Premier League Gameweek 7

The absolute state of the interwebz if we got that decision.

There would be a skinnyjeans bludfam parade in London and a tracksuit parade in Liverpool being arranged simultanously.
 
Koscielny is offside when Ox kicks it into his arm on the line

Both Ox and Kos onside.
 
On the bright side, I'll enjoy another 3 years of Wenger with the new contract that has been mentioned lately :wenger:
 
What a season this is turning out to be. The three clubs I don't want anywhere near the top are all there...
 
To be fair, there was a handball incident by the Burnley defender right before the corner and goal. Looked like a penalty but haven't seen any replays.
 
They had three shots on target and won via a dubious handball.

In terms of piling it on at the end, we did the exact same at Hull.

Arsenal are hardly known for their bottle, what is the point you're making?
They are winning games they shouldn't have, we are drawing games we should have won.
 
My enthusiasm about the season has well and truly died this weekend.
 
That's not the point anyone thought it was offside, it was when Oxlade kicked it onto Kos (the Burnley defender had moved up by then).

Turns out Oxlade did not touch it so no offside though!

How? He kicked it onto Kos.
 
He didn't touch it. Sky just showed a super slo-mo and close up replay. Kos managed to somehow kick it onto his own hand.

That's... the most retarded handball goal ever.
 
Very tough for Burnley to lose in that fashion with a goal which shouldn't have stood.

Every week we are getting these problems now. It's becoming silly.
 
You made them look second rate today. That was an excellent performance and it showed if you get at them and press them consistently that they aren't anywhere near the passing team Pep wants.
I really enjoyed that game today. Tottenham looked top class.

We've let just the 3 in so far, a penalty, a fortunate free kick from Barkley which wasn't a shot and a header from a free kick at Middlesboro. We have a very solid base but the team defends willingly from front to back and let's be honest Alderweireld is exceptional.

Re the title it's not on the agenda for us, our target has to be a top 4 finish, we need to maintain that status. If we are still in the mix cone Feb/March then the target maybe changes.

City regardless of today are the outstanding team in the league and I will be surprised if they don't win it and even with room to spare. And as time goes by and Pep gets what he wants from them and the more teams have a go at them like we did today the more they will learn to cope with it and deal with it, it was handy for us to play you fairly early on.
 
What a glorious weekend lads, a flucky last second goal is so enjoyable.

Ref directly looking at the handball goal. feck off bent cnut.

Hardly, Alexis Sanchez got taken out about 5 times without receiving a freekick. We were obviously lucky today, but if you keep it tight at the back and rolling the dice you take that luck

Cannot believe this.

feck off Arsenal. Unbelievable.

Another undeserved victory after Burnley hit the bar.

Football is so unfair.

:lol:

Arsenal got away with two pens against Leicester, that bogus pen they got against Soton and now this handball/offside hybrid goal.

That's 5 points they're better off thanks to the refs. Compared to us being screwed against City and Watford.

I won't comment if they were pens, you could argue infraction but they were also dives and Leicester dived loads last season, refs got wise to them. Our players got our shirts tugged in the box against Leicester, but didn't go down, didn't get pens then either.

We had 2 players go down in the box today and the ball hit a Burnley players hand once or twice, no pens either. Like I said Alexis was taken out plenty of times today without getting freekicks.
 
He didn't touch it. Sky just showed a super slo-mo and close up replay. Kos managed to somehow kick it onto his own hand.

In all seriousness does that make it legal with it being an unintential handball? I mean if we don't get a pen for unintential handball should that mean it's a goal if the ball goes in off an unintential hand?

Well I'm more pissed that Burnley allowed Arsenal to have ages to make their crosses, not least the last one from Sanchez. It's the usual shit where these defending teams don't defend until the final whistle, but switch off in the last second for some reason. It's fecking annoying.

It's a 100% legal goal as far as I understand the laws of the game.
 
Remember how Neymar heading onto his hand and scoring was disallowed in the CL final a couple of seasons ago?

Yeah, that one you could maybe argue was intentional (I don't think it was and would have given the goal). There's no way Koscielny's today was on purpose.
