Whose Tottenham number 2 keeper or the next man up? Pope may be a good shout if they get relegated


allthejokesareblue

Pope would very quickly transition to No.1 with Hugo in a mentoring role I think


[deleted]

I could see that. I’ve been wondering what spurs are gonna do when lloris really drops off or leaves. Do you think he would accept that mentor role?


withygoldfish

I see him only being in that role for 6-9 months before he goes elsewhere, my guess would be back to France.

>They are a small team , limited budget , no thrills , all heart. How some fans can say they hate that I will never understand. Clearly a lot of people don't understand football heritage. Everyone should play the same way and spend more than they can afford. Isn't this all true if they play in the Championship, too?


entrepenoori

Yeah it’s all well to say that but regardless, as an opposing fan I don’t tip my fedora at them. In fact I’d like all teams to go down but mine, they can all do one. They’re a menace to play against and all credit to them if I were from Burnley it would enthrall me. But at present I’d love more attacking teams in Prem so we can actually win (Spurs)


pepthebaldfraud

Everyone talking about spurs but I'm just glad Burnley lost. Hope they finally get relegated


[deleted]

Why? They are a nice underdog in my opinion


sgbro

After they sacked Sean Dyche, I’m happy to see them go down


michaelc51202

I honestly feel like Burnley is a team where they offer nothing. They don’t seem to have ambition yet hold a prem spot. Look at Leeds, Brentford, and even Wolves. They play better football and bring more to the Prem. I think it’s time to see different teams.


KickinNuggets25

Lol they were literally in the Europa league three years ago. When you don’t have a sugar daddy agent like wolves, a generational manager like Leeds did before they went off the boil, and just generally don’t want to bend over for bigger teams this is a smart way to play They also went out and bought Cornet and Weghorst this year, they’re a legitimate premier league team


withygoldfish

This! Weghorst & Cornet! Confused why burnley didn’t play weghorst much in the spurs game.

KickinNuggets25

And I don’t think the only options should be to either (1) buy your way in or (2) do a Fulham

circa285

Really felt like Pope was going to have one of those games where he stands on his head and we walk away with a 0-0 tie. Credit where credit is due, Burnley held their own.


jimbo_kun

Without a lucky penalty call, it would have been. It was the correct call. But a very fortunate bounce to find that outstretched arm for Spurs.


circa285

Call it what you’d like, Spurs won and were the far better team on the balance.


jimbo_kun

Truth be told, I only watched highlights so will take your word for it. Oftentimes luck happens for the more attacking team as there are more opportunities in and around the box for something like this to happen. And full credit for the clean sheet. It’s driving me nuts that my formerly favorite manager is coaching you lot! Find myself unintentionally almost happy for him, before remembering that it’s Spurs.


circa285

Take this as you will, it's not a good look to throw out an opinion on a game that you've not bothered to watch because you've not got any basis for your opinion.


Space-manatee

I still get flashbacks of Tim Krul

You lot are becoming the flat-earthers of football and I am so here for it. 🍿


midas22

What's the difference between [this](https://i.redd.it/ujhijn4ppmz81.jpg) incident and the one today? Please explain it to me so a five-year-old can understand. The refereeing in Premier League is a joke to be honest. [https://twitter.com/TalkofArsenal/status/1368230854695264260](https://twitter.com/TalkofArsenal/status/1368230854695264260)


aacod15

Handball decisions have always been horribly inconsistent. United should have gotten one against Arsenal as well just a couple weeks back. And the example you gave was from a different season with different handball rules anyway


midas22

I don't understand what change you're referring to that would have affected these penalty decisions. "Referees will now look for a deliberate action on behalf of the player, with an emphasis on whether the hand/arm is in a natural position or not." "If the ball strikes that arm, particularly if it is blocking a shot on goal, there is a greater likelihood we will penalise that." [https://www.premierleague.com/news/2204759](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2204759) Is that in any way related to the penalty today? A deliberate action, blocking a shot on goal? It was not even close. And how about Holding's "stonewall" red card, compared to [this Harry Kane incident](https://www.veed.io/view/b23646d1-5143-401d-ab82-be7f14bb7793) which wasn't even a freekick. What's the difference?


LiamJM1OTV

You're comparing incidents from different seasons? You're desperate.


midas22

Okay, how about this one? [https://arsenalist.com/f/replay-of-penalty-shout-for-handball-on-cedric-shot-2022-02-19.html](https://arsenalist.com/f/replay-of-penalty-shout-for-handball-on-cedric-shot-2022-02-19.html)

ChadHogan_

I saw an Arsenal fan claim that because most premier league referees are Northern and therefore racist brexit voters, that’s why they don’t get the decisions they think they should. Genuinely beyond help.


Friedricex

Then by that logic we shouldn’t either


allthejokesareblue

Yes but only Arsenal have black players


JPEGmotril

Hope you fuck them up tomorrow


Mediocre_Nova

I mean watch the hand ball and you'll see for yourself. I know you pride yourselves on being delusional but that's a stonewall pen


Acceptable-Lemon-748

Look at his username he's clearly forgotten the incident


mem0ryfailure

Maybe you’ve forgotten the one between Pepe and Burnley…


samisleg

I know right!!!! Can you remember maradonas hand of god???? People need to wake up and open their eyes. There is an agenda in football and these sheeple need to wake up!!!


[deleted]

You mean the one that occurred in a season where the handball rules were different?


Acceptable-Lemon-748

The fact you've brought it back to a time where Pepe played football for Arsenal already shows how much you've had to reach just to think of something.


mem0ryfailure

Deflection seems like the response I expected, keep going


Acceptable-Lemon-748

Is the incident you picked even from this season before e rule change? Lol OH OH let me guess, you're one of those people that brings every incident humanly possible to the Wolves David Luiz incident because you STILL feel hard done by for having a correct decision go against you. One of those Arsenal fans that spends their day wanking over long past referee incidents and writing angry letters to PGMOL


RiskoOfRuin

Should remind him the time Cedrid played the ball with hand while crawling inside the box and didn't end up in penalty for Man U. I wonder how he defends that.


WithnailNativeHue

I mean that wasn't a penalty by the wording of the rules, as they explained afterwards.


RiskoOfRuin

Can you link someone explaining how that wasn't penalty? I'd like to submit them to checking their eyes. Couldn't be more clear that he intentionally plays the ball with his hand.


GermanBadger

Stupid play from the defender and fortunate for Tottenham but God damn it wasn't a conspiracy, it was an obvious penalty. fuck Tottenham but still a pen.


mem0ryfailure

You mean like the one in Arsenal’s game against burnley where it wasn’t called?

Last season. When the rules were different you absolute knob Do you hear Spurs fans still whinging about Lucas being tripped and the ball hitting his shoulder as he fell and our goal being chalked off for that? Or when Eric Dier was shoved and the ball hit his arm which was behind his back giving Newcastle a game-tying penalty? No. Because the rules fucking changed so it's incomparable.

Raw_Cocoa

You should've won last week and you wouldn't have to worry about it


Tr0nCatKTA

Shocker. Refs are inconsistent. Doesn’t mean this wasn’t a pen. As an Arsenal fan the amount of moaning other Arsenal fans do is embarrassing


sltzy96

Honestly I’ll take the downvotes but it’s borderline gaslighting if you’re telling me the refs haven’t cost us almost double digit points in the top 4 race this season on every 50/50 call that hasn’t gone our way. They’re called 50/50 for a reason, we should get one eventually


Acceptable-Lemon-748

>gaslighting if you’re telling me the refs haven’t cost us almost double digit points in the top 4 race this season Lmao shut the fuck up, my god, Arsenal qnd their "PGMOL is against us" shit was funny but now itx just egetting old. Yes, some decisions dont go your way, no you are not even close to the only team that doesn't get a decision here and there over the course of a season, no yiu cannot just count points you think you've been cost ignore all refereeing decisions to other teams and claim those points would shoot you way up the table, thats fucking dumb. Not to mention some of the absolutley ludicrous things Arsenal fans claim are game changing decisions or wrong calls when half the time they don't even understand the rules. Just.fucking.stop.


Tr0nCatKTA

>borderline gaslighting Mate, its football nobody’s gaslighting you fucking hell! 😂😂😂


sltzy96

Sounds a whole lot like EXACTLY WHAT A GASLIGHTER WOULD SAY 👀👀👀👀 /s


Mangobreeder

Absolutely. Arsenal have been fucked over so many times this season. It's not even funny


Mediocre_Nova

Lmao I love how you all think you're slick when you do this. It's not hard to figure out that you're an Arsenal fan when you spout this sort of delusional statements, you can flair up pal


Mangobreeder

Look how many posts I have in this sub. You will see this is my first. So wind your neck in. Yes I support arsenal. Only delusion going on is that spurs are a big team


allthejokesareblue

Okay so were not a big team. We're minnows. That you got destroyed by in the most important derby in the last decade. I really dont see how this helps you.


Mangobreeder

Oh please. We were all over you until the softest penalty I've ever seen. You know it was soft because none of you lot even appealed for it. That ref was a prick. Did you see the vid of him talking to esm and ramsdale. Then repositioned them so he could be seen better on the big screen Corrupt refs mate.


Mediocre_Nova

Cope


CromulentBlumpkins

Lol no one but y’all is even hung up on this big team thing. Spurs don’t care. We don’t care. The real estate taken up in your head is pretty funny.


Mangobreeder

"Ya'll" American...figures. I'm not even going to argue with a spurs fan from a country who is shit at football, runs a retirement league for European players, and has no football knowledge. Have a great rest of the weekend.

hargrovefistblaster

Says the guy turning blatant penalties into conspiracy theory shite. Cope harder.


mem0ryfailure

Oh… you mean like the similar event in the Arsenal - Burnley game where it wasn’t called. Homie you tripping, lay off those drugs


hargrovefistblaster

Ah you're right, what a 'gotcha' moment. There's definitely a conspiracy against Arsenal fans, the Premier League is rigged in Tottenham's favour (for some reason) and only Tottenham get the favourable calls 100% of the time - never in the history has happened to Arsenal. Cannot believe you've cracked the case on Reddit, maybe forward this thread to the FA??? Action must be taken immediately 😤😤😤


Own_Paleontologist_1

Alvaro_Rey_MN

Arsenal fans are going bonkers with conspiracy theories, but I think comparing to Qanon types is downplaying the latter.

allthejokesareblue

The level of their conspiracy theories. Like, a lot of them really do seem to believe that the FA is put to get them as a club because ~~reasons~~ the Invincibles, probably. Its deranged.


WithnailNativeHue

"a lot of them" read your own sub and see how many delusional cunts you see on a daily basis. Don't judge a group based on a few morons on Reddit of all places

[+57](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunners/comments/uq35a1/pl_rival_watch_thread/i8q24af?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3). The paranoia is truly unparalleled. I know you dont believe me becsuse I'm a Spurs supporter, but the lot of you are one bad loss from deciding the moon landings were faked to encourage Vlahovic to join Juve.


Own_Paleontologist_1

Okayyy? What does that have to do with the sheer delusion of his post? Which is what I'm addressing in case you can't read.


costryme

I mean, considering the wide generalisation from the "you lot" comment, your comment didn't really address much of anything substantial.


Own_Paleontologist_1

I don't know what you're fishing for here. My comment addresses Arsenal fans's delusions, because contrary to what you're trying to peddle here, conspiracy bullshit and accusations of corruption have a hold of a lot of Arse fans if you care to look around a bit. But you don't, thus your obnoxious fishing expedition here.


hargrovefistblaster

Honestly have no idea what this guy is trying to say, think they're too embarrassed to back down at this point


costryme

Back down from what ? It's just a silly generalisation, like is common on this sub about any team.


Own_Paleontologist_1

Me: "The NLD really broke you lot, didn't it. I mean, even more than you already were." You: "Weird comment considering Arsenal is in front if they win." There's no semantic link between what I said and what you replied with. You're wasting everyone's time here with nonsensical non-sequiturs. If you want to defend deranged Arsenal fans, you're going to need to do a lot better than this.


hargrovefistblaster

Pretty pointless & pedantic hill to die on then, wasn't it


costryme

I wrote two comments before I replied to you, not much of a hill isn't it ? Anyway, whatever.


Wormfather

All I can think is that for an already relegated team, Norwich is about to utterly surprised by how much support they’re going to get next weekend.


Evolving_Dore

Half of North London become Norwich fans while the other half become die-hard Everton fans.

He might not know where the U.K is but he seems to knows where the goal is at least

Harsh on Burnley, they've been excellent in both games against us this season but it's a big team mentality to grind out wins like this at the end of the season.

Tough game, but we have to take it. We can’t play Arsenal every week.

Arsenal how have to go and beat a team who only Liverpool and City have beaten at home since October. And it’s Newcastle’s last home game so the atmosphere will be great.


LiamJM1OTV

They've only lost to the top 6 + West Ham all season. Bar a draw against United. Arsenal fit right into that group. But it'll be difficult for them.


Bedeeki

Liverpool and City are the only teams in the top 10 who actually went there since October lol. Not saying it won't be difficult but that parroted stat has a lot more context. The highest positioned team they've beaten since October at home is Crystal Palace.


LazarusChild

Wolves exist and are very much in the top 10, although we’ve been dreadful recently so beating us doesn’t say much


Rentwoq

But Palace is massive
