You must have the money to invest, surely?

5 minutes to check it too, ridiculous. While I quite like the idea of Wenger's proposed "daylight" change we'll still have exactly the same problem, is there 1mm of daylight or not? There is no way to solve this problem really, there will always be calls that are so close you need to replay them frame by frame and still nobody will be happy.

Agreed.
Hockey did away with offsides 25 years ago, I do wonder what football would be like without it. Probably ****. Fat sam would have a field day hoofing long balls. It would be interesting to see how teams adapted though.

Corrected for you...

It seems there are two ways to run a club these days, financial success or pitch success. City can't be making any money, they obviously don't need to but that's not the point.

I'd love to see them trial it, I wouldn't be against more goals, and I find this modern play out from the back shite excrutiating to watch. I watched a bit of AFCON last night and it reminded me why I like International tournaments, the lack of coherence makes it much more enjoyable to watch, these modern PL teams that move like flocks of birds are incredibly dull. I want to see more goal kicks!

There’s definitely a balance to be struck, not for Citeh, but for most clubs

If you think that’s all the current Arsenal team can do then you clearly haven’t watched them too much. Possibly because it can be boring as you like sometimes, but they are the strongest team with the most consistency. Making the most out of what you have and what the rules allowed is only viewed as bad by those that can’t do it. Enjoy the championship

Hooked a big one here... gonna need a bigger boat!

Don't know why I'm laughing......MU fan laughing at a West Ham and Arsenal fan bantering. More entertaining than watching my team I suppose.

 

[edd_jedi]

Yep I certainly can't take the piss, I wouldn't mind Romero trying to take the goalkeepers gloves off if it meant us winning a game

 

[lejackal]

Can’t say I agree with everything that has been tried, particularly that, but this season that simply hasn’t happened, and Arsenal still score. Maybe being disliked just comes with success (unless it’s Spurs vs Arsenal), but I think I stay pretty silent most of the time on here. Occasionally I take the bait, but what can I do?

 

[edd_jedi]

Exactly that, everyone wants their team to be top of the table, an element of jealousy there for sure (myself included!) Not to mention pure dismay at their own club
