And, we're off.....2016/17

Blatant dive by Sturridge yesterday, or is that another one where we are unfair to the player (like last week)?

Maybe we need to measure the contact to be sure eh Stu?

I've seen much much worse from Arsenal forwards

Now I finally know what gegenpress is.

When you are in the box press against the defender and go down. ;-)

I haven't a clue what you're about.

Sturridge fell down far to easy, just as every striker does in the box. It's been a cancer within the game since Francis Lee years back.

Major opportunity to close the gap today missed especially after City losing.

Have not seen the game yet did anyone watch and have a match report.

congrats spuds. Brought there A game today and beat a city team that was running at D level. Said it before and will say it again. Fernando and Fernandinho together are pants. Spuds ripped them two apart last year and did it again today. If a couple of chances had dropped today would of been a smash and grab for city, but deserved three points for spuds.

Very impressed with the desire and intensity of Spurs today. Thoroughly deserved that win

Horrid performance from Arsenal, but we'll take the late goal

Can't believe Arsenal won that with a goal that was handball and offside. I bet Burnley are gutted.

 

[Tashyboy]

Er how can you give a goal when it is bundled in with you arms above your head. Disgusting decision. Ref bottled it.

 

[Kellfire]

Handball was accidental but a mile offside. Shocking they missed that!

 

[sawtooth]

We won ugly today real ugly! Can't be hand ball as he couldn't do anything about it.

Burnley played really well, Sean Dyche for England?

I don't think I've ever seen that in the laws of the game. Isn't it normally if the "hand is in an unnatural position" when they talk about whether it's a penalty for handball? For instance if your arm is by your side and it hits you then it's not a penalty but if it's up in the air or sticking out then it is. Koscielny's arms were up and it's definitely handball.

Oh well we have more go against us than we get so who cares, 3 points move on.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Scrappy win and probably undeserved but if you want to be in with a title shout these ugly 1-0's are what you need.

Absolutely dominated possession chances and the game but undeserved.

Really? I can only assume that post was typed with your tongue firmly in your cheek. You can't seriously be suggesting that Arsenal get more dodgy decisions against them than for them over the course of the season.

Arsenal are treated dreadfully by refs and have many many more decisions go again than for, we have even had a ref celebrate a goal against us.

But did they really look like scoring??? Only three shots on target

If we are the only team trying to win it can't be undeserved when we do.
