How does that goal stand for Arsenal? Oliver trying his hardest not to look dodgy because the result doesn't matter?

Because the arm is stuck to the body. It shouldn't have merited a monitor check at all. Arm against the body can only be handball if a goal is scored directly
 
115 can't come around soon enough.
Nothing will be said of it though will it.

They're running in to put their CITY4EVA tee-shirts and ski goggles
 
Palace goal difference in the last 6 games - 20-4 (Mateta scoring 9 - Olise and Eze 4 each)
 
Redknapp :- "Arsenal have kept Man City so honest.."
Is he taking the piss??
 
City winning four in a row is about as impressive as Rangers winning nine in a row from 1989-1998 and Celtic winning nine in a row from 2011-2020. At least in Scotland we have two horses winning every race, England only has one horse now.

Fecking hilarious that they made the Fulham and Tottenham games against City all about them and in the end they couldn't even beat Everton to win the league anyway.

We beat Everton, unless I am in an alternate universe
 
Leicester City,Blackburn and Liverpool's one Premier league brought far more interest to neutrals than any amount of league titles Soulless City win.

And that horse is drugged up and hiding a V12 engine under his tail.
 
So Liverpool finished 3rd with only the league cup to celebrate after an embarrasing elimination from the Europa League and an FA Cup defeat against their rivals.

Liverpool basically just copied our season from last year.

At least we reached the FA Cup final last season. Liverpool got knocked in the sixth round.

Not really.

Proud of the team but losing points to Fulham, Villa, fecking West Ham, Spurs....unacceptable. Any team which drops clangers like that at home can never win a title.

Where do you get that from?

Law 12 : It is an offence if a player:
  • deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball
Whether it's by the body is irrelevant if the arm is moved towards the ball to control it. As, in this case, it clearly was.
 
So if Man United was to somehow win the FA Cup next weekend it would not only mean Europa League football next season for United but would also mean the conference league for Chelsea and no European football for Newcastle.

Eh, defenders get called for deflected the ball all the time when they turn into it with their arm

It's not stuck to the body. The ball isn't accidentally hitting his arm, he's using the arm to steer the ball in front of him. If he lifts up the arm and uses his body to steer the ball it won't be effective.

The refs are not supposed to call handballs if the ball hits the hand by accident and the guidelines used to determine what's an accident is the unnatural postion stuff. That doesn't apply here. The speed of the ball and the trajectory of it and the player clearly shows that he's anticipating it and using his arm to his benefit. Clear handball.

The arm is against the body - actually behind the body from the direction of the ball. He doesn't move his arm towards the ball. He moves his body towards the ball. He can't cut his arm off

It is. The arm is against the body. Behind the body even, from the ball's direction. He actively tries to avoid contact with the arm, moves his body towards the ball, arm doesn't increase volume. It's never ever a foul

He moves the body towards the ball because he's laying the ball in front of him using the arm. He's actively trying to use his arm. If he would be actively avoiding it the ball wouldn't touch his arm.
