And that brings the experiment to an end.

Across 17 Premier League seasons, we removed 627 Man City goals.

Seven titles changed hands 🏆:

Manchester United: +3
Liverpool: +3
Arsenal: +1

Obviously, removing these players would have changed far more than just the goals they scored.

But it shows just how different the Premier League could have looked without them.

Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup

🚨🎙️ Gary Neville on the officiating in the Champions League final:

“Arsenal fans have come pouring out on social media again, screaming that the referee was against them – the first-half whistle blown just as Saka was about to take that corner, the extra-time decision on Madueke, the whole lot. It’s the same old story with this lot – siege mentality, conspiracy theories, the lot.

But let’s be honest: the referee did a good job tonight. That first-half whistle? Arsenal had been wasting time all half with their deep block and slow build-up – he was spot on to blow it when Saka was taking forever. And the big one in extra time? Madueke went down too easily under minimal contact from Mendes. No clear foul, nothing clear and obvious. VAR and the ref got the big calls right.

Arsenal led early through Havertz but couldn’t finish the job and lost on penalties. So learn the laws of the game and stop being so entitled. Suck it up, move on, and stop blaming the officials every single time you don’t win. You’ve got to take responsibility for your own performance instead of this constant moaning. That’s football – sometimes you just lose.”
