The annoying thing about teams running away with the league so early in the season is

It’s simply not psychologically possible for a team to operate at their full potential when the league has already gone and second is the best you can hope for.

This is why, unless you think we should be ahead of Man City based on our potential, you have no right to criticise Wenger.

Or something...

How long before a playoff system is introduced?

If VAR was in place, we'd be a lot closer

Incorrect as they have simply struggled to cope with the prolonged absense of Pogba.

Unfortunately he was back when they played us.

They were still winning 2-1 at the time.

Yes I am quite sure they would have added a third had they not added the third when they did.

Anyhow, a silly discussion as they won and we lost.

We would have won had de Gea not done his job as a goalkeeper. That’s another silly one.

I was endorsing PSRB with his VAR comment
Organically the ire towards the officials for missing two clear offside players is justified
At that stage in the game we were on the up and more likely to score
It would have also been likely that 2018 Champions City would have scored again
I will quit now because I agree with you that much of this is pointless

If it is the often repeated Sky Arts documentary I own it on DVD (along with the extra DVD of a Rockpalast live concert from 1980 which is better viewing than the actual documentary).

I thank you anyway.
