It hasn't happened in the league though.

Forgot the linesman thing.
If you add that up, goals, subs, Bazunu taking endless time on goal kicks, Lavia and other stuff I've forgotten it does come up to about 7 minutes imo but the first half stuff was very excessive as there wasn't five minutes on top of Bednarek injury.
Even if city beat them on Wednesday many Arsenal fans are going to say they are still on the top of the league
We had 8 minutes added on at Brighton in November when Emi was doing his usual.
Didn't Arsenal score in 97th minute v Bournemouth? Man. City also had a couple of games this season go 100 + minute although think one was due to serious injury (Everton?)
Not 16 minutes extra though.
It's been like this since the Brentford game, remember a stupid amount of time being added on against Bournemouth as well which allowed them to get a winner.
Yeah it was 6 minutes added on but felt like the ref wasn't going to blow until Arsenal scored which they did after the 6 minutes where up.
That’s the decider right there. Can’t see City blowing it though.]
Yeah first half I have no idea what the 7 minutes stuff was about as Bednarek was off the pitch in half that time if less.
But we don't get that in other games.
If we did Newcastle and United would still be playing. Bazunu wasn't crazy slow either compared to most imho, the crowd just started whistling after a couple of seconds first half, though he should have been booked 2nd half.
The point mostly is it's inconsistent, the pl clearly stated there'd be no wc like stoppage time when everyone asked for it. So for this ref to pull that in such a big game is not ok.
106 minutes the game ran tonight.
And although they said 8 minutes in the second half the game didn't finish until 99:46 so that was at least 16 minutes 46 seconds.
What a cracking game for a neutral. No idea how the officials reached so much added time, and no idea how Bazunu wasn’t booked for time wasting. Great game to watch with a nice glass of merlot though!
There was a Southampton player down after one of the corners in injury time and he was actually receiving treatment in the box so that extra 90 seconds or so was legitimate.
Technically, Arsenal's fate is still in their own hands...
They only have to win at a team that they lost to, what, 15 times in a row in the league?

Exactly.
The longer the injury time, the more chance of stoppage time behind added on the injury time due to injuries and time wasting.
Can’t understand why people can’t get their heads around that!
All of it could be accounted for, but it doesn't happen in every other game this season. The only thing that has been consistent this season has been the inconstancy.
Is it though? Arsenal still have to play Brighton, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Wolves. I can see them dropping points in all of those games. Yes, even Chelsea.
How many games this season have you seen with nearly 17 minutes of stoppage time? I can tell you the answer 1.
More or less, though there wasn't 90 seconds of additional storage in the extra time, and in other games it's never fully accounted for anyway. Also, the initial added 8mns made no sense, in the context of stoppage in the PL this season.
This is exactly how I feel. I understand essentially “stopping the clock” during injury time (adding on exact time a player is down during injury time), what I don’t understand is how they reach the minutes they do from week to week.
It’s the decider because if City win it they will romp it. As you say, Arsenal still have some very difficult matches.
I agree that it shouldn’t only be one game. The ref warned him after 60 minutes. Why even warn him? He knows the rules, book him and if he continues to do it send him off. It will quickly stop.
Just caught the highlights. fecking hell Arsenal really are throwing it away. At home to Southampton, come on you have to win that. City will be have just gotten a huge doze of confidence watching that lot struggle against the bottom team
This game may well be their Everton moment.
Surely if Arsenal beat City they wouldn’t piss away those games with such an incredible chance to win the league? They probably would wouldn’t they. It’s weird how Leicester held it together so well when they won the league from nowhere when there’s so many big clubs who just choke all the time. Us included.
Leicester were being chased by a team that went on to become famous for being the only team to finish 3rd in a 2 horse race.
Arsenal are being chased by a juggernaut.
Fair comments.
I disagree slightly with the run of form. Bar the odd game I feel we have been good, just as you say injuries are catching up slightly.
Rashford and Bruno out hindering our attacking threat somewhat, and a completely new back four near enough.
I think the manager has rotated well personally, maybe there has been the odd occasion whereby Casemiro or Bruno could have come off earlier but by and large the fact that fatigue hasn't seemed to be an issue until this deep into the season is testimony to how the coaching staff have looked after the players.
A loss on Sunday can of course change perspective slightly, but only by a bit, as long as top four is also achieved.
Even Leicester 'only' won two of their last five games when they won the league.
They held it together pretty well before the last five whereby they tightened up and had to rely on a few very late winners/equalisers to see them through.
Rutter is an interesting one. Club transfer record who has started a grand total of one game in the PL.
So all the referees missed the back pass by Ream picked up by Leno. No indirect feeekick
Everyone just took a year off that season as brilliant as that Leicester achievement was. Did Leicester even finish on 80 points in the end, they basiclly won the league when they got to 73 points whereas Arsenal could still get to 90 and not win it.
I thought that too first by watched it again and I believe it was a Leeds offside before that and the ref said basically ”play on”. He could’ve given a free kick for Fulham but it’s effectively the same if they just continue from there.
That’s how I saw it at least. Judging from the fact that none of the Leeds players even raised their hand to protest I’d say that was the case. He probably communicated that to the players but we just don’t hear that through tv.
I must say I never saw a 34-year old Willian returning to PL and to a decent level. He’s still quite quick and crucial to how Fulham play. Especially as they have nothing close to that level of threat on the right side.
What a shite half of football this has been.
It took a deflection off Rodrigo. That's why no one reacted.
Ah yeah saw that now. That's an interesting interpretation as it was still an obvious backpass directed at Leno and it looked like a pretty small deflection from that angle. But probably nothing in it as Leeds players were fine with it.
Are you surprised? A terrible team in relegation dogfight against a better team that has nothing to play for.
Isn’t it still deliberately played back to him though?
You're right and no I can't say I'm surprised. Then again sometimes these type of matches can turn into 4-4 classics with three red cards and massive brawls. But at this stage of the season I guess it's to be expected that some teams are really cautious etc.
Fulham ahead. Wilson.
