1 point separates the top 3. Think Arsenal look the best of the 3 and they have the GD advantage if it comes to that. I hope they go on to win it from here.

They had an impressive 3-0 win at Brighton yesterday, got to be favourites for me.
 
No I didn’t? I just said they got their weekly penalty which they more often get.
Stop making stuff up please Tom.
Well I'm not but there you are. You clearly have an anti-Liverpool/Klopp agenda which results in sarky comments even when they get an absolute nailed on pen.

You claimed i implied Liverpool got a pen when they shouldn’t????
yes I dislike Liverpool and Klopp, but again Tom stop putting words into peoples mouths….just stop.
 
Just joshing Tom but as you are here , what did you think about the disallowed Wolves goal yesterday?
I can see why it was disallowed. Certainly not the "worst decision of all time" as O'Neil put it. The fact is he was right in front of the keeper so he would have been blocking his vision to some extent.

I agree. First I read the O'Neil comment and then a clip from MOTD and they all criticised the decision, I thought it must have been a howler. When I saw it I thought, like you, that you could see why it was disallowed. Whether the keeper could have saved it is besides the point IMO, the offside player is within touching distance he's that close. Also I think the offside player (don't know his name) was deliberately trying to block the keeper anyway.

Also agree

There’s no way of knowing but also the fact West Ham had no one on the posts, it is possible they were playing with this rule in mind.


They may even have made the refs aware ahead of the game they’d be doing this (I believe refs still meet teams pre match? Tom/others may be able to confirm/denounce this)
