       Premier League football at its best...and worst
       An enthralling game with too many incidents to dissect
       individually.
       I don't believe Mr Oliver got every decision correct (who does)
       - but I think he got the big ones correct. Let's put the
       question back to the players.
       "Why did you do that?"
       For what its worth, I feel very few referees in world football
       could have kept that match under control...thankfully our best
       referee is one of them

       Sorry I’m not buying that, Doku kicked it away he delayed the
       restart therefore should of been booked, Trossard was just
       stupid why haven’t we learned, and Haaland was very lucky to
       escape punishment to for a number of incidents notably throwing
       the ball at Gabriel’s head, there’s just no consistency and it I
       feel although I agree with the 2nd yellow for Trossard was
       correct we are being targeted this season by the officials and
       the PGMOL, I haven’t seen any other team or player booked for
       kicking the ball away or delaying a restart and I’m pretty sure
       it happens in all games, but we are the only ones being punished

       So far this season I have attended 13 games live both at League
       2 and Premier League level. I have seen a number of yellow cards
       for delaying the restart of play. To suggest that only Arsenal
       are getting punished for this offence is, with respect, foolish.

       We can all have our opinions which is fair enough, but even
       myself, as an Arsenal fan, can’t moan at the second yellow.
       Everyone moaning about Oliver being crap all over socials is
       just bonkers! We failed to hang on to three points.
       Doku held onto the ball for three seconds and Oliver said pass
       it back so he did, to the position it was meant to be taken so
       never delayed the restart so can’t be booked.
       My only thing that I think Oliver got wrong was not booking
       Haaland for causing a caffafel after the goal where he threw the
       ball at Gabriel and causing everyone to push and shove each
       other but other than that don’t think Oliver got much wrong,
       considering how easily another official could have lost it,
       proving again and again  why he’s our top official

       Why have the FA said that no further action will be taken on any
       of the incidents in the game given that:
       1. Virtually all of the City team surrounded the referee after
       the first Arsenal goal
       2. The massive confrontation at the end of the game between both
       sets of players.
       What has happened to the charge of "failing to control the
       players"?
       Also why was Guardiola not booked for kicking his seat (with
       force) in the dugout?

       By the way, just seen a Fleetwood player booked on the telly for
       delaying the restart by messing with the ball.  It’s happening
       every week and the players are too stupid to learn the lesson.

       The players, particularly above supply, know exactly what
       they're doing.

       I like him, but let’s face it Oliver was poor on Sunday.
       Correct in Law for the Red for Trossard. I support Arsenal and
       no complaints for me
       He deliberately booted the ball away, so the Red was easy.
       But first 20 seconds Harvertz should have gone in the book he
       knew what he was doing, you cannot manage that.
       3rd minute - Haaland should of gone in the book for something
       similar.
       By the 25th minute he for me failed to caution 5 Mandatory
       offences.
       Did this make the game more of a spectacle ??? No, it showed
       again that aggression and aggressive play should be adopted by
       more teams as refs won’t deal with it.
       Compared to Gillett excellent handling of Arsenal v Spurs the
       other week, this by Oliver was like 5 steps backwards.
