I'm honestly surprised they didn't stick Arsenal - Liverpool on Peacock.

Second half of City games is like late in the NBA all star game. Just trying to feed Haaland while the other dudes fire some shots too

Chin up Liverpool fans! There’s always next week.

Haaland scores 250 goals to pass Alan Shearer by halftime.

Worthless.  1 pt when we should've had 3.  Just do better Villa, or you'll be flirting with (or worse achieving) relegation.

and i thought we were going to take this seriously, smh.

It was hands. It glanced his chest, that didn’t alter the ball into his hand. Not sure xG has to do with anything especially when one team took a penalty and the other didn’t in a one goal game.

the rule states that it's not a handball if it deflects off another part of the body first. and the xG just illustrates how weak it is to act like liverpool got screwed. arsenal deserved the win, and were particularly dominant in the 2H.

Post the rule.
 

Where did I act like Liverpool got screwed. I said “hands doesn’t count anymore” moments after it happened. Liverpool fucking suck this year. The defending is a joke. The club didn’t deserve to win today. None of that has anything to do with what I said. It was handball in the box and they missed it.

i tried finding the exact rule but couldn't, and in all honesty i took it on someone else's word that the rule book says that it's not a penalty when it deflects off of a player's body into his own hand. either way, the EPL came out and clarified that the reason it wasn't called a pen was due to gabriel's close proximity to jota, as well as his hand's close proximity to his body:

Which also is not in rules. “Close proximity to his body”. Lulz

found the rule:

 

Non-Handball Situations


The situations below should not (usually) be penalized by a penalty/free-kick unless they are one of the situations from the above section:

The ball touches a player's hand/arm directly from their own body (incl. Head, torso, foot), or the body of an opponent who is close to them

Where did you find this? It’s not at the link you posted and I don’t see it anywhere on the FA or IFAB rules.

That's a good attitude to have. 

I thought Arsenal was first in the standings but I must be mistaken. Surely City is 10 points up on everyone. 

More on that, plus a small note about actions of bigger clubs, like Liverpool 

 

 

On a more serious note

 

 

Villa have been the more threatening side in the last 20 minutes since Tyrone's fuck-up... requiring multiple top-shelf saves by the Chelsea keeper.

Still 1-nil to the visitors though.

Y'all generally had the better run of play throughout the game, but a couple of poor mistakes, great keeping by kepa, and a poor reffing decision made the difference. As a Chelsea supporter, it's weird being on the good side of a game like that after the year we've had.

Yup... good teams find ways to win 2-nil even on days like that, and mid-to-lower teams lose 2-nil.

And here we are.

So now Anthony Taylor is just giving goals to City. That’s fucking embarrassing. Missing the save that cost LFC a corner, then missing the foul on Fabinho, then let’s Alisson get hammered.

Yea that was pretty easy. Not sure why Taylor even needed Var for that

If there is a bigger tool lacking self-awareness on the planet, I’d really like to know who it is. 

Anthony Taylor is such a joke lol

How bitter do you have to be to think Jurgen Klopp is a tool lol
