FA wade in on MLS debate; Watkins deal probably a 1% chance now

Let's all give an extremely slow and sarcastic clap to the FA today folks, after they decided to charge Arsenal for its players' conduct after the sending off of Myles Lewis-Skelly last weekend. So let's get this straight. The dismissal was ruled to be incorrect, which is why the Arsenal players were furious, the response [...]

Congratulations

Congratulations to Michael Oliver. You made it all about you yesterday. You proved once again that your biases are clear when it comes to Arsenal and not even for the first time this season, you decided to change a game based on a decision that for 19 other clubs you would never give. Myles Lewis-Skelly's [...]

Some teams get all the luck…

Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good? It's my last working day today and also my last in the UK for the next three weeks, as I jet off to South Africa for the holidays, so it was fun to learn that the Scum almost blew a three-goal lead in the League Cup last [...]

Arsenal’s injury woes feel never-ending right now…

This season has absolutely battered Arsenal with injuries from day one, so perhaps it is no surprise that I've woken up this morning to jot down some thoughts, only to find that Leandro Trossard limped off after 37 minutes in Belgium's 1-0 defeat to Israel in Budapest yesterday. I haven't read any comments that talk [...]

Can we FINALLY get some real change at PGMOL now please?

By |2024-11-12T08:03:15+00:00November 12th, 2024|History, premier league, Rant, referees|0 Comments

There's only really one place to start today, eh? David Coote. Winning of the "I'm going to send Tomiyasu off for breathing on Jordan Ayew" award for farcical refereeing, was yesterday suspended from duties by the PGMOL, pending an investigation into his conduct. The video that leaked - a pretty clear-cut case of two blokes having [...]

No way to dress up a trash Arsenal performance in Newcastle

There's no way to sugar coat it today. There is no way to dress up yesterday abysmal Arsenal performance. There is only the truth that needs to be spoken and sadly what you're going to read for the next 1,000 or so words is that of a disappointed Gooner with very little positivity. Arsenal's defeat [...]

Saka potential woe serves as another Arsenal blow

Oh god how I hate these interminable international breaks. It feels like, for this season in particular, they were sent to try us Arsenal fans, as Saka limped off last night in England's pointless 2-1 defeat to Greece. Honestly, I wish international football was just fired in to the sun. I suppose it's my own [...]

Odegaard’s injury – international football can get in the bin

I think I can speak for most Arsenal fans this morning when I say: International football can get in the f*cking bin. And then that bin can be thrown in the sea. Because you - like me I am sure - will be pretty cheesed off about the Martin Odegaard injury last night. He landed [...]

International injury tenterhooks and a new contract for Leo?

Ahh man it's a barren football wasteland out there right now. There is absolutely nothing anybody can say that would convince me that tonight's match between the Republic of Ireland and England is one worth getting invested in. I'm up in Northumberland and the Management's uncle is a Newcastle and England fan, so he'll probably [...]

Another day, another shocking set of refereeing decisions – Arsenal v Brighton

No matter how much I might try to today, there is absolutely no way of looking at that game yesterday any other way than through the lens of that 49th minute ‘incident’ featuring Veltman and Rice. As you will already know, on a yellow, Rice and Veltman came together by the corner flag and a [...]
