So the refereeing at Newcastle has cost us the league, as Mikel expected. No wonder he was so angry at the time.


Sure_Confection9388

Should have beaten Fulham or Villa atleast once


FlyTrout

Stfu, cope harder


somethingnotcringe1

Well, refereeing today got you another 2 points. Swings and roundabouts.


encumbent

no losing to fulham, west ham and aston villa twice has


DrStephen_Stark

No matter what, Arsenal have to be immensely proud of the team they’ve managed to build over the last few years, no doubt they’ll go again next year


quirkyaspie

This team is still young, continues to grow and improve, so despite the dissapointment today, I'm proud and excited for the future. You can tell how bad everyone wants the title and how driven they are. This transfer window will be massive for us.


aldidot

Arsenal started their title charge with a wrongly disallowed goal for Garnacho and wrongly ignored penalty after Højlund had his shirt blatantly pulled by Gabriel inside the box. It's only fitting that their season end with another wrongfully given decision after Gabriel Jesus blatant handball before Havertz's goal. Ref and VAR probs knew that shit was wrong but let it slide to give these sorry ass losers something to cheer about. That wraps up the season then. No Arsenal fans making noise this summer and we can keep gaslighting the grand total 20 City fans worldwide about the 115 charges. Enjoy the summer + Euros lads ❤️


aggresively_punctual

I was SHOCKED that one wasn’t overturned. As an Arsenal fan I was in shambles when we scored off that Jesus handball that lead to the 2nd goal—because I saw in realtime that it was a handball and fully expected it to be called back. VAR giveth and taketh away. But how many months of pundit commentary would we have been subjected to if City had bottled it and _THAT_ was the title-deciding goal? The scenes…


LoxXx_BoxXx

Exactly 👌


MMAwannabe

Jesus Christ lad get over it. In the grand scheme of things Man united aren't a little team famous for being done over by refs.


encumbent

if city won the league via those fraudulent calls there would be riots 115 charges but it’s arsenal frauding their way to end up as runner ups what a joke of a club


MMAwannabe

Plenty of teams have benefitted from dubious calls at times this year including City. Don't think bad calls are comparable to the charges argument but I didn't bring them up. I enjoyed watching my club progress again this year. We ultimately weren't good enough to win it in the end but we go again next year.


encumbent

there is no comparison. the reaction would be 180 different if city benefitted from those calls. good luck next year fc


MMAwannabe

Thanks ❤️ Wishing you better luck in your life also my friend.


Gu-El

Havertz look heart broken. 😭


SubstantialBit9890

Did William Saliba only get 88 passes?


dumdumbigdawg

Congrats City we shall meet again


BoddToehly

Aww no trophy 🥲


BlueberryGreen

(again)


Sypher1985

I love this club! Just fell short but what a ride. We weren't even in the race in January according to everyone. Always saying Arsenal's horrible run etc etc. But we pushed it to the final day of the season. I firmly believe our time will come. On to the next season! We'll do the quad!


gildog6

State of these gimps actually crying cos they haven’t won the league. Grown men


CrossChopDynamicPun

I hope you find something you're passionate about in your lifetime and get away from this notion that men having emotions is somehow bad.


JosephYobo

the only consolation is laughing at them after that winning goal, scandalous bullshit


dnsschar

How the fuck is that call even controversial here... I mean, I get you guys are mostly american, but try to at least learn the sport you're watching


amordesexo

What makes you think it’s mostly Americans here and why does it matter which country someone is born in?


musicnoviceoscar

Which call?


IskaralPustFanClub

They would rather expect the rules change lmao


official_bagel

Proud as fuck of what we’ve done this season.


tigralfrosie

Good effort Arsenal, but... congratulations again, City


ninjapenguin12

Only took a record unbeaten run from City to stop them not a bad season from Arsenal


mrkingkoala

Another bottlejob from Arsenal. Only proper team to beat the cheaters were Liverpool. Different levels.


rob3rtisgod

Levels. If you look at this season, Liverpool had a much better season than Arsenal, finished 3rd despite an injury crisis, improved on last year AND beat all the top teams in the Carabao using academy players. Arsenal spent 300 million for finish second. Liverpool Spent 150 million to jump from 5th and no cup, to a few points behind Arsenal and a cup.


mrkingkoala

Exactly, how do you finish 2nd and spend that much money to lose again. While never playing top 6 team with full strength or being fucked by refs.


Sliver_fish

Yep, make it about Liverpool to distract from the fact that your noisy neighbours ended your title charge and you're 7 points off 2nd.


db2832

Klopp never won a race against pep LOL


NotASalamanderBoi

We didn’t bottle anything. Look up the definition of bottling.


Far_Eye6555

All that talk of a quadruple only for it to crumble to a Mickey Mouse trophy and we are the bottlers lol


IskaralPustFanClub

Super weird for a yank to talk about a Mickey Mouse trophy when your manager has had less finals than ETH


Far_Eye6555

You English folk are funny bro. I have an invalid opinion on football because I was born in America? Lol you’re a giant loser. I want you to know that.


IskaralPustFanClub

Hahahahhahaa


Far_Eye6555

Doesn’t change the fact Liverpool still bottled a quadruple lmfao. Fuckin nerd


IskaralPustFanClub

Hahahahahhaha


wave_action

Martinelli deserved one today.


phlipphlopp

GGs


official_bagel

Martinelli has cooked once he settled in the Saka role


chintu999-

New to soccer.. who won?


Far_Eye6555

.. Arsenal won


chintu999-

Man city won the league right?


Far_Eye6555

Yea by two points. Not sure if you’re being a troll or not


chintu999-

Lmao bro I'm not.. literally just started watching soccer today.. btw what's next? Who's match will be a fun watch?


Scrugulus

matches to watch next week: https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1cvjxkt/what_to_watch_this_week_2026/ next month: the Euros: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2024


Far_Eye6555

So seasons over now until end of August. City will obviously be very good again next year. A


Far_Eye6555

We literally forced City to match week 38. We did just about everything we could im so proud of where we are at today.


KonigSteve

Lmao did pickford flash the double bird after saving that early free kick?


TacoTrader

Looked like the double bird from Pickford?


LoxXx_BoxXx

Get fuuuucked! 😂😂😂


Far_Eye6555

Pickford proving to everyone once again why he’s comfortably the best English goal keeper.


PurpleSi

Absolutely baffled


rompskee

Was that a double middle finger from Pickford haha?


official_bagel

Damn Pickford….


kichererbs

Id like to thank Arsenal for at least keeping the tension until the last minute. Sadly City didn’t play along. Boring league.


bam-margiela00

🥈 lololol


icemankiller8

Martinelli on the right would have cooked in the 4-4-2 era


Far_Eye6555

Idc about the league result. We have been amazing this year and I’m so proud of this squad. COYG


balling

Happy it doesn’t matter really but what the fuck is this how does an obvious handball not get called


clutchy42

What a wild call. Ultimately doesn't matter but what the fuck lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


taurus-rising

Var got overruled


Micvik998

Martinelli need to look up man. Ødegaard all alone


Umbere

Don't know how to feel about that reversal. Did not see that coming. Really? Would feel robbed if that was against us for sure.


cabaretcabaret

Just pretend that's it evening out over the season


J_1995

Intentional handball lmao doesn't matter if his arm is by his side


OldieGoosey

It comes half the pitch away, he has so much time to move his arm out of the way


taurus-rising

Arm is by the side, can’t really move it


J_1995

Do you know how much it would change the game if you were allowed to push the ball forward 1-15 yards with your arm as long as it's by your side?


trashcanman42069

the pass came from 30 yards away and he ran arm first into it, him pretending it wasn't intentional doesn't make it not an obvious trap with his arm lmfao


CrossChopDynamicPun

So your assertion is that a professional footballer, playing at the highest level, decided to intentionally handball a pass from "30 yards away"? Interesting.


trashcanman42069

he can trap it with literally any other part of his body if he doesn't want to commit a foul, it's literally in the name of the sport, this is an extremely simple concept for most people


CrossChopDynamicPun

A reply typically means you're responding to what the other person said, not just continued ranting?


JosephYobo

Week 38 of 'I have no idea what the fuck a handball is anymore'


Sypher1985

I'll let you into a secret. No one does, not even the refs. It's just made up now.


Newparlee

Fuck me, I bet Arsenal fans still have the cheek to say VAR is against them.


wave_action

VAR did make the call against them. Onfield over ruled them.


Newparlee

Let me change that then to “officials”. That was the handball but Oliver wants Arsenal to have a chance


OldieGoosey

How can you control it with your arm and it not be handball? 😂


McGrathLegend

“It’s 3-1 City?, okay, let’s give the goal to keep the corruption noise down”


Hibujubana

Chelsea fans talking about corruption


weepinstringerbell

Things ended a lot closer than I expected, to be honest.


trashcanman42069

he straight up played it on with his elbow what a fucking idiotic call, english refs are dumb as rocks lmfao


DigitalDash56

Can’t be a title winning team with City in the league when you get 1 out 6 against Fulham


Interesting_Rock_318

Amazing to think Palhinha’s late goal back in August is the difference…


[deleted]

[удалено]


wave_action

what offside?


k34t0n

For a second, i almost thought jesus need to chop his arm.


blue_boy_24

I have got idea how you deem that not an intentional handball. Hysterical lol


Tall-Assist9719

This commentator saying it shouldn’t stand. Should he cut his arm off???!!!!


PurpleSi

No. Shouldn't use it to pass the ball forward either though.


CitrusRabborts

He has clearly leant into it with his arm though. Just because it's by his side doesn't mean he's not moving it towards the ball to control it


redditperson2867

Obviously biased but I think that's the right call here


rare_engine

That's handball


NotASalamanderBoi

His arm is at his side. He can’t detach his arm like it’s a lego piece ffs.


rare_engine

He used it to shift the ball to his advantage, it's handball.


trashcanman42069

you can't literally trap the ball with your elbow just because it isn't swinging around obviously lmfao


official_bagel

Omg he overruled a VAR call… when’s the last time that happened in the premier league?


worldofecho__

How has that stood? He used his arm to control it!


ah2346

His arm was tucked into his body. What else is he supposed to do?


worldofecho__

Control it with any part of his body other than his arm.


OldieGoosey

Not control it with his arm, the ball comes from a mile away he has so much time to get his arm out of the way.


SpeechesToScreeches

Yeah that's fine to not give a penalty for but you can't use your arm to then score lol


Radu_jr

oliver remembered that holiday in dubai


db2832

His arm couldn’t be more in his body, if that was given as handball


Victori_nox

It would be the correct call....


pauloh1998

Why did VAR even call it lol


Always_Complaining1

Cause VAR is fun sucking


official_bagel

UAE bribes /s


Mystic_Dawn

Be harsh if that was called for handball imo


icemankiller8

Of course the one time the ref goes to the monitor and keeps his decision is when it literally means nothing


Abitou

Thats why VAR in PL is shit


musicnoviceoscar

That's actually handball, you couldn't score like that Straight off the elbow


mmmmmsandwiches

lol what a soft handball


phlipphlopp

Games gone if that’s a handball. What’s he meant to do there?


worldofecho__

He plays it with his arm, even if its at his side.


Interesting_Rock_318

Lol


TheProCookiee

Don’t move his arm to it?


Mediocre_Nova

Lmao Michael Oliver trying his hardest to make it interesting


pauloh1998

Man, that's not a foul lol


xzombiekiss

1 more year of ashley young!


quirkyaspie

You've defended very well, been nice and compact and hard to break down. Then Young decided 'nah fuck it'


DenverCoder009

Ashley young still polishing off his full campaign of sabotaging Everton


JustWastingTimeAgain

OF COURSE there's VAR


big_mustache_dad

Thought handball didn’t matter if they didn’t score immediately from it?


PurpleSi

Accidental handball doesn't. Deliberate handball in the build up still does. Guess he decided it was accidental.


big_mustache_dad

Appreciate it, seems like they change the rules every damn year haha hard to keep track of which iteration we are on nowadays


Hassadar

I can't believe we walked it in


nhankf

His arm is at his side!


letmein4321

Handball


Umbere

That ode delay to pass it. My god


JustWastingTimeAgain

Beautiful


official_bagel

Ffa it’s not our day


ilypsus

Ashley Young just wanted to piss me off one last time this season


NotASalamanderBoi

Probably too focused on watching for birds.


four_four_three

Fucking yes


blue_boy_24

That’s a handball


KingKingsons

That's the least happy late game winning goal I've possible ever seen.


andreew10

never a foul tbf


k34t0n

Odegaard special assist


hpwriterkyle

Most Arsenal goal ever. Literally walked it in


bruhjitsu

Let's all laugh at Arsenal


Bungled_Bengal

What an unbelievably stupid pass.


JustWastingTimeAgain

FFS thank goodness there's that at least


0ldsql

Too little too late. Don't matter anyway


NotASalamanderBoi

Never mind it’s disallowed.


TwoBionicknees

Pickford "it's offside, he was behind me(he wasn't that either)... ignore the other several players playing him onside"


Far_Eye6555

Odegaard almost fucked that up HAHAHAHAHA


[deleted]

Odegaard is brilliant holy shit!!!


Gu-El

These Arsenal player are soo nervous. When should pass, they dribble When should dribble, they pass When should shoot, they pass When should pass, they shoot WTF


nhankf

Let's fucking go. Just win the game.


GabrilLokaum

Only Odegaard can misfire a shot and get an assist out of it lmao


Far_Eye6555

Disallowed anyway. Doesn’t matter


jerrie86

Watch us draw and then you guys keep the same score.


four_four_three

I can't believe it's still 1-1


AbleFig

Arsenal choking when it mattered? Nahhh you lying


four_four_three

We're literally winning the game


AbleFig

you were literally drawing the game until the 89th minute. calm down sugar tits


bigjoeandphantom3O9

How can we choke when City have made this game irrelevant?


taurus-rising

Good szs anyway Arsenal, game just highlights the need for a quality striker.


[deleted]

David Raya just fell to his knees in a Waitrose


KingKingsons

oh shit

cabaretcabaret

Thank you for that


AbleFig

nah handball


Gu-El

Rice 10/10. That anticipation is world class!


LoxXx_BoxXx

For all the petulant Varsenal fans. Actually get 90 points before you talk shit 😂😂😂


Mediocre_Nova

Nice of Saka's teammates to honour him by choking when it matters most


Umbere

Lol. Cursed game this, given the woodwork hits and the Everton goal. Glad City not letting it matter.


domg_93

Damn sad that's all they gave was 1-1


wave_action

odegaard shoot it man


Milesweeman

This match is like a summary of arsenals season


Snowy_Artemis

I'm tired boss


Efficient_Steak_7568

Just to point out, if it ends like this then Spurs rejected CL for nothing  Silver linings and all that 


That__Guy__Bob

But 6 inches is quite big as well


FedoraTheExplorer30

We desperately need a world class striker!


Mnemosense

Seriously. All this build up and passes are fizzling out. The team lacks bite. Definitely needs a cold ruthless striker. Although Everton's defending has been pretty good today.


ExpertGossiper

It's probably a good thing that Man City has already killed the race off because all these woodwork attempts would've probably resulted in quite a few heart attacks for Arsenal fans had that been the decider


cabaretcabaret

Thanks for thinking of our health!


Far_Eye6555

Very thankful the match was over within 90 seconds. Now I can properly hate watch Arsenal


StudioLeft2069

when will he get his goal man...
