I despise Derby days but I'd million % draw them cheating vile bastards! The dates seem to not cause too much congestion so we'd play our top XI. The problem will come if we draw them in later rounds when(if?) We've got CL games to contend with. But saying all that, I'd much sooner draw West Ham ;-) Burnley at home would be immense.
They’ve become more silly signal than the likes of trump at this point.A City fan on Blue Moon actually calling us cheats, you couldnt make it up
This is brilliant. And totally accurate.Just noticed this on the Bristol City forum
Can't use the 'cup draw was fixed with United getting a home tie' as they got a home tie (against another Championship team)What will their excuse for us winning be tonight? We didn't get assistance from VAR.
Correct !They should be getting called out by every set of fans in the country.
Forget about the rags, if we play to the best of our ability no team can live with us .. We are doing the treble, everyone has written us off but it’s gonna be our year .. Again..
Just watched the highlights of their match against West Ham.
That game has match-fixing written all over it.
Looked like WWE choreography from the hammers players.
I watched the game, 3 very unusual goals.
How often does a defender head straight into his goal from a corner when it doesn't look that difficult a header to make?
The 2nd the angle shown from behind the goal was criminal. The keeper puts his hand out, it looks inches away from the ball, then he pulls his hand away, doesn't even dive either.
The 3rd is just comical defending at best, but put on a plate.
All in all, 3 very strange goals for a PL team to concede in one half of football.
Didn't watch the game but saw the highlights. The goalkeepers actions looked really odd. Plus the OG was weird too. The Shits did have a goal ruled out by VAR though. That was unusual too. The Shits are normally given them.
The tears....I encourage everyone to watch the highlights and see how strange the behaviour was from the hammers players (keepers and defenders) for all of United’s goals and even their attackers for some of their own chances to score more to put the match away (some of the decision making was baffling).
I am not sure of the cause—perhaps West Ham didn’t want to continue in the cup so made sure they didn’t—but everything about that match is very suspect.
Match was fixed weren't it...
The tears....
They will still be playing in an hour
Nearly there!
5 minutes of the 6 was for Arsenal players whinging to the ref!
Arsenal - Bournemouth at 3-2I've not seen such constant appealing, since Bob Geldof at Live Aid
Just feck off. Lets play till they score
That is sickening.
The game was supposed to continue till they win
That is feckING EMBARRASSING from BT.
The whole fecking studio arms in the air when that went is.
Absolute THUNDERCUNTS!!!
Keep playing until they score,feck me, they arent even trying to hide it anymore
It’s like Fergie time all over again.
Utterly fecking corrupt
Too be honest I kind of felt the same after watching that 3rd goal go in.Arsenal - Bournemouth at 2-2 in stoppage time
Arsenal - Bournemouth at 3-2
The sooner we move to rugby's approach with a stopped clock the better. Have 35 minute halves and the amount of play will increase.Bournemouth shithoused about 3 minutes of the added 5 initially. I'm glad the ref added more. I wish it was like the WC. However not all refs will enforce it and there lies the problem.
Isn't that what happened in the WC? Every game had like 8-12 minutes added.The sooner we move to rugby's approach with a stopped clock the better. Have 35 minute halves and the amount of play will increase.
Yeah, this is infuriating. We shouldn't be relying on refs to keep time any more.I've seen a few refs whistle 10-20 seconds before the end for us while drawing.
What annoys me is one ref will add on the seconds wasted in injury time, one won't, another will add on even more until the move ends and then allows the other team to respond well past any total measure.
Not formally. That involved a more realistic interpretation to stoppage time.Isn't that what happened in the WC? Every game had like 8-12 minutes added.
Well they are fecking stupid then like VillaBournemouth shithoused about 3 minutes of the added 5 initially. I'm glad the ref added more. I wish it was like the WC. However not all refs will enforce it and there lies the problem.
I agree with most of what they said,particularly those bits about the BT studio celebrating like a bunch of kids which is patheticArsenal - Bournemouth at 2-2 in stoppage time
Arsenal - Bournemouth at 3-2
It was daft to be honest, the ref seemed to be content to let them play until they scored. 1 minute and 20 seconds more than the stoppage time. As soon as they scored he blew the whistle for full time. Disgraceful.Didn’t watch the game, are the bitters justified in their furor or was the proper amount of time actually added?
When a club that exists as it is only because of money is caught breaking financial rules then behaves like it’s a victim, you’ll forgive people for momentarily abandoning their objectivity. I hope they show that studio celebration on repeat.I agree with most of what they said,particularly those bits about the BT studio celebrating like a bunch of kids which is pathetic
Oh yeah it's a complete set up for ArsenalIt was daft to be honest, the ref seemed to be content to let them play until they scored. 1 minute and 20 seconds more than the stoppage time. As soon as they scored he blew the whistle for full time. Disgraceful.
Yeah exactly and that is why City winning means nothing compared to ArsenalWhen a club that exists as it is only because of money is caught breaking financial rules then behaves like it’s a victim, you’ll forgive people for momentarily abandoning their objectivity. I hope they show that studio celebration on repeat.
Here lies the problem, each ref has a different interpretation of the rules and it results in a chaotic series of games where the rules are different depending on which ref you get. It's 2023, rules should be clear with no wriggle room.I've seen a few refs whistle 10-20 seconds before the end for us while drawing.
What annoys me is one ref will add on the seconds wasted in injury time, one won't, another will add on even more until the move ends and then allows the other team to respond well past any total measure.
Despite the name on the badge, Arsenal are a Cinderella story the neutrals will always root for over the established power. The PL has had a true surprise winner only twice before this season I think. Happens once in a…Yeah exactly and that is why City winning means nothing compared to Arsenal
Who were the pundits at BT?I agree with most of what they said,particularly those bits about the BT studio celebrating like a bunch of kids which is pathetic
That game in particular seemed like it was only going one way and the ref wanted it. It's like they're trying to make up for the Brentford VAR feck up now.Oh yeah it's a complete set up for Arsenal
The usual BT gang, Rio, etcWho were the pundits at BT?
There were 4 or 5 Bournemouth handballs in the box looked at by VAR. If the ref was desperate to give us a win, why wouldn't he just give us a pen for one of those? Wouldn't that be much simpler than adding on extra time and hoping we scored?That game in particular seemed like it was only going one way and the ref wanted it.

Ever since Arteta moaned about that Brentford goal you have had a ridiculous amount of luck and it's sickening to say the leastThere were 4 or 5 Bournemouth handballs in the box looked at by VAR. If the ref was desperate to give us a win, why wouldn't he just give us a pen for one of those? Wouldn't that be much simpler than adding on extra time and hoping we scored?
What a bizarre theory
So you think that the added time on added time on added time was justified? And I’m sure you’re content the ref blew up the second after kick off? Do you think it would have been justified if Bournemouth would have scored that goal well after the game was supposed to be over?There were 4 or 5 Bournemouth handballs in the box looked at by VAR.
