    Football would be a much better sport if these were all reds. Oliver doing god's work.

    Think the raised foot must have looked worse from ref's angle.

    Good process lads. I cannot wait for Howard Webb to get booted out. Probably sits there seething at Mikel Arteras perfect hair and starts sending out emails on how to find a new way to screw Arsenal over.

    If we do ever get the sin bin or orange card or what have you, that kind of cynical challenge is exactly what should get you in there.

    Just realised that he’ll be suspended for 3 games for that. Just a perfect, perfect process.

    I was just about to post that Trent's crossing has been pretty crap today, then he does that. Looks onside to me.

    Chelsea should beat that City team but they won’t as they’ll hand City a couple of goals (probably from a Sanchez error)

    Sancho against Nunes shouldn’t even be a contest

    I can't imagine the level of self-absorption required to think that refereeing as an institution has an agenda against your favourite side.

    Yet nearly all fanbases seem to genuinely believe it.

    There’s a huge amount of Liverpool fans who think this. During the time of Fergie always blaming it on the referees instead of looking at the fact we had teams that included Kvarme, Xavier, Biscan, Diao, Diouf, Spearing, Adam, Borini and Carroll to name a few.

    Referee’s are dogshit for everyone no matter what people think.

    Michael Oliver is just a terrible terrible referee who's probably bent as well (not calling him gay). He consistently makes terrible decisions.

    Jackson should absolutely dominate him physically.

    Paid like £40m for him too lol.

    Lens only paid about £250k for him 18 months ago.

    Edit: It was £84k.

    Colwill getting booked for timewasting when in fact it's just that football is broken and footballers have no idea what to do when they're not being pressed.

    Maresca repeatedly sticking up for this clown in goal will get him the sack. Embarrassing that he starts every week in the premier league

    Could really do with Chelsea playing less narrow.

    This set up is an absolute disgrace. This is making Ange’s high line look like prime Sean Dyche. Maresca is god awful

    Gary Neville calls for teams to adapt mid-game. More chance of Donald Trump piloting a winged sow and landing it in the centre circle.

    I can’t get over this set up. Playing a ridiculously high line with both full backs incredibly narrow and allowing Man City’s full backs to run off all game. Playing a high line whilst deliberately giving up all the possession just makes no sense whatsoever.

    City are utter tripe and they’ll win 4-1

    Haaland is utterly dog shit if he has no space. Enzo Maresca decides to leave him 1 v1 on the half way line at every available opportunity. Enzo Maresca is an idiot. Don’t be like Enzo Maresca.

    Maresca is just like any modern coach, plan A is quite good a lot of the time, no other plan is in the locker whatsoever.

    Do you remember the film Network? The film about a news anchor facing the sack due to declining ratings keeps his job after going on an unhinged rant. Consequently to keep the ratings going the supposed 'News' show gets ever increasingly absurd?

    Could it be possible that Howard Webb tuned into BT Sport one day and saw Peter Walton sitting in a cupboard on his own while Rio Ferdinand berated him and simply said, 'Never Again.'


    If so, I applaud Mr. Webb for a bang up job. Mike Deans got a seat on Soccer Saturday, Dermot Gallagher gets to turn up on Sky for the Monday shift of agreeing with every decision made on the weekend. The letters PGMOL have worn off various tabloid writers keyboards. They're the talk of the town. It's all going according to plan, all he had to do was come up with increasingly absurd ways to send off Arsenal players.


    In Network, they cut a deal with a terrorist group for a new docudrama series called The Mao Tse-Tung Hour who eventually assinate the news anchor. My only hope is that Michael Owen can do the same.
