[taio]

Blatant dive. Book him.

[martin_p]

Blatant dive. Book him.

It wasn’t a pen, but there was more contact than in the one we conceded yesterday.

[ElectroClaret]

It wasn’t a pen, but there was more contact than in the one we conceded yesterday.

There certainly was.

[taio]

It wasn’t a pen, but there was more contact than in the one we conceded yesterday.

It was still a dive. I would agree that the incompetent England would have given it.

[jos]

It wasn’t a pen, but there was more contact than in the one we conceded yesterday.

Just said the same to Mrs jos, “Let it go, nothings going to change it now” , and she’s right but I’m still fizzing about the injustice!

[ElectroClaret]

1-1
VAR check..... given.

[Vegas Claret]

notice how Brighton players, especially Dunk, are charging after the ref any time a Liverpool player commits a foul. Tossers

[ElectroClaret]

2-1 Salah

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Hope Liverpool see this out. Brighton are horrendous, constantly diving and moaning at the ref (who has been terrible)

Not a surprise to me, Brighton have always done that. It's a club culture thing.

[Burnley Ace]

What a pass from Salah!!

[Swizzlestick]

Not a surprise to me, Brighton have always done that. It's a club culture thing.

Horrible under Poyet.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Superb result, divers go home with nothing.

[Bosscat]

It wasn’t a pen, *but there was more contact than in the one we conceded yesterday.

*Agreed ... had the Ref given the pen VAR would have backed him but he didn't give a pen so VAR backed him ...

Its time we had independent VAR officials and not part of the Old Boys Ref Club.

[bfcmartin]

Why did the ref not book Jesus then it was more of a foul than either of Assignons yesterday must be because he plays for Arsenal

[Tricky Trevor]

I’ve spent the first 20mins watching Haaland as he has such a poor record against the top 6.
He’s like a flagpole. No movement, even when there were obvious balls into him.
He’ll probably score now and then his job is done.

[Bordeauxclaret]

This game needs a goal.

[dougcollins]

How come Arsenal are allowed to wear white shorts?

[Vegas Claret]

is there any danger of players actually wanting to play the game instead of surrounding the refs after every single decision ? It's so tedious

[Conroysleftfoot]

Boring game so far.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Must have missed the announcement that cynical fouls are no longer yellow cards. I assume that rule only applies to certain clubs though

[Pickles]

How come Arsenal are allowed to wear white shorts?

Is it because they're wearing different coloured socks?

As an all round footballer he isn't fit to lace Harry Kane's boots.

[Burnley1989]

I agree and weirdly I wouldn't have said that 6 months ago

[Somethingfishy]

This is like watching paint dry.

[beddie]

Hadn’t realised that Kevin Keegan had become Peps number 2.

[Conroysleftfoot]

This is like watching paint dry.

I think that is being complimentary, watching paint dry would be spectacular compared to this.

[Funkydrummer]

Very rarely do these games live up to expectations.

I'm watching whilst renovating a nest of tables !!

Guess which is more enjoyable and rewarding !!!!!

[hetheclaret]

This is like watching paint dry.

To be expected - two brilliant teams cancelling each other out. And in the context of the title race, a draw is fine for either of them, but a loss would be a disaster.

[Funkydrummer]

Whatever happened to the art of crossing a ball ?

Shocking attempts throughout by both sides today.

[Boss Hogg]

City Arsenal been a boring game to watch but they are cancelling each other out.

[Funkydrummer]

What does Haaland do when not scoring goals ?

Bit of a passenger to me.

[claptrappers_union]

Raya’s distribution is dreadful

[Vegas Claret]

such a negative performance from Arsenal. I really really hope they don't win the league

[Colburn_Claret]

That was awful.
Everytime City got the ball, slow it down, don't cross the halfway line until Arsenal have reset the backline.
Slow, slow, slower, slower, slow.
Yawn.

At least Arsenal worked for the point they were happy with, but City deserved nothing.

Had to miss it due to them deciding to put it on at team team on Easter Sunday, with no thought for viewers family commitments… glad I missed SFA and will catch up on motd2 for the general gist.

[Murger]

What a yawn fest.

[NottsClaret]

That was absolutely dreadful, a half arsed 90 minute rondo training drill.

[kentonclaret]

There were 2 things that I thought were pretty much “nailed on” this weekend. A low scoring draw between Manchester City and Arsenal and that neither of the crews would jump into the Thames at the end of the Boat Race. The fear factor evident in both outcomes.
