So defeats to Forest, a 0-0 draw between Brentford and Chelsea and a 0-0 between City and United, have effectively meant that despite getting shafted on Merseyside on Saturday lunchtime, there's not really been a lot of movement in the Premier League this weekend. The results as they fell mean that we're five clear of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
had a fun start to the day this morning talking with my old mukka Dave on the Gooners v Cancer 27 hour podathon this morning. Giving a quick shout out here so if you want to donate as it's great work Mike and the team do and it's amazing to see all the guests come [...]
Morning Gooners - we all good? Got a bit of sun yesterday afternoon and inevitably dropped a beef-heavy BBQ in the back garden whilst watching the Austria v Poland game. That's what I love about the group stages; there's always something on TV to watch. Especially when it's the Euro's, because when it's the World [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Thursday, in which we now know that the Klopp and PGMOL farewell tour appears to be underway, as Paul Tierney decided to settle his differences with the German manager and basically give them immunity to dodgy refereeing decisions by booking a Chelsea player early on for diving when there was [...]
