By Walter Broeckx Ever since the day I started the referee reviewing system on Untold a few seasons ago the one thing that came out of most numbers was that we could see a bias in favour of Manchester United. For years we have been suggesting this was the case, and got it confirmed by …

GILDING THE LILY….by Don McMahon It has been a tumultous and inspiring few weeks since the opening day loss to the PGMOL Villa which had everyone predicting gloom and doom for the Arsenal.

Blacksheep63 I’ve been scrambling around looking for something to write about Arsenal’s upcoming game against Napoli, without mentioning Higuaín (damn) or Rafa Benitez (double damn).
