zimpenfishAndy Robertson puts his hands around Saka's neck to push him over and ... nothing. PGMOL couldn't be a more obvious villain even if they were stroking a white cat and twirling a moustache. Praying that next season we get some fairness and transparency and competency from them because otherwise what's the point? <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/epl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/livars" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LIVARS</a>

zimpenfishI've heard some grim things in my time but Gary Neville pimping the proposed new Old Trafford stadium on behalf of INEOS is particularly distasteful. Not least because it was played at half-time when they're losing 0-1 to West Ham (but also because it is the most hideous football stadium design I've seen and INEOS have been sacking loyal servants of the club to save pennies when they're proposing to spaff two billion on a monstrosity.) <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/epl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/munwhu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MUNWHU</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/ineosout" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#INEOSOut</a>

zimpenfishJackson gets a straight red for a foul that multiple Liverpool players (and others, to be fair) have got away with this season (Nunez on de Ligt, van Dijk on several people, etc.) Again with the PGMOL thumb on the Newcastle and Liverpool scales.

zimpenfishSpookily, all three European ties tonight are currently 5-1 (on aggregate) to the English teams.

zimpenfishI did not have "harsh penalty against Arsenal but justice served by PSG completely wasting it with one of the absolute worst penalty kicks I've seen in the last 40 years" on my bingo card. Wasn't even Sunday League quality. Absolute FIFA bug level. (And there's the second for PSG as Arsenal's defence just ... vibes about.) <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/ucl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/psgars" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PSGARS</a>

zimpenfishArsenal have been watching United games in preparation for this PSG match. Unfortunately they've taken them as "what to do" tutorials instead of "absolutely do not play like this" warnings. Constantly giving the ball away, faffing about with tippy-tappy passes (which leads to #1) instead of just going forwards, occasional wild long passes with no-one on the end of them, etc. I reckon a PSG win is a foregone conclusion but I also wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal fail to score given their first 40 minutes (Donnarumma's heroics notwithstanding.) <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/ucl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/psgars" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PSGARS</a>

zimpenfishAnd there he's given Newcastle a free kick on the edge of the box for a blatant dive by a Newcastle player which then results in yet another penalty decision for Newcastle. Definitely a handball for the penalty but the free kick should never have been given in the first place. Absolutely criminal officiating and blatant thumb-scaling from PGMOL. <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/epl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/brinew" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BRINEW</a>

zimpenfishReferee desperately trying to give Newcastle a penalty but sadly the TV pictures keep scuppering the on-field decision. Still, he's let Newcastle kick Brighton all over the pitch for 70 minutes, he's doing his best to give them as much help as he can! <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/epl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/brinew" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BRINEW</a>

zimpenfishOof, Arsenal have been robbed by VAR there. Clear handball (well, elbow) from Evanilson for the goal (and it wasn't "handball in the build-up", it was "he scored with his elbow"!) Also several Bournemouth players should have had cards for their WWE approach to tackling. Also also Tavernier just kicked the ball away to stop a quick free kick ... without the mandatory yellow. Easy to see why Arsenal fans believe PGMOL have a vendetta against the team with decisions like this. <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/epl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/arsbou" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ARSBOU</a>

zimpenfishThe officials have done Fulham dirty today. Villa have got away with a whole bunch of fouls and then not stopping the play when Bassey got elbowed in the head? Luckily Villa didn't score from that otherwise we'd (correctly!) be hearing about it for months.

zimpenfishAbsolutely do not want City to win but we've seen plenty red cards the last few seasons for much less egregious "studs up on shin" incidents, going over the ball or not. Wolves should be down to 10. (No, I personally do not like that interpretation of the rules but United have been hit with it several times and all I want is consistency from PGMOL) <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/epl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/mciwol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MCIWOL</a>

zimpenfishAs usual, I was criminally wrong and HARRY MAGUIRE comes to the rescue (ok, via the heads of Ugarte and Casemiro.) Admittedly also helped by the daft penalty given away by Vivian (thought the red card was harsh though.) (But even down to 10, Bilbao are still showing more fight and control. Wouldn't put it past United to crumble and concede a couple. They really need to get it up to ... ok, well, that's 3-0 now and I am a DOUBLE FOOL.) <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/uel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UEL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/athmun" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATHMUN</a>

zimpenfishSame old nonsense. United get the ball up to Bilbao's area and ... then take it all the way back to their own half. Admittedly they did then get a non-goal with a not completely terrible move. But the passes are still wayward and players are still spending too long on the ball. It's going to be a miracle if they get something from tonight. (VAR took way too long to say that Garnacho was offside given that we could all see it from the initial pictures!) <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/uel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UEL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/athmun" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATHMUN</a>

zimpenfishThe officials are definitely on PSG's side tonight - they're diving all over the place and getting away with fouls that Arsenal are being penalised for. Can't see Arsenal getting anything from this match unless the officials start playing fair. <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/ucl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/arspsg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ARSPSG</a>

zimpenfishThe ref is letting a lot of Bournemouth's, let's say, "physicality" go. Going to be a miracle if Garnacho survives the match without injury given the (unpunished) kicking he's getting. Also the yellow card for the studs up challenge on Garnacho has been VAR'd to red many times this season. What's the point of playing if you're never sure from one game to the next what the officials are going to deem worthy of punishment? (Don't get me wrong - United have been absolute dross this season. The manager is out of his depth, his tactics are terrible, the players have no idea what they're doing, injuries have been unfortunate, etc. but there's definitely been a lot of dodgy decisions against them which has exarcebated the problems. Much like some teams have had a lot of dodgy decisions going for them. Probably nothing to do with PGMOL making up for a wildly incorrect offside decision from VAR last season though. Probably.) <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/football" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Football</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/sportsball" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportsBall</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/epl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPL</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.rjp.is/tag/boumun" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BOUMUN</a>
