Declan is such a good player. GG Arsenal, 2 more to go!
Come on, that was barely a nudge. Look, I get the rationale behind it, but I think it was quite harsh. I wouldn't call it a "definitely not a goal" type of decision, but I also don't think they would overturn the on field one..
It didn't have to be much of a nudge though. Raya has his eyes on the ball and the touch shifts his position only slightly, but significantly enough that he can no longer catch the ball. Without that touch, there's no goal to disallow.
Either way, it'd be hard to argue that the result of the game wasn't the right one
Oh, for sure. I didn't see live the challenge on Saka, but saw the clip in this thread and I have no idea how that was not a blatant red... so the game could've been much worse for Bournemouth. Otherwise really professional performance from Arsenal
There's talk he's going to have yet another operation on his knee in the summer, I don't think anyone is going to be buying him, I'd rather see him used wide than through the middle next season
My test for this type of thing is 'how would I feel if it was my club' and I have to say I'd be livid at the decision, whether it's right or not.
That being said, it is pretty funny for this to happen after a week of press and social media pearl clutching over some very pedestrian mucking about, and standing in front of a keeper, about Ben White.
Ah Hull just missed out, though the final day defeat kept Plymouth up so I can hardly be too mad.
Those playoff teams are quite the uninspiring selection. Leeds and Southampton went down last year and West Brom and Norwich we've had up and down in the PL for the last 10+ years.
Tbf Hull would've been the same. Sorry Uzzy.
Basically this post but replace Luton with Burnley. Doesn't matter how much of the ball you have if your critical attacking play is so flat
ETH is way beyond optics as this point. Everyone knows how it's going there
Ref was bullied into it…was never giving it until KdB and the City players surrounded him, which is supposed to be illegal. 🤷🏻♂️
He put a hat trick away against Manchester United last year (and scored 5 against RB Leipzig)
We (Saints) are liable to choke with Russell Martin, so I expect nothing from us being in that rat-fight.
