That’s surely the last straw for Michael Oliver and Arsenal matches

I don’t see how Michael Oliver can take charge of another Arsenal game. Certainly for a fair while anyway.

We’ve seen it happen with some referees in the past when their chequered history with certain clubs has seen them conveniently placed on other games when they are playing and I think that probably has to happen here now as well.

What happened on Saturday was the last straw in terms of Arsenal and Oliver. There have now just been too many high profile incidents when he has been in charge of their games.

Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports on Sunday that he could probably count on one hand the amount of mistakes Oliver has made in his career. Well, that’s just rubbish really because you would need two hands just to count the mistakes he has made in Arsenal games alone.

There is just no trust there anymore.

Everyone could see that it wasn’t a red card on Sunday. It’s very rare that you see almost every high profile pundit and commentator in the country express their shock at a decision, yet that’s what happened after Oliver opted to send off Lewis-Skelly.
