🚨🗣️ | Thierry Henry on Manchester City vs Brentford: 💣
“You see, I look at the screen, I see those two penalty incidents... I see the challenge from Bernardo Silva where he stays on the pitch with only a yellow... and I have to tell you, if I speak, I am in big, big trouble. I’m serious. Because if I explain to you what my eyes are seeing and how this game ended for Brentford, I won’t be sitting in this chair tomorrow. People talk about the 'big teams' and the 'small teams,' but the game has to be the game. I’m not going to say it. I’m not going to use the word. But we all saw it. You saw it, I saw it, the fans saw it. So I stay quiet, because if I open my mouth... yeah, I am in big trouble”
Tell me you didn’t love the contract or the defense at third. Fine. But trading Rafael Devers in a salary dump just to accommodate a one-year pillow contract for Alex Bregman before he signed elsewhere will go down as one of the biggest fuck ups in professional sports history.
Context on the #Devers Trade:
John Henry just said fuck you to all Red Sox fans. Liverpool is spending an insane amount of money this summer. Henry just balancing the FSG books & punting on Raffy’s contract.
Need to run Henry out of the city.

I am not a referee conspiracist.
They are humans, and I’ve learned to never assume malice where incompetence will do.
Every fan will tell you their team gets it the worst, and if you think refs are subject to bias, so are you as a fan.
But these are 3 PRECEDENT SETTING refereeing decisions by the same referee, against the same team, managed by the same guy, in the space of a few years.
Myles - you’ll never see that again in the sport. Ever. Nowhere near last man, absolute vintage tactical foul. VAR immediately clears.
Martinelli - you’ll never see someone given two yellows in the same phase of play ever again in the sport. Tell me another time it happened.
Trossard - you’ll never see someone sent off that quick again for a ball being “kicked away”. He’s blowing AS HE KICKS. I’ve never seen it happen before or since.
Let alone the other stuff he’s done while refereeing us (Kovacic, ignoring kicking balls away etc).
These aren’t “standard” reds.
David Coote openly admits he disliked Jurgen Klopp.
So do Arsenal not have a case to at least ask a question about Michael Oliver at this point? Or raise an enquiry?
@FA_PGMOL you’ll have no one to blame but yourselves when you’re all replaced by the best foreign referees. It’s coming eventually and we are all eagerly awaiting your downfall 😁
There will be two binding themes for the gaslighters who will pretend they think it’s great that one of the biggest games of the season was turned into that for a minor technical infringement that precisely no one gives a fuck about. They will not mention that Doku was not booked for the same thing. They will not mention that we were told that the same ref didn’t give Kovacic a second yellow in the same fixture 11 months ago because the head of the PGMOL told us that ‘he didn’t want to change the game.’
