If Arsenal win today and Brentford don't, I win £240.

So:

Arse 1-1.

For someone who doesn’t gamble you sure gamble a lot

Every weekend is just based around the pain of waiting for Arsenal to slip up.

Hope Leeds £#%&! it up

Can see Arsenal winning then City getting their hopes up until getting an injury time winner themselves.

Dont think these two games will be as straight forward as they look on paper.

2 x 4-0 then.

I did say yesterday it's the "Last Man Standing - £10 in the pot" thing.

Agree about Arsenal like. We'll probably do them, won't we?

It’s not nearly as straight forward a fixture for Arsenal as some seem to think.

What’s their record at OT last 10 years, 2 wins with 1 during covid and 1 in the cup?

How’s that not a red card?

Thought the same. Nowhere near the ball and studs up. Red all day for me Clive.

Not even looked at

VAR is pointless. That’s never a pen

Literally dragged his foot onto the keepers leg.

"But there is contact..."

Cos Havertz initiated it ffs.

Worst officials in Europe. They’ve gotta be. Every game there seems to be 2 or 3 howlers

Ashley Young special.

VAR was meant to stop players diving. Instead the red cards that are given, and penalties that are awarded have conditioned players, fans and pundits to accept this as normal.

Then the Virgin at the screen is so obsessed in trying to find 'Contact' they don't take into account any of the other factors that would contribute it to being a foul.

Officiating of the game is a joke.

And tonight's MOTD Ian Wright and Shearer will contradict themselves from last week when "Garnacho was looking for it" and confirm it was clever/100% penalty etc etc.

The Sky Sports predictor guy said a 2-1 win for Bournemouth. It’s apparently a trickier fixture than away to us, because Bournemouth are a better team than us.

Credit to us then for being 6 points clear of them with a game in hand

Co-commentator said as much too:

“Some players are very good at it”

Ah, so it’s a skill when certain players are doing it

That is a £#%&!ing disgraceful decision

That's truly awful. Baffling. It's a penalty to Bournemouth ffs

Arsenal an excellent side. Odegaard is so, so good.
