Roughhouse tactics from both Everton and Villa !!

Coleman just hacked down the Villa wide man and left the guy in agony .. Coleman screams ‘ never touched him’ .. replays show clear contact on his shin below the shin pad

The poor guy gets up and hobbles off to booos from the Everton crowd !!

Remember, the ONLY time Arsenal EVER won anything was when they had leaders who smashed the fcuk out of opponents. They were strong, rough, and others feared them. Now they're like fairies who can't win anything, ever.

He needs to get out of there pronto

He could do with having a fabulous second half if he lasts that long .. and get a hattrick..
Sadly there is no creativity to help him

Brentford are absolutely dire

That was the worst piece of defending I’ve ever seen .. his first clearance was an awful miskick then it bounced back to him and he miskicked again high and back into his own box .. seconds later he turned his back one shot which flew into the net !

Manchester United striker Anthony Martial will be sidelined for around 10 weeks following "successful" groin surgery, the club have confirmed.

The 28-year-old has not featured for United since the 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on 9 December.

The injury rules Martial out until April, with the Frenchman's United contract due to expire in the summer.

it happens with so many players, they move to top teams with sky high expectations, and then we never hear from them again. There are so many variables that make a player a success. That's why Ronaldo will always be at the top of the pile, because he did it wherever he played. I can't stand him now, but his level of success cannot be denied

Footballers to have attracted criticism for reported laughing gas use include Mason Greenwood, Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling, Leon Bailey, Saido Berahino, Alexandre Lacazette, Matteo Guendouzi, Mesut Ozil, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Last year the drug was linked to the death of 29-year-old former Ajax winger Jody Lukoki. According to the BBC, "police reported that Lukoki had died of natural causes – an infection with unknown roots but which had possibly been caused by months of alleged substance abuse, when the so-called laughing gas became anything but funny".

It's crazy to think that Arsenal win actually puts the race for the title back in City's hands. With KDB back and hitting form, and if Haaland comes back goal scoring you'd have to think it'll be City's title yet again.

I'm no Liverpool fan, but i wouldn't be upset if they won in Klopp's last season. I don't want to see Arsenal win it, and Spurs have no chance now which is great.

Then Nørgaard crashed into Jota and fell on his knee .. looks like a dreadful injury.

Nørgaard didn’t even get a yellow today

Weird how we perform against City, not great, but we grind out results against them. Excellent result for Liverpool and Arsenal fans.

Next 7 league games for City

Brentford
Bournemouth

ManU
Liverpool
Brighton
Arsenal
Aston Villa


All that said .. Liverpool and Arsenal also have some tough upcoming matches


Maybe it will all come down to squad strength and injuries

I saw footage of the ref waving a yellow card at him so I presumed it was a second yellow but maybe VAR recommended to change it to a straight red. ?

David Moyes says West Ham have offered him a contract to stay on as manager.

He adds that he will make a decision at the end of the season when his current deal expires.

"I’ve had really good conversations with the owners, with David Sullivan and Karren Brady," he said.

"There’s a contract there for me and I’m the one deciding I want to wait until the end of the season."

Just got back from the the Forest v Liverpool game. Forest are the doziest dopiest club in the Pram Hudson Odoi tries to dribble in his own penalty from a corner in stoppage time. It was virtually the last action of the game. He should have put it on top of the stand but he decided to dribble out and the rest is history. Dopy Dozy football.

I dont think I watched the champions today , i should say hope, cuz Forest matched Liverpool. The game should have been 0-0 or 1-1. Forest had at least two great chances to score. Elanga in particular is one of the most frustrating players to watch A lot of pace and not much else.. Also someone needs to tell him that the goal is in the middle of the pitch and not by the corner flag cuz he has a tendency to run out wide.

Forest could have influenced the title race but they were too dopey to take advantage.

[Swan]

It's crazy to think that Villa (if they hold on against Luton) will be only 3 points off Arsenal!

[GiRTh]

What's that got to do with the bleeding price of cheese. You could have said Villa are five points clear of Spurs but you chose, for some reason, to comment on Arsenal. :shrug:

Well, they won in the end.OK if your say so but I'm not sure. Villa are still very unlikely to finish in third - unless Arsenal bottle ik like you hope - so why the comparison. The race to 4th in genuinely a race. Trust me, Villa are not in the race for. third We win our game in hand and we go six point above them. That's not a race. .

[GiRTh]

And Arsenal have Villa at home soon. Six points ahead in March and its not Man City or Liverpool who are capable of going on a 10 plus game winning run . I'm confident Arsenal and Villa are not fighting for the same league position

I dislike Spurs a lot more Arsenal, and i don't care about where Villa finish. Im just saying, it's great for Villa being only 3 points off 3rd/Arsenal.

But yeah, Arsenal are prone to bottling like Spurs, so will be interesting to see. And before yous say "oh well Chelsea are sh!t" i know they are, i know they're awful and pathetic atm.

That's the narrative that everyone wants to follow but getting beaten by a team that went on to win the treble is hardy bottling. I would agree that when Arsenal knew they couldn't win the league the performances dropped off considerably but losing to Man City is no disgrace

I think Arsenal are stronger this year. The only time I would say Arsenal have underperformed in the league were against Newcastle and Fulham. Arsenal should have beaten West Ham in December and had much the better chances. Arsenal kept Liverpool to .,98XG at Anfield and no scouse fan is gonna tell me they were the better team on the day and we beat them 3-1 at the Emirates and again no scouse fan is even gonna attempt to tell me they were in that game. We had to score their goal for them they toothless upfront. We've beaten Man City and Man Utd too.

I see a team that may be hardened from the experience of last year. I hope but there is a lot of football to play

Exactly !!

It’s absolute bollox to refer to Arsenal as bottlers for losing the league to a team who went onto win 4 ( or 5 ) trophies and is one of the best teams ever seen .. shame they bought their success .. and broke 115 rules along the way

The same happened in Scotland for years, celtic were given extra minutes at the end to find a goal. Just because other teams have had a favourable hand from the referee doesn't make it right.

This is why the bloke frustrates me so much, his bias for his teams being great, at all times, and every other team not being great, ever, is just so tiresome!

I mean, only better (arguably) English player than Foden in the world atm, this season, is Bellingham. But of course because Foden plays for City, and not Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool he's unimpressive and overrated.

Ive explained my thinking and even shown the five results ( against duff teams ) in the period I was referring to

Cant do more than that .. sorry

I don’t think they are as impressive as past seasons. ..

They have been without Grealish for a while who was fantastic last season , they sold Mahrez , Gundogan and even an emergent Palmner and brought in Doku who flatters to deceive .

It's what champions do! Look at Utd under Fergie, they were very impressive at times, but others not so much, yet they grind out the results. It's something i think Liverpool have now too, a lot of the time they play well, but even when they're not impressive now they get results. Chelsea did it when they were actually decent. I mean hell, under Jose in his first two seasons we would go 2-0 up and pretty much shut up shop, it wasn't always fun to watch, but we were successful.
