Beware, you have written :

        if($key){
            unset($this->observers[$key]);
        }

When this should be :

        if(false !== $key){
            unset($this->observers[$key]);
        }

If the observer you want to delete is the first in your array, you will never delete it because the key would equal 0 and 0 == false as you know.
