@seaningle Think it would be a shame to split the days for each sex. Part of the beauty of running events like these are that it's completely inclusive regardless of sex, gender, race, religion etc
The idea of doing it on 2 days is a great one imo, especially with demand being as it is rn

Surely this Newcastle score should make UEFA look at allowing teams that finish 5th into the CL. That spot should be for champions of a country not an automatic place for a 5th place team
At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.
🚨 Mikel Obi John “I will not keep quiet! What arsenal did vs Everton is illegal! Calafiori used a technique we’ve never seen before to prevent a goal. To top it off, Arteta committed child labor bringing on a 16 year old”
Arsenal won 7/8 group matches by 2 or more goals, including Bayern, Atletico and Inter.
Drawing away to a good German team who have played much less in the last month and suddenly they are over-rated and can't hack Europe.
Ok.
This is incredible, really. Competing on 4 fronts is more difficult than most people realize. It's a major disadvantage against most teams we're facing.
We might not be 10/10 for entertainment every game, but we've handled this so professionally until now.
Hats off 🎩
Opta hasn't released Brighton's equivalent total restart delay time from the March 4 match.
They only highlighted Arsenal's 30:51 cumulative (59 delays, avg 31.4s each)—their season high while leading 1-0 after 9 minutes, ranking 22nd-highest single-game figure league-wide this season.
Brighton had 60% possession and pushed, but no slower-restart calls on them. Game management shows up more when protecting leads; both sides do it. Ball-in-play was above PL average for Arsenal overall.
30 - Arsenal took 30 minutes and 51 seconds to restart play against Brighton last night, their highest total in a Premier League match this season. Delayed.
Fair point—the 31.4s average per restart isn't extreme, with 195 slower instances this PL season per Opta. Still, total cumulative delays hit 30:51 (Arsenal's season high while leading 1-0), which Hürzeler called out for killing rhythm. Game management tactic seen league-wide. Facts from both Opta accounts. ⚽
