Good win for the Blues today Mockster!

It really was, I feel like one more win and a draw should be enough to stay up now.

And congratulations to Rangers today as well LT.

Sadly it looks like next season is gonna have to be the time for Rangers to try and win the League.

A furious Antonio Conte says his players are "selfish" and Tottenham "can change the manager but the situation cannot change" in a stinging criticism of the club's culture.

The Spurs boss said his team "don't want to help each other" after a 3-3 draw at Southampton on Saturday.

"Tottenham's story is this - 20 years there is this owner and they never won something. Why?" Conte said.

Spurs had led by two goals at St Mary's but conceded twice in 15 minutes.

"The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here?" said Conte. "I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment.

"Until now I try to hide the situation but not now because, I repeat, I don't want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans."

Tottenham have won one trophy since the ownership group, chaired by Daniel Levy, took over the club in 2001 - the League Cup in 2008.

They have had 11 different managers in that time, including three since the departure of Mauricio Pochettino in 2019, who took them to the Champions League final before being sacked six months later.

Spurs are out of all cup competitions this season with Sheffield United knocking them out of the FA Cup before AC Milan ended their Champions League hopes - and Conte said it is time for the club and players to start taking responsibility.

"Not only the club, the manager and the staff. The players have to be involved in this situation because it is time to change this situation if Tottenham want to change," he said.

"If they want to continue in this way, they can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change. Believe me.

"Maybe previously in the other games something can change. But here we're used to it for a long time. The club has the responsibility for the transfer market, every coach that stayed here has the responsibility. And the players? The players? Where are the players?

"Maybe previously in the other games something can change. But here we're used to it for a long time. The club has the responsibility for the transfer market, every coach that stayed here has the responsibility. And the players? The players? Where are the players?

"In my experience, I can tell you that if you want to be competitive, if you want to fight, you have to improve this aspect. And this aspect, I can tell you, in this moment is really, really low. And I see only 11 players that play for themselves."

When asked why this is the case at Tottenham, Conte said: "Because they are used to it here, they are used to it. They don't play for something important here. They don't want to play under pressure, they don't want to play under stress."

Spurs remain fourth in the Premier League and had the chance to go above Manchester United into third with victory over Southampton, but during his damning media conference after the match, Conte said if their current form continues they will be lucky to secure a Champions League spot at all.

He said: "There are 10 games to go and some people think we can fight. Fight for what with this spirit, this attitude, this commitment? What? For seventh, eighth, 10th place?

"We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, I see players that don't want to help each other and don't put their heart.

"I am not used to this position. I'm really upset and everyone has to take their responsibility."

He may as well wear a sign saying sack me please :laugh:

[Mystic Mock]

I understand his frustration though.

I honestly don't get the point of teams like Tottenham taking part in a competition to just not even really try to do the best that they can.

Especially when teams with less gifted players in their squads like Newcastle, Brighton, Fulham & Brentford are really pushing to the top of their limit.

Both are absolute leg breakers and both are result of the ridiculously lenient officiating these days !!!

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says he has "never felt old enough to retire" as he prepares to return to the dugout on Saturday.

The 75-year-old is already the Premier League's oldest manager from his spell at Watford last year.

He will take charge of Palace against Leicester on Saturday, having being reappointed for the rest of the season.

Chelsea are going through what Arsenal/Utd did before. We'll bounce back. And humiliate the likes of Arsenal like we have done for the 20 years on the whole.

Creating chances is definitely a positive, because the worst for Chelsea would be for them to not be creating any chances, or only a few chances in the match.

Tuesday's Premier League matches will briefly be paused for Muslim players who have been fasting during Ramadan.

If clubs have requested a stoppage before the game, the referee will signal for a break, allowing Muslim players to eat and drink at pitchside.

Everton's game against Tottenham was stopped in the 26th minute to allow players that had been fasting during the day to take on energy supplements.

Three Muslim players were in action for Sean Dyche's side at Goodison Park.

Although sunset was before kick-off, allowing players to break their fast, a drinks break was pre-agreed with the referee when both teams - including Toffees trio Abdoulaye Doucoure, Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye - came to the side of the pitch to take on fluids.

Play does not stop while matches are in mid-flow, but at the earliest convenient moment during a goal-kick, free-kick or throw-in.

Teams and match officials will discuss beforehand whether a pause is required and an approximate time for the stoppage will be agreed.

With the 19:45 BST kick-offs on Tuesday coming close to sunset, an agreement might be reached to delay the start by a couple of minutes to allow players to break their fast, which was the case in Friday's Championship game between Burnley and Sunderland.

Nottingham Forest say Steve Cooper remains manager but "results and performances must improve immediately".

Forest, beaten 2-1 by Leeds United on Tuesday, are 17th in the Premier League, above the relegation zone only on goal difference.

In a statement, owner Evangelos Marinakis said he wished to end "false and disruptive reporting" about Cooper's future.

Forest have not won in eight games, the longest winless run in the top flight.

Cooper joined Forest in September 2021 and guided them to the Premier League for the first time since 1999 in his first season.

Arsenal were by far the better team in the first half. The penalty was a joke. If anything, i think it was a foul on Holding. That ball was no ones ball so how the ref gave a pen is beyond me.

It feels like two points lost. IF you'd have asked before the game if I'd accept a point at Anfield I'd have snapped your hand off but to go two nil up and not win.

I didnt like the Arsenal tactics in the 2nd half. It let Liverpool back into the game. You cant park the bus for 45 minutes at Anfield. When we played our football we outplayed Liverpool. We had 4 shots on goal in the first half, The lopsided xG is cuz of the tactics.

Dont mention the ref. Another weak ref influenced by the Anfield crowd. What did he book Saka for? Yet Henderson was chirping away at the ref all game.

Lets face it, Liverpool are a shadows of the team from the last few years. There are clear weaknesses in this team and I cannot understand why our manager didnt go more cut throat after effectively exposing these weaknesses in the first half. You were allowed back into the game. Why, I dunno

[GiRTh]

newcastle will be a tough game for arsenal too, with CL spots being very competitiveThis is true

[Alf]

xG was high due to Arsenal parking the bus. You had one shot on target in the first half. Jesus also missed a quite easy chance at the far post. It should have been 3-1 at half time to Arsenal.Not like Jesus to not take the headlines at Easter.

From what I can see, Arsenal has the more difficult run-in. I can't see Man City dropping many points in their games.

From what I can see, Arsenal has the more difficult run-in. I can't see Man City dropping many points in their games.Agreed. If Arsenal had won today I think we could afford to lose at the Etihad. Now we need at least a point there and Im not sure we're gonna get anything away at City

[bots]

i think the fact that arsenal dont have europe midweek will give them a bit of an advantage

No further action will be taken against assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis following an incident involving Liverpool's Andy Robertson, the Football Association has said.

Hatzidakis had been stood down while an investigation was held after Sunday's match between Liverpool and Arsenal.

He made contact with Robertson's chin after the player approached him at the end of the first half at Anfield.

"I look forward to returning to officiating matches," Hatzidakis said.

"I fully assisted the FA with their investigation and have discussed the matter directly with Andy Robertson during an open and positive conversation," the match official added.

"It was certainly not my intention to make any contact with Andy as I pulled my arm away from him and for that I have apologised."

The FA said it had reached its decision after thoroughly reviewing all of the evidence.

"Our comprehensive process involved reviewing detailed statements from Liverpool and PGMOL, as well as multiple angles of video footage, in relation to both the incident and its surrounding circumstances," an FA statement said.

Watkins needs to leave ASAP.

From what I can see, Arsenal has the more difficult run-in. I can't see Man City dropping many points in their games.I don't think there is such a thing as a more difficult run-in. You all play the same teams twice over the season. You can only beat what is in front of you at the time. If you're good enough to be the best team then you will win whomever your opponents are.

[bots]

it will come down to injuries in the run in. The team that avoids injuries will win

[bots]

Can West Ham shake it up today?

[MTVN]

I very much doubt it sadly

[MTVN]

But ones thing for sure

[MTVN]

Need to keep up the pressure because we're liable to concede every time they go forward

[GiRTh]

Bottle jobs. You cant go two up two weeks running away from home and get pegged back

We cant park the bus against our own under 15 so why we try against these teams is beyond me. :shrug:

[bots]

yeah 2 weeks in a row is pretty bad

[bots]

surprised they took jesus off, i thought he was the best player on the pitch

[bots]

great recovery from West Ham. Advantage City

[MTVN]

Well well well :smug:

Our best performance of the season I think, players were brilliant to a man after going 2-0 down. Even the likes of Kehrer and Cresswell I feared for before the game did very well for most of it

[MTVN]

Where has Zizu been?

He must have enjoyed some lovely football from West Ham today and another superb Rice performance

[bots]

haven't seen Zizu in a few weeks

[Swan]

Still in Arsenals hands though

https://media.tenor.com/1t5zdyZYi9cAAAAM/falling-house-of-cards.gifYep.

You cant go two up, two weeks running and get pegged back two weeks running. If you're champions material there needs to be a mentality that kicks in that you're just not gonna allow it to happen. Doesnt matter how well the opposition play, doesnt matter how much the crowd gets into it, doesn't matter what Xhaka did. Arsenal cannot squander leads like they're doing.

The title is Man City's to lose

[bots]

arsenal had the killer instinct earlier in the season, when they won with the last kick of the ball a couple of times, so something has certainly changed

[GiRTh]

Maybe the pressure is getting to them

[MTVN]

Holding playing doesn't help and Saka was poor today, not sure why he stayed on over Jesus and Martinelli

Arsenal play some great stuff but there is that element of naivety there

Manager is too scared to sub off Starboy.

Holding scares the life out of me. Any half decent striker can give him the run around. Today and lest week show how important Saliba is to the team already. It also shows our lack of depth. If one or two of the starting eleven are out, we're not where near the team that was top dominating in the early season

Tbh that Man City fixture looks like it'll be a long night for you guys if you're struggling against a team fighting to avoid relegation.

Hopefully I'm wrong though.

[Mystic Mock]

haven't seen Zizu in a few weeks

Hopefully they're okay.

[Denver]

We needed that

Great finish from Martinelli. Game on.

[MTVN]

Why is Martinelli not at least booked for that scummy move, taken a player out the game

[Crimson Dynamo]

I swear if they choke this..

Silly, last few games have shown Arsenal are most flustered when teams are going for it. If Saints try and park the bus they won't survive

Two teams play out the game of the season but are both gutted at the end of it. That's football <3

8 minutes extra time :laugh:

Bottle jobs.

Hopefully a miracle will happen at the Etihad.

Avoid defeat at the Etihad and Arsenal are back in the driving seat. That's how Arsenal fans should view it.

City have 2 games in hand over them so if they win them they go ahead of them so a draw does nothing

[James]

City have 2 games in hand over them so if they win them they go ahead of them so a draw does nothingOh yeah, right. Didn't think of that.

[Swan]

City have 2 games in hand over them so if they win them they go ahead of them so a draw does nothing

But being that Arsenal play City in the run in, if Arsenal win their remaining 6 games, they'll win the league. Same applies to City. If they win their remaining 8 games, they'll win the league.

[bots]

personally, i think the league will be won or lost outside of wednesday's game. A lot can happen in the 6 or so remaining games

[Nicky91]

congrats City with the title

[Crimson Dynamo]

2-2
2-2
3-3

title lost

[Nicky91]

another manager to be sacked then

imagine drawing to a amateur team southampton :laugh2:

[Mystic Mock]

Man City having to play Brentford on the last game of the season could be a nasty challenge for them.

Basically I agree with you.:laugh:

[joeysteele]

Sadly I think Man City will now get the title.

[bots]

i think it will end up going to the last day again

[Mystic Mock]

Sadly I think Man City will now get the title.

It wouldn't surprise me at this rate Joey.

Especially if Arsenal can't win a game if their lives depend on it as the current form suggests.
