Not much of a contest for City at Brighton.

You expected differently? Now that Manchester City is out of CL, it should be a cakewalk to the title.

So Arsenal is Jan Ullrich?

I swear only Spurs could be down 3 against 2 shots on target

No matter how good or **** your team is, defending set pieces is integral to winning football matches and the team consistently fails at it.

They almost bottled it...
Far too nonchalant in the second half.

Turned out to be a thrilling North London Derby.

It's one of the few wins by an away team in a long stretch, they said.

Forest had chances. They finished pretty bad or when they got near the box, they didn't generate good shots.

Yeah, thought you definitely had the chances to win that....not going to lie, first time this year I was cheering on Arsenal.

Our very shaky point against Chelsea (shocking game by us) had guaranteed Europa League as a minimum for Villa, which if you'd offered that at start of season, I would have grabbed it.
To still have CL in our own hands is great, but with the added injuries from the weekend, and our Conference SF starting this week, I think we may run out of legs.

Im still shocked at Chris Wood .... City were there for the taken and scored their opening goal when Forrest went to 10 men for a second cause of an injury :banghead:

i'm losing my mind praying for some luck LOL

Did anyone hear the VAR audio from the Everton-Nottingham Forest match?

Webb admitted the VAR error, however, listening to the VAR, these refs are clueless. Talking about both Young and the Forest player "tussling for the ball, degree of normal contact as they both play the ball in the same space." What video was VAR watching?

PL is implementing a salary cap starting with the 2025-26 season!

But the cap will likely be well over £500 million. :lol:

Needs repeating. Sack whoever is coordinating set pieces at Spurs.

Ange's comments when asked about defending them were odd too.

Does that not ultimately fall to Ange?

Ryan Mason and Mile Jedinak are Spurs set piece coordinators, but yeah, he's the one who presumably involved them in his coaching staff in this capacity.
