Haha.  Fuck off Arsenal and enjoy your hollow victory Man City.  Been a good day.

Brilliant weekend of football!

Incredible weekend. Only bettered if Liverpool didn't get that late winner.

As for Arsenal, it really says something about how awful they have become in the social media era to have evrybody rooting for such an odious club as Man C155y

1 win in their last 6 for Arsenal.

And I still haven't forgiven RCF for that. ☹️

It's probably the smoke from another synagogue arson attack. :(

New Wenger offside rule being tested in the Canadian Premier League. Would be offside today but the rule requires clear daylight for the player to be off.

I hate it.

Do you hate it as much as Arsenal Wenger appears to hate football in general?

I've got something important to add to this - fuck Arsene Wenger. Move the line where you want, there is still a line, and that's before you get in to teams sitting deeper.

Haha head lost. This is why Arsenal losing it and not Arsenal winning it so important. The attention seeking meltdowns would be in equal measure how they would celebrate if they won the league.

Forget this game, Gabriel getting a red for violent conduct could have seriously damaged their title hopes due to the suspension. I have seen that red given so many times.

How that wasn’t a red is a really terrible decision. The VAR team absolutely bottled that. At minimum send the ref to the monitor. It’s why players go down easily to sway decisions. Haaland shouldn’t have had go to ground clutching his face for it to be reviewed.

Apparently, Arteta has lost 13 games in April as Arsenal manager. Seems like a lot if you want to win titles.

The Bhoys now winning 6-2. That should be enough to see MON's Celtic in another final.

His last ever game as a manager (surely) and it’ll be Lennon in the other dug-out.

Rangers fans will be phoning Trump on May 23rd to tell him there's an IRGC base at Hampden.

If they really want to bump them off they should phone the IDF and tell them there’s a children’s hospital and a few journalists there.

Can it be reviewed, post game, if a yellow is given? 

I’ve a vague recollection that it cannot be re-opened because the yellow means the ref is deemed have seen the incident.

It’s an idiotic idea, that with even a few moments thought doesn’t work.
