Ney will probably play less than five games, and his presentation will be the highlight of this move. But right now this is an amazing moment.

Wow :ohhh:

Just seen this Oliver controversy

That is never a red card, he broke up play from the edge of his own box

Yellow at most

Oliver really does hate Arsenal and has an agenda against them :russ:

The amount of dodgy reds he has given them


In other news David Coote has come out as gay and blamed that as his excuse for using drugs :mjlol:

We've seen red given for less, did no one see the studs to the leg/shin in that foul? Do not see the issue with the red

I only saw a clip on sky sports and it didn't show it from all angles, so from what I saw it looked like a clip to the legs

I just thought it was harsh considering it was from the edge of the Arsenal box so he was only breaking up play

It wasn't preventing a goal scoring opportunity

Look, different refs have different opinions on what reds are
Coote didn't even think the Salah foul against Villa just before he lost his job was even a foul let alone a red

I have said it many times on here I think Oliver is an awful referee, one of the worst but for some reason is consider the best

He is this generations Howard Webb :hubie:

Spurs fan thinks it was a red :russ:Shock horror.

The boot slides down his shin and then the studs connect with the foot.
In real time its literally a flick of the boot and a glancing connection.

VAR always tries to justify a reason for why their decision could be right,
The better way to look at it is if that is given as a yellow, does VAR go the ref and suggest it should be a red? I think you know the answer.
No one even bats an eyelid if that is given as a yellow.

I know we all got tribalism but honestly you can't want that given as a red as a football fan.

Doku had his studs on MacAllister chest in the box last season and some how that challenge isn't seen as high and reckless foul play in the box by the same ref.

We gotta call out shyt decisions for whoever cause eventually it will come around to your team.

I seen Son break Gomes's leg for a "flick" tackle like that, and rightly got a red.

You are right though, it comes around - we deal with it though :ehh:Arsenal folk just like to moan about everything

Jist been catching up with Sunday’s games as I was on a flight for most of the matches,

Spazmus is fukking awful. He doesn’t seem to be making any real impact outside of scoring against whatever dross is in the Euro Conference. What the hell did they think they saw when scouting him and deciding that this was the guy they’d spend £75mn on?!

Now that Antony is on loan at Betis, I can see him starting to get some shyt from the crowd if he continues to be as shyt at this.

My god, Bin Bags spent an amazing amount of money on some of the worst technical footballers i’ve seen at United. Bravo!! Gutted he couldn‘t manage to hang on until this window to waste even more!!

Changing clubs, didn’t Chelsea buy about 15 keepers last year - surely Sanchez isn’t the best of the lot?! Kepa looks good again for Bournemouth, too. What scenes - love it. Can’t believe that there’s fans that want Maresca gone - fans!

I'm not convinced these responses from Amorim are necessary.

Hes prone to overreacting with the press

Called the team the WOAT in united history and walked it back ASAP

Rash def needed a reality check, shouldnt have publicly said hes ready to go, but Amorim is doin a little too much with these quotes at this point

Then again, he studied from the school of Mourinho

Agree, and I know he’s looked pretty awful in recent times, but Rashford is still one hell of a talent. Maybe he needs to start afresh at a new club, but, if I were the manager, I would be trying everything to get Rashford back to somewhere near his best form. I don’t want to start chucking shyt at the family, but Rashford seems poorly advised, too.

I know that Amorim speaks good English, but I sometimes wonder if a little bit of nuance gets lost in translation With foreign managers & players when interviewed right after games. He does seem to be letting it all out whenever there’s a microphone near him at the moment.
