The Mailbox scoffs at the comparison between this Arsenal side and the Class of ’92. Also: the FA should hammer Mitrovic; and United ought to forget the Europa League…

Mitro should be done for the season
There is precedent for the ban that Mitrovic should get for shoving the ref. Di Canio was banned for 11 games (even though the ref definitely dived). And he shoved the ref and walked off. Mitrovic shoved the ref then continued to aggressively square up to the referee.
The FA have seriously dropped a bollock if Mitrovic plays again this season.
You could say that shows no consistency as Bruno got away with something similar against a linesman in some game that was played on Merseyside once. But you’d be wrong and I invite you to watch both incidents again in context to understand why swatting a linesman away when he tries to touch you is different from from aggressively shoving a referee because he makes a correct decision having seen a replay.
Worried about United though…

…If you are upset by Mitrovic getting an extended ban for ‘just putting hands’ on the ref then you are part of the problem.
The level of discipline in professional football in it’s current state is disgusting. Watch one game of rugby and see what actual respect towards your fellow professional and referee is.
Watching players throw themselves around only to get up as if untouched seconds later is infuriating. Watching players swarm a ref after a decision has been given as if that’s going to change thier mind. Name a single time pressuring the ref has resulted in them overturning a decision.
Professional football is filled with little child adults who think they can do as they like because they’re paid stupid wages. It makes me sick.
I can’t have respect for the sport of football until the people who earn more in a month than you will in your life ACTUALLY show respect for the individual who is supposed to referee thier behaviour, or just show some damn humility.
This turned into more of a rant than I meant it to. But I genuinely find it difficult to cheer on these insanely wealthy people while they act worse than a child in the playground. Like I said, it makes me sick.
Will (Maybe I’m just an angry poor person).
