That's the one!. They should've been a goal & a man down rather than for the match to unfold as it did when we drew 2-2
We won that game 1-0.
Ramsey scored the winner.

Um, yes. If you pay attention that is exactly what I am saying...Pool is the least of my worries. I have said it over and over, they won't go far with Lovren and Matip at the back. Sp**s and City are the real contenders.
There was only one talking point at Turf Moor – the legitimacy of the 93rd-minute goal that gave Arsenal a fifth successive Premier League win and denied Burnley the point their organised, assured performance clearly deserved. The match officials may have been correct to deem Laurent Koscielny onside as he connected with Theo Walcott’s header across the face of Tom Heaton’s goal but they receive no credit for failing to spot the France international applying the final touch with his hands. Even in real time, from high in the press box at the back of the James Hargreaves Stand, the handball was clear. Arsenal’s winner may reactivate the calls for video technology to be extended beyond goal-line technology but it should not have been necessary on this occasion. There was little excuse for several professional match officials failing to spot the offence. Arsène Wenger’s finest gift to mark his 20th anniversary as Arsenal manager was delivered by the referee Craig Pawson and his assistant. Andy Hunter
-- This is from Guardian. This just shows how ignorant football writers are about the laws of the game. It was not a handball.

Because of the way they play.... Or haven't you read the posts before?
The whole issue here was Klopp's hard working press he likes them to employ. Therefore, IMO, they need a much bigger squad to compete for a whole season.
Don't think Sp**s have the quality to qualify over the course of a season, they can of course finish in the top 4 though.
Kane and Ali come to the fore more often than not. But the surrounding quality- Lamela, Eriksen, Janssen, even Son who's been fantastic recently are all too inconsistent. They're coping well without Kane for the time being but they'll have a couple of games where that x-factor will be needed and without Kane I can't see them coming up with it.

And herein lies the difficulty of video replays. I've seen that goal he wasn't offside you've said he did kick it you've said offside.
Fantasy football has Walcott as the assist and some people are saying handball Im saying it wasn't.
A handball has to be intentional so it can't be a handball. If that's a handball the one the Burnley defender blasted clear onto his team mates hand is a hand ball, longer distance etc. Maybe given the dubious nature of handballs it evened itself out. Sadly that's not the rules. Nor is unfair advantage. It is deliberately handling the ball and Koscielny didnt do that. Nor did the Burnley player. Yet nobody is focusing on that handball.
You could say the same and replace Kane and Alli with Alexis and Özil. Replace the others with Arsenal's other attacking players. Son is a lovely player, he needed a year to get settled in the PL at 23 years old. Wanyama is a huge signing.
Pool have no European football. They will last the season.
Sp**s have strengthened their squad well, they will last the season.
City will sort out their problems in the back in January and until then they'll win most of their games, they will contend the season.
These are our main contenders. Whether we last the season in good form - make it thorough the winter months without faltering - is a question mark.
Yes, and it is a commonly agreed upon fact here that they were EXTREMELY lucky with injuries... Pool will not be IMONot when they're out of Europe. Sp**s managed to push until the final few weeks with a small squad, pressing and doing double training sessions, whilst playing in Europe last season.

Do not discount Liverpool, they have a light schedule and are a better prospect than Leicester were last year.
Pool and City are favourites for the league IMO. Ourselves, Sp**s, United and Chelsea to fight for 3 and 4.
Playing Europa League isn't the same as CL though. The NLD at the Emirates last season is a great example: Arsenal played away to Bayern midweek while Sp**s had Anderlecht at home. One less day recovery but a much less intense game and you had the luxury of rotation. This time around Potch is playing his strongest team in Europe so the risk of injury/fatigue will obviously be greater.Sp**s managed to push until the final few weeks with a small squad, pressing and doing double training sessions, whilst playing in Europe last season.
