The league is officially clinched if Arsenal lose here, right?

I wish I could say I want them to stay up because it’s a guaranteed 6 points, but no, only 2 times in the last decade it’s actually been 6 points. The Goodison 0-0 is real and their cup final. Sick of it

As well as Forest’s safety.

Expected, but still embarrassing result. Great season, but an absolute whimper of an end to it.

Actually a pretty embarrassing display by Villa overall tbh. Really annoying group of players. And it isn’t even worth discussing the inconsistency in how VAR checks are handled. It’s just complaining into the void at this point.

It was pretty crazy that VAR looked at that Mings kick to Gakpo’s chest and was like “naaa, that’s not a dangerous play”.

Idk what VAR was checking in the goal they called off for Liverpool because I had the sound off. There was a lot going on in that play.

I'm sure Howard Webb is going to work really, really hard this Summer and get it all sorted out.

No, really.

On the disallowed goal it was whether the defender deliberately played the ball. Because the header by Diaz was played slightly forward and VVD is in an offside position. Then it comes off the Villa defender to VVD. Judgement call. I’m more annoyed by the fact that, once again, a borderline red isn’t even further looked at because “He GoT ThE BaLl”

I was gonna make a comment about how Pep should celebrate tomorrow by fielding the entire academy team, but losing to a team of 16 year olds would probably be pretty damaging.
