Yeah, but there were high studs, and the league is emphasizing being hard on the tackler, for better or worse. FWIW, I thought one of the Newcastle players were getting sent off for a similar incident against City (can't remember the player). Only a yellow. It goes to show that the league and its officiating is wildly inconsistent.
Yeah, but the league clearly must have seen something that said both the ref and VAR got wrong. They don't like to change referee decisions and Howard Webb has made a point to state that publicly.

Yep. To me it was that wishy-washy of a call. Until they get absolutely crystal clear with both their rules and rules enforcement, we'll keep getting crap like this.

Shockingly, Man city already alone at the top of the table lol. West ham are another club crashing the top 4 early on. Spurs have impressed me, their midfield are proactive. Liverpool absolutely robbed 3 points in Newcastle. Arsenal drop points against Fulham. Going to be an interesting year. I hope someone can challenge man city.

I thought the arsenal man United game today was a good watch. Felt that arsenal were lucky not to go down 2-1. Man of the match should be the defender that held his line by a whisker.
