GWT: Premier League 12/31-1/4

[Halladay]

You can feel the meltdowm coming from the Arsenal supporters.

 

[maclean]

Arsenal looked sloppy as hell in the first half, but you also have to wonder if Bournemouth can sustain the murderous pace they've been playing at

 

[Alklha]

Arsenal just aren't direct enough in these situations.

2-0 down for 25 minutes and they had two shots, neither on target, and 1 corner in that time.

 

[Halladay]

Swansea is winning, and Sam wad parking the bus at home.

 

[Edo]

The English FA needs to get it's **** together and introduce a winter break. This 2 game in 48 hours BS needs to go.

 

[Shrimper]

You can feel the meltdowm coming from the Arsenal supporters.

It seems to happen every time they go behind.


Still, Arsenal TV will be a hoot again.

 

[maclean]

Arsenal just aren't direct enough in these situations.

There were a couple of times they were breaking up the field and it's like they suddenly go "wait, we're not a counterattacking team, stop everything!"

Iwobi and Xhaka have also been..poor

 

[Moncherry]

The English FA needs to get it's **** together and introduce a winter break. This 2 game in 48 hours BS needs to go.

Nice excuse.

 

[hatterson]

So close to being 3 nil

 

[Alklha]

3-0

 

[hatterson]

And then it is 3. Gotta figure that's the game.

 

[bluesfan94]

So that's not a foul but Xhaka's is a pen? Huh.

 

[Edo]

That was a clear foul on Bellerin on that 3rd goal. Not sure what the difference between that and Xhaka's penalty call was.

 

[hatterson]

One was a guy into another's back, the other was two guys going shoulder to shoulder.

 

[Shrimper]

So, Arsenal's title challenge over by early-January.

 

[Ar-too]

That's a clear foul for me. He used his forearm to knock Bellerin over.

 

[maclean]

Gotta figure that's the game.

and if it wasn't, last two subs bring on Perez and Gabriel..

 

[Alklha]

That was a clear foul on Bellerin on that 3rd goal. Not sure what the difference between that and Xhaka's penalty call was.

The Bournemouth player was in control of the ball, between Xhaka and the ball and got nudged in the back.

The last one looked much more shoulder-to-shoulder in real time and the ball was there to be won. I wouldn't have been surprised if a free kick was given, but the defender needs to be stronger and not be so worried about knocking it out for a corner.

 

[Edo]

One was a guy into another's back, the other was two guys going shoulder to shoulder.

Bellerin was running full speed and was nudged from behind which led to him falling. It wasn't a 50-50 challenge and wasn't shoulder to shoulder.

Cech has been pretty poor this game. Should've had the 2 goals, can't really blame him on the penalty.

This is the kind of game that Ox should be killing it in. I'm a pretty huge fan but he hasn't done a single positive thing. Pretty disappointing.

 

[Theon]

This Ryan Fraser guy destroyed Liverpool and is doing the same tonight.

 

[hatterson]

The Bournemouth player was in control of the ball, between Xhaka and the ball and got nudged in the back.

Yea I could have definitely seen it being called a foul, probably a 50/50 call, but it's not really comparable to the penalty given in the first half.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Spurs will never have as many supporters as they will tomorrow. Biggest match in the league so far this year.

If Chelsea can win, an 8 point cushion between 1st and 2nd
If Spurs can win, just 7 points between 1st and 4th

I think it has a shot to be a great match.

Yea, Chelsea gets the W and the title race is all but over. If Spurs get the W there's 6 teams within 10 points and 4 within 7.

 

[Edo]

Aw man. It's all happening.

 

[Alklha]

Great finish to make it 3-2.
