Neville mentions that Michael Oliver has been taken off the Arsenal vs Man City game, supposedly refs aren't allowed to referee the same team in consecutive matches so he wouldn't have done this match anyway....

    JazzG yeah, there is so much unnecessary communication around this. the threats against Michael Oliver, some of which precede our game. Saying he wouldn't referee a game that he is not eligible for anyway. It's all very dishonest.

        Qwiss they do themselves a disservice. They look fucking insane. What’s crazier is equally insane people like Gary Neville will eat this up.

        JazzG sigh - they're going to continue to fuck us over aren't they?

          Every passing day, it’s harder to act like officials don’t have a bitterness towards our organisation. We’ve dealt with shit since Wenger. Don’t know what it was like under Graham. But this isn’t new.

          What’s crazy is you’d think they’d look at the Haaland-Gabriel-MLS relationship and love it. This is mostly good fun. It’s annoying as a fan when you’re on the receiving end, but it’s blockbuster TV. The Klopp-Pep rivalry was a tea and crumpets affair with no adrenaline. This is full blooded stuff like Wenger-Ferguson or Mourinho-Benitez

          Again. They go after silly things like this while the Butcher and Guimaraes are free to attempt amputations on a weekly basis.

            JazzG this is the best thing about Vardy. His mocking celebrations are amazing. When he pretended to be an eagle against Crystal Palace it was so funny.

              God what a joke 😂😂😂 how can they be so precious? I'm sure Haaland really doesn't give a shit. Can't even celebrate goals anymore. I like the Zen celebration had no idea Haaland had a copyright over it and no one else is allowed to do it 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

              Haaland was laughing when Gabriel was shouting at him, he probably loves this shit. Top players thrive from rivalries.

              I loved this whole episode. From Haaland chucking it to Arteta, Gabriel and MLS, to MLS and Gabriel getting payback. It was a great subplot to a growing rivalry. The whole humble thing is one of the best plots I've seen since Kepa refused to come off for Sarri.
