I do. You’d have to be quite blinkered to ignore all the good work he’s done. Brighton have a massive injury crisis during a season where they’ve sold their midfield and rarely had the first choice forwards available. Currently relative to their previous season, they are missing Caicedo, Macallister, Mitoma, Ferguson, Estupinan from the top of my head. He may be a good manager but you can’t expect all these situations to not have an impact.
What good work has he done, out of curiosity?

Spurs have a defender obstructing White from obstructing the goalie.
It was only a matter of time before blocker blockers became a thing. Next it will be blocker blocker blockers and, before you know it, every single corner will be a ball being blasted at a conga line.

Phew! was expecting Arsenal to feck it up. Worst fixtures out of the way for them now, here's hoping City slip.

Sounds like American football

Spurs really needed to do more after that second goal. Disappointing. Also love Oliver blowing up at 96:04 after at least 45 seconds in added time were wasted.

What might not be obvious to you may be to others, you want decisions to always be correct, offside rule is one of the few that is not controversial, no need to bring subjective to it
If they need to pause it and get the lines out, it’s not obvious in any wild imagination

United minus the Glazers
Just throwing this out there - but I reckon the fact they’ve had Saliba and Gabriel fit the entire season with Rice sitting in front of them may also be a factor. That’s just a hunch though - there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest Arsenal are a far inferior team without Saliba…well apart from their form completely collapsing last year without him. Maybe football isn’t chess and player quality does actually matter then? Who knew.
Fair point but in that case the woeful lack of depth at United comes down to abhorrent player recruitment. And even with injuries, we aren’t fielding a bunch of Sunday league amateurs incapable of being set up to play well against relegation fodder.

I'd prefer Arsenal to win the title, but they do make it hard for neutrals with how they act.

Lots of mistakes in this one on both sides. Glad we are able to take this race at least another week. What on earth was Raya doing there...

Guess the United game is a walkover. :)
Would be just like us to actually show up for once, put on a good defensive display and actually win the game.

Would be interested to see a poll on who would be bothered by Arsenal winning if it meant City losing out on the title and not getting the 4 in a row modern record. Season is over for us anyway so despite the rivalry with Arsenal...I wouldn't exactly be upset with a defeat if it denied City. Probably irrelevant anyway as City will win their remaining games.

Denying City and Liverpool will be priority at this point. For me at least.
