Fully agree. And you can guarantee he wouldn't have had an issue had they won last night. He's deflecting.

But he still has a point.

Absolutely, it was embarrassing. Would've been bad enough had they lost to a Gallagher hat-trick but he didn't even notch! Cringey.

But yes, I do think it's an odd rule - as has been pointed out above, PL is alone in this decision.
I vaguely recall Morientes being on loan from Madrid to Monaco and scoring to knock them out the CL, so there's not really any argument in terms of sporting integrity by using that as an example.

Not about us persay but enjoyable delusion from KUMB

I think we've arrived at a point where, if all of our team is fit, the only team that's head and shoulders above us is Citeh ..... and we can give them a game. If we'd strengthened in January or last summer, I think that we could have avoided dropping the nine or ten points that would have had us fighting Chelsea for third.

It is allowed in UEFA competitions and most other leagues across Europe. The PL is alone on this.

Happened two seasons ago in the CL, when Bayern faced Barcelona. Coutinho was on loan at Bayern from Barca, and scored one of the goals that knocked the latter out.

As I say the most deluded fans in the universe. If Kane hadn't had a dodgy start and Conte had joined in the summer and Romero and Skipp hadnt got injured we'd be twenty points clear of the hapless hammers, etc etc ?

Maupay does loves a shithouse goal against them and is very good at winding them up.

Can see the pressure getting to them a bit and somebody getting a red for lashing out.

Xhaka’s usually good for a red when they’re under a bit of pressure ?

Maybe I just dont watch as much football outside of Spurs as I used to, but I definitely feel that the games between those 3 don't have as much intensity as they do vs Spurs.

They all could be on a bad run but somehow all manage to raise their games against us.

I agree, but it's probably due to us not feeling the same intensity we would naturally feel while watching a match involving Spurs.

I understand the reasoning behind a loan player not playing against his parent club
in case he throws the game to help his parent club which would seem reasonable as a one off but Chelsea have gamed the system. They run it like a second business, an extra income stream and they also know it advantages them. Chelsea have got 24 players out on loan three to PL teams and a few in UEFA comps, CL / EL.
We have 13, mostly youngsters, Pape Sarr as a condition of his transfer and Lo Celso & Ndombele as a precurser to selling them, a completely different approach.

It just makes me laugh because Arsenal fans are all of a sudden shitting themselves. I know injuries play a part but it's crazy how one match has completely shifted their mindsets. It's like just that one shit performance has made them all realise they actually do have tough fixtures to play, which was always the case despite how well they were playing.

I'm just enjoying it all now because after Saturday the momentum could shift again but even if it does it won't be the end of it. Would love to see us just go on some crazy charge from now to really solidify our place in the top 4.

Its worth noting that we were the original architects of the loaning system, Chelsea just scaled it up

In 2010, we did 34 completed loans, we signed players like Iago Falque who wasn't a youth player at all and then sold him on

They just put real money behind their players whilst we just did it with youth players at the time
