David Coote is the man of the moment but for all the wrong reasons in the Premier League right now and the finger will soon be turned to the head of the PGMOL, Howard Webb.

After videos circled of the Nottinghamshire-born official slandering Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp, he has unsurprisingly been suspended with immediate effect.

Now historical decisions against the Reds have also been shared and this seems a lot more than an inebriated mistake, suggesting possible corruption against our team.

Therefore, the next episode of ‘Mic’d Up’ featuring Webb will certainly gather a lot of attention and we will all be hoping for a strong performance from the man tasked with interviewing him.

Unfortunately for us all, that person is Michael Owen and so we haven’t exactly got ourselves the firmest of hands on what is a very important conversation.

It’s likely the idea of any corruption will not be addressed and many rival supporters will also assume we are being over the top with these accusations.

However, with the evidence presented to us, it would be hard for any club to not feel that something is more than just a little off with what has happened.

The powers that be will be certainly try and deflect blame against an agenda against certain clubs but this is going to be hard for them to avoid.

The next episode will be broadcast on Sky Sports Premier League at 7pm on Tuesday 12th of November.

  1. I don’t think David Coote is alone. There are some truly startling numbers that Opta have on players being “awarded” fouls. Last season the most fouls were awarded to Guimares (Newcastle Utd) who was given 108 fouls, additionally, there were 21 players given 50+. During the whole of last season Mo Salah was given 12 (TWELVE) fouls. That is truly amazing considering the attention and aggressive intent he is subjected to.

  2. The decision to wave no foul when Mo was dragged down was in itself enough to warrant an investigation into this guy. His bias is blatant.
