It's a load of sour grapes because Man City's are now eight points clear at the top of the table after only eleven games.
Pep Guardiola has put together a class squad and the likes Fernandinho, Kevin De Bryune and Nicolas Otamendi are all now coming into their own.

You clearly don't understand how things work, I'll explain. Try to keep your attention span long enough to read it, it's a state of affairs that doesn't just affect the English game now, it will affect the whole of worldwide football in the future and that includes Scotland.
Our beautiful game stands on the precipice of change, that if not checked will turn the game we love into a ghastly parody of it's former self run on similar ridiculous lines to the American NFL, god help us.
The Premier League has nothing to do with the English FA. It only works within the framework of the English Football Association because it has to by law, otherwise it cannot operate as a football league in this country.
If all the owners of English clubs wanted to - remember they are all shareholders in the Premier League - they could vote to move out of the country and become a law unto themselves, such is the power of the Premier league.
The FA wouldn't admit it but they are a junior partner in English football these days, they run scared of the Premier League all the time. Whenever they have suggested or tried to implement changes to the game in this country and the Premier League don't like them, the FA backs down every time. It's not right but thats the way it is.
You must remember the Premier League is run by a chief executive, Richard Scudamore currently, and he is chosen by the OWNERS of the clubs and those owners are BUSINESSMEN.
Scudamore has been CEO of the PL since 1999 and the reason he still is, is because he has grown the Premier league into the biggest and richest association football league on the planet. Like I said, the owners are businessmen, few care how successful their clubs are within the Premier league as long as they remain in it. As such Scudamore can do whatever he likes, his track record shows he can make them money so they turn a blind eye to how he actually goes about it.
If Scudamore thinks he can maintain or improve the Premier league by ensuring it has the best players and managers in the world working in it, he will do it no matter how.
Now going back to Man City and Guardiola. Regardless of whether it's true or not Guardiola is recognised as the 'best manager in the world' and the Premier League prides itself on the fact that it can attract the best, Mourhino, Wenger, Conte, Klopp etc., are globally recognised as some of, it not the best and newly arrived Guardiola is the cherry on the PL cake.
When all this and more is taken into account, Guardiola is an integral part of the continued success of the PL, they don't want him to go it's as simple as that.
Lastly, Scudamore appointed Mike Riley's PGMOL company to provide referees for the Premier League. Mike Riley has had several brushes with corruption allegations in the past, he is quite simply Scudamore's lap dog. Riley would do anything to maintain his connection with Scudamore and the Premier league, why not? it has made him and his company a small fortune and he wants it to continue. Whether inferred or told directly, Riley knows what Scudamore and the Premier league wants and he ensures his highly paid employees are aware of that too.

Shearer makes me sick, he will never miss an opportunity to slag off Wenger and Arsenal. If that challenge had seen a penalty go against Newcastle or another club he would have said it was nothing more than a legal, robust shoulder to shoulder challenge.
Sterling gets decisions because he's a little cunt and plays for City. Walcott, Sanchez and numerous other little players for Arsenal get battered every game just like that, refs just ignore it.
It's a shame wenger doesn't lower himself to Guardiola's level then about 'diving' - Guardiola's players have regularly and clearly been proven to have dived and cheated and no action, either at the time or retrospectively has been taken.
It's pre-ordained for City to win the title and if the Premier league can make it so and not too obvious, they will ensure they go unbeaten for the season too.
It's about the right time for some more high profile news to keep things boiling nicely on the global stage and who better to promote the continued rise of the Premier league? ...... their 'flagship' manager and 'best in the world' Pep Guardiola.

Listen!!
Do you hear me banging on about how Celtic have gone 63 games unbeaten and blaming the refs and saying the SFA are corrupt and are doing it on purpose.
No it's because Celtic for the last few seasons have dominated Scottish football.
Perhaps you could for one second try and imagine how difficult that is for me as a Rangers supporter is too stomach.
It's the other teams who need to try and stop it, just like the teams in England need to stop Man City.

Believe me I know how sickening it is, which is why I try to avoid bringing something like that to mind.
Trapper John wrote:Well that went as I suspected, message for Sunny, give up any hope of Spurs winning the league or anyone else for that matter, I now realise that it was pre-ordained for City to win the title before a ball was even kicked at the start of the season. It is no coincidence that for the two seasons Guardiola has started here, they've had the easiest early fixture list of any top six club.
I'm not saying Arsenal deserved to win today, we didn't, but the alarming regularity in which penalties are being awarded to City at key moments in a game is reminiscent of their title winning season of 2013/14 and of Leicester's where inordinate amounts were awarded to both sides being instrumental in their final positions.
The penalty today was at a key moment when a slim 1-0 lead was gradually being nibbled away at by Arsenal. It was pathetic, a challenge that on any other place on the pitch or in any other game not featuring City, would have been waved away by any ref as a fair shoulder to shoulder challenge.
Likewise with their 3rd goal, David Silva was clearly offside when the ball was played before he out Jesus to score, once again it was completely ignored by the ref and linesman.
City are probably the best team in the country at present but with that sort of help, it isn't surprising. Arsenal could and should have made more of that game today, they didn't because of a combination of things too numerous to mention.
I'll finish again by saying everyone else can forget the title, the Premier league want Guardiola to win it, he keeps the global prestige of the league going, the last thing they want is him to leave our shores and they've made that cheating crook Mike Riley at the PGMOL aware of just what they want his ref's to do.

No you don't, you don't support Rangers.
I bet nobody has ever said "Know your place Hun Scum" too you.

I'm afraid that being white and British affords you no special treatment at all, you need to be one of the myriad 'multi-coloured, multi-cultured, multi-sexual minorities' to get anywhere in this day and age.
I have an idea, get Rangers supporters to all call themselves Tarquin and mince up to Ibrox with bunches of blue and white flowers instead of scarves and sing Bronski beat songs from the terraces, I guarantee the first adverse comment from a Celtic fan will have the entire lot arrested and thrown in jail for up to two years.
