Not sure if this applies, the video is blocked now, but if it leads directly to a goal (or assist?) The rules say it doesn't matter if its deliberate or not, it's ruled out.
So you can get a situation where the defender could accidentally touch the ball with arm and its ok, the attacker does it and its a free.
What a cluster* the authorities have made of a simple rule.

Haaland would have been one closer to Dixie Dean's record.Does anyone else think that this is an incredibly long debate over a penalty that wasn’t given, which could have made the score 4-0 if it was given?

Mo Salah top 2.
Haha that's optimistic I agre. Henry / Ronaldo are the top 2. Out of Shearer / Salah for 3rd. Salah is far from done, he'll be around until 2026.
Ronaldo? Lol. His best contributions were for Real Madrid.

Thursday night I think.
Indeed Friday 4:30am here.
Trying to cram all of our postponed fixtures into the last few weeks when we didn't play a game after the 19th of Feb until the 1st of March seems avoidable.

Liverpool out of reach now, still a massive effort, considering the hole Gerrard put us in

If Utd were to win FA Cup as well as LC and quality for CL does that mean 5/6/7/8 all qualify for Europa as the winner for both cups is in CL? West Ham could win conference league also meaning they qualify for Europa. Not sure if that affects qualification from league position.
19 teams in every premier league season are pretty much “failures”. It’s always hard to compete with a side like city that has remarkable depth and top coach. That squad is also far more experienced than Arsenal and have been in the trenches enough to know how to win. Can’t really be too upset.
I think the two results with the two goal leads are where the 'what if' has a genuine presence. It happens of course but two games in a row prior to playing City was less than ideal and also gave them momentum/less perceived pressure going into the game.

Allocation as it stands:
Champions League: Arsenal, Manchester City, 3, 4
Europa League: 5, 6
Europa Conference League: 7
If Man United win both cups and finish top four:
Champions League: Arsenal, Manchester City, 3,
Manchester United
Europa League: 5, 6
Europa Conference League: 7
If Man United win both cups and finish 5th or 6th:
Champions League: Arsenal, Manchester City, 3, 4
Europa League: Manchester United, 5 or 6
Europa Conference League: 7
As West Ham will not qualify for Europe domestically, England would have eight teams in Europe next season -- even if West Ham were to be relegated.
Good article about it here:
How Premier League clubs can qualify for Europe this season
The Premier League season is in the final stretch, and the race for a place in Europe is starting to hot up. Here's how qualification works.

When else are you going to play them? They'd rather go up against the Europa conference league than Champions League.
I just listed a period where we didn't play a game for over a week.
I'd say at this stage Newcastle, Brighton, Villa, Brentford and Fulham haven't been failures this season.

Yes and? City had a game every three days already then. Newcastle had the league cup and they wanted to be fair to them and United. You seem to get so wound up about things that are easily checked
