    Is there a way to appeal the fine from the Michael Oliver nonsense? It’s on principle bullshit.

      You can read the notes from the hearing here, but the club have already admitted to it and paid 65K pounds. The refs are looking for any reason to get back on Mikel’s back.

      Speaking purely on their role as adjudicators of the game, the PGMOL have decided to model themselves after the thinnest of blue lines. They’re trying to bully us. How many cards has Mikel gotten for just gesticulating on the sideline? How is it that I’d literally never heard of a manager actually getting thrown out for stepping out of their technical area (as long as they weren’t on the pitch) until we started getting better? Fuck’s sake.

        Fucking hell, we shoulda stood against it. It’s not much money but still.

          I understand, but the club probably felt that it was a slap on the wrist at worst. The surrounding the ref charge is not the one that we should make a stand on, in my opinion - too hard to prove bias. If the MLS red had stood, then I would have advocated for invading Manchester

            I mean for me it’s like. Well we were clearly right, lol, that should dismiss the whole thing entirely.

    Oh dear Lord. Isak and Martinez have the same agent. Emi will just stand in the corner during negotiations and pretend to jerk off onto the contract the entire time until Isak just gives up and goes back to Newcastle

    Apparently a fight broke out in the home end after Merino scored his first goal against Leicester. Not sure if it was a Leicester fan attacking a gooner, or if it was two Leicester fans going at each other.
