I actually don’t mind this idea.

I’m Irish and I watch a lot of Gaelic football and the black card is the exact equivalent of this. They use it really well I believe, where cynical fouls as in stopping attacks and hard tackles that aren’t necessarily reds.

The difference is in Gaelic football it is 15 v 15 and with 4 extra players on the field teams won’t hide back and defend as much as they likely would here.

I would say it deserves a trial, as in next season’s Carabao Cup where the stakes are lower we could see how it plays out.

This month only Burnley Spurs and Fulham haven’t gotten points. Fulham still have a game to play though.

Maybe they could be championship contenders not premier league contenders.

Literally just switched on the telly and Lo Celso scores I’ll do the world a favour and stop watching

I can’t believe this but I genuinely hate Newcastle more than Chelsea, Joelinton and Bruno G can just smack everyone they want in the head, oil money is too strong.

but we could …

Not only directly getting decisions, but the challenging teams around them Arsenal and Liverpool having plenty of decisions going against them.

Don’t think it should’ve been a red, but based on what we’ve seen this season with Vieira, Disasi and Curtis Jones it should be.

Inconsistency in decisions is all I want please refs.

Kiwior always does a job for you, he’s so consistent but not yet top level. Has that Tomiyasu/White/Gabriel level of consistency with the potential of excellence of Saliba too. Could be one of Arteta’s best signings in time. But as for now I’d still reserve him for cups and lower league sides.

Fuck me this makes the Sheffield game look close.
