That would be absolutely unbearable. Luckily all City need from their last 2 games is one win effectively as their GD is so superior so even if they lose this game they should be ok.

Plus they've pulled it back to 2-2. Win this and they effectively have the title.

VAR gives the penno to City. Honestly, in looking at the replays there was no other outcome.. Can Mahrez bury it though?

I dont fucking believe it. Flappy saves it. Fuck

Could do with an Everton win today so they’ll be safe

Agreed. I would prefer them having nothing to play for in our final game.

Of course, we have to actually beat Newcastle first.

Everton 1-0 up then get a silly red card. Brentford manage to equalise but the 10 ten Everton now get a pen. Hopefully they can score and win.

Big Willie

Shit the are now 3-2 down. Fucking Everton.

One the bright side Everton are still shit

Everton play Thursday too, they'll go hard as they can at that because they'll be afraid of us.

They'll also miss the two players who got sent off won't they

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

What a horrific season they've had.

Rondon and Braithwaite, not a big miss

Lol, and they made a show of the fans turning up en masse to support the team bus as it entered into the grounds.

Maybe if they had been a bit more, um, shall we say “or else” in their expression of support, the players might have been more motivated.

Qwiss

Motivation wasn't lacking at all. Everton were well up for it and had them until the red. Reds just a mistake from a very inexperienced kid. Even with 10 men they made a good game of it.

Sounds like results couldn't have been worse for us today. Of course Spurs got given a penalty. Saw it was 0-0 at 42 minutes when I went to bed last night (11pm kickoff here) and thought "they'll surely just get a penalty if they don't score." Everton still not safe either and Liverpool still with a chance of winning the league. All gearing up for an absolutely sickening ending.

Yeah, we didn't have that desire or desperation last week. We'll somehow find it though by tomorrow.

Hopefully the FA and refs don't fix our next two games..

I find it hard to believe that they won't, but they probably won't even have to. They've done enough to keep us out of top 4 this season, already.

The words "Kane penalty" have started to trigger me.

If we miss out on fourth place we'll only have ourselves to blame, but there will be a few people we'll want to kill just the same.

I am biased, but I don't think I'm only biased when I say big decision go against our interests more than other top clubs.

Harry Kane reminds me of someone who should've been pushed off a bridge in the opening scenes of a Guy Ritchie film, and I wish he had been.

Been like that going on 2 decades now. Disgusting tackles against us don't get called cuz we're "too soft" and any time we make challenges we get called up on it because there's no way these softies won that fair and square without it being a foul.

And it goes far beyond the on field refs as well. VAR always seems to take ages, and I mean ages, looking at any call that could go our way, and when it's the opposite way the decision is made in seconds.

Have to agree with that and honestly it's Wenger's legacy still hanging over us, and the way his particular genius and approach to football was received by the idiots in England's footballing culture. Feel like it won't leave us until we win major trophies again (or get relegated)—no one dares to call a champion team soft, but before Wenger quit we had a decade of that pall shadowing our club and it still lingers.

Yeah, people found it hard to accept this Frenchman winning trophies in England with a team made up of mainly foreigners. I don't think we were being treated like this until around 2002 or 2003 when the papers started highlighting and focussing on us making history by not having any British players in the starting XI. And it's been a factor since.

Not sure us winning a couple trophies will change that either tbh, this generation of refs have been biased against us. They also grew up in a time when Liverpool and United were winning trophies regularly and so I'm not surprised to see them get loads of decisions that most other teams wouldn't get.

Spurs are the anomoly for me though. They somehow have lots of support in the media and also seem to be getting lots of decisions going their way but it could be because England's captain and star stiker plays for them.
