Episode Notes
It felt fitting that the season seems to have boiled down to a disallowed goal over players hassling the Arsenal goalkeeper at a corner.
Was it a free? Should Arsenal have been punished for similar (but different) crimes throughout the season? Is it really what's going to relegate West Ham? Is it the end of football as we know it?
If Arsenal do go on to win the league and potentially a historic double with the Champions League as well, it will be interesting to see how a team that doesn't seem to be that highly rated will be probably the greatest in the clubs history.
We try and work out what has caused the rise of the 'watchalong' and what are the logistics of even trying to actually watchalong with a game.
