Look back at the history of our VAR disallowed goals and there's some really fucked up decision making.

As it's got them in the CL final and favourites to win the league maybe we should be taking notes.

We wouldn't get away with it.

Correct. As West Ham found out today. Like everything it’s the inconsistency of officiating that is killing the game.

Either Arsenal or Man City win the League.

It doesn’t really matter, does it?

I suppose it depends how much you want to hear about it. Man City win its old news fast. Their fans won’t even talk about it. If it’s Arsenal we will be reminded ad nauseum across every news and social media outlet. Arsenal fans will be unbearable. More than now if you can imagine it.

This stuff about Arsenal fans being everywhere is bonkers. It's repeated so often as a fact but I never see them on the social media I go on and I'm not even trying to avoid them.

The majority of Arsenal fines are fine, they have a small number of attention seeking twats that are given the attention they crave.

Theres an Arsenal supporter at work, from Yorkshire bizarrely, supported them since she was a kid. She is a lovely person and was a little incredulous that i was gutted they beat Atletico. More because I’m Villa and she wondered why I’d even care.

People I meet here seem pretty keen on Arsenal winning the thing, they seem to regard City as basically illegitimate and aren't put off by the football.

Main reason I don't want Arsenal to win is Arteta is a massive twat and it will be very funny.

I'd say Arsenal are a strong 3rd here in Ireland (after Liverpool and and Yanited) so plenty of them around. Our neighbour's son is an Arsenal fan despite his Dad and brother being Citeh fans.

I’m of the camp everything city do is a cheat and so another league is just an extension of that revocable wins. Arsenal winning would be annoying in the extreme with the media love in from London. I’d rather city picked up another obvious cheat - which is sad

I am entirely aligned with you on this.
