Clear and obvious yet takes minutes of looking at.

How can this take so long? We've already seen an angle that shows it the ball in play when it's played across goal.
It is goal. They can't say anything else.
All these half a million cameras, spidering their way across the pitch and all they have is two angles, one grainy as feck and the other blocked by the player
Its clearly out, but hey ho.
Arteta meltdown incoming was it arsenal on the end of a dodgy one of these last time too?
was it arsenal on the end of a dodgy one of these last time too?Oof.. really close.. cant overrule it thought from that angle.
Think they went with the correct approach there. Think the ball could've been out, but you just can't tell from the pictures
The only angle we have cannot prove there is a clear and obvious error for the on field decision of goal. Correct decision.
If they can’t prove the ball is totally out, the goal stands right?
I think it might be out but you can't possibly tell from that angle so they have to give it
Give the goal holy shit.
Very obviously out, but oh well
It looks out to me
That ball was definitely out, but Arsenal deserved to concede a goal there.
Billion pound league, bargain kids spy camera kits for VAR.
Time for Arpepa meltdown 
On field decision was goal. If you can’t prove otherwise, it has to stand.
Without the right angle nobody can say it's definitely in or out
Has anyone figured out why Trossard looks like a vampire yet?
Why don't they have a bird's eye view camera?
It was literally impossible to tell from the angles shown. I think there’s a chance the ball could have been out, but nothing conclusive could be seen from the angles shown.
I have no idea if that's out or in tbh.
Not surprised that the goal was given, if the on field decision was out it would be ruled out.
Either way the defending of that cross from Zinchenko was terrible.

Zinchenko has been tragic this season
Let's see if 9mins will be added to the 1st half.
Moyes would be mad to move Bowen from the 9 when Antonio’s back
Just guesswork if they disallowed that, only would have caused a bigger problem for themselves if they tried to justify not giving that goal.
Yeah exactly, so not enough evidence to overrule the on field decision
100s of cameras and they only had an angle where a player blocked it, and one from seemingly someone's potato the other side.
High probability that was out. You could see Bowen's leg and a tiny gap to the line and no ball in between.

Can't really disallow it when they've got one view of Bowen's arse and one view from a hidden camera in somebody's tie sat in the second deck.
Birds off till Spring
He owes his career to Keiran Tierney being made of glass
Annoying that with this goal, the West Ham goal against us and the Newcastle goal the refs seem to have decided if you can’t tell the ball is out to allow it but didn’t take the same approach for Holjund’s goal v Brighton.
I think the decision is fair, ball is in in frames 1 and 3 and on the second you can still see a few pixels above the line. No complete evidence it's out so it has to stand. The comical defending is more annoying than this close call.
Have we got a thread about Kudus? The fact he cost half the amount as Antony and came from the same club keeps me up at night.
Unrelated, but I loved our dark blue third/away kits
Zinchenko is going straight to the bench as soon as Partey or Tomiyasu come back. He has been consistently awful defensively this season.
Arteta needs to stay in his fecking box. He's practically playing left back.
Fail to see the point in looking at the same angle for that long when you can't see if it's out anyway.
