    It's a foul. Circumstances & what it means for both clubs make it dramatic

    However........VAR is so shit.  It shouldn't take that long  to make a decision

    Deffo a foul, but how many fouls have Arsenal got away in the area this year with their style of’play?

    This. If it takes numerous views and five minutes it isn’t a clear and obvious error for me. Should be three looks, thirty seconds max and if you can’t decide then go with the onfield decision.
    I don’t think the ref had a clear view of it, every goal is checked for any fouls, and I just don’t think refs can see everything in a penalty area. So seems a good decision 
    I don’t disagree but why did it take five minutes if it was that obvious a foul?

    Massive call, get it right, loads of moving parts, just not that simple

    Yep, even at that very moment two of their players were bear hugging West Ham players.

    It was definitely a foul on Raya, the West Ham guy was basically holding his arm. VAR has ultimately decided a title race there though because Arsenal will easily win both their last 2 games.
    It ain't just decided the title race, it's more than likely sent West Ham down
    So all the other games they played had nothing to do with it.

    Of course - we only ever look at the whole season. Big, controversial, season-defining decisions like this are never part of the conversation, are they?

    As soon as i saw the first replay with his arm right across Raya i thought "there's no way they're giving this goal". I'm not sure why it then needed another 5 minutes and being referred to the ref to make the decision, when realistically VAR could've made the call immediately.

    I guess because of what it meant at the top and bottom of the table they wanted to be 100% sure, but they really didn't need 5 minutes or so to decide.

    Don't care how much people hate Arsenal on here or want Spurs relegated, that was a foul on Raya.
    You’re probably right of course, but VAR has let worse go before. I think that’s what’s so annoying.

    If the foul wasn't on the KEEPER but an outfield player VAR probably wouldn't have disallowed the goal because there was heavy petting taking place in the box with numerous players !

    The pin point Carey corner that Harry Clarke scored at the valley was wrongly disallowed as there was absolutely no foul on the keeper. No VAR in Championship which the majority are happy about so CAFC were robbed of a bona fide goal.

    The interesting thing we'll never know (although I suspect I know the answer) - if the keeper wasn't fouled/it didn't go in, would VAR have given a penalty for the fouls being committed by Rice and Trossard?

    Definitely a foul on Raya. But Rice clearly fouls the bloke he is marking, pulls him back then wraps both arms round his waist. That happens just as the corner is taken so cannot see how it wasn't a penalty.

    Spurs certainly had the luck with how the fixtures have fallen.

    Played Villa when Villa a had European semi final coming up & rested most of their 1st choice 11

    Now playing Leeds who are safe & have nothing to play for.

    West Ham need at least one win now, to prevent the Met Police's biggest nightmare, West Ham vs Millwall at the London Stadium. Good luck segregating the crowds in the Olympic park...

    Far from done yet. Could see Spurs losing both and West Ham would just need 1 win.

    Chelsea usually play better against the bigger teams, rather than the scrappier ones. If there's one game the Chelsea fans will be DESPERATE to win, it's this one.

    Kinsky with save of the season contender. 

    Can see Spurs getting something at Chelsea, espeially with the FA cup on Saturday, can't see West Ham beating Newcastle though
