Can I just send another thanks to Mike Garlick for the absolute **** show of a squad that he’s left us with.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 2:59 pm

How did that not go in.

Perhaps if we had taken better care of our own business (failed to win any of the crucial home games against Fulham, Brighton, West Brom and Newcastle) we would not now need to be looking nervously looking over our shoulder.

Only ourselves to blame.

BPF starts again with Pope out, and Cork comes in for Vydra as Burnley go 4-5-1

We are going 4-5-1. Wood up top on his own.

Don't think Arteta will be bothered about the result, he'll be hoping that they don't have to play us next season.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:09 pm

This will be fun to watch. Chris Wood up top on his own spells a complete borefest.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:10 pm

Arsenal are 11 Ashley Westwoods

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:10 pm

Fulham look like hanging on and no Pope or Vydra. Just need to lose at Spot the Ball now to make my day complete.

Game is fixed, but I only thought it, I didn't say it

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:10 pm

Never thought I'd say this, but COME ON Arsenal.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:16 pm

Nicolas Pepe for £75m is the worst transfer pound for pound in football history.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:19 pm

The BBC will be in dreamland if Fulham hold on.

Now, now, don't exaggerate he only cost £72m, he's still dogger though.

GET INNNNNNN

Get innnn!

We used to have a budgie called Pepe. It was a better footballer than that lump at Arsenal.
They’ve just equalised.

timshorts · Post by **timshorts** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:25 pm

Offside, presumably

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:25 pm

1-1 at Arsenal

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:26 pm

EricaJacko · Post by **EricaJacko** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:26 pm

Yes... I've lost my bet!

Couldn't give a toss, it's worth it!

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:26 pm

No way VAR can take that one off. BEAUT.

Yeesss

Is there a more beautiful sight than Scott Parker looking disappointed?

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:26 pm

Great touch by the Arsenal keeper

Wembley09 · Post by **Wembley09** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:26 pm

Fk off VAR

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:27 pm

Oh my God what are VAR even doing here?? No surely not. SURELY NOT.

VAR needs to go.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:27 pm

Goal given. They did their best back at VAR HQ to give the goal away, they try their best for Scottie every week.

Could be huge that goal. Stating the obvious!!

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:28 pm

I’m amazed that wasn’t disallowed

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:28 pm

Surely if the match was fixed only 2 minutes would have been added instead of 7

So much for conspiracy theories.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:28 pm

Thank FK for that

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:29 pm

Wow, I’ll let them off that extra time handball winner against us now!!!

EricaJacko · Post by **EricaJacko** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:29 pm

I didn't think Arsenal would win, but that draw feels like they did.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:30 pm

Thank ****.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:30 pm

I dont think I've ever seen a team as unlucky as Fulham have been this season. They really do deserve to stay up this season but thankfully for us it aint gonna happen

If Stockley Park were in charge of accumulating the injury time, I wouldn’t be surprised at them finishing the game in the 89th minute.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:30 pm

Imagine if VAR had disallowed that. 8 mins into extra time, that's gotta hurt. Poor old Scottie, probably wished he could be beamed up now

EricaJacko · Post by **EricaJacko** » Sun Apr 18, 2021 3:30 pm

"Fulham boss Scott Parker is arguing with the officials as they walk off. Presumably he feels that late goal was offside."
