That's top refereeing in the Arsenal game.

Saka chucking his leg into the keeper trying to get a pen and the ref not having it at all.

Is the 2 points just an arbitrary number or is there a formula/methodology behind it? One of my friends works at at the Premier League and he managed to send me a behind-the-scenes pic of the very scientific prcoess that goes into calculating the exact number of points to be deducted for each punis...

Just to counter the very fair words of caution on how good Leverkeusen are, I watched some of both their games against Qarabag in the last round and they were absolutely awful in both of them!

A few players rested from starting line-ups, but should definitely have been knocked out at the time.

It will be a very tough ask to finish 6th. Skybet has us at 28/1 to finish 6th, the same as Brighton, with Chelsea and Newcastle at much shorter odds and Man U almost at evens. If we want 6th I expect we’d have to beat Fulham, Palace, Luton and Chelsea too. Honestly think there's more chance of us ...

Blimey, it's worse that we first thought

The Nobes equivalent of scoring direct from a corner was beating the first defender once a season

They've been runners-up five times so good luck to 'em.

One of just a handful of legitimate rivals we have (had) for Biggest Club Never To Win Their Domestic League Title.

Leverkeusen just need a win next weekend now for a first-ever league title.

Hope they don't celebrate too hard!!

It’s actually a lot simpler than that, the officials are just ****ing abysmal.

They're ****ing abysmal *and* their decisions typically tend to favour the "bigger" clubs imho.

No way in the world that's offside for me.

Got to say we were owed one after recent weeks though.

The bookies on Paqueta Island taking another hammering!

Missed the first half and we've been brilliant all game as far as I'm concerned. Completely dominant.

Don't know what all you lot were moaning about

My general take, Gordon is a cheating prick and only when he does it again and ends up injuring himself badly will he stop. #notforgotten Yep. I don't wish injury on any player, but my goodness if he ends up with a broken leg from dangling it in front of a full-blooded clearance like the other day ...

Had C4 on in the background tonight and Joe Lycett was doing a travel show from Prague, which brought back some nice memories.

Where did you and Joe go, UTJ?

Listening to Rio refer to Bruno Fernandez as a leader. Personally, I couldn't think of many with less leadership skills than him. It's all, theatrics and arms in the air when he doesn't get the ball, or when a team mate misplaces a pass. I've been in dressing rooms with blokes like that. Who are un...

Blimey, is Obstruction even a thing in the laws any more?

I had genuinely forgotten that was a common occurence back in the day.
