I thought the rule was “if the defender actively plays the ball then an attacker in an onside position won’t be judged offside if they touch the ball first after…”

I could be very wrong though

Spurs losing is always the funniest scenario but at this stage of the season I’d rather see them win a single game than Arsenal win the title.

Don’t think City will pull it off at Spurs, but Arsenals record at Old Trafford is just as bad as City’s at Spurs new stadium.

Everton may have the chance to do something incredibly funny.

I am also extremely nervous about Arsenal winning the title . I was nervous about the UCL because that’s literally the only thing we have over them.

I think City handles Spurs although Forest were very good yesterday. Nuno just Nuno’d like I’d never seen before. Tactically he thwarted City but he let them take a corner down to 10 men which they scored on before subbing someone on for Nico Williams and then his CB (Murillo) pulled his hammy and didn’t sub him. What happened next…Murillo gets in a 1v1 vs Halaand and Erling does him dirty. Murillo is subbed immediately after

I think Everton are going to coast now that they’re safe/ruined Klopp’s farewell tour.

Dyche teams are always on the beach the last few weeks.

If top 4 is not an option then I can see Spurs losing to City

Regarding City, I'm pinning my hopes on Wolves, but I'm more concerned with Arsenal's three matches (Bournemouth the most, and not just because it's first).

I know it was a bit ago so everyone likely forgot, but remember when Spurs were for some reason considered a title contender?

Weird.

No one took it seriously though Kreb.

My brother’s a Spurs fan. I asked him how’d he judge the season so far. He said something along the lines of.. “If you’d had told me 5th after we sold Kane I’d bite your hand off. To be top, then it all crumble after the loss at home to Chelsea, AFCON, and injuries was crazy but we need reinforcements so hopefully with ending the season poorly will spur Levy to spend.”

I don’t know if Bravh feels the same way but the game on Thursday was oddly calm, like I never felt Spurs were going to score and we leak goals. They didn’t even play a high line, they just looked bad against an 8th place team with no senior players on the bench.
