Way too emotionally invested in Arsenal and Arsenal Women
Villa scoring 3 goals on like 0.5 xG again, City winning 3-0 with a 0.3ish non pen xG
Man we really needed that ugly W yesterday!

Just had a look at Villa's metrics from this winning streak they've been on, and my GOD is it peak 23 match unbeaten run Unai
Even the 4-0 against Bournemouth was an xG difference of +0.09. So many level xG games breaking their way by 1 goal
What I'm trying to say is... 8th place is calling

Has Chelsea’s league title challenge this year been even shorter than Utd/Spurs’ in recent years???
They’re not even in the top 4 just 7 days on from our game against them!

It’s Opposite Day
Arsenal conceding 2+ xG and losing, city scoring 2 goals from their CBs and only giving up 2 shots, Xavi Simons looking like a competent footballer etc. etc.

Walcott is such a bad pundit and it's so disappointing. He's inexplicably trying to argue against the red card because VAR called it, but then goes on to say it was the right decision. He seems like he has no opinions of his own and just tries to agree with the others

I’m just confused as to how a game with about 7 million fouls and goal kicks in it ends up with 4 mins added time

Pep trying to make a point that they’re not over reliant on Haaland by leaving him out and subsequently getting cooked by the farmers of Leverkusen is a delightful sub plot

I went into this game with almost no nerves at all and it’s a god damn North London Derby where we could stretch our lead at the top, with multiple key absences. What a satisfying performance and result!

Arsenal women are literally never going to be back, every season is some version of a lost season
Even when other teams fall off we find a way to fall off harder
How do you win the champions league and get so much worse?

Today was a weird day and it felt like something bad was coming. Bayern drew, Leipzig lost, Dortmund drew with a 96th minute equaliser
The way we turned it around and then 7 mins went up on the board in a game where elbows to the face were permitted but everything else is a foul.. man

Sky doing VAR chat for WSL
You should not need VAR to stop referees making insane decisions based on guesswork, simply don’t guess on game changing moments
The obvious issue here is quality of on-field officials, if you need VAR to correct basic errors youve already failed

The refereeing in the WSL is so pathetic I cannot BELIEVE this is the standard at the highest level of women’s football
2 goals in one of the biggest games of the season disallowed for obviously incorrect decisions, at least one was a total guess
Referees deciding the title race by incompetence

the TNT commentators seem to persistently have no idea what's actually going on in the match re: refereeing decisions
so often you see stuff like players not celebrating a goal because they've seen the linesman's flag go up, but the commentators continue on as if it's a goal

Madrid look equally as mid as last season then, maybe just more boring now?
Liverpool may not have loads of goals but they’ve been coasting here against (allegedly) two of the greatest attackers in the world
