    Certainly makes the season interesting. City lacking something at present, but a long way to go.

    Pretty incredible that Spurs are top at the moment. They’ve really not looked that good this season and have just scraped home in quite a few games.
    But at the end of the day, they’ve kept picking up points, usually winning.

    I'd like to think our esteemed comrade has an SELR_gunners account on the Arsenal forums too, in which he enthusiastically reminds everyone that Charlton exist

    And now a second chance for Kovacic to be sent off. 

    Yet again referees bottle it. 
    But lets be honest, neither of them tackles were worse than Nketiah's bus-ride late assault on Viccario in the NLD, was they?!  The ball wasnt even in the same bloody post code!

    Given how City usually become pretty unstoppable in the second half of the season, it’s vital for the neutral that they’re losing a few now.
    If they started seasons the way they end them, it’d be over by Christmas.
  • Laughable. The guy says he isn't trying to push a conspiracy, then does exactly that.

    There is no way City's owners would have paid Oliver to ref a game in the UAE. Their owners rule Abu Dhabi, they don't rule the UAE. Also they don't run the UAE league, it is headquartered in Dubai.
  • Are you an Arsenal fan at heart? 
    Just a man that thinks if you're paid by the Man City ownership, you probably shouldn't referee their games. 

    Seems common sense no? 
    Also common sense to research what you're posting about, instead of just going along with what a Liverpool fan posted on twitter.

    No he has to have a controversial opinion about everything.  It will be CM Punk's fault soon and if Gareth Southgate wasn't the England manager Arsenal would have won that 5-0.

    Which is organised and overseen by the United Arab Emirates Football Association which is based.....in Abu Dhabi. 

    The President of the FA is a member of the Al Nahyan royal family, the brother of the Man City owner. 

    Anyway, game is over. Kovacic should've been sent off and Michael Oliver probably shouldn't have taken a massive payday from the Abu Dhabi royal family.

    You know our pre season friendlies at the Valley

    who do you think pays for the ref ?

    what if they ref another Charlton game that season after taking the Addick’s filthy lucre - how can they be impartial?

    How much money do you think exchanges hands? 

    What if they know they won't be invited back for their best payday of the year if they give bad decisions against the owner's team? 

    We see it in boxing judging all the time. This is another one of the problems with allowing state-owned football clubs. The money and influence is obscene.

    Just looking at Prem team table makes me want to vomit , do you want your right or left testicle chopped off …
    I mean arsenal or spurs a complete nightmare but and I can’t believe I’m saying it and I’m sure I’ll change before the seasons out that rat faced Arteta winds me up no end and Postecoglou seems a decent fella so at this moment I’m time I’d prefer spurs to win it 
    obviously I’d prefer lockdowns and season abandonment before either of that shit to happen

    Forget context. Oohaah just said this.

  • Amazing that Spurs and Arsenal have identical points and even goal difference.

    It would be quite funny if Spurs managed to win it having seen Harry Kane leave because he wanted to win things.

    They also won it again the season after Coutinho left them to go onto (supposedly) bigger and better things at Barcelona. 5 years later he's 31 and playing in Qatar.

    Spurs fans will continue to love his "refreshing honesty", right up to the point he tells them they've got a grandoise over-inflated opinion of themselves and need to have a stern word in their own ears.

    Then he will be hounded out and things will return to normal.

    Shame Liverpool just got that penalty...

    Correct call you wont get a more blatant handball all season, VAR did well. But did wonder if Poulsen deliberately ignored it at first, after failing to give Konate a second booking.

    Been a shite Merseyside derby so far; Pickford has been picking daisies

    Gary O'Neill was sacked by Bournemouth where he did a superb job and today his new club, Wolves, win at Bournemouth who remain second bottom. Whereas Wolves are sitting comfortably in 12th place.
