    That ship has sailed.

    I'm still shocked by Newcastle and their push up the table. They're every bit as involved in the title race as the rest of the top four which is a bit sobeeing considering where they could be in a few years time once the blood money really starts to become a bigger part of the equation.

    That’s just unforgivable from Lloris, he’s been finished as a top level Gk for a long time now

    Very strange from the the Sky Sports commentator there, took him about 5 seconds to react to the fact Arsenal had just scored.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,869 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Spurs all over the shop at the back.


    Lovely pass from Sessegnon to play in Son earlier.

    Another easy three points for Arsenal, Spurs reaching a new level of doing a Spurs, chucking them into their own net.

    They are going to win many a trophy, it’s just strange how quickly that it’s all been forgotten. It’s also strange that the head of the premier league left after the purchase was allowed.

    The bias here is anyone claiming what happens yesterday is a normal interpretation of the rule or one which has been interpreted similarly previously.

    Salah's goal against Wolves shouldn't stand imo and loads of pool fans said it. This isn't actually a it's thing, christ I've spent the last five years praying for utd to get results against City, it's just not an intpretation of the rule any of us want to see again.

    Rocket of a shot, Spurs saved by the post.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,805 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    That's some strike from Partey. Off the top right upright. Lloris had no chance. Arsenal could and should be 3 or 4 up. Spurs had 1 good chance themselves.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Some hit that from Partey, would have been contender for goal of the season.

    Spurs are all over the place , second Arsenal goal seems imminent

    It seems Carlito believed his career was winding down. He kinda thought Perez was joking when he mentioned coming back to Real.

    I think himself and Benitez were also fooled a little into thinking there was a "grand project" growing at Everton. I could be wrong on that.

    Most of the complaints here are not that the way the rules being reffed now is wrong they were saying it is clear offside which it isn't given how they are reffing it.

    Most fans I would say think it's stupid and that's what people should be complaining about.



  • Posts: 14,734 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I think Newcastle will struggle more this half of the season, all teams have to take hem seriously and even the less talented teams will setup more to frustrate them and I'm not sure they have the creativity in the team to deal with that.

    But lecister have shown you can make it happen, when teams adjusted to them, they kept grinding out wins somehow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,033 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    I also can't believe Newcastle's progress, blood money aside, with that team. Definitely feels to be performing at a level grater than the sum of its parts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,805 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Now Arsenal ARE 2-0 up. Odegaard with an excellent strike. Spurs can have no complaints.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,869 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Odegaard could well be POTY.

    He's having a brilliant season.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    A deserved 2-0 lead. Only one team playing football.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 4,710 Mod ✭✭✭✭TherapyBoy


    Real problem Newcastle have at the moment is there is no depth to the squad at all. The football played by the team selected for the recent FA Cup game shows how big the jump is between the first 11 & the players who are backing them up. A couple of unfortunate injuries could see us fall off a cliff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,920 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    This is destruction.

    Arsenal. I applaud you.

    Blend of youth and experience. Back your coach in the market. Trust him. Listen to the players.

    An example of how its done.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Sessegnon will probably be dragged at ht, Perisic should be on.

    Commentators creaming themselves hoping for a penalty. 😂😂😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,805 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Hojbjerg should have been booked for that pathetic dive. He was trying to con a penalty.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Commentator didn't know that the first goal was scored and didn't know it was ht



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 437 ✭✭TipsyMcStagge


    I wonder will Arteta be asked about playing Partey after the game?

    Gary Neville really does hate Arsenal.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Spurs beginning to play and create a few chances but you can see them conceeding on the break next.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 437 ✭✭TipsyMcStagge


    Arsenal so far ahead of spurs all over the park. If Arsenal beat Man Utd next week that'll be all she wrote

    Neville's whimpering noises do my head in.
