This part of my post that started this discussion is where the issue is and as Limiescouse says, the laws don’t cover it being a red apart from possibly classifying the foul as endagering the safety of the player (studs) or using excessive force, which woul be harsh compared to the Enciso foul on Endo
Our biggest threat to winning the premier league, shame wolves could not hold them yesterday, I do think arsenal red was harsh but I hope Oliver keeps giving them reds.

Someone did make a point that they keep getting these reds even though they keep moaning.
Since Klopp left have they found a new annoyance?
Slot’s kept his powder dry and if I’m honest I think it’s the best route. Channel it through private comms. These guys are spiteful fucks and even when they massively fuck up like last year they and their media bumchums still seem to make it our fault.

They have obviously had some big ones this season, but the fans and Arteta were already on this level of persecution last year before Klopp left so it feels just a continuation of that.
It goes back to at least the Newcastle game where they thought the goal should have been disallowed because if you complain about enough different things in an attack the ref is honour bound to call one your way even if you cannot make a great argument about any of them individually.

I think they’ve been harsh on one but compared to some of ours hardly.
However I don’t mind if our current rivals for this title keep rubbing them up the wrong way. We know they are vindictive well some are.

Mikel Arteta says Liverpool ‘normally’ face a difficult spell:
“They normally do, so we have to be there, that’s for sure. The margins are really, really small. You can see how things could’ve gone last weekend.”

Liverpool’s “difficult” spells aren’t half as bad as Arsenal’s.
Last league title: Arsenal 2004, Liverpool 2020
Last FA Cup: Arsenal 2020, Liverpool 2022
Last League Cup: Arsenal 1993, Liverpool 2024
Last Champions League: Bwahahahahahaha

Saying this with fingers crossed… but we may have already had our blip… Two draws in the last 4 PL games 
This Slot guy doesn’t seem to mess about does he
February looks to be Liverpool’s most difficult month of the season in terms of fixture list. We’ll see how the table looks like in month’s time. I have to admit that I expected Arsenal to drop at least two more points given Saka’s absence but their defence looks to be on point, they even contribute important goals in narrow wins. That’s what’s keeping them in the title race at the end of the day.

I’m sick of hearing how hard done to these cunts are every time I turn on the tv or radio. Half the teams in the PL have more injuries than these and they’ve had one fucking iffy call go against them. Hardly any mention of the corner they got against Spurs that was the difference between winning the game and dropping 2/3 points.
It doesn’t even scratch the surface with the bullshit we have to put up with season in season out and against these on several occasions.
I fucking despise everything about them, an absolute fucking shitstain of a club.

This weekend is one of their best chances to close the gap, which is odd to say considering they are playing City and we are playing Bournemouth. But Bournemouth have been tough this season, and Arsenal are hosting City.

Agree and disagree. City beating Chelsea last week does add a level of intrigue and importance here, though likely too many distractions for City to really mount a solid effort (CL must win midweek). Who knows, the angry norweign dude hates lego pep. Stay humble eh?
I don’t disagree - it is a tough weekend, but as they look at the schedule, they need to see two weekends from 15 where they can gain 3 points. Depending on the derby result, that could become three weekends. LFC away to Bournemouth is going to be one of their better opportunities.
Beating City and being no closer for it would be a psychological test for them as a group, dropping points would be very damaging.

At the beginning of January, I told my friends that I would be pleased if Liverpool got seven points from their trips to Forest, Brentford and Bournemouth. At that point, I didn’t expect Bournemouth to be this good, so I presumed we’d drop point at Forest (because that trip has been pretty difficult ever since they hosted Liverpool in FA Cup three years ago).
If Liverpool are six points ahead of Arsenal at the end of February, having played the same amount of games, I’ll start dreaming.
Personally I think the biggest threat is FSG. Just my opinion mind - well not really. I know that criticising the current ownership in any way shape or form is tantamount to heresy on this site but there is is.

Makes this coming weekend a massive game.
I’m convinced Arsenal will beat Man City, so it’s up to our lads to make that game less worthy to Arsenal.
It’s not - and I’m telling that as a relative FSG critic. The thing is, with them, the opinions are completely polarising and that gets on my nerves. But that’s a discussion for another thread.
