No mention of your teams trip to London today?
Yes, it's a real shock that a football team eventually lost a game. Keyboard warriors have been predicting it for the last three months:)

We didn't play as well as we have been and certainly didn't get the rub of the green, two very soft goals, hit the woodwork twice, Arsenal suddenly learned how to tackle and compete. No complaints though, we had plenty of luck last week against Southampton, what goes around....

Draw would have been a fairer result. I guess the penalty that wasn't was a bit of payback for the other one that wasn't in the mid week game.

Er, the one on Wednesday was.

It was at the time the time and subsequently validated.

The one yesterday was a bit soft but I can see why the referee gave it. If it hadn't been given it would have been equally controversial. That is why VAR is never going to totally clear up decisions in football, so many are down to interpretation rather than being black and white.

Still in favour of it though!

Football is played by..... to quote from Jesse Ventura's character in Predator..... "slack-jawed faggots". Fact.
