Funny how allan thought Newcastle penalty was obvious but maccallister one vs doku was debatable
Do you really need to ask why?
Roy's comment probably is a bit harsh but I wouldn't say he's wrong. Haaland is one of the best strikers in the world but off the ball he looks awful at times. He's just one of those strikers that heavily relies on service which is fine because his finishing is amazing.
and he was top 3 for Ballon Dor... He´s not even the best in his own team..
@@charliebak1505 Recently*
@@charliebak1505At his best, he definitely is...
@@Bears84 no he's not, Rodri is the best player in Man City, including last season, Man City still win without Haaland, but they literally lost 3 games without Rodri
@@Bears84best goal scorer, no where near being the best player
"Micah,Man. City haven't beaten a Top 5 team this season" Micah: "Errrr,yeah,I mean....."
Why would Arsenal risk putting the league out of reach just to win 1 game. Staying in the race is more important. If we go there and lose, that's season done.
City have the easier run in and could easily put together a 9 game winning run, they've done it near every season under Pep. If you want to win the title you have to go for it against City.
You have to beat the best, to be the best. If the season ends and City is above Arsenal by just a single point, are you still happy with your draw?
@@vinylhorrorSod off with your boring old cliches of ‘beating the best to be the yada yada yada’….Arsenal already beat City at home, are they the best? If Arsenal lose out on the league by a point, it’s because they dropped points at home to Fulham and West Ham, not because they took 4/6 points off the reigning treble winning champions!
@@BillyPhilipRwoth you’re right. That will sound way better if they come up short again. We didn’t win the league but we took 4/6 from City. Yayyyyy Arsenal!!!!
@@vinylhorrorYou are having a stinker 😅 Try again, this time, more coherently 😅
Defending player is in possession and in control of the ball. The attacking player makes no contact with or even make an attempt to win the ball. Never a penalty, free kick to West Ham. First one was never a pen either. Be raging if I was a hammer
Micah in a sulk on Super Sunday was priceless
He supports Arsenal but wanted Man City to win. Kinda weird really.
Agree with Roy. Haaland is useless when the game gets tough.
A can’t put haaland and useless in the same sentence ✌️
@@markdavis8430erm, he just did
Micah..your jumpers ripped mate😂
Amazing pod guys much love & respect
Micah is right, unbelievable that Newcastle could be awarded those two pens.
Alexi Mac is what Enzo was supposed to be
Enzo's not been terrible but nowhere near that 100 mil price tag
I love Alan , but he is so wrong about the Gordon penalty. I’m not even a West Ham fan but that was awful
It was a penalty all day long. Don't kick a player in the back of the leg then.
@@thepapadanshow1407 Bro, Maccalister got kick in his rib and no card, not anything from ref. PL officials are AWFUL
Reverse the scenario. If it was at the other end, and if it was an attempt at goal, West Ham would've been given a penalty. So, that was clearly a generous gift to Newcastle..
Shearer just trolling because it was for Newcastle, VAR failing again to prevent that error. Should've been a foul for West Ham as Gordon stretches around from behind Phillips to 'tackle' and fails to get anything on the ball.
Keep crying
@@AnthonyODOnnell-tt8ghhe’s not really crying, he’s put a good comment and with a pretty good argument. Your the only one crying because ur club is shit even with oil money
Gordon also doesn't touch Phillips, we giving fouls for zero contact now? If anyone kicks somebody regardless if a ball is there or not, it is a penalty.
You can call it a soft penalty or incorrect decision, but I don't understand why so many people seem to think it should've been a West Ham free kick. For me, it's a really soft penalty which would've been far more convincing had Gordon got a touch on the ball - Gordon's really good at buying them and Philips should've been more aware of what's around him in the box, which is something a lot of people haven't touched on.
@@Abcdefg-rk8jk keep crying,
I feel people are two scared to criticise pep with his tactics. They did not create another runner off haaland, Gabriel and saliba where marking him as a two really and not another city player got close enough to haaland to break the two centre halfs
This is why you guys are the best, you talk more like any football fan than pundits
We need to have a serious talk about refs in the PL, that Chelsea pen was just beyond abysmal. It should've been addressed after the Spurs Vs Liverpool game, yet the decisions are just getting worse and worse. These aren't subjective decisions, you can't tell me any sane fan thought that was a penalty.
You guys are so busy and hardworking, but I love the fact that y'all find time for this show.
You can shield the ball if you have control over it. That's why when you shield the ball without having control, it is deemed obstruction. This incident here was a textbook definition of obstruction. Without having possession or control of the ball, Gordon used his foot to impede Phillips from playing the ball. I really am shocked that Shearer thinks that was a penalty. Even the first one was questionable.
Arsenal needed not to lose. Man City needed to win. Job done Arsenal.
It's a better result for Arsenal than City, but let's face it, Arsenal needed to win too. They're now two points behind Liverpool who arguably have the easier run (especially with EL rather than CL).
@@joepieklbut Liverpool have been very inconsistent this 2024. They’ve dropped points; needed stoppage time for some late wins. It is a better gamble that Liverpool will at least drawn 1 game out of the 9 remaining then risking not getting nothing out of the Man City game and give Man City 3 points and advantage over Arsenal. So frankly this was a good result for Arsenal
You’re bugging, A win is what any team wants and needs. Arsenal knew they weren’t good enough to they played for the 0-0. No respect for that
@@yeahboi2417 Wrong Arsenal played strategically in an away fixture. At home and on neutral ground this year they played their usual game against City and won both occasions.
@@virtunus7950 Doesn’t change the fact that you parked the bus and looked like a bottom half team in the game
Great banter guys, keep it going, MR to AS learn what a penalty is 😂
The most intelligent football discussions I listen too. Love the guys sharing their knowledge.
28:12 Spurs v Luton, Luton got mentioned once...in the introduction.
Come on guys lets talk about the 20 team league not just the top 6.
Talk about Spurs every week no matter what...
Aren't Spurs "top 6"?
Love Lineker's bitterness towards Villa park..warms my heart to see his pain😂
The 3 musketeers make my day ✌️
i keep hearing that city had an off day. they had an off day when they played us earlier in the season also. its weird that they keep having off days when they play arsenal. just putting this out there; i wonder if maybe its arsenal who are causing them to have an off day?
I feel like this Liverpool team is still only 70% of what it could be. So many players still developing and I can only imagine how good Bradley will be in a few years time. Could argue only White has been in better form at RB since he came into the team.
What differentiates the top teams from the rest is intelligence and my Lord Man City and Arsenal have it in abundance across their teams. Arsenal's defence are so so so intelligent and if a top team decides to defend, good luck getting through.
Just remember guys Alan tried to say someone headbutted his foot
Was it Vidic cause if so that might be true
@@seelzonwheelz69
Neil Lennon headbutted Shearers foot during a game according to Alan.
Lennon has since confirmed that he headbutted Alan's foot.
I asked Neil about this in Tenerife back in 98, and he said, "What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch"... what a bloke
Gordon fouled Phillips
Liverpool to win the league!
LOVE to Gary Linekar for the support of 🇵🇸 never shy to support the people! (Jacket and Zip in 🇵🇸 colours) ❤️
That's never a penalty.... He just planted his foot to be whacked
Well then don't oblige him & "wack his foot" , to cause it to be a penalty 🤪
Talk about a contradiction, in terms....😂😂😂
Saka wasn't fit, martinelli not fit to start maybe that changed Arsenals tactics
It was such an odd match yesterday, to me as a neutral, that game was there to be won and i think if eirher side had taken a little bit more risk, tbey would of won. City were so poor for their stabdards, arsenal didnt seem to want it enough and from minute 1 they always seemee happy with a point
Cancelled each other out, imo
@@AnthonyODOnnell-tt8gh i really don't think they did, if city had stepped their game up even 5-10%... They win that game. If arsenal had dared to take even 20% more of a risk than they did, I think they could of won it. City were so so poor for their standards. I think the missed opportunity was arsenals, there is no way city play like that against a big team again
Big Meeks to be always included as one of the pundits along side football legends like Shearer and Lineker here, Keane and Gary Neville in Sky, Henry and Carragher in CBS, he must has great attitude that makes people like him, i mean i like him, he make the every football shows better.
I was at the Brentford vs utd game and yes utd were poor but BRENTFORD played as well as i have seen them this season . So a little mention for them would've been nice.
This podcast & the football fill in by Ben Foster & Mark Goldbridge are the absolute best football podcasts on CZcams
This podcast, should have M, goldbridge name no where near it. Its too good. & he isn't
The "rest is football", is hands down the best footballing, podcast. Their are "0", comparisons. Facts !!
TBF with regards to Anthony Gordon and the penalties, I do agree with those who criticize the play as not being in the spirit of the game, HOWEVER you see players do effectively the same thing to win fouls elsewhere on the pitch and they're called fouls.
For 90' we watch players step between the ball and the defender, making no play on the ball, and winning a foul. So by the way the rule is exercised, I can see why the penalties were called.
Alan has his rose tinted glasses on talking about the Newcastle penalty.
Your clearly watching a different show, as on the real, "Rest is Football" - today. He's definitely got no glasses on.
This match was eventually a title decider. Now liverpool lead and have to win every game from here on.
Arsenal have gone past the boogie under its bed, now it's upto them to keep winning every game.
As far as city goes, they need to up their game and keep the winning streak going till the end of the season.
Anyone who loses it will bottle it. What a season to witness.
Gary's zip looks like Eric Cartman
😂😂😂😂😂 you been smoking??
It's like there wasn't a derby game on the weekend or the fact one of them teams are in the top 4 😂it's actually laughable that the media have no respect for villa
I'm really looking forward to this title race.
Tbf Roy has never liked the Haaland's :)
Someone pointed out that Saliba and Gabriel were overrated seeing they had a heap of Arsenal players setting up in front and close to them.
Imagine if it was Mourinho Vs Conte instead of Pep vs Arteta wouldn’t say it was a 0-0 tactical affair
A choice of either playing quickly or doing something different are the game changers😮.Both teams were predictable.
micha must be mates with Darren bent. only two guys I know who say late doors. heard of early doors but late?
The funny thing is I’m not even a city fan, but my observation is based on the game on Sunday, if you were big enough as you think you are you could’ve gone toe to toe with them as the Liverpool and Tottenham are doing. If I were you I’d raise my hand and say if we opened up they’d kill us and that’s why we chose to approach it the way we did. Regard to the CL If you it was a cup game and it was easy as you are trying to make it out to be everyone could’ve won it including you. I think you guys are getting close but you aren’t there yet. Good luck 🍀
Best show on the Internet.
I would say it’s not a penalty but Alan might come through CZcams and set me straight
Micah Richards FEARS Liverpool
i wouldn’t be mad at de zerbi joining liverpool, idk a lot about amorim which makes me think he’ll either be great or awful cus unknown managers rarely tend to come in and be ok it’s 0 or 100
The first team to stop City scoring at home in 3 years. Limiting City to 1 shot on target while Arsenal had 4. And the better chances. Although it was a draw and a bit boring overall it shows we are are very good team.
It was gay af
@matthewjamison imo if people randomly sees gayness in things it says more about them than anything really
@@3bladeninja21 Spaz
It's not enough though mate, it was in your hands to come away from Etihad still top of the league, but playing not to lose could cost you
@@matthewjamisonsodomite😂
Eirling Haaland in his off season has 32 goals in all competitions. The lad is a beast at what he does wait till he gets firing 🔥 again this stupid talk will not be heard, give the lad respect he's earned it a treble winner with 50 something goals last year.
Can we get rid of that ridiculous rule of no VAR involvement for second yellow cards.
Totally agree with Micah on the Newcastle penalty, it should have been a free kick to West Ham
Shut down KDB, and Haaland is a ghost 👻.
Just what I need to watch on a bank holiday 😁
How have you guys managed 15+ mins on that drab 0-0?!
Gordon bought the penalty,end of.....
As a geordie i was thinking Alan was joking there’s no way that was a penalty but there 2nd goal shouldn’t have been aloud to stand
If the Newcastle Penalty had been up the other end and Alan had been pulling the trigger to shoot and a defender did what Gordon did he would have been screaming for a foul against him. Gordon fouled Phillips all day long, did the same from an offside position on Coufal too
Gordon manufactured the penalty
Micah 'we talk about' Richards
One criticism is i wish they were in studio together more like Keane, Wrighty etc
The result would be the same, without everyone trying to talk over each other
@@samprizeman4509 nah easier to build convos in person. They're not comparable
man city great passing team but they don't have the legs that arsenal have.
arsenal approached it like a two legged affair just like porto did
old trafford 2nd last game of season for arsenal the key game
Arsenal weren't brave. They put everyone except Havertz behind the ball for 90 mins. The only teams who properly challenge city to a game of football are Liverpool and Brighton.
Arsenal stay in the on box and play well.
Liverpool should be 6 points ahead considering the doku oenalty and the on side goal from Diaz at tottenham hotspur...not to mention Odegard playing basketball in Liverpool's box at andield....it should be Liverpool's title...
But they’re not 6 points clear, so get over it
@@samprizeman4509 this does it for me kust fine....
Keane comment is right he can score tap ins and that’s it he doesn’t hold up the ball or help in gameplay in any way he goal hangs and misses chances he shouldn’t be missing as a goal scorer tho he’s top quality but his all round play is not that’s facts
Micah, i bloody love your punditry mate.
I'll let Alan off because he's a legend but he has absolutely 0% impartiality for Newcastle. Gotta respect it.
The thing with the Gordon one is that the contact is made, Phillips is kicking harder but so is Gordon, phillips is actually going to hit the ball, Gordon is nowhere near the ball. If the striker is the one kicking and a defender stuck their leg in he'd probably get a pen. Foul to phillips should have been the right call.
For tittle contenders that was awfull from both sides,no one actually wanted to win.Tittle contenders dont do such things,they go for the throat if 1 side shows weakness,after City center back went off they had the upper hand for like 10 mins and then went back to their original plan.That was the best chance to take City and you didnt take it.
Micah talking complete bollocks about Phillips not fouling Gordon
Why it is a big deal to play in a low block and keep a clean sheet , I think most smaller teams made it very difficult for city before, a few of them even won. I just don’t get your reaction to Arsenal’s performance.
Smaller teams? City will never be as big as Arsenal, behave yourself 😅
You need to wake up , they surpassed you in every category. The one thing I admire your team is you know your limits and you have to admit the fact that your team is not in the same level with city and Liverpool.
@woldiewege1850 Think yl find we surpass them in every category, mote trophy, bigger fan base, steeped in history & tradition. City have inky bn relevant over the last what, 15 years when the oil £ came in, wasn't that long ago u were in league 2. To mention yourself in the same breath as Liverpool or Arsenal even is ridiculous. Yeah yv bought success, we earn ours. How many charges, 100 odd? Cheated yr way to success too. Know yr place city fan, long way to go before u can stand side to side with Arsenal regarding size of the club. I'm guessn yr young, or a plastic 😎
Only bn relevant' Oh u do beat us in Champs league, I gv u that. But end of the day, its a cup competition, Forest & Villa have also won it, even Steau Bucharest have. Point is anyone can on a given day. You got a hell of a long way to go before bn regarded as a club the size of Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal. Lets tey keep it real shall we 😎
If Liverpool can avoid defeat at United I think they will win the league. Still loads of points for all three to play for though.
Oh God. If Jose Mourinho does this, it's called negative football. City played without 4 of the back 5 and Arsenal couldn't take advantage. Arsenal went there to get a point and got it. City had an average day and yet could have won with that Ake chance.
How could they have won? Not a single shot on target
One set piece chance with 78% of the ball at home is pathetic no matter how you spin it
Exactly. Mou is so last decade, but arteta is a genius?
0 ball knowledge here. Arsenal had more shots on target, and by your logic, if Jesus slides in at the correct moment, he scores from saka's cross, and arsenal win. So no, it's not simply negative football at all, especially when you have more shots on target than your opponent. Also, if arsenal went toe to toe and got torn up 3-0, you would have jumped and called them bottlers
Rubin will come in wor big al
22:22 😂😂😂😂 best moment of the pod.
Macca has been excellent for Brighton, the NT and Liverpool for the very elast two straight seasons, putting excellent perfomances time and again but the lad is always under the radar, it's getting a bit bizarre. Kudos for Alan for mentioning him.
22:22 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Shearer what a response 😂😂😂
Coming away with a draw was fair as city dominated possession and Arsenal done what they done all season defended well. They have the best defensive record this season, however I do think Arsenal should of gone for it as city were missing players and were vulnerable.
I can't remember the last time we had a exciting 3 horse title race it's a fantastic season
Why is Spurs struggling to a win a bigger story for every outlet than Villa having a more confident win in a W. Midlands Derby?
If you love a derby so much go and support Derby
How can Alan sit there and say that both was a penalty is amazing. We all say things in favour of our clubs but come on!
Agree with Al clear penalty for Newcastle and what a brilliant game it was just breath taking. Been loving the pod never miss an episode
Liverpool had allo trent ryan dom ibra matip robbo kostas salah curtis gakpo darwin jota,thiago stefan doak
Sorry Alan, Newcastle didn't win that game, West Ham lost it. Moyes negative changes post your second goal cost us. Taking of Antonio for Phillips I'll never understand
It was a foul on Gordon. Phillips was already in his motion to kick when Gordon stepped. Shocking call
"It was a foul on Gordon" x2 ✔️
It’s not Gordon’s fault that Phillips is too slow to clear the ball. Gordon doesn’t foul Phillips when he steps in front and when Phillips goes for the ball he kicks Gordon instead. That’s a foul/pen every time.
Arteta and the chokers
Only Liverpool vs City will ever be considered a GAME. Neither side backing down on philosophies of play and going toe to toe.
100% peno. He put he's foot in front to take a kick, got thr kick. How would that not be a peno!

If we get Man city in the Semis in the Champions league, oh my lord!. I reckon we would beat man city at home, but away will be tough again.

57 games in succession with at least a goal at the Etihad. But for some reason, it was supposed to be a golden opportunity to win... That agenda is something else.

Tissues at the ready
@@AnthonyODOnnell-tt8gh No need for tissues, my team is top of the league, just find it very annoying that he berated Jota for getting a penalty against Newcastle, but then said that was a penalty when it was anything but one. The man literally is the most biased commentator going.
