Premier League Handball Rule amendment, subsection 13, bullet point 5c; "unless said player is a Manchester City player and the resulting penalty will add "entertainment" to a tight or important game - Please note - Explanation for said decision can be made at a later date after scrutinizing the laws at leisure and finding a wooly enough description that allows a loophole to be formed" ;)

about right

Why don't we share the spoils? You have the Champions League and FA Cup, we have the league and Europa League, then that really pisses Utd and Liverpool off. :-)

I think plenty of City fans would be happy with that. This stop/start World Cup season has been hard work.

I thought it was a season or two too early for this Arsenal squad.. I might have been wrong.. avoided football after our win and recorded MOTD.. sat down 20 minutes ago and at two nill down in the second half I thought here we go.. it’s ours again.. but 5 mins later I accept they are firm favourites now.. keep answering questions. They really want it.. unfortunately I think they will get it now.. fair fucks… we can’t win it every year!

Thats about right, and tbf if they can match their last 12 game points tally and we match our last twelve game tally - they win by 5 pts. I can see us both dropping so i think Arsenal in it by 4 or 5 pts ...fair play

I looked at my watch thinking Ederson has just enough time to launch it forward and maybe, just maybe, we win the second ball and get a shot away and IIRC the ref blew just as Ederson was about to kick the ball.

Didn't a similar thing happen at the end of a game where Jack Grealish was about to put in a cross but the final whistle went rather than giving City one last chance? Maybe against Spurs?The opposition usually seem to waste most of the match against City but are never penalised. Unlike Ederson against Arsenal? There seems to be a pattern emerging, yellow cards are similar. The opposition gets away with numerous bookings yet City players are often booked for the first foul.

It was actually blown 14 seconds before the four minutes were up on the actual TV screen.

Yet we hear all sorts of excuses for Arsenal having extra extra time. Six minutes plus when they need a goal. Maybe it's just part of the " strategic plan "?.

You certainly deserve to win the Champions League, that's for sure. Would be borderline criminal if a team as good as Peps City doesn't win it. Unfortunately as you've seen it's a cup competition which means the best team doesn't always win it.

Nelsons mistake was not being a player from Manchester Utd. He could have punched the ref then and got away with it.

It seems that's exactly what happened against Forest. Some were asking where the six minutes Arsenal got against Bournemouth came from and there was time added on to that. Against Forest I think the whistle was blown on four minutes of extra time despite the time wasting.

It was blown seconds before the four minutes was up IIRC
