i've actually enjoyed the way arsenal have been playing and the game against Man U was a belter, but they do seem to have gone off the boil a little since that game, but then Man City haven't been particularly good recently, so, who knows :laugh:

Even I've got to say that Grealish should be heavily punished for that dive today against Aston Villa.
Honestly cheating on that kinda level needs to be removed from the game.
It makes me wonder if the Referee was taking the same stuff that Wilton Pereira Sampaio was taking.:joker:
But seriously if Grealish was not English our Media would be giving him the same treatment that Drogba received for his diving.
Crazy that Arsenal lose more points from yet another reffing/VAR error !!
The PGMOL have admitted that it was 'human error' which lead to VAR not fully investigating an offside call for Brentford's equaliser against Arsenal.

dodgy decisions are part of the game and always have beenPGMOL have twice apologised to Arsenal for poor VAR decisions this season. No other team has two apologies.
The other one was Arsenals opening goal at Old Trafford wrongly overturned by the same Lee Mason.
Yes there are dodgy decisions in football but this is more like gross incompetence. How does he forget to draw the offside lines? Has he been trained properly. You have to wonder.
Arsenal weren't quite 'at it' yesterday. Not the team of the first 19 games but full credit to Brentford, they probably had the better of the chances. Top teams grind out results even when they're not playing well. Without the intervention of Lee Mason that would have been the headline today. Its difficult to not feel aggrieved

Also, arsenal lost 13 games in the 21 to 22 seasons. I'd say, in only one of those defeats the ref played a part. It was, ironically, Man City on New years day 2022. There was a Xhaka penalty on Bernardo Silva. I say Silva was already on the way down when Xhaka grabbed his jersey. This year I'm looking at the ref in this and the Old Trafford game.
EDIT: Add Dan Burn throwing big Gabby to the ground against Newcastle. Three games so far where the ref played a part.

i don't see the point of VAR at the moment. It destroys the flow of the game and gets too many decisions wrong. The original VAR had a small team of people looking at the footage and making decisions, these days they have one guy. They are basically doing it on the cheap. If there was a small team looking at it, there would be much less chance of error and it's not as though the premier league can't afford it

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte will miss Sunday's Premier League game against West Ham and not return to work until he has made an "entire recovery" from surgery to remove his gallbladder.
The 53-year-old had the operation in Italy two weeks ago.
But Conte was back last week before the 4-1 defeat at Leicester and in the dugout for Tuesday's Champions League loss at AC Milan.
In an Instagram post, the Italian said he had "underestimated the procedure".
Conte went on to explain that his "great sense of responsibility towards the club, the players, the staff and the fans" had seen him return too early.
"Sadly, I underestimated the procedure, which wasn't a routine operation, but a sudden and serious emergency," he added.
"My body has suffered my impatience, and now I am forced to stop until my entire recovery.
"Who knows me, understands what a burden this is for me, but it is necessary."
Tottenham have not said when they expect Conte to return to his duties, with matches against Chelsea on Sunday, 26 February (13:30 GMT) and a trip to Sheffield United in the fifth round of the FA Cup (1 March, 19:55 GMT) on the horizon, after hosting the Hammers (16:30 GMT).
"Health is the most important consideration," Tottenham said on Thursday.
"Following a routine post-operation check in Italy yesterday, Antonio Conte will remain at his family home to recover from his recent surgery," Spurs added.
"Everyone at the club wishes him well. Cristian Stellini will assume first-team duties."

Qatar bid in for man u

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad bin Jaber Al Thani, the chairman of one of Qatar's biggest banks, has confirmed a bid to buy Manchester United.
The move comes ahead of Friday's 22:00 GMT 'soft deadline' for submitting proposals.
Trossard starts
Martinelli has been poor since the restart after the WC, im not surprised Trossard is starting over him.
Poor defending and keeping tbh
The refs these days are either incompetent or just simply corrupt
In the space of five seconds Ings kicked Odegard then Coutinho kicked Saka and then Saka gets booked ..
Then near the end of the half the ref let Martinez waste about 45 seconds before kicking it long and then the ref just blew for far time !!!
Why no booking .. why not at least add on the 45 seconds he just wasted deliberately

Graham Potter still has the support of Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and the club's board despite their poor run of form.
The Blues have won just two of their past 14 games in all competitions and were beaten 1-0 by Premier League strugglers Southampton on Saturday.
Potter was appointed in September following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
However, Chelsea's owners have made it clear that hiring Potter was part of a long-term project.
It is felt the team needs an opportunity to gel after a rebuild that has seen £583m spent on new players in the past two transfer windows, with eight new signings arriving in January alone.
It is also recognised the unprecedented injury crisis has also contributed to difficult circumstances for Potter.
----------------------------------------
So that means he will be gone in a couple of weeks :laugh:
West Ham boss David Moyes still has the full support of the club despite his team dropping into the Premier League relegation zone over the weekend.
Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham left Moyes' side in 18th place in the table.
It has raised questions over the Scot's future, with some suggestions he could be sacked if West Ham lose Saturday's home game with Nottingham Forest.
BBC Sport has been told the situation is not as clear-cut as that and Moyes retains the board's 100% backing.
It is acknowledged how much good work Moyes has done since he returned for a second spell as manager in December 2019, guiding them clear of relegation trouble before taking them into Europe through their league position in successive seasons for the first time in the club's history.
Moyes knows that West Ham's current position is not what was expected after an unprecedented summer transfer spend, even though the squad has been badly hit by injuries.
However, West Ham will learn their last-16 opponents in the Europa Conference League on Friday and next week face Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round.
And the belief is, with 15 games to go, Moyes can still turn the current league situation around.
Moyes' first spell as Hammers boss ran between November 2017 and May 2018, when he was not offered a new contract.

Just seen the disallowed Trossard goal. What the hell was wrong with it? When the ball is played out after the corner, what phase are we in? are we still in the first phase of the corner? I disagree. The keeper was pretty much standing on his own when Trossard shot. What the hell does something that happened 5 seconds ago matter?
Var needs a big review
var is very hit or miss, but when white grabbed the keepers arm, that can't be allowed

var is very hit or miss, but when white grabbed the keepers arm, that can't be allowedI get that but my questions is what phase of play are we in? If we're in the first phase of the corner I'd disagree. When the ball is played out what happened a few seconds ago doesn't matter. Soon we'll be disallowing goals for something that happened on the other side of pitch and had nothing to do with the play.
As soon as the refs go the monitor its certain the decision will be overturned. Live at full speed no one would have disallowed that goal and if it had stood with the videos we're seeing, I still think most people would have allowed the goal

I was amazed that the ref let Bernardo Silva kick Sacka up in the air FOUR times before finally booking him

In the instance i am referring to the keeper was being held while he was in the process of jumping to save the shot, i dont know how more active the phase can be :laugh:

I saw that and it was a foul on the keeper but you see three or four similar offences at every free kick or corner .. nothing is ever done .. until yesterday
If you watch today every defender will be shadowing and holding their ‘man’ and not even watching the ball

I like Potter and it would be nice to see him doing well again and turning Chelsea into a team good to watch playing nice football
Although Koulabaly is always a liability

because ben white stopped the keeper from saving the blinking shot, the goal should obviously be disallowed and i have no idea why anyone is trying to say it's ok, other than the fact it affected the team they support :laugh:

Fair enough but then they should be giving fouls / penalties at every corner and free kick then ..

var rules automatically change when a goal has been scored. It was the same at the world cup. The moment a goal has been scored any relevant infringement on the leadup to that goal can mean the goal is disallowed. If there is no goal, the refs don't care about infringements, they have been told not to penalise so many fouls and let the game flow. Anything in the penalty area gets special var attention
I don't know whats so difficult to understand about it all

It’s not a case of understanding a lot of what goes on - it’s just that I don’t agree with what’s happening -l
The majority want to see the best /flair players showing their talent .. and teams like Arsenal being allowed to play beautiful football..
Currently they are letting thuggish players like Dier , Romero, Koulabaly just kick through players at their will with no punishment or bookings

So a frustrated flair player Ziyech reacts and gets sent off .. with Dier and Romero demanding he’s sent off - completely balmy
At the same time missing that Lenglet’s earlier push on Ziyech was worse but unpunished

The commentary on the NBC are adamant that was a red card, would have been soft imo. Especially as Ziyech was smashed in the back. And Richarlison has been smashing into players all game.
Yellow was correct, not even being bias.

Well i know we disagree on leniency as i don't mind the physical side of the game. But had Zyeich been sent off for that then Langlet should have been sent off too. And Richarlison has already got away with at least 2 yellow card offences.
Thiago Silva was kinda lucky too earlier in the game tbf, he deliberately tried to elbow matey.
Chelsea need to get Sterling and Loftus Cheek off pronto

Chelsea just never look like a threat, they're terrible going forward. If Chelsea hadn't accumulated points in the first half of the season they'd legitimately be in a relegation battle now.

And the opposition know that so they never give him a second on the ball.
Funny you say about Sterling, i remember having a row with about 6 other Chelsea fans about how Sterling is a below average player. I said he'd be a flop, and that he only had good seasons with world class players around him.
I was told i was being ridiculous, and that he's just the type of player we needed. Well, he's so bad he would struggle to get into a league One team.

I’ve never rated him as a player when some were claiming he was world class ..

People hate Chelsea, they're happy about their downfall, so it's not mentioned. The commentary on USA didn't even acknowledge it
the moment the board said they had full confidence in potter, it was obvious he was within a couple of matches of the sack
I've never seen a Chelsea team play so poor as they have done the 2nd half of this season. Even with the first Jose era, yeah we didn't always play exciting football, but we got the job done, and comfortably. We literally never look like a threat going forward. We've brought too many unproven players. People like Mount are 1 in 10 good game players. Our defence has no organisation, Midfield is weak and all of the place. And we're awful going forward. We've tried to throw money at the problem, and that's not working, i feel now we need to get rid of Potter. Bring someone in who will stick with a starting 11, and just hope by the start of next season the players have had time to gel, and things pick up.
This season is a total loss. I remember in 2012, we were poor domestically, yet we had fight and went on to win the CL and FA Cup. No way are we pulling off a CL win this season. No fight, no real passion, and the quality is at an all time low.
Getting rid of Tuchel was an awful decision too.
How did Potter have BRIGHTON playing so well though ?!?
Why play out of form players who are also lacking confidence ??

No fear, young unknowns looking to make a name for themselves. And ultimately no pressure. I like Potter, i think he's a nice guy, but too much too soon. Brighton's main goal is staying in the PL. And good luck to them, ironically it's by far the easiest PL Stadium for me to get to. Not the distance, but the drive is easy. I know a few Brighton fans. Im happy they've done so well. But Potter had it easy there. Chelsea are ruthless and expect trophies. It was just too big a step for him.
he also has a bigger squad of highly talented, highly paid players, its a completely different dynamic.
Look at Man U with Pogba and Ronaldo, with a standard manager, they destroyed the dressing room, it needed a manager like Ten Hag who doesn't mess about to sort the problem out

In the instance i am referring to the keeper was being held while he was in the process of jumping to save the shot, i dont know how more active the phase can be :laugh:Jumping for the weak punch out, yes Benny Blanco is holding the keepers arm. Not when trying to save the Trossard shot though. The keeper was standing still on his own.
My argument, is the corner phase has ended and we were in a new phase. Can we have the following scenarios - Corner taken, headed out, crossed back in, headed out, crossed back in, headed out, shoot score. Do we go back to original corner to see if there is a foul? Surely not. In this instance, if the keeper had stayed on the ground Trossard shoots etc. Now I agree, the goal should be disallowed but not for a hand on the arm that happened ages before the ball was in the back of the net.
Interesting as Paul Merson mentioned, the refs dont see a clear pull down of Saka but they can see a hand on the keepers arm from a corner..

I felt that Newcastle could give City problems but they’ve started Wilson ahead of Isak who’s been far more effective of late
I don’t see the point of Wilson tbh He’s very rarely fit to play even then he doesn’t link up play , doesn’t press the ball , isn’t fast enough to be a nuisance as just shown in that loose ball in the box
He will prob score the winner now … hopefully :)
