I don't really feel I can start anywhere else today other than the third - and what should have been the final penalty call on the night - was given/not given. I don't understand. I am really glad that Mikel Arteta said he was infuriated with the decision, because what I saw last was a [...]
Had a couple of days of extreme hangover on Sunday and then yesterday, so really didn't feel like coming on here to lament about Big Gabi, but I guess you have to eventually face up to the inevitable. I watched a short clip of Martin Keown on that national radio station that has become a [...]
How does the old saying go? Nothing is certain but death and taxes...and Liverpool getting a VAR decision in their favour I watched the second half of the Community Shield game in my garden as I was prepping some food for the grill and I don't know what Arne Slot was seeing, but when he [...]
It's really hard to go in to too much detail on yesterday's game for me personally because, frankly, it played out just as I expected it to. At the end of the match I said on social media "that's two hours of my life I'll never get back" and so it would come to pass [...]
Happy Wednesday folks - hope you and yours are well. I don't know why I bothered to check out the farcical pantomime that was "Match officials mic'd up" whilst browsing through Sky Sports' website last night on the way back from work, but I did. And it was the review of the MLS red card [...]
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 [...]
Let's start off this Monday's blog thoughts by saying that if you are a person who is reaching out directly to anybody in the public eye and threatening them, their families, sending abuse from behind a keyboard, you probably need to take a long, hard, look at yourself. Online abuse is not ok, it's not [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I'm reluctant to kick off today's musings with a commentary that starts to make it's way down the winding conspiracy theory road, but given I've seen a bit of chatter online about Michael Oliver's decision to disallow a goal against City Group-owned Girona FC on Tuesday, then it has emerged he's refereeing us again on [...]
