In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Plenty of people criticized Real Madrid for their “anti-football” tactics at Etihad last year but Arsenal doing it is presumably brilliant stuff.
Imagine complaining that this isn't a yellow card offence ?
Both managers are cnuts so both teams cheat and play like cnuts. Logical.
That is an even weaker reason to send him off. No way was that a straight red tackle.
Where did you hear that? Because I agree he should have been booked for what he did to Silva, even before he kicked the ball away.
Ref lost control ofthe game when he refused to send havertz off early.
Then calls walker over for a chat, let's arsenal take a free kick from the wrong spot while walker getting back but he's somehow favouring City?

It’s disgusting. People who defend this. How many times have you seen someone getting a red for a push in the back? This shit happens in every single game and players rarely even gets a yellow for it. Giving a second yellow in the first half for this is insane.
The consistency is just shocking, there is no line. Now Oliver has become the main character and ruined the game. Congratulations i guess.

Premier League really making inroads in the american market. So many people out there in the rain outside the studio in Chicago
Then why he gesturing that it was for kicking the ball away when Trossard was dissenting?
Also how come Doku wasn't yellow carded for kicking the ball away earlier?
What are you on about? "Especially in a big game" rules don't change because the size of the occasion FFS. Same waffle Mike Dean was banging on about last week so we know it's incorrect because he's as big of a whopper as Michael Oliver.
If that's the rule then fair enough. City are well within their rights to want the referee to apply the rules here, that everyone has to follow.
arsenal will park a space ship after this red card. city might not be able to score again.
It was a second yellow card. Not straight red.
Both these teams are masters at the dark arts. Don't think they can complain too much when stuff like this inevitably bites them.
Both their goals dubious, second is a blatant foul on the keeper.
I wonder if Oliver was just considering a yellow but maybe thinking a final warning for trossard until he decided to smash the ball away, kind of didn't really leave him an option.
Brainless from Trossard
I think Arsenal will hold on. It’s finally their year

Looking at the foul again by Trossard, he could easily get a second yellow for just barging him in the back and the kicking the ball away just gives the ref another incident to consider
Did you not read my reply. He was already on a yellow mate. It was a second yellow that was given, not a straight red.
How so? That was a clear yellow.
I just want a few more red cards and some fighting in the 2nd half, keep in entertaining.
Trossard got a yellow card for kicking the ball away not for the foul. It's dumb from him considering he saw Rice got sent off for the same.
Though to be fair, Dalot would have received two yellows for what Trossard did.
Ironically, if Kyle Walker hadn't started walking he would've made it back into position in time.
Arsenal are fouling the goalkeeper in every corner they take.
VAR doesn't see this?

Yeah right
Another week of reading dumb takes, exhausting joke of a league.Trossard is fully aware of what he's doing there, otherwise he would have taken the ball down and looked to play Martinelli in.
Players have had enough warning at this stage. Don't play the ball after the foul. Simple.
brilliant defending. it's the attackers fault for their incompetence not able to break down the defence and score goals.
How did Pep not get a red for kicking the chair? Remember Mourinho once got a red for kicking a bottle
Just saying, we aren't more screwed over than any other team
Trossard is a fecking idiot
Yep, how is this allowed??
Because Doku wasn't kicking the ball away, he was making a point by rolling the ball back to where the free kick should have been taken from. He was reminding Oliver about the first Arsenal goal.
They showed quite clearly he was able to get back into position.
Rodri potentially being injured for months is a bigger result for Arsenal than anything they get here.
What was it last season, he missed four games suspended and Man. City lost three of them. They also gave one of the worst performances of the Pep era when they lost to us at Villa Park.
I could see them dropping points at Newcastle next weekend as that's a pretty tricky venue for them usually.
So there is always a "victim" and a "beneficiary". No one is specifically targeted
Why was the game allowed to continue well into the 7th minute of stoppage time when Trossard got the red card? I’m surprised that’s not been pointed out.
Will you celebrate the title win as well?
