Hope he enjoys his trips to Portsmouth and Lincoln next season, horrible footballer.

Not to mention the 30 seconds to add for the substitute and at least a minute for their goal celebrations. Expected it to get close to 100 minutes

Not shocked to see Mosquera being an absolute cretin.

Absolute worldie strike and a calamitous error, not helped by a shambolic performance by the referee. Still in our hands though 🤷‍♂️

Can't understand how Armstrong wasn't booked for that challenge on Gabriel, if he'd been that late with a foot it would have been a yellow card.

Strange that he wasn't booked there for asking for a yellow card for Martinelli, since that's supposedly an automatic booking.

Are Brentford the real "Dark Arts FC"?

Feels a bit like the home fans are refereeing this game.

In #MathsToday both of my #ALevelMaths classes did a WTM, they spent time rating confidence on questions and we worked through the questions that most identified as having low confidence on. Sequences, Iteration, Functions and Trig Identities all featured on the hit-list!

Anthony Edwards 😳

So his response was to tell his players not to encroach on Arsenal's half of the pitch for the next 90 minutes?

Elite mind games.

Chalobah sold it by getting in Martinelli's face. Planted some doubt in the official's minds that he may have made the most of it (he didn't). I also think there's a case for them (wrongly) not wanting to kill the tie off if they awarded it and sent him off.

I've always found Normal more difficult to teach though, especially standardising etc. Definitely feels more "faffy" than Binomial to me, but each to their own 🤷‍♂️

Quite a lot of Normal Distribution questions have a part b that requires using a calculated probability in a Binomial Distribution. Also, approximating a Binomial Distribution to a Normal requires knowledge of Binomial so I think doing it the other way around would be a bit messy and disjointed.

In #MathsToday I taught the same lesson 3 times, introducing the Normal Distribution to my 2 #ALevelMaths classes and also to the class of an absent colleague. One of his classes also needed to do Proof by Contradiction so I covered that one too.

Is Oliver Glasner tanking Crystal Palace before he leaves? £70m for Strand Larsen and McNeil is horrible business. *Waits to be proved wrong*

In #MathsToday my #ALevelMaths classes did Proof by Contradiction, significantly it was our final bit of Pure content. Jumping into the Normal Distribution tomorrow!

Didn't see clearly in the replay, looked as if he punched it and it hit a defender before going in. Surprised it was given as a Darlow own goal.

Can we change the narrative around own goals please? Arsenal are not "benefitting from them" they are "forcing them". They are a direct result of the threat created by our players, it's not like the opposition are just turning around and smashing it into their own net for a laugh...

In #MathsToday my #ALevelMaths classes looked at when and why the Newton-Raphson method fails. We then introduced the basic structure of a Proof by Contradiction ahead of finishing the Pure Content next week. Weekly Retrieval Quiz to finish off today's lessons.

We used it a few years ago for our 2nd year A Level students. Mixed reviews at the time, students didn't enjoy the waffle in some videos, although I gather the platform has developed and evolved since. We use @drfrostmaths.bsky.social, far more cost effective and focused on independent practice.

I prefer him on the left, if he tries things and loses the ball on the sideline, we're ok, it's when he loses it in central areas we are in more trouble. Aside from Spurs, his best game was off the left against Forest at home, looked really bright and more positive out there with space.

7 full days to prepare for a game makes a difference, we travelled to Italy and back this week which was our 4th away game in 10 days. That was our 7th game in January compared to United's 5th.

Just got to keep our noses in front until the end of April and it's ours.

This was allowed to happen all game, Luke Shaw the culprit more than most.
