coolhandfox Posted 6 August 2020 Share Posted 6 August 2020 25 minutes ago, The Horse's Mouth said: I dont get this "Arsenal are ran badly" narrative at all, them and spurs are the only self sustaining top 6 club (Pool at a push tbf).In terms of recruitment you could argue, but no club has a consistent 3 decades of flawless recruitment. With the layoffs its unclear what jobs these lads did, I'd imagine the budget assigned to the off field jobs is completely removed from the football side, not defending it mind but the lack of clarity of when fans are allowed back in cant be a huge help to them either. I think it comes from the narrative, around letting players like Nasri, Van Persie, Ramsey etc run down contracts and leaving on the cheap! I think they are actually ran well from a financial point of view, 2018/19 was the first time they have mad a loss since 2002. Unfortunately for them their on field success hasn't been able to match their off field success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they have a completely inexperienced manager who no one knows whether will be any good or not. That with them losing their best players and recruiting poorly means that I feel it could happen. Nothing’s impossible in football. They had an experienced manager under Emery who was dogshit. Arteta has came in and undoubtedly improved them, Arsenal are an ownership change away from a title challenge but they won’t go down. The Milan clubs are a good example, they’ve been mismanaged from top to bottom over the last 10 years and mid table is the worst it ever got. We’ve been close to relegation a few times and been on absolutely shocking runs on multiple occasions and still not dropped. You have to be seriously shit to go down, we’ve avoided it on player quality alone with far worse teams than Arsenal will ever descend to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetstonefox Posted 6 August 2020 Share Posted 6 August 2020 The last few years , say since 2015 all the talk has been of arsenal being poor and Spurs being the top dog in north London. undoubtedly Arsenal have been poor but they have still won 2 FA Cups, whilst Spurs managed 13 minutes on top of the premier league.

DerbyshireFox Posted 6 August 2020 Share Posted 6 August 2020 Premier League clubs have voted against continuing to allow five substitutions in a match for the 2020-21 season. The rule was brought in when the 2019-20 top-flight season restarted in June, having been halted for three months because of the coronavirus pandemic. For next season, the league will revert to three permitted substitutions, after the vote at a meeting on Thursday. The Premier League said clubs had also "approved the implementation of VAR, in line with the full Fifa VAR protocol". It comes after world governing body Fifa took on control for overseeing the video assistant referee system from the International Football Association Board (Ifab), the sport's lawmakers. Part of the change will see an increase in referees using the pitchside monitors for goals, red cards and penalty kicks. Also, if a goalkeeper's foot is over the line when he saves a penalty, then VAR will advise it is retaken, although this will not be the case if a spot-kick hits the post or goes over unless the goalkeeper has a material impact on the kick being missed. Players who encroach in the area when a penalty is taken - and have a material impact on the outcome - will be judged by any part of their body that is on the ground when the kick is taken. In terms of the extra substitutions, many members are believed to have felt having five was unfairly benefiting the major clubs, despite Fifa allowing the continued use of the rule if leagues wanted. Fifa said the five-substitute rule can be used in competitions until August 2021, meaning the European Championships and Copa America can adopt it next summer. The Premier League also voted for a maximum of seven substitutes on the bench Source: BBC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 6 August 2020 Share Posted 6 August 2020 I'm hoping that ref's will be reminded to enforce certain rules brought in last season such as subbed players leaving the pitch at the closest point. Anything to prevent time wasting (or game management in modern terms) gets my approval. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what the hell does that mean ? Surely it’s a mis report and should say any part of their body, even if it is not in contact with the ground ????

foxinsocks Posted 6 August 2020 Share Posted 6 August 2020 When they ask the ref to look at the monitor then that is just vide for "you've made a mistake ". Its good that the pl is no longer trying to do it's own thing (little englanders)... butbthere is some way to go. Need at 10cm tolerance on offside Scrap the accidental handball dusalliwibg goals Var should always call it as they see it.
