Kai Havertz has goals against Liverpool at Anfield, against City at Etihad, against PSG in the UCL final. Not to mention the winner against Burnley that won us the Premier league. Think he deserves more respect.

New: UN investigators find that the UAE hired Colombian mercenaries to fight in Sudan's civil war. Amid ongoing PL case, this, from May, looks at why there are calls for #MCFC owner Sheikh Mansour to face sanctions over his alleged role in the conflict: nytimes.com/athletic/7242938…

You're crazy if you don't think this was intentional. There's history there. I'd expect a retrospective ban

Last year they downplayed us by saying set-piece and dark arts and now its boring football. Bet your house they would swap their entire squad & manager and his dog for ours. Dishonest discourse to downplay our dominance. 14/15 wins. We are unreal.

Within hours of the City verdict, the Foreign Office circulated a ‘line to take’ to its UAE ambassador and Downing Street staff, ITV reports. That alone does not prove interference. But the diplomatic sensitivity is clear. City denies wrongdoing and is appealing. Full transparency matters. xitter.gq/itvnews/status/2119148…

Their heads are completely gone. Arsenal incorrectly not given a penalty and they're claiming it proves the refs favour them. I've honestly never seen irrational headloss like this. What is it about Arsenal that drives them completely loony? ! 😅
Today in Arsenal vs Hull, VAR recommended the referee to check this shirt pull on Havertz for a penalty, a foul that happened to Isak last week and VAR chose to ignore. However, with this week and the foul being on Arsenal, VAR decided it was necessary to intervene... VAR were so desperate to get Arsenal a penalty, they never even bothered to check if Havertz was onside, he wasn't and luckily the refree on the field noticed and didn't give the penalty... How on earth is VAR getting involved to give offside players penalties 😭

I am looking at Law 11.2 and I am not sure that the offside rule was applied correct here. He is offside but being offside isn't a crime by itself and there is a specific clause that addresses this situation.

I thought they had misapplied the law when I saw them deny the penalty for offside. Sadly, it’s not a surprise that they don’t know the laws given the incredibly poor calibre of @prorefofficial

It is going to be very controversial if Arsenal do not win this game against Hull. Kai Havertz should have got a VAR penalty regardless of the offside. #ARSHUL

When 115 charges turn into a $30 Billion national hostage negotiation, you realize this was never just about football. ​Threatening to pull UK state investments the moment an independent commission finds financial rule breaches is the ultimate admission of guilt. ​If the evidence is truly "irrefutable," why exert geopolitical leverage on the British government to force a settlement ​You didn't beat the charges, you bought the immunity
🚨 BREAKING: Sheikh Mansour has reportedly rejected a proposed $30 BILLION UAE investment deal with the UK government, covering major housing and oil-sector projects. Sources claim the proposal could be reconsidered following the final outcome of Man City's 115 charges, with the UAE reportedly unwilling to move forward until the matter is resolved. Meanwhile, the UK government has allegedly signalled its desire for the case to be concluded before December 14. Now City fans know how this one is likely to end.

Liverpool have committed more fouls this season than any other team in the Premier League. Arsenal are joint 17th. Liverpool rank joint fourth in the league for yellow cards. Arsenal are joint 17th and Liverpool have one red card to Arsenal's none. Arsenal's highest entry in the most fouls committed by a player in the league is Myles Lewis Skelly at 34th, joint with Szoboszlai. There are four Liverpool players who have committed more than MLS. This is fan fic nonsense.
Sunday merely served to reinforce the belief that Liverpool as a team are far too nice. There’s a difference between being streetwise and cheating. It wasn’t pretty, but Arsenal produced a masterclass in the former in the second half on Sunday. Andoni Iraola was clear post-match that there will be a change of approach. He will tell his players to start going to ground when they are impeded in the box. It’s a sad state of affairs, but needs must. 📝 @JamesPearceLFC 🔗 bit.ly/3V3E2BJ

Virgil van Dijk, this you? And this, btw, was deemed NOT to be a penalty. Worse than even Timber's incident.

Fwiw I still think this is a pen. But I do wonder if Isak didn't appeal because he didn't really feel it did much. Shirt stretched and maybe he didn't feel much impeded in his jump. And it's only when he watches back he realises how much of a pen it looks on camera...
Rather than dive… Couldn’t he have just appealed for it? No-one even turned to the ref. Clear pen. Weird reaction from Liverpool players.

I'm aware I'm being one of 'those' fans, but MotD start the coverage with the goal...so we have no idea that Liverpool really might/ought to have been down to 10 men in the first 10 minutes
