🚨 At what point was it a red card? Just because it’s high? What are we doing nowadays?
English
This is a STONE WALL penalty.
Watch rivals not say shit about it.
But there was 72hrs of outrage because a correct decision was given against Raya.
JACINTA❤️@JacentaArs
How is that not a penalty? #ARSBUR
English
This is a proper football club with real soul, not a plastic cheating organization.

THAT welcome 🤩

Collating all PGMOL apologies and confirmed VAR mistakes over the past 5 years. Here are your luckiest teams
1.Brighton
2.Aston Villa
3.Man United
4.Brentford
5.Liverpool
And here are your unluckiest over that same period
1.Wolves
2.Arsenal
English
Never a red card.
Zero force on the challenge.
Anybody who’s ever played the game knows that.
Didn’t even deserve a thorough review.

@EBL2017 League wants em to win lol. Just turned a blind eye to Havertz

To think that some people felt that Arsenal were bottlers. More like battlers. They ground out another win, this time over a dogged Burnley, to take them to within touching distance of a first Premier League title in 22 years. If not quite the Invincibles – Arsene Wenger's record-breakers were a better side – this team of Mikel Arteta’s are certainly the Indomitables.
They keep facing down adversity, injury, challenges, obdurate opponents. They are not always the greatest to watch, unless Bukayo Saka is weaving his way into the area, twisting left-backs inside out, but they are supremely resilient. Players stood up to counted under pressure. David Raya in goal. Gabriel at centre-back. Declan Rice, the best player in the league this season, shielding the defence and driving Arsenal forward.
Viktor Gyokeres, maligned initially, now celebrated for his 14 goals in this league campaign. Arsenal’s spine has been strong. Arteta rotated well. Kai Havertz started and scored against Burnley. Arteta subbed well. Havertz removed quickly after risking a red with a dangerous challenge.
So close now. Arsenal will deserve this title for holding their nerve when so many questioned them. #AFC

@ArsenalChizzy_ You don’t give the attacking team a penalty for fouling the defender
English
@afcstuff Probably because saka fouled the defender by kicking him
English
Somehow, after review, no penalty is given. ❌
afcstuff@afcstuff
Bukayo Saka goes down in the box, but the referee waves it away. VAR are now having a look.

@FabrizioRomano The referee and billy smart in stockley park

Arsenal are only one win away from the Premier League title! ❤️🤍✨
Who’s been your Man of the Match?

@TrollFootball2 How in gods name is it not a red. They’ve been refereed differently all season. No red cards my hairy jacksy. Well done @PGMOL, an utter joke of an organisation .

@Robinhocfc89 @Tibznation @EmenaIo No, he doesn’t go over then does he , keep moving the frames forward and you’ll answer your own question .

@Tibznation @EmenaIo The leg is irrelevant if he gets him shoulder to shoulder. Different angles show different things. Is that freeze frame not shoulder to shoulder?

Just hours ago, negotiations between Xabi Alonso and Chelsea have officially broken down. Sources close to both sides confirm the Spaniard walked away after a key meeting at Cobham where he repeatedly asked one simple question that BlueCo couldn’t answer:
“What is the actual project here?”
Alonso, 44, arrived with clear expectations. Fresh from his experiences at Leverkusen and a short, intense spell at Madrid, he wanted specifics:
• Who really decides signings?
• How much control does the head coach get?
• What does success look like in Year 1, Year 3, Year 5?
• Is this a football project… or a business spreadsheet with a manager attached?
The room went silent.
BlueCo execs leaned on familiar corporate lines: “data-driven recruitment… multi-club synergies… sustainable winning culture… structural reviews…”
Alonso listened patiently, then pushed again. No concrete answers. No clear vision. Just buzzwords and deflections. He wanted to build something lasting. They wanted a big name to stabilise the chaos.
He wasn’t buying it.
In that moment, the clash became obvious.
Alonso has always demanded clarity and autonomy to impose his footballing identity. Chelsea’s current model — centralised ownership control, heavy data influence, constant manager turnover — couldn’t give him the guarantees he needed.
No vague promises. No “trust the process.” He stood up, shook hands politely, and left.
For Chelsea fans, this is yet another painful chapter. Another so called elite manager who looked at the project and said: “Not like this.”
BlueCo are now scrambling for alternatives (Iraola, Silva and others are back in the mix), while publicly putting on a brave face. Meanwhile, the same questions that sank the Alonso deal remain unanswered upstairs.
Football is full of egos and money, but sometimes it comes down to the basics. Alonso wanted to know what they were actually building at Chelsea.
When nobody could tell him… the deal died.
The carousel continues.
What do you make of this, Blues fans? Is the problem the managers… or the lack of a real vision?

@charles_watts It’s only correct if you’re an Arsenal fan and neglect to see trossards foul or Declan’s that occurred before raya was fouled . Corrected it for you
English
Morning.
Everyone still embarrassing themselves and losing their heads over a correct decision which for once actually shows that VAR works?
Yep, thought so.
English
@HACKETTREF So why didn’t they apply the rules on Sunday Keith
English
Henry
It is simple - apply the law and punish the offenders.
Webb ensures that his referees apply the law in a consistent manner. Those that fail to act sit on their hands and receive appropriate operational advice.
Now address the remaining stakeholders
Henry Winter@henrywinter
How to end the wrestle-mania scarring the Premier League? In all the fall-out to the (correct) VAR decision over the foul on Raya, some thought must now be given to stopping the free-for-all grappling at corners. Premier League and PGMO need to act on this embarrassment to the football it oversees. But how? More refereeing consistency would be a start. Operating a no-hands rule - as suggested by some - would be impossible. Contact will always happen in a crowded area. Darren Cann’s suggestion of no attackers in the six-yard box until the ball is played makes sense, as Cann’s suggestions invariably do. A working party of Cann, a former player and manager could easily advise PGMO on getting to grips with the grapplers.
English
@HACKETTREF And this is exactly why blocking , grappling and holding will never be penalised when it happens in plain sight but ignored by those with the authority to penalise it . Bin it and give the refereeing reigns to those that actually want to apply the rules

It’s all about VAR, it’s all about the claims that they’ll knuckle down on grappling. Blocking, not facing the ball and holding your opponent. They didn’t and on the rare occasion they do, it’s the side who have mastered it that get the benefit. Not about VAR; just how disingenuous can you be,
English
Forget VAR. It wasn't really about VAR. The truth is there are simply an awful lot of people out there who cannot handle the idea that Arsenal might just shed their identity and win this thing.

🗣️| Martin Keown on Peter Schmeichel’s claim about West Ham’s disallowed goal: “What’s remarkable is that it’s a goalkeeper affected by this… if it had happened to him then he’d have been screaming from the rooftops that that’s a foul. If Schmeichel is still playing and he gets fouled to that degree… come on, it’s ridiculous.” “He’s angry because it’s Arsenal. Did he not play for Manchester City? Did he not play for Manchester United? The current rivals and the former rivals of Arsenal. There was no disguise to the West Ham situation. There was three fouls on him. “We’ve seen that all season, it’s been like a wrestling match. Until yesterday, they’ve stopped putting the ball in the box, Arsenal, because they’ve been wrestled to the ground so they’re now going with the short corner which shows creativity, imagination.” [@talkSPORT] #afc

@HACKETTREF Excellent towing of the party line. Stay objective , if you can
English
Take a look at Ref Watch and listen to Dermot Gallaghers excellent analysis of this decision
mufcytp@mufcytp
🚨 JUST IN: West Ham are set to contact referees’ body PGMOL after their late equaliser against Arsenal was disallowed. The club will raise concerns and request further clarification over the controversial decision. West Ham will also ask for the audio between referee Chris Kavanagh and VAR Darren England. [@BBCMOTD] More clubs need to follow this approach if the league genuinely wants to eliminate bias and deliberate inconsistency in refereeing decisions.
