or a urinal - what a pathetic setup at what is supposed to be a brand new ground - blokes just pissing anywhere and everywhere because of the utterly sh*t bog provision for away fans!

Are we sure it wasn't bogs being crowded by coke heads?

Urinal ? Piss in their nice new sinks , sorted.

When Arsenal win the league. It will be us that has bottled it.

Not sure , bottling is usually when the firm favourites who have topped the league all season finish in 2nd place , we have had two days at the top of the league , and have never been fancied to win the title by anybody , maybe we should be appreciated for the fact we have created a title race . If we hadnt stepped up the Goons would have won the title by Easter , so well done Pep and the players , a season of transition has turned into a probable two trophies , champions league football and developed some very promising young players for a very optimistic 2026/7 season.
If we do win the FA Cup the Community Shield will be our fourth visit to Wembley in 2026 , bloody expensive as well

And many of those pages if people knew the offside law to show why Barry was not offside.

He didn't do any of what law 11 says would have made him offside rather than just in an offside position :

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

● interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or

● interfering with an opponent by:

• preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or

• challenging an opponent for the ball or

• clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or

• making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball.

The door for them was never really closed, we have caught up and in with a chance, less of a chance now though.

A team being allowed to rack up a 6 point lead with the only contender not actually playing is not right though.

Fortunate for them but makes the title run in a bit of a mockery.

Once we beat Arsenal it was all in our hands

Burnley one goal was first sign of trying to give away advantage and yesterday it furthered the mess

Still tough games coming up - Bournemouth Brentford Villa

Bottling is not winning from place of advantage which we had lost arsenal win


Not beating Burnley was first step towards bottljob given our gd yesterday was other

 

[youngbob]

That bottle has nothing to do with us making daft mistakes and only trying to properly attack in the last 5-10 minutes last night Bob.

If/when Arsenal win the league one of their players is going to mention that "Arsenal tears" bottle guy and say that when they saw him on TV they knew they had to use him as inspiration.

We did beat Burnley 1-0 so a strange comment , we had a one goal advantage the Goons had a nine point advantage , hardly comparable , and your English comprehension is shite.

 

[Berti No Show]

Cunts are already at it!!!

Knew when this went viral it would bite us on the arse somewhere along the line.

It's the classic story, get too carried away with yourself and it usually comes back to bite you. Even if it was banter, the way he's come across looked very arrogant, and if we do end up finishing 2nd, he won't be living it down anytime soon. That sort of thing sticks, and people will remind him of it for years.

Pride comes before a fall as they say...
That's why it's better to stay humble.

Its always best to wait until the end.

 

[Longdarnit Blue]

I’d have scored both of them… so would you. No ability was required.

To be fair, we did provide a couple of decent assists for them both.

Yep. Bottling it is when you've been favourites and have had a lead. We've never been there.

For a definition of bottling please see Ferguson, the Rags and an 8 point lead with 6 games to go.

Anyone able to explain in simple terms as to why the linesman put his flag up for the Guehi backpass incident?

Would he not have known it was a new phase to play?

Does seem a bit bizarre that hes 10 yards from the incident but clearly thinks that whatever Barry did was classed as offside

And then based on that, what is then classed as the clear and obvious error in order to change the onfield decision

I'd hazard a guess that a lesser experienced official was overruled by the other officials who weren't best placed to make an assessment of the situation, but they overruled him anyway, because of course...

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Disappointing result, but it did prove we fight to the end and in the words of Declan Rice, It's not over. YET.

 

[NMB]

Exactly right. The PL, Sky, the press and football fans everywhere should thank us for making something of this competition which, thanks to the ineptitude of other clubs, could have been done and dusted weeks ago.

 

[Johnnyblue7]

Any true historic Blue who followed this club through thin and even thinner would have pissed themselves laughing if anyone would have said we'd be where we are right now and what we've seen recently.
Stay humble and stay real.

Only to wind the gullible up mate.
