I was disappointed in some Gooners throughout last week. After the City game, our focus should have been on one of the greatest defensive performances in decades.
Our pride should have been apparent for a second half display we would have been incapable of producing for years.
Each and every player had earnt their standing ovation for leaving blood, sweat and tears on the pitch.
Yet, too much energy was wasted on conspiracy theories. There hasn’t been one explanation what the motive is, but there are those who exist who think that there is an agenda in English Football to stop Arsenal being successful.
Now if I make a choice to drive over the speed limit and get caught, I can’t in my defence argue that I witnessed over drivers get away with it.
As an adult I’m responsible for my actions.
Trossard last weekend made the choice to kick the ball away. He knew the rules and was aware he had already been booked.
He knew the consequences that potentially existed.
To deflect, a section of our fanbase analysed the entire 97 minutes to create a narrative that we had been harshly treated.
This included Doku kicking the ball back where the official asked, Haaland throwing the ball at Gabriel, and even last season’s fixture where Kovacic wasn’t shown a second yellow because the same ref ‘didn’t want to ruin the game’.
Should officiating be better? Of course,
Should we tolerate inconsistencies? No.
Yet there remains a huge difference between someone being bad at their jobs compared to deliberately sabotaging a team.
Yet in an era where content is available 24 hours, some now seem to want to scrutinize every decision being made.
AFTV have asked viewers to send in any instances they see of a player escaping sanctions for delaying a restart so they can compile a list proving how we get treated different.
Conveniently examples of when the Gunners benefit from incompetence has not been requested.
Because if that happened you could quickly prove that the idea that referees are corrupted makes little sense. Logically certain calls wouldn’t happen if ulterior motives existed.
Take this Saturday.
Already on a yellow Riccardo Calafiori trips Buonanotte, preventing a clear Leicester attack.
Maybe on this afternoon Sam Barrot had the ethos of not wanting to ruin the spectacle by putting us down to 10 men?
You know….just like Micheal Oliver’s’ thought process regarding Kovavic
I notice readers haven’t rushed to point out this inconsistency, nor has it been mentioned by YouTubers.
Yet you can’t have it both ways.
Steve Cooper said, ‘it’s a little beyond belief’ that our defender stayed on the pitch.
All of the Match of The Day pundits agreed.
So, is there a conspiracy against the Foxes?
I’m interested to see how many influencers admit in the next few days that this was a clear example of poor officiating benefitting us.
I guess Mr Barrot isn’t part of the agenda?

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
it was actually good officiating and consistent with how they have said they will increase the threshold this season, Thomas partey was in position so it was not a breakaway and not stopping a promising attack in their definition. there have been 2/3 examples of this already this season when players have been on yellow cards and made the same challenge and no 2nd yellow card,
What is this in reference to?
In some cases the referees try to keep the game flowing and do not brandish a card for every infringement. This includes overlooking instances where certain players kick the ball away.
This may be fine as it is not always necessary for players to be booked.
However, in previous weeks we have been told that the referees “had no choice” but to give second yellow cards to Arsenal players who in their view were delaying the restart of the game. For many Arsenal fans this kind of explanation is hogwash.
You can tell it’s a “slow news day” when we have this debate regurgitated in yet another guise. Can’t we move on?
The final whistle has been blown; the game is finished. It makes not the slightest difference – just as with the previous game against City. Nor will it have any relevance to the standard of officials for the next game against Southampton.
Depends mate
If a Leicester player got away with it , it would be pointed out as another decision against us
Dan, a Leicester player did indeed get away with it ! Oliver Skipp, already on a yellow card, first commited a bad foul on Martinelli, and then in Saka ! His first yellow card was in the first half, and the foul on Martinelli was also in the first half.
Cool and that should be shared
What im not going to do is only mention when Arsenal get bad decisions and not point out the other way round
But you didn’t, did you. You just made it out that it was The Arsenal who could have had a player sent off, no mention of Skipp.
Because we have established decisions go against Arsenal
The accusation is a conspiracy against us
So by that logic , our defender would have been sent off ?
No, the accusation is inconsistently.
And also I don’t mention things that are not true lol
Are you saying that I’m not telling the truth about Skipp ?
Yes
I can’t debate with someone who just makes things up
There’s a horrible tackle by Skipp in the first half and you think he should be sent off because he was on a yellow?
I haven’t lied at all, all I’ve said is that if Calafori should have been sent off, which is what you have insinuated in the article, then so should Skipp !
You said Skipp made a bad foul in the first half while already on a yellow
Sorry, my mistake. He was booked just after Calafori was booked. Still doesn’t take away the fact that if Calafori should’ve seen red, as you insinuated, then Skipp should also have seen red for his foul on Saka.
So these bad tackles in the first half were not when Skipp was booked ?
You just made it up lol
As I already posted, I made a mistake, not like you haven’t got things wrong in the past, pmsl.
it will have relevance if oliver is allowed to continue ref Arsenal games despite his clear corruption. Mirror ran an article today detailing his bias against us and for man city whilst failing to mention he’s been paid by their owners.
I don’t think at Arsenal we are asking for any favour from the referees. If a referees are wrong they are wrong and if they are right they are right. They must look at the bad tackles especially on Saka
Oh it’s Dan. Have a nice day.
Thanks mate and cheers for taking the time to read my article then comment lol
Have a great day
Dan,
Have you considered what a law truly represents? If a law is applied selectively, can it really be considered a law at all? For instance, would you argue that the law regarding a yellow card for delay hasn’t been applied selectively? If you believe it has, then should a law that is selectively enforced really stand? Perhaps it should instead be left to the discretion of the referee, much like the varying severity of tackles that lead to yellow and red cards.
In my opinion, the concept of delaying a restart is subjective and should not be formalized as a law. Indeed, it is subjective since it has been given as a card to some players and not to others. Hence, not formalizing it as a law might also help reduce the number of conspiracy theories surrounding the issue.
Moreover, I don’t think expending valuable energy writing against others’ opinions about conspiracy theories is worthwhile. Everyone is entitled to their views. If some choose to focus on conspiracy theories, it seems counterproductive to expend similar energy trying to refute them.
Cheers!
I never get this ridiculous talk about “Referees, the Media and the FA etc having a bias against Arsenal. It’s people that want to be victims in every aspect of their life. Everyone and everything is always against them. Smh.
And it’s not just our own fans that have this victimhood mentality. On each and every Fan forum for any given club you always come across this exact thing.
On the Man United fans forums, their fans think that the media, Referees etc are biased againsts them because they are the biggest club in the world.
Liverpool fans same thing.
Chelsea and Man City fans always say: “The media, Referees, the FA, UEFA etc are all biased against them because they came in and distracted the traditional clubs authority.
Aston villa, Tottenham, West Ham etc fans think that the football world is against them because they dare challenges the establishment (Top clubs). They think the all the bad refereeing decision are done on purpose against them in order to maintain the status quo (Top clubs). For example, Just go and read some of the Spurs comments on the Spurs fans forums: They seriously believe that the Media, Referees and FA have been trying to help Arteta win the title since 2022. That the referees are deliberately giving us favourable decisions or letting us get away with everything.
Smh🤦♂️
In my day there was one rule. The referees decision is final, so let’s get on with game.
why was oliver picked when his previous record is so above average bad for Arsenal and below average good for city and it’s been publically document he got paid by the City owners to ref in their country. Why?
mirror ran article detailing Oliver’s bias against Arsenal and for City whilst not mention the public knowledge of him being paid to ref in the country that owns City. Why? UAE sovereign wealth fund ofc.
Maybe it’s because he reffs in Saudi Arabia…….City are not from there lol
Again ….lies
And to be honest many people on here have come up with their own conspiracy theories since Arteta showed up.
There is one very famous Conspiracy Theory that many still believe or will still push to this day. About one “Shirt Selling Genius”.
People are always looking to be victims or look for someone / something to label as a victim.
🤦♂️
You know what’s the biggest conspiracy of it all?
The Referees that have undertaken the biggest responsibility of officiating matches in the best football league in the world, are poor at it.
Calafiori was lucky not to be sent off. I wonder what the ref would say about that. But the ref also didn’t send off Ndidi when he kicked the ball away and he was already booked prior.
Also did you see the Chris Kavanaugh exempt Ugarte and Mazaroui when they kicked the ball away delaying the restart but booked Brennan for the same offense that game? And Kavanaugh gave second yellow for a feather touch on the ball. Call it what you will man. Conspiracy or deliberate inconsistency. Just semantics at this point. But the bigger conspiracy will be to believe that they are just incompetent.
I have asked the questions and have never got an answer. So tell me
Why is the conspiracy against Arsenal?
Who is organising it?
How do they recruit the right people?
Who/what is/are gaining from it?
Why has it not been picked up by the media? I look forward to yours and anyone elses, enlightening answers.
Answers to every question you asked are themselves conspiracies, haha.
This will never end unless referees start applying rules consistently across similar cases and are trained to make uniform judgments. With VAR available, it shouldn’t be that difficult. If referees can’t make accurate decisions with God literally watching every play from above, then what’s the point? The time wasted on controversial decisions when players surround the ref could be better spent consulting VAR or reviewing the on-pitch screen.
Why aren’t such conspiracies a big issue in sports like cricket? Because the reviews are thorough and technology minimizes errors. Why can’t football adopt the same approach?
Instead, subjective judgments dominate, making me question the purpose of VAR. I don’t mind the conspiracies as much as the lack of transparency. Similar incidents are treated differently, and while managers and players face scrutiny from journalists, referees are shrouded in secrecy like some bizarre cult.
So, like I said, you didn’t answer the questions.
I don’t think you understand the word “Conspiracy”. If there were actual answers to these questions, would that still be a conspiracy?
Let me ask you a simple question, if there were no inconsistencies in decision-making and the decisions are well explained and if the media could question the officials about their inconsistencies, would there be conspiracies?
There would be answers, and those might include the answers to your questions too,
So a conspiracy is not based on any fact ar all? Can i take my tracker out of my arm now from my covid jab? 🤣
Conspiracy is based on conjectural evidence, sometimes just circumstantial, or other times, just working out patterns that support the idea.
Haven’t you taken out your tracker already? Too late now.
Hardest thing In life is to look in the mirror and take responsibility for our failures
Easier to blame
Reflects society
We haven’t won a title in 2 decades because we have not been good enough
Easier to blame others
Football is a sport, and entertainment is at its core. When referees and officials dominate conversations instead of players, managers, and tactics, it detracts from the entertainment value.
Players and managers can follow your advice, but fans support their clubs passionately. Personally, I am self-critical, but when watching football, I want the focus to be on the game, not the referees.
Ignoring inconsistent decisions will only allow them to persist. These issues need to be addressed and discussed openly. Clubs should be able to talk about refereeing decisions without secrecy. VAR should assist referees in making the right calls and explaining them to the public. Fans deserve transparency. It’s simple—it’s about entertainment.
uae interests.
uae
using stats and already existing bias
uae and city by proxy, refs by financial gain
it has been but nobody in media wants to make a big thing of it because thats a bad enemy to have. They still have documented the refs being paid in the uae
Before you make comments on like this, see how many times the ex spurs man (skipp) committed leg breaking tackles and was only punished on the third foul…
Their player also obstructed a throw in at a time, and I don’t want to talk about the Ndidi case.
My point is that calafiori did not much wrong to be sent off, especially as the first yellow was harsh
But the point is mate if there was a conspiracy he doesn’t get away with it ?
I can’t argue against supporters from every club thinking their team is on the wrong end of decisions.
What does surprise me, and I looked into it a little bit, is that some referees get to oversee the same clubs on a regular basis (other refs also have clubs they referee more than others too).
By all accounts, referees who support a particular club never officiate on them. Likewise, a Liverpool supporting referee will also not work on Everton matches. This reduces the pool of referees for various matches and at least tries to eliminate any suggestion of bias.
So my view is that incompetence is the key word. If you’re incompetent then you are likely to be inconsistent in your thought processes
Some people on here (before they judge) should try refereeing. Yes, you will find your are inconsistent, Yes you will make mistakes and Yes everyone of you would be called a cheat or a child of an unmarried mother. Not one person on here would be able to handle it. Because it is a very hard job. That doesn’t mean, they should be excused for having a bad game. But what should be considered is. It isn’t only us!!!!!!
Nail on the head reggie
Can’t VAR help resolve this issue? It could reduce the hostility towards referees and officials when they make controversial decisions or when they don’t make the right call. Even when the right call is made, fans often react negatively simply because their team was on the losing end of the decision. VAR could help mitigate these reactions by providing clear, consistent reviews. Why doesn’t that happen? And why are different scenarios treated differently? It should be a fairly easy task with VAR being able to watch every action happening on the pitch.
VAR is deliberately set up to protect the PGMOL in this country why it operates weirdly. Its why the clear obvious has been pushed so there is an excuse for the bias “wasn’t clear and obvious”. Gives the refs the power to either give a pen or red card that won’t get rescinded or ignore the exact same thing that wont get given by var which is obviously insane but that is how it is set up now. Same reason they do not get involved in 2nd yellows despite it making sense for them to do so because then the refs can still be biased there. Lot of money in football.
That is why VAR should function properly yet is hamstrung to justify these controversial decisions instead of fixing it. The only reason why they’d do that is for money or power which are linked regardless.
Dan if I may ask:
Do you think majority of Arsenal fans believe refs are biased?
Bias and or inconsistence in referring you say, other teams go through the same , that’s you accepting a problem, so why don’t you address the elephant in the room and often concentrate on what I consider a minority opinion?
You often say Arsenal fans tend to be arrogant, and want us to be humble, Guess you haven’t met rival fans more so Manchester United and Chelsea you will know how humble we are.!
Now will you pleas tell me if you truly think We are arrogant and why so considering you said that in general?
I know you always want to proof a point and your articles do generate quite some debate! But article after article trying to proof a point, to a minority me thinks that energy should be channeled to discussions on how to improve referees and why with the help of technology we are still getting wrong decisios
Again though mate doesn’t that reflect society
Last week we want to have a discussion about there being an agenda against Arsenal ( didn’t see you ask for that to be stopped ) but moment it is highlighted that we escape a red card , you don’t want to talk about it anymore lol
And if a big decision went against us would you say the same ?
So does every foul warrant a red card now! To be clear I have never said their is a conspiracy nor agenda . You are completely ignoring my questions and the bigger picture. VAR was brought in to help the referees why are we having more inconsistencies ?
Kenya001, you will find that Dan rarely answers a direct question put to him and your point about var is an example.
Dan seems to think that any decision that favours The Arsenal, negates any suggestion of any individual referee not involved in that game as not being biased in any way.
I think Mr Oliver has the right idea – don’t penalise anyone, as it might affect the game as a spectacle….. unless it’s you know who!! 🤔😂
It will be interesting Ken1945 if Dan were to answer direct questions , and you are right he’s is good at diverting. How I wish he could first answer and there after ask a question! Then debates / opinions won’t be back and forth .
Regardless of topic Dan never directly answers it’s my biggest frustration with him because he’s not stupid and doesn’t lack opinions but just refuses to ever debate never mind in good faith just refuses to actually engage the topic and always steers or just sarcastically responds.
No but if there was a conspiracy he would have been sent off
explain olivers record, his history of being paid to go to the uae and why he was selected for the match against City when this was all public?
He went Saudi Arabia not UAE
And Olivers record is a coincidence, zero proof of a conspiracy
The only way to solve this problem, is for the PGMOL to allow the referees the privilege to explain their decisions.
For instance, wouldn’t it be wonderful to know why Mr Oliver decided to keep eleven city115 players on the field in order not to harm the game – but decided to do the complete opposite at the very next opportunity he had, when not keeping eleven Arsenal players on the field?
Or why Mr Oliver decided to give two yellow cards to Martinelli, something no other referee had done before or since, including Mr Oliver himself?
Or why Mr Oliver has never sent off a city115 player in over 45 games refereeing them?
Of course, if Mr Oliver had actually followed the rule book, he would have sent Kovacic off, but, in that instance, he didn’t want to harm the spectacle of the game!!
Now, if only the PGMOL would allow, or even instruct their referees to explain such decisions as Mr Oliver has made above, then we, the footballing public would, at the very least, would be able to see why such puzzling decisions are made.
Now you note, I hope, that I have used Mr Oliver in all of my examples and there is a reason for this.
Mr Oliver has been invited out to referee matches in the far East and received, reportedly £20k a match, travelling first class.
I’m not certain, but I think his team that is used for PL matches accompanied him on these trips and were also treated in the same manner.
We all know the links between city115 and the far East and one has to wonder why the PGMOL would allow Mr Oliver, considered by some to be our best referee, to be put in the situation where such situations raise concerns about his suitability to referee ANY game involving city115 OR any of the other teams challenging city115 for the PL title.
The article tries to use examples that involve all PL referees, but Dan has repeatedly failed to address my points regarding Mr Oliver.
Reggie asks why would there be an agenda against The Arsenal – it’s as plain as the nose on my face – city and it’s owners want success and it’s obvious that The Arsenal are threatening the success that city115 have had since the takeover in 2008.
What’s the easiest way to ensure that success continues?
Well, 115 charges of breaking the rules might be a starting point wouldn’t you say?
To think that any institution that governs, sentences and police it’s members is squeeky clean, is absurd – as we know from the days of Blatter, Platini and all the other FIFA officials, referees, managers and players who have been caught cheating.
I would love to think that the PGMOL would be the first institution to be found to be squeeky clean, but until they become more transparent, tighten the rules for their members and step out from this cloak of secrecy, ALL football fans will question their motives, decisions and, what they see as cover ups.
One can keep on saying referees are not good enough, inconsistent etc etc but that’s not good enough for the best league in the world.
On an average of £100k a season, they SHOULD be good enough and they SHOULD be consistent and, in my opinion, the PGMOL itself isn’t good enough for the game.
By the way, I was a referee and it is a thankless job, but so are many other trades and if your not good enough you get sacked!!
Califiori should have been sent off and I’m sure Mr Oliver would have done so without a moments hesitation and not worried one iota about how it affected the game!!
But if there was an agenda surely Calafiori gets red carded ?
The fact that Calafiori did not get a red card is not proof that there is no agenda.
Of course it does,
Also proves we benefit from bad officiating as much as it hurts us
It amazes me how supposedly intelligent people who have the skills to operate their phones, computers and tablets to debate an issue actually believe there’s a conspiracy orchestrated by a corrupt secret society to defame, discredit and degrade their football club.
You remember there was a time when the existence of Mafia was considered a myth and a conspiracy.
Conspiracies are a byproduct of human intelligence and intuition rather than dumbness.
In fact, Jax, shouldn’t you be worried that without adequate transparency and coherent explanations, you are willing to believe there is nothing to it? Suspicion is a part of human intelligence that stems from critical thinking and survival mechanism.
I have no worries Daulat, as I’m hardly likely to meet these people in public where I might fear for my personal wellbeing.
From the mirror today.
According to data compiled by Bonus Code Bets prior to the most recent round of matches, Oliver gives more red cards to Arsenal per game than any other team in the Premier League. In 53 matches, the Northumberland-born referee has dismissed seven Gunners stars, meaning that an Arsenal player has been sent off in 13% of the matches he’s taken charge of.
Furthermore, Oliver gives yellow cards to Arsenal players at a higher-than-average rate, with the Gunners receiving 1.77 bookings per game compared to the 1.63 average of all top-flight matches the official has managed.
By contrast, Oliver has never sent off a Manchester City player, despite refereeing matches involving the club 47 times. The Citizens are also on the receiving end of just 1.36 yellow cards per game when Oliver is in charge.
When it comes to straight-up fouls it’s the same story. On average, City commit 9.45 fouls in Oliver fixtures, while Arsenal commit 11.02, with the league average standing at 10.85. The 39-year-old has also pointed to the spot more against Arsenal (0.25 penalties per game) than he has against City (0.17).
“Arsenal fans are well known for complaining about refereeing decisions not going their way, but our research suggests they may have a point here,” a spokesperson for Bonus Code Bets said. ”If no one remembered your birthday, make sure to show up at an Arsenal game that Michael Oliver is in charge of – there will be plenty of cards there!”
It’s interesting that you should mention Oliver coming from Northumberland, as I’ve previously said that many Northerners have a dislike of most things from the south and particularly London, and the majority of PL refs are from the north. I think it’s personal hate issue by some of them.
It’s a clear bias that is statistically provable over a large period of time north v south. The bigger concern is someone like Oliver getting paid to travel to the UAE to ref at great expense (are refs a draw? since when?) to the country who own Man City when these stats on him exist.
even bigger concern is after this was revealed he still gets picked to ref Man City v Arsenal.
I’m sure Man City owners are from UAE and not Saudi Arabia where Oliver got paid to referee..I don’t think his earnings outside the Premier League are related to his poor performances.
Didn’t about Saudi which is even more concerning but it was 100% well documented fact he was paid to ref in the UAE this came out last year.
NYTimes
Independant
Mirror
Telegraph
Do i need to go on.
know about saudi*
You’re right I didn’t know of his UAE job, thought it was just Saudi.
I wasn’t ranting for no reason as much as variant people want to pretend.
why are you trying to defend it? its a clear conflict of interest and he should never be in any major games for City as a result. Strong argument he shouldn’t be in any Liverpool (who he’s also made “mistakes” against) or Arsenal games as well.
Defend what?
Your overall position was based on your ignorance (not an insult, you didn’t know) and as such your posts were defending all the above which should not need explaining at this point.
My overall position is that it’s a personal thing with Oliver, with no pressure from PGMOL or from UAE or Saudi Arabia. If he feels an obligation to those people then it needs to be proven.
What? Make it make sense please
I asked someone to look up the facts regarding Mr Oliver and his Arsenal stats, as I knew if I gave them, Dan etc would say I was claiming a conspiracy.
Well done Angus!!
My concern all along has been the stats relating to one man, despite Dan not acknowledging that fact.
Then one has to take it one step further, by recognising that the PGMOL have allowed Mr Oliver to participate in refereeing in a foreign country, who has contacts with city115.
Just read those figures again and ask yourselves if these are not, at the very minimum, cause for concern?
We have seen first hand on two occasions how Mr Oliver has refereed in a way that benefited city115 against our club when the situation arose.
My opinion is that we have a bad apple in the barrel and, with the leader turning a blind eye, the rest of the barrel is then put under the spotlight.
Finally, the media is starting to wake up with regards to Mr Oliver and not before time!!
Jax – you read Halsey’s autobiography and notes how he refused to sign a no disclosure form. Why would that be in your opinion?
Thank you, I don’t ever expect people to believe me on my subjective opinions even if I’m just as passionate about them as this but this is not subjective it’s clearly wrong.
But it’s lies
He reffed in Saidia Arabia
Nothing to do with City
So Ken you do believe it’s a conspiracy?
I bekiece Mr Oliver should be investigated with reference to his stats and decisions regarding city115 and The Arsenal.
I also believe that the PGMOL should be questioned as to why they allowed Mr Oliver to go out and referee a match that had obvious ties with a PL club.
If YOU want to call it a conspiracy, that’s your perogative – I call it common sense and transparency Dan.
The link is the Abu Dauby United group with city115 Dan, so it’s not all lies.
Found the link yet Dan?
Ken, in my opinion Halsey most likely decided he’d make more money from an autobiography without any pre-conditions by PGMOL
Why do you think the PGMOL need to insist on a no disclosure condition Jax?
I wouldn’t know Ken. It was a Mike Riley thing, so who can say.
No opinion Jax?
Seemed just part of all the pointless secrecy Riley installed.
No opinion Jax?
Sorry Jax, that question appeared twice!!
You are adamant in saying there there is no conspiracy theory, but seem to have no idea why a non disclosure form has to be signed.
What could there possibly be that the PGMOL want to stay secret?
By the way, Riley introduced it, but why hasn’t it been rescinded?
Great game going on by the way. Had to put my ticket up for sale and got £27 back!!
I don’t see how the two are connected Ken. How do you know if the NDA has not been rescinded? Not that it makes any difference to the Oliver situation.. Yes good win,
Why defending UAE/City/Pgmol/Oliver still? In the context of your convo with me followed by your convo with Ken. Make it make sense.
Now you’re confusing me. I’m not discussing this any more today.
Maybe we just lost you and you couldn’t read what was written that’s fine. Take a day reread come back with your own opinion not someone else’s.
Ken, I don’t think that they’re still signing NDA’s, as Mike Dean made that statement about refusing to send the wrong decision to VAR to help his mate Anthony Taylor after he had retired. So I suppose that’s progress of a sort.
Welcome to my world Ken, hard when you see it and have reasearched it. This applies larger that Football.
I have been on Mr Oliver’s case for a long while now, especially when Dan started his crusade against Arsenal fans who were suggesting the PGMOL needed accountability and transparency.
I really do believe that Mr Oliver needs to be questioned about his record and stats when it comes to The Arsenal.
Jax, who I respect for his views, says it needs to be proven if anything untoward has taken place, but if the PGMOL hide behind this cloak of secrecy, what chance is there of doing that?
Apply this logic to your whole life and all media you consume it’ll be brutal once you do research yourself on those you’ve been told to hate but worth it ultimately.
As to this it’s insane it’s not the number 1 topic everywhere and I dont know what to say outside that given you already see it.
Scandal of the year if sky wanted it right?
Not someone elses opinion?
I’m not changing my original opinion that Oliver may have a personal issue with Arsenal.
But he does need to be properly investigated for receiving money from the owners of another PL club, as do the other three (I think) referees that went out there.
With has writing, Dan has convinced me that Arsenal is treated unfairly. I wonder who this guy Dan is, perhaps he’s part of the plot. He’s constantly writing about a narrative I don’t know anything about. Do this guy have an agenda?
Lol
I’m part of the plot
Now we know who’s behind all this😂
Yes, there’s no doubt anymore 😂
You’ve broken the 100 comments barrier Dan, well done👏.
