I mean the fact that tottenhams pen needed to go through that kind of review process certainly supports this

The decisions are, I'd say, fairly equally **** across the league—just ask Erik ten Hag (you'll never believe it as he never brings it up, but they should've had a penalty against Arsenal in 1956 or something).

Predictable **** refereeing aside, as I mentioned earlier, Spurs had two weeks to prepare for this match and found themselves down 0-3. This was their chance, at home, to ruin Arsenal's title chances and to get one stop closer to a Champions League return.

They failed, it's great, and remember when people were serious about them being title contenders in September? Fun times.

I think if you give other managers those two weeks to prepare against this Arsenal side, they never go down 0-3 and they get at least a point. Ange seems committed to the whole 'we just do our thing no matter what' but they're not nearly good enough for it to work.

I mean it was a joke, Michael Oliver is a terrible ref.

I know, Im contractually obligated to point out the failing of Spurs—apparently every week or something like that.

Part of my contractual obligation is also to note that I’ve admitted nothing, obviously.

Was that the one where Arsenal went down on the end and Saka scored?

It was almost my dream VAR nightmare where there’s a VAR-worthy decision and before it’s checked the other team scores.

I thought Spurs were fcked over twice by VAR. that VDV goal disallowed for offsides was suspect. Tomyiasu definitely played the ball.

Oh well, at some point they should probably work on defending corners.

Pretty sure the rule changed a year or two ago regarding the ball coming off a defender, which is why this was ruled offside.

Bingo. They repeatedly let White do whatever he wanted to do with the keeper. They've had issues all seasons, and post-game Ange was a bit dismissive of the issue. But hey, he was their...third choice?
