It is not over yet, but on Saturday the title was not in City's hands, on Sunday around 6.30ish it is now

we always seemed to play catch-up this season and got the rough end of some questionable scheduling

I refuse to beleive that this is just a coincidence. I know ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’ but I do think they stretch this to the limit scheduling games to try to generate as much false ‘tension’ as possible and extend the talking points across the WHOLE of the weekend from Friday to Monday….

As one of the worst offenders in his reaction to decisions he doesn’t like (basically ANY decision which doesn’t go his way) and as the man in charge of a team composed of serial divers, fakers of injury and constantly surrounding the referees when they don’t get decisions in their favour this is rich.
The hypocrisy is stunning.

Although they were successful is appealing the red card, because of the abuse directed at Michael Oliver are unwarranted and his family have had to resort to police protection. I would have denied the appeal on the grounds that abuse of the Referee are not to be tolerated, and thrown the blame back at Arsenal's supporters and punished the club accordingly

I think Oliver got it right, it was high.

The astonishment of the MotD crew pundits in decrying the decision is part of the problem. The foul was deliberate. Perhaps if more players were sent off for similar ‘taking one for the team’ fouls then they might stop committing them and teams that want to play football might get more opportunity. Instead of justifying the complaints they should advocate for fewer ‘good’ fouls and praise the referee for punishing the team that decides it can use such tactics with impugnity.

sadly the appeal panel did not back Oliver and they should have, it was deliberate and it was high and deserved a red

Leopards and their spots eh? He’s always been a diving cheat ……but it would have sweet & ironic had he pulled it off against the club for whom he hit the turf so often before.
