Kovacic’s studs hit the turf, the opponent was never in danger, the Arsenal play dives.

Anthony Taylor gets that so wrong. Disgraceful, another arrogant ref. Shirley the worst bunch of top flight refs in a long time. Atkinson, Friend are other tw@ts.

I don't get what makes him arrogant. Wrong, sure, but why arrogant? VAR doesn't check second yellow cards.

The supreme ‘confidence’ to dish out a game changing red in a second, when clearly so wrong.

It’s often said that the very best refs take their time, after the whistle is blown.

He just probably thought it was a foul that was worthy of a yellow card and therefore a second one and a red. I doubt his over-confidence played any part in it. As a referee myself never once have I thought "I'm going to send a player off here" due to hubris.

I agree it was a terrible decision.

Sideshow Bob is off, he's broken a hair by the look of it.

Crikes! You see about 30 tackles matching Barkley's booking on a Sunday morning game!

I thought he was being sensible to the cup final when he didnt produce a red for the penalty as he clearly wasnt playing for the ball. But then he did that and ruined it. Dont think it has changed the result though.

It was used in the 18th Century well before German unification - very probably well before that.
It's a beautiful font

It's been used since the twelfth century. That's why numerals can be such an issue. Arabic numerals in blackletter just wouldn't have existed because Europe used Latin numerals. That's why Arsenal should be disqualified.

Bloody hell! Goal keeper catches ball but falls to ground due to momentum, apparently breaks spine?

What a season for Lampard! CHAMPIONS League for finishing fourth. ???

I don't get the media wankfest over fat Frank. He's done ok, nothing else. Some good English youngsters but he's got to win something next year with Timo Werner and Hakim Zeyich already snapped up with more to come apparently.
