Webb’s PR nonsense back in force in the never-ending MLS red saga

By |2025-02-19T08:08:24+00:00February 19th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, premier league, Rant, referees|0 Comments

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 [...]

Arsenal wouldn’t be very good in a casino…

If Arsenal needed to bet it's house on something, you'd probably bet the exact opposite of whatever they do, right? "All on red for us" "Erm....yeah, i'll take black please..." I am, of course, referring to the news that Sami Mokbel broke yesterday about Kai Havertz, who is rumoured to have suffered a hamstring injury [...]

Martinelli’s telegraphed injury

Morning folks and welcome to an Arsenal-less Saturday. But of course Arsenal being Arsenal and this season being what it is (cursed), of course the dust had barely settled before we learned of another injury setback. If we all thought that seeing Martinelli get on the plane in the Dubai warm weather training trip was [...]

Arteta and Arsenal get the approach wrong at Newcastle

After just a few minutes at St James' Park I had an inkling that this game was going to be very much a case of Deja Vu for us up in the North East. A bouncing ball in the middle of the park wasn't won by Partey, Isaak was found in space in behind and Arsenal [...]

I hope you know what you’re doing, Arsenal…

Transfer Day came and went with barely even the slightest of muffles from Highbury House or London Colney and, whilst I think most of us aren't really surprised, there's definitely a sense of frustration within the fanbase as to the lack of activity in the market this January. I think for me personally it has [...]

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

By |2025-01-31T08:13:22+00:00January 31st, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Rant, referees|1 Comment

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 [...]
