Really don’t get all the commotion about that decision. It’s as a clear foul on the keeper as you’ll ever regardless of what else has happened throughout the season. There is absolutely no debate to be had about that whatsoever. I would agree with Al that the real debate should be around why the referee didn’t just blow for it outright and waited for VAR to call it for him. It wouldn’t even have been controversial had he just done as he should.

I also don’t really get why everyone is so upset about it. I know everyone hates Arsenal but surely at most they don’t care and it’s better to see someone else win it than 100 rule breaches Manche$$$$$$ter Hunter buying their way to their 17th league title in the last 15 years?

Hatred of Starmer's Arsenal trumps everything
 
I've just seen the West Ham disallowed goal... disgraceful, what has happened to the game when you have puffs for goalkeepers. Every Arsenal fan after they've finished jerking themselves off for being so fantastic, should be ashamed of their club for being wimps/ cry babies every single player... their goal was a deflection too. A pity Man City ****ed it up at Everton.

His arm is being chopped. It's a clear free kick when you take the emotion out of it.

The problem is Syd, if he was a good keeper he comes and clean the attacker out, especially at a critical time, instead he knows that if someone breathes on him and he falls to the ground he gets a free kick. If attackers and defenders wrestle with each other without penalty, just why is a keeper who is about 2/3 foot taller with his arms given such protection..

and I know its always been that way.... but its not football is it...

Tbf, did you see the pull on the back of his shirt by Todibo? All the focus was on the arm across his front, but I think the foul was actually given due to the pull (or maybe the combination).
I was off my seat when West Ham 'scored'. Gutted it was ruled out, but imo probably the right decision. However, a penalty should have been awarded to West Ham instead for all the wrestling on them that was going on before the keeper was 'fouled'.

Just saw a Colchester United fan saying she ordered a food shop from Tesco and Jamie Cureton delivered it.

I just looked and he's still playing aged 50, he scored 12 goals in 19 appearances this season and became the first player ever to score in all the top ten divisions of English football.

Useless fact of the day.

Bullshit, the player challenging him was having his shirt pulled by 2 arsenal players, who's to say if they weren't pulling his shirt he would have been able to jump higher therefore not catching the keeper with his arm.
VAR is just a total mess and not been used for what it was intended.

that's part of why the correct decision would have been a penalty to West Ham

If Hull City where 2 v 1 up I the Play Off final in 2 weeks and they conceded a goal exactly in the same circumstances and it got disallowed EVERY SINGLE PERSON on here would say it was 100% the right decision !
It was a foul simple as and for the holding and shirt pulling it happens at every single corner .
