Arsenal.

On prime video if anyone wants a watch.

Arsenal win would keep the title race interesting at least instead of the usual City procession.

Yep, win tonight and City will march their way to the title. Need Arsenal to win to keep it interesting.

Anthony Taylor is a good referee. If only refs at our games booked keepers for time-wasting.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:11 pm

And gives pens against them too.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:12 pm

no way that's a penalty, that's Taylor in a nutshell - horrific decision, it's a contact sport

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:14 pm

Clear pen that.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:15 pm

Not a pen for me. It’s nothing to do with the lack of intent, just the fact that Ederson doesn’t possess the ability to instantly disappear.

Making for a good game though.

Goody1975 · Post by **Goody1975** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:16 pm

The interpretation has always been that if a player gets his shot away then any contact afterwards is dismissed.

It happens at least once a game, if we are going down this route then expect multiple penalties. We know that just isn't going to happen though don't we?

exactly, Arsenal didn't even appeal for it. All about Taylor, horrific ref, I still remember him giving us a penalty at Swansea after a hand ball by Vokes

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:21 pm

Very much doubt we'd ever get a pen like that given us away at Arsenal.

Whatever your view on pen / no pen; he should have booked every citeh player hounding him.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:55 pm

Just seen the Arsenal pen incident, sorry but it’s not a penalty. The keeper has attempted to make a save, entitled to do it, Nketiah has already got his shot away and it’s missed, what an awful decision.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 8:58 pm

Want Arsenal to win the title purely because I dislike dynasties but Arteta is a classless pr1ck.

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:01 pm

How was that a foul against Grealish? Both players committed, both fell over. If anything it was a foul for handball by JG.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:06 pm

City score through Grealish!

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:06 pm

City score.

This makes me agree

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:20 pm

Makes you wonder just how many Haaland is going to end up with this season.
Not too shabby, is he.

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:23 pm

How many chances is Nketiah going to miss!

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:26 pm

One team has a world class striker and one doesn’t.

Made a huge difference tonight.

Don't even need a 'World Class' striker to score the two headers Nketiah missed. I fancy arsenal to win that game with Ivan Toney up front, or Callum Wilson or Mitrovic. I'm not sure there's a team in the league that would swap their first choice striker for Eddie Nketiah. Maybe Man Utd.

In the second half 22% of Manchester City passes were categorised as “long ball”, the highest 2nd half percentage of long ball passes since Pep was appointed Manchester City manager. Pep had clearly identified a weakness in the Arsenal back 4 and Manchester City full took advantage.
