Michael Oliver Made The Worst Call in Premier League History

New Episode of Pitch Picks:

I’m not sure I even need to say anything. Even people who haven’t played soccer since they were toddlers or only watch it at their children’s games can see that what Myles Lewis-Skelly did was nowhere near deserving of a red card. Michael Oliver’s decision was outrageous. Without a doubt, it was one of the worst red cards in Premier League history. And that’s not just my opinion—it’s echoed by former players as well.

What makes this situation even worse is the fact that the red card was not only issued but also confirmed by VAR. This raises serious questions about the integrity and competence of the PGMOL. How could such a decision stand? In no reasonable world was that ever a red card.

This leads to an even bigger question: does Michael Oliver, along with the PGMOL, have a bias against Arsenal? It’s hard not to wonder when decisions like this continue to happen. If you’re looking for answers, I’ll leave that to Zah, but it’s clear something isn’t right.

Moments like these highlight a growing frustration among fans with the officiating standards in the Premier League. The use of technology like VAR was supposed to eliminate controversy, yet it seems to create more questions than answers. Supporters deserve better. Players deserve better. The game itself deserves better.

The fallout from this decision will surely continue, but one thing is clear: the PGMOL must be held accountable for mistakes like this. Until then, fans will keep questioning the fairness of the system and whether teams like Arsenal are being unfairly targeted.
