OmegaGene · 14-05-2023 01:41PM

2 goals in 2 minutes for city jesus

Loafing Oaf · 14-05-2023 01:43PM

So which game is going to end up more one-sided, City-Everton or Dublin-Louth?

Both - 2 very comfortable winners.

Can't see city winning 4/5/6. Think they will take off haaland, rodri, walker maybe after 60minutes and try see the game out

flazio · 14-05-2023 02:13PM

That wall should have jumped better.

eigrod · 14-05-2023 02:38PM

Pickford smacks Haaland in the head, nowhere near the ball. Carry on. Officiating in this league is a farce.

SlickRic · 14-05-2023 03:23PM

There's been no jeopardy with this league title since City's win at Arsenal.

That's when everyone should've twigged that it was over.

Arsenal still had the advantage, but we all could see. Arsenal have done decently while bringing a knife to a gunfight, but they were always being obliterated once that game was over. The psychology of feeling how inferior they really were to this juggernaut was too much.

Remember City have done this while often playing multiple games a week, while Arsenal have been out of the cups.

Bluebb993 · 14-05-2023 03:38PM

Between pickford pushing haaland in the head and martinelli shoulder barge on mitoma there that's 2 terrible decisions from refs today

martyos121 · 14-05-2023 03:38PM

Only 7 minutes in at the Emirates and we already have another contender for the worst refereeing performance of the season.

CSF · 14-05-2023 03:40PM

Standard of refereeing plummets by the week.

eigrod · 14-05-2023 03:41PM

Officiating is at its most inconsistent level ever. It’s a shambles.

SlickRic · 14-05-2023 04:00PM

Not sure how Gilmour hasn't been booked yet.

Nobody can compete with City ultimately.

The Premier League is gearing up to be City v Newcastle for the title every season at this stage.

It's up to the Premier League to make a statement with the charges they're looking to bring against City but it's hard to see anything coming of that either. City have gotten away with everything at every level of football, FFP was made a mockery of by City and you'd have to expect them to get away with the charges being taken by the Premier League as well.

Best league in the world seems a stretch when there's currently only one club that can be seen as genuine title contenders every season.

Linesman putting up the flag for offside from a throw. Woeful

fullstop · 14-05-2023 04:21PM

Gabriel struggling with Ferguson’s physicality and on a yellow already, could see him getting another.

Cool story.

Except you're wrong. He isn't on a yellow.

Oops my bad 🫢 heard Tyler say he could get a yellow and thought he gave it during the replay.

I've said this countless times - Liverpool needed 2 perfect seasons to get one title off these cheats.

ShamoBuc · 14-05-2023 04:56PM

Arteta booked again for his sideline antics.

Arsenals best season in 19 years wasn't enough to keep them in contention beyond April.

Looking ahead to next season it's hard to look beyond City for the title.

Arsenal will need to do serious business in the transfer market, Liverpool are probably getting back into the top four but a title tilt probably isn't realistic, Chelsea are in a very odd place, United might push up to third at best, Spurs are Spurs, the only club on an upward trajectory are Newcastle.

As you said any club challenging City need to be at their very best and make absolutely no mistakes just to compete.

We'd all love to see some natural justice handed to City but they're probably just going to continue to get away with it and cheat their way to more and more success.

Salty enough from Arsenal knocking it out for a throw in the corner there when Brighton were in comfortable possession before it was knocked out for the injuries.

ShamoBuc · 14-05-2023 05:18PM

Comically bad by ArsenaL.

SlickRic · 14-05-2023 05:18PM

Brighton have been as unreal as Arsenal have been appalling.

y0ssar1an22 · 14-05-2023 05:20PM

at least can sky can now stop their race for the title shite which was nonsense for the last couple of weeks

However, them complaining about 8 minutes injury time after their antics this half is hilarious.

ctrl-alt-delete · 14-05-2023 05:26PM

3-0 salt in the wounds and icing on the cake.

fullstop · 14-05-2023 05:27PM

No more than Brighton deserved. They’ve toyed with Arsenal for the 2nd half.

ShamoBuc · 14-05-2023 05:28PM

Fully deserved 3rd goal - very good from Brighton, Arsenal's season has run out of gas.
