I honestly don’t know how Michael Oliver can referee another Arsenal game again after that today. What trust there was (which was very little) has just totally gone now. The more you watch it, the worse it gets. How can he possibly justify making that decision? It’s always him…..

Trossard 2nd yellow for delaying the restart 1/8th of a second after the whistle & at half time whistle no less.
MLS professional foul a straight red.
Those alone, plus his Newcastle fandom, should be more than enough to have him never officiate Arsenal again.
to get a restraining order on michael oliver
At this point our opponents shouldn’t be at all accepting of him being assigned to THEIR games with us - he could easily subconsciously (or consciously) overcompensate in the next match and rule in our favor.
but it's not just that decision how did he not show a strait red to Gomes when he did it to Timber, a worse tackle

They’re not putting any effort in to the idea that it’s fair and balanced
First time this season it hasn’t cost us points too
and, y'know, in-season refereeing trips for outrageous money.
Or maybe I'm being a bit too harsh on the fella, could of had a bad trip with his mate Coote last night 👍
