We've put up with this garbage for years, some have even been persuaded to say "Offside is offside" to justify it. It was never meant to be measured scientifically. It's level in real football. So another new law will now happen. VAR - maximum interference for minimum benefit
Arsenal almost need to sign a striker now just to change the mood. That's a dreadful result in the context of going 2-0 up against a good Villa and Liverpool before. It feels like they've been wrenched in this kind of angst for most of the season, they they need to break out of.
VAR will probably never be loved. But today showed what it’s there for. Righting wrongs. Helping the referee in a high-speed, high-stakes sport. Merino’s shot hit Havertz’s hand. Frustrating for #AFC but #AVFC would have been rightly outraged if that goal had been given. #ARSAVL
Chelsea’s brilliant academy providing threequarters of England’s defence, full-backs Livramento and Hall and centre-back Guehi, plus Gallagher in midfield. #CFC academy produces such talent but how much stays? (James, Colwill obv).
England need to succumb to their culture, their way of playing ingrained in them. You’re not Spain, you’re not Brazil. Fuck dominating possession, get that ball launched into Toney and have players around him and Kane for knockdowns. Only then will it come home
Right decision from Michael Oliver. In the USA in particular, they're very quick to halt play if there's a storm in the area. The lightning felt like it was very close. One thunder clap so loud it made everyone jump out of their skin. Rain torrential.
Clearly a dig at Man City & a bit of fun. But this fella's football knowledge is limited.
- City were formed before Arsenal
- City won their first FA Cup 26 years before Arsenal
- they both won their first European trophy 1970
- Arsenal spent much more than City last summer
@mead_ant@Ste15375723Mark@BBCSport Explain it to us all then. Why can’t each case be delt with one at a time like Everton and Forest. Why do we have to wait for all 115 to be lumped together for an outcome. Genuinely interested if you know the reason.
@FutbolJustin@sophie_bulldogs We all know it’s not a single breach (115) but why can’t they be dealt with one at a time like Everton and Forest and given the punishment as each case is delt with. Why do we need them to heard all together. Nobody can explain this.
@sophie_bulldogs Because the trial is yet to start which will commence later this year, it’s not a single breach. It involves financial fraud, lawyers etc..
@JamesVI58047415@Orangeiceman10 For 3 years so you can win multiple trophies all why the explanation goes on. An absolute joke. They should punish them ( if guilty) one by one.
I keep hearing pundits say “The sooner they clear up the 115 charges, the better for City”
Yet It is City that have dragged this out not the Premier League
@AdamSalkie@G80399@SkySportsPL Can I ask why all 115 charges against Man City have to be delt with all together? Why can’t they be deducted points as the charges get processed. Or dismissed.
@G80399@SkySportsPL It is not the responsibility of those facing charges to dictate the speed of the process; it is for those bringing charges to prove them.
🗣️ "I'll speak about what they do on the pitch and they've been fantastic"
🗣️ "You can't help but think they've got away with it"
Soccer Saturday debate whether the 115 charges that Manchester City are facing 'tarnishes' their achievements
@justJelAFC Can I ask why all 115 charges against Man City have to be delt with all together? Why can’t they be deducted points as the charges get processed. Or dismissed.
Imagine supporting a club that just made HISTORY by winning 4 consecutive Premier Leagues and NO ONE actually GIVES A TOSS
FUCK YOU CITY you cheating bastards
@BBCMOTD Can I ask why all 115 charges against Man City have to be delt with all together? Why can’t they be deducted points as the charges get processed. Or dismissed.
