Early KO.
Arsenal 1 Palace 0 after 13 mins.

Southampton ripping Swansea apart. Benson would really enjoy himself playing in this Southampton team.

Not many matches on today. Gooners desperately need a win. Type of match Palace usually turn up for.

Arsenal score a very similar goal to Luton last week,VAR confirm it.

Shoving a goalie is obviously allowed now.

Wouldn’t say he actually shoved him,I thought he just leaned on him,mind you I thought Luton’s goal was ok last week,but let’s no go there.

Totally different apparently

3-0 Arsenal

Russell Martin doing a really good job at Saints. They had a poor start to the season, but they have really turned it around.
Swansea fans were really ****** when he left them, and they had some of the best possession stats in last seasons championship.
I'm surprised he isn't this season's 'Carrick', the media love a poster boy.

Arsenal and Luton’s goals are different for me.

White simply stands in front of the GK. It’s gamesmanship, but hard to penalise because he’s literally stood still.

Adebayo looks at Trafford and makes a movement towards him to block him off. He turns his back as he steps backwards to maximise the block. It’s a more proactive effort to disrupt the GK.

I still can’t believe we lost to Palace. They were rank bad at the Turf and no better now

Westleigh · Post by **Westleigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 3:24 pm

Rovers pulled back by Huddersfield to 1-1 .

Well done Scott, let's have a few more of them before the end of the season!

Sancho “buys” a penalty for Dortmund.

I agree that both are different and it would have been a real sickener had the Arsenal goal been disallowed by VAR after our misfortune.
Maybe the key to both goals being allowed to stand is that on neither occasions did the goalkeepers get a touch on the ball. I reckon the officials decisions might have been different in both incidents

chekhov · Post by **chekhov** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 3:58 pm

Then Maatsen provides fantastic assist for Dortmund’s third…

Twine scores

A header apparently. I think he's playing as a number 10. He was always on the left wing for Hull and that is definitely not his position.

shot down low saved by the keeper, ball goes up into the air and it's who can jump highest between Twine and Jake Livermore. Twine wins the header comfortably as he has more of a run at it and sticks it in the corner

Agree. Do we know if his loan deal gives Bristol an option to buy at the end of the season?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:20 pm

I like Twine, but do we reckon he's going to improve sufficiently to play at PL level?
At 24, he still has time, i'd say, certainly hope so.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:22 pm

'ex' Claret Anthony Mancini scores for Hartlepool, that's some drop in standard for him !

I'm thinking off him playing for us in the Championship next season. A good second half of the season with Bristol City would help greatly

Agreed, should be very good for us in the Championship.

How sad ,I’m watching Rovers to lighten up the weekend ,they are even worse than last season ,plus players going down injured like 9 pins.How the mighty have fallen.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:31 pm

Yes, lots of booing at HT, always good to hear.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:38 pm

It's lovely to see Rovers so low down in the Championship. We're pretty dreadful but goodness, it could be worse.

Rovers fans spent a lot of last season moaning about Jon Dahl Tomasson and his style of play etc even when they were briefly in the top two and punching above their weight. But last season was their best in years, although Rovers fans acknowledging that would require them to know something about football.

Ivan Toney back for Brentford, and an in-form Chris Wood for Forest.
0-1 Forest 2 mins.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:44 pm

I thought that if you tried to stop a free kick being taken quickly by standing in front of the ball you received a booking but today most referees don't seem to be doing that.

Westleigh · Post by **Westleigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:51 pm

1 each ,Toney ,the way the commentators are going on you’d think it been out with a life threatening injury not dodgy gambling.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:52 pm

Brilliant from Toney 1-1

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:54 pm

Struggling with the Sky love-in for a player just back after an 8 month ban. Doesn’t feel right to be lauding him like they were, even though he has served his punishment.

Would take 1-1 in this game though. Anything but a Forest win but a draw and we lose no ground to either this gameweek (despite it feeling like it). Forest look rank bad though.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:58 pm

Peterborough in for £30 million windfall if IT is flogged for £100 million, apparently.
30% sell on clause.
Arsenal said to be still interested at that figure.

This level is all about sneakiness as well as talent.

Commentators completely missed Toney moving the ball a foot to his right, at the edge of England’s white foam. Yates then compounded it by jumping inside, which the commentator did spot. Unlike the keeper.

When Toney moved the ball the defender should have dragged his wall over to cover it .

He was referring to himself as ‘the king is back’ in some interviews I’d seen this week.

Laughable, really. He’s lucky he didn’t get sacked.
