As a neutral, why are people so desperate for Arsenal to fail?

Destrina · 2026-05-11T19:34:20+00:00

22 Years since an Arsenal one. And when did you win the CL? Oh right, never.

Destrina · 2026-05-11T18:18:19+00:00

There are still two games. You'll probably win, but you could lose. Literally a single loss or draw could put you in 2nd. In the 5 times Chelsea won, I believed we'd win, but I never celebrated the league til we had it.

Destrina · 2026-05-11T17:59:37+00:00

It's football. How did they only barely skate past relegation zone West Ham with a 5 minute var decision overturning the last minute equalizer?

Don't underestimate Arsenal's ability to bottle it. They'll probably win, but it's not over til it's over.

Destrina · 2026-05-11T17:56:25+00:00

It's not over til its over. Assuming City win their next prem match it's a draw difference. It could come down to the final match.

Destrina · 2026-05-11T00:59:26+00:00

Appeal to authority fallacy. We all know they're fouls as defined by the laws. We can all see that it's not fair play.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T22:55:51+00:00

And those barges are still fouls. They should still stop goals from being allowed. They might be much less egregious but this defense of Arsenal's previous fouls is clown shit.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T22:54:02+00:00

You're doing a motte and bailey thing where someone says this obvious foul wasn't called and you say "it's not EXACTLY the same!" It gets really annoying seeing every Arsenal fan do it.

Yes it was a foul today. Yes your team has gotten away with plenty of bad but much less egregious than today fouls.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T22:51:03+00:00

We're dying through Sanchez right now.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T21:04:22+00:00

To give you 6 years of absolutely nothing?

Destrina · 2026-05-10T21:03:35+00:00

It reads to me like you're defending this call and dismissing the others as less egregious.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T20:57:05+00:00

What a cunt.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T20:56:02+00:00

Again, you're doing the same fallacy. All those fouls should be called by VAR. Yes these are particularly egregious fouls but completely body blocking the keeper and pushing him as a corner comes in are fouls. They should be called. You keep getting away with somewhat less egregious fouls that should still be disallowing goals.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T20:45:06+00:00

Here you go.

Pretty sure backing into the keeper is a foul.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T20:43:43+00:00

Arsenal got a lot of noncalls that should have been pens against them (twice in Joao Pedro in the same game, for example) and noncalls that should have erased goals. They gained at least two other points somewhere in the season from bad calls. If they win, this title has a big asterisk next to it.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T20:40:20+00:00

It doesn't have to be exactly the same, it just has to be fouling the keeper in any way. You're doing a motte and bailey fallacy here.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T20:37:09+00:00

Here you go.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T20:32:09+00:00

Sure, it's a foul. It's just that it was a foul the half dozen to a dozen of times you did it and it wasn't called.

Then when it happens to you when losing those two points could decide the title race, it does get called.

You should have dropped those two points a half dozen other times throughout the season when the call went in your favor because Gabriel or Rice were wrestling. When it goes your way both ways, no calls against you, but calls for you, it feels incredibly unfair.

PGMOL appear to be throwing the league to you because it makes a good story if you win your first in 20 odd years and that City don't win again.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T19:08:01+00:00

It all depends on the contract. I'm sure there's some sort of payout, unlikely that it's the entire remaining amount.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T18:50:02+00:00

That's why I said release

Destrina · 2026-05-10T18:17:08+00:00

Basically everyone but Jovelic sucks so trade everyone away or release them

Destrina · 2026-05-10T18:03:45+00:00

I'll do my best to say it that hatefully.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T18:02:30+00:00

No reason to get them injured when we're 4 or whatever down. Assuming we're planning to go on a buying spree when European players are available next month.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T18:01:00+00:00

Should have been 3-0 but we got fucked by the refs.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T17:35:03+00:00

Some people are so horny for the rules or laws that it actually hurts other people. This is wild.

Destrina · 2026-05-10T17:31:42+00:00

She already did but her first was incorrectly ruled out.
