For me it should be simple, the ball hits your hand, it's handball period That would make it more farcical, players would be trying to hit the ball onto a defenders hand to get a penalty. Good point

Only took Rachel Riley to say she'll quit supporting Manchester United if he stayed I must admit I've never heard of Rachel Riley but it does seem like the club were pretty much forced into the decision.

Can Arsenal do it on a Monday night against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park?
*Odegaard enters the stage*
Unless I'm mistaken the last time I remembered Palace losing against a team on a Monday night fixture was also against a London team (Fulham) back in 2013

That Podcast Mike Dean did with Simon Jordan has just confirmed everything we knew about these refs. They're so corrupt and brazen about it. Reading up on Clattenburg's story one time. I didn't know him and Martin Atkinson got into a fight once. Now thinking about it it does make sense as to why they were never each other's fourth spare referee in matches.

Really shows the level of refereeing in this country The PGMOL is really an old boys network and the general standard of refereeing leaves a lot to be desired. I can think of two glaring errors already this season, the MacAllister red card in the Liverpool v Bournemouth game that was subsequently overturned, why didn't VAR intervene at the time? And the clear penalty that Wolves didn't get at Old Trafford although they did later get an apology from the PGMOL,again why didn't VAR intervene at the time? The problem isn't VAR it's incompetent match officials, from what I saw of the Women's World Cup the refereeing including the use of VAR was very good.

I can't lie but if we play how we played against Fulham today with the top 6 sides. We will be finished. This season I'm not giving Arteta time. He's had enough time to perform and he's been backed.
Havertz must NOT start next week against united or Rashford and Fernandes will have a field day next week.
In other news West Ham FINALLY ended their streak against Brighton in the league.

Havertz must NOT start next week against united or Rashford and Fernandes will have a field day next week. In other news West Ham FINALLY ended their streak against Brighton in the league. A bit of an overeaction, I think Arsenal will be fine but as soon as Paulinha was in the line-up I thought it could be tricky (too good for Fulham). Arteta has the Pep style and mannerisms and can succeed (he has in more than one way). The only issue is the reluctance for this team to get a proper right back. Rice needs to contribute XHaka's goals and Arsenal seem to have an issue in the first minute of games as well as getting tired in the last 20 or so, and games will be longer this season. My earlier prediction of fewest ever PL clean sheets looks a certainty. Man Utd look a bit fraudulent and could get destroyed at the Emirates. Talking about streaks...Newcastle may never beat Liverpool ever again. Poch and Ange have had great impacts already. I must say that Ange is doing a remarkable job considering that he is only starting games with 9 men as the search for Son and Richarlison continues.

I must say that Ange is doing a remarkable job considering that he is only starting games with 9 men as the search for Son and Richarlison continues. Attacking wise we don't have an issue. Defensively we keep conceding needless goals. I thought we slyly did away with that from last season but clearly not. I've been very critical about Arteta for a few seasons now and this season he cannot say he has not been backed. So he needs to deliver this season. When I hear people say "It'S oNlY tHe BeGiNnInG oF tHe SeAsOn" I think they're talking rubbish because EVERY POINT MATTERS!!!! Regardless of if it's beginning of the season or the end. Those points dropped can be the difference for where everyone finishes come next year in May. It's gotten to the point that now City dropping points will be seen as a good week based on how everyone else is performing. I also forgot to add that last year when we came second. People thought we finished below City by 5 points. It was actually a 13 point swing that we lost by. So that's even worse when looking back at it. It could have been even more but City sandbagged their last two matches.

I know it's early days but Man Utd have had a poor start to the season! I wouldn't be surprised to see Ten Hag go by next summer however the managers always get the blame when this isn't the case and its the players that need improving.
