Lewis Cook shouldn’t have gone down. Never know why (unless there is genuine injury) players do that as it means you have no end goal to work towards and are at the complete mercy of the referee in terms of how much additional time to the injury time he’s going to add.

Its 6 mins plus anything added on
Every teams supporters of their respective clubs believes this though. All supporters focus on the decisions that didn't go their way while believing the decisions that went their way were just. It's inherit supporter bias.

the corruption was there for everyone to see, six fuckin minutes and he plays ove eight mins, no fuckin wonder people think theres an agenda, they don't even try to cover it up anymore, no wonder pep says he doesn't engage with the bent bastards anymore
Which is a knee jerk reaction, but I prefer it to the knee jerk on my Arsenal whatsappgroup with 100s of 'the seasons over', 'sack Arteta', whenever we go a goal down in a game
Having said that, absolutely amazing feeling winning a game so late on from a Hale End youth player who I always hoped would make it.

you can have it this season assisted by the bent premier league, but next season you'll be back to mid table obscurity without their help

Was only following it on the betting app on my phone in the pub after our match so can’t comment on whether the extra time on top of the 6 minutes was justified but if it’s as you say then fair enough.
And that actually brings to mind our game away to Bournemouth early in our 2017/18 title winning season. We were going into added on time level at 1-1. I can’t remember how much time was officially added on but Sterling scored a deflected winner after that official stoppage time was up. I remember going on Red Cafe some time later and United fans were screaming that it was a conspiracy but anyone who watched the match would’ve seen that there was a lengthy break in play in the early throes of stoppage time as Guardiola and Howe were having a bit of a spat on the touchline and the ref was trying to sort that out. As such, there was nothing controversial about Sterling’s late winner.
Whoever we support, I think we all sometimes need to realise that when the board goes up to indicate the amount of added on time, this is always only a “minimum” so it could go over for varying reasons.

ok 14th
Let's not forget they have just nicked a last gasp winner against probably the worst side in the league and the official contrived to give them as much time as possible to allow them to do it.
They look leggy to me and still think they will drop off and we will step in and take it.

Take your head for a wobble ffs. Swings and roundabouts, their goal disallowed against Brentford was a joke, they got the luck today.
Fact of the matter is Bournemouth were time wasting cunts and didn't even do it properly and they fucked it
Arsenal will drop more points, but they are a serious outfit. The game at the Etihad will be mega
Are you a set-in-stone top 4 club and title chaser ? A cup team maybe, but not a title for 20 years, a generation of being shit and selling all your best players means your not a top 4 team, that's why I feel you are Leicester City shock leaders, But City and Liverpool will back with even more power next season so Arsenal have to get over the line this season because if you don't then the wheel could come off,
Arsenal is not this so-called major team anymore and its why its a shock your leading the league, I had City Liverpool Chelsea United in the top 4 places before the season started, then Spurs and Newcastle before Arsenal, if you asked the football world, and media the same question at the start of the season I would bet 99% would have given the same answers,
So don't come on here giving it the billy big bollocks about being a Big Club because you have not been for many years now, Is it a one-season wonder Leicester City Yes, But win the title and be a top 4 club for the next 5 to 10 seasons I Don't see it, I can Guarantee Manchester City Liverpool Chelsea United Even Newcastle will be the major teams next season and Arsenal will find it hard going,

I heard that they have won 3 games in injury time, looked and it’s correct….
United (h)
Villa (a) 2 goals
Bournemouth (h)
Thats 6 points gained in extra time

the truth is teams build a foundation and City and Liverpool over the last 5 seasons have been the teams to beat
You get the Season like we are having and one team like Arsenal shocks and lead the league, Even Liverpool is not that far off top 4 place with 2 games in hand over Spurs so I sort do think Liverpool will get a top 4th place

People need to stop banging on about the Brentford goal like Arsenal deserved anything more than a draw in that game. Brentford had a goal chalked off earlier that should’ve stood. It was a fair result.
Not to mention that we were cheated out of games at Old Trafford and Anfield.
Honestly I think if we put football allegancies aside I think we'd all agree as possession sides at least that we'd prefer time to be cut whenever the ball isn't in play. I believe there has been some talk about this with the football authorities.

To be fair, those sorts of results win you leagues. When it keeps happening it ceases to be luck. Its because they are a half decent team

Their reaction reminds me of slippy after they beat us. They thought it was won.

If Bournemouth hadn't have got a little bit cocky and come out of their defensive 11 formation after going 2-0 up, it'd still be 2-0, no matter how long the dick'ed ref added on.
Arsenal didn't have a clue how to get behind a solid packed defence that sucker-punched them on the break, TWICE.
To be fair to Arsenal, they rode the wave of euphoria after they got their first, but fuck me, they're a bunch of screaming fannies at times.
Fall over, scream at ref for a free-kick! No "3rd man bookings" though. Weird, eh? ;)
Crowd going berserk whenever Bournemouth took about 5 seconds to take a throw/goal-kick etc.
No wonder Eddie got booked for "timewasting" with that lot screaming like girls, but I suppose that's what you get when captain scarlet's bouncing around like a chimp on acid down the touchline.
Giddy fuckers were screaming for penalties every five seconds from what I saw too, even Zinny got in on the act as a ball pinged off a Bournemouth leg and went out for a corner.
I'm not saying that they've been favoured by the refs all season, as that'd be wrong, but they certainly haven't had to deal with the bullshit we've had to put up with off them.
Hope more teams park the bus against them and hold their nerve when it's working, unlike Bournemouth, hey, maybe knob'ed neville will do a "this is how to nulify/beat Arsenal" mini-documentary on Sky this week, but I won't be holding my breath.
Decent attacking team, mentally unhinged though. Can't wait for Arteta's "I'd love it" moment as it seems that it's only weeks away, IMO.
