It's like a cult.

Pfft - nothing of the sort. Deluded. It's tribal just like any other football team but again the process failed because of incompetence of those officiating. Listening to the white noise around it as usual to justify your hatred of Liverpool.

Stonking result for Newcastle! Genuinely nearly typed Falcons there.

I've always quite liked Newcastle but hard to get behind them since the Saudi's brought them. Still, impressive 4 points from their first 2 games in the group of death.

England and Man Utd legend Charlton dies aged 86

Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the key players in England's 1966 World Cup victory and a Manchester United legend, dies at the age of 86.

RIP Bobby Charlton. Only 1 member of the 1966 team remaining: Sir Geoff Hurst.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

RIP. A name that was known across the world before the game really went global.

Poor Bobby would be spinning in his grave.

Arsenal call for PGMOL to 'urgently address' standards

Arsenal urge the PGMOL to "urgently" look at refereeing standards as the club support Mikel Arteta's comments after the 1-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle.

www.bbc.co.uk

At least it's not Liverpool complaining about VAR and the ref.

It's almost like they might have had a point

Absolutely shameful from Arteta and AFC. At least Klopp and LFC had a genuine reason to be ****** off (even though the way they reacted was poor) Arteta has nothing to moan about. That Newcastle goal wasn't even that controversial. But this is the can of worms that's been opened this season. Sad to see. I hope they hit Arteta with a hefty fine and give him a long touchline ban as well.

Last night's game was great. Man U fans like Mark Goldbridge and ex Man U players screaming it was never a red but after Curtis Jones and Romero got red carded for theirs can't say it wasn't consistent.

Apart from that Man U falling apart after the sending off. Didn't think Man U pen was one given it came off of Maguire's fingers first.

I can't believe Arteta hasn't been banned and fined. What a joke. I guess it's ok to say what he said but it shouldn't be. He's such a unlikeable guy.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

What a game between Chelsea and City.

Ouch! Maybe Luton, Burnley, Sheffield U have a chance to stay up.

Are they serious? Chelsea, Man City etc all pumping millions into their clubs and they go after Everton? Not saying they did nothing wrong, but they're telling us others haven't done worse?

This is a box the premiership might have wanted to stay closed. What a comically organisation they are.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Are they serious? Chelsea, Man City etc

Hopefully their punishment is forthcoming.

very, very late in the day if so. They've been at it for years haven't they? This feels like they've gone for the weaker team instead of the big ones who will probably fight a lot harder.

Chelsea and City most likely have more expensive legal teams who will find loopholes and ways of stalling.

Weren't Chelsea signing players on like 8-10 year contracts to get around it?
