am sure there were probably several outrageous decisions that went Fulham’s way that led to Arsenal’s defeat
Definitely. Also, It started raining and getting in the Arsenal player’s eyes, the pitch was too wet, the ball was too round, they weren’t allowed to make 7 substitutions or have more than 11 players on the pitch at any one time.
The Arsenal annual melt has come surprisingly early.
Given Spurs havent been able to pick a first choice XI all season and we've been decimated since Chelsea, I'll take being 1pt behind and only 4 off top given we'd all written off this season as a transitional season before it had started.
Never known an injury crisis like our current one.
You won't find much sympathy for that on here!
not looking for sympathy, just an observation. It is what it is!

Was thinking i wonder how long it will be before Arteta comes under pressure? He's spent over 600m since joining.
2 years ago they had CL qualification in their hands, they blew it. Last year they had the league in their hands, they blew it. This year he got the keeper he wanted and two midfielders for 170m. They've now got 1 win in 5. The run would be even worse if they hadn't nicked last minute winners at Brentford and Luton.
He's been found out tactically and i feel that teams have learnt how to nullify them yet he doesn't seem to change things. Martinelli plays every game despite being in an awful run of form. Villa, Spurs and Brighton have scored more, the latter 2 despite having lots of injuries.

Yeah sorry mate, was said in jest due to our own luck with injuries
Luton get a slightly controversial late equaliser. 10 of their 24 goals this season have come in the first 75 minutes. The other 14 have come in the last 15 minutes.
Commentators banging on about the linesman raising his flag for the offside to prevent injury to Ederson, but they’re told not too and it was a lot closer than it looked real time.
Really would love to see Foden being played more through the middle for England instead of being stuck out wide.
Problem is you’ve got Bellingham doing it for Madrid in the same spot
Agreed and it won't happen because it will be perceived to be too adventurous but with Rice holding plus Bellingham and Foden switching between making those type of runs and holding with Rice then I just feel they would each be harder to pick up. As opposed to having two rigid holding players with Rice and any one from Henderson/Phillips/TAA/Stones etc. Both Bellingham and Foden are more than intelligent enough footballers to understand their responsibilities. As I say, probably just wishful thinking.

I’d like to see Foden out wide along with Saka, but Foden drifting inside.
I think we might see Gallagher in the middle with Rice, which appears a lot more fluid than the rigid players you mention.
Villa only draw with Everton, now Spurs currently drawing with ManUre. All setting up for Liverpool Vs City for the title now as other start to fall by the wayside
Luton are going to find a jammy way to avoid relegation again arent they
I'd love to see them stay up anyway - But still find it ridiculous how they beat Blackburn with two own goals and a penalty when we got relegated in 2019/20
Oh Gawd. Cue lots of whining scousers filling our screens moaning about wanting justice or some such bollocks - when in fact it's the fans of every other club that's played by the rules that should be demanding the very same.
Still, Everton and Forest are clearly clubs the PL thinks they can bully. All gone a bit quiet on the likes of Man City and Chelsea, hasn't it?!

The Everton fans screaming “corruption” when their club had acknowledged wrongdoing was one of the weirdest things that happened this season.
I think the Man City stuff is being investigated, but given the volume/complexity of the charges it’s going to take a while.

And they let them have the penalty as well
Three great goals.

We also have Palmer to consider as well.
The goal and the sublime pass from KDB have won this game for City.
Fantastic game with 5 crackers.
Just great viewing.
Thats the switch for the City, they do it every year. They’ll win their next 10 now.
