Every Argentine player in the English Premier League who took part in this ugly anti-British display should be stripped of their UK work visa. There should be zero tolerance for this.
“The first 18 years of my life, Holland fed me, schooled me, raised me.”
…..
“I resented Holland.
For years it was me vs them.”
Brilliant stuff, very moving.
Ref tells Saka to hurry up and take the corner with stoppage time up. Saka does his usual slow-walk to run down the clock. The ref calmly waits, and the absolute second Saka gets into position? He blows for half-time.
Absolute cinema. Masterclass game management for a final.
Arsenal got so used to getting away with murder from Premier League refs that when someone actually enforces the rules, they think they’re being robbed.
Credit where it’s due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Arteta’s touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldn’t be parading a PGMOL trophy today.
Justice served in Europe! 🫶🏼
I’ve just scrolled the timeline and seen a fan from pretty much every club post a screenshot of Arsenal getting away with wrestling in the box against their club ffs
I have watched football for years and very rarely do I come out of a game genuinely questioning the integrity of the officiating, but what happened in this game particularly was definitely beyond shamelessness.
THREE potential red card incidents in one match and somehow every single major decision magically falls in City’s favour.
That Matheus Nunes challenge alone should’ve been enough to bring Manchester City down to 10 men. Last man, player through on goal, brings the player (Schade) down in front of goal while barely getting anything on the ball and somehow there’s no foul, no booking, nothing. We have seen defenders get sent off this season for far less contact than that.
And this is the exact reason why we the fans have completely lost trust in PGMOL. The inconsistency is actually insulting at this point. One player gets a straight red for a slight touch in midfield, another escapes punishment in a goal scoring situation because the result affects a title race!!
People will say “stop crying” for sure, I know, but at some point, we the fans are allowed to question why these decisions repeatedly benefit the same teams (Manchester City to be precise) in the biggest moments.
After Chelsea’s clash against Barcelona in the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final controversy, this is the second biggest most disturbing officiating performances I have watched in my life.
I certainly don’t know how much Manchester City paid to pull this one off, but it must certainly be a lot!!!
