If they do it will most likely come down to city dropping points along the way… like I wouldn’t be surprised if Chelsea got something against city and Arsenal drop points here

115 win a 9th Premier League? I can’t understand some of you. I’m here genuinely desperate for Arsenal to win the league.
Michael Oliver to the rescue
He should be sacked for turning them into an expensively assembled Stoke City, IMO. I’m convinced he had built an exciting team just a couple of years ago but somehow maybe losing out on the league title broke somewhat broke him and he went all Lego Pulis.
Ref desperate to give that.
Nooo way that's ball to hand surely??
Arsenal given a penalty.
Of course Oliver gives a pen
Correct decision that.
Cheating City and Pep winning another title is meaningless to me. It happens and then I forget about it the next day. Arsenal and their fans would be insufferable for years.
They also are just the biggest shithouse cnuty team I’ve ever seen to potentially win the title.
It's a pretty stonewall penalty to be fair
1-1
1-1.
What a joke.
Oliver couldn’t wait to give every contact in favour of Arsenal and this handball is an absolute joke.
Attackers should just start smashing it into arms to get penalties

I swear defenders should just cut their arms off or strap them to their sides while playing.
Great pen under pressure, just smash it in.
Such a tough pen. Harsh, but a pen by the law.
His arm was at or above shoulder height
Oliver who didn't give the Romero handball against us?
This is how it should be. None of City's titles past or future mean jack shit. Of course it renders the league pretty pointless most seasons but still, we have fun.
Come on, Zed. It was a penalty.
"I know we have title to win but let me have a moment for my brand with my wank celebration."
Christ, he's a twat.
Christ, he's a twat.
Still annoys me to this day. Beginning of the end for ETH.
Let's go Arsenal!
Skelly is having a brilliant game.
Ugh, so jammy. Come on Bournemouth.
Gabriel just smashed it into the stands and the defender was just in front of him.
Those handball rules are absolute garbage honestly and completely not in line with the spirit of the law, same as offside
He's 2/3 yards away when the ball was smacked at him. To try and block like that your arm goes up. It's ridiculous to give that. Oliver has been giving Arsenal all the little soft contacts leading up to that, too.
I want to see another replay of that handball, TNT only showed it once
Bournemouth need to keep their heads though they've been the better team so far
They'll show it at HT
How many handballs like that won't result in a penalty this weekend I wonder.
Ugh these shit Arsenal/Spanish tactics of throwing themselves to the floor now are horrible.
No it’s not, he clearly goes to love his arm away from the ball, it was hit at him with pace and he moved his arm out of the way. I GUARANTEE, tha would not be given for us.
Iraola always reminds me of Dr Octopus from the first Spiderman movies
I thought there was a new rule not to give those as pens when the defender was too close
Ye that’s true… but there are also many teams in the league that are copying his tactics. If you notice most prem games this season are relying a lot more on set piece goals… whether from throw ins or corners or even free kicks. I feel like the attacking football and end to end games are long gone.
I don't think you've seen or heard the last of Michael Oliver in this game yet
