News: 115 Charges - The Other Teams Thread [R]

Agreed. What I wanted to happen with mbappe happened. And now throwing a grenade in that team with mourinho. Fantastic story line to follow.

 

I'm most interested in how Vinicius deals with this given their history.

 

Another story arc i over looked.

 

Reports are that Pep is leaving man city...

City will not be same 100%. This is the window of opportunity we can't miss. We should be targeting league title with in next 3 season. Klopp gone Pepe gone ..

 

Would be interesting if this opens the door wider for Anderson over City

 

I've been watching football for over 50 year(yeah I'm old) and they are the most boring, dull and uninspiring team to ever win the league. They got lucky this year because man city, dippers, chelsea and us to an extent have been muck this season.

 

I think the verdict must be coming soon and Pep knows. He's wanting to be out of the limelight when it hits.

 

Yup..VARsenal..

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: An official image has been released of Kai Havertz' challenge.

Studs above the ankle is a 100% red card in the book of rules, but VAR decided NOT to give it. pic.twitter.com/pzqOIwb9Cp

everyone has there fair share of luck (must not remember the Ferguson years well?) and bullshit var decisions go against them and for them

we have been on the end of some bollocks and last night Kai was lucky

what it shows is how shit refereeing has been since forever in this country

and we are horrible to watch but after 22 years I would take anything, even playing like stoke

 

Dont like Arsenal or their football - so agree with all the above.

However one thing I would say though is that all EPL teams for the most part are targeting set pieces, killing space and avoiding turnovers. So all the teams that pressed and “played football” are finding it harder to get points.

This “evolution” (sarcasm) is not a one-off and we better make damn sure we read the room and eg replace Casemiro (& Maguire) set-piece defending. Plus go the near CB at FB route etc. Physicality is back to a degree.

Can argue chicken & egg ie if Arsenal the cause but think it was going that way to a degree and props to Arsenal for executing (even if not good for EPL football in the wider context).

 

You’re right. Arteta and Arse have tried to win playing attractive football and failed successively. They’ve had to turn to a more pragmatic approach and as a neutral it’s putrid to watch. But as the Arsenal fan here said, whatever it takes. In general, with all the pressing, low block etc the game now has become less fun and not that exciting to watch.

 

So Maresca to City. as per multiple reports.

 

Crazy stuff... Also, imagine a quick and swift resolution, unlike 115.

Kroupi scores for Bournemouth against City...

 

Yep, the modern tactical evolution has ruined the game

It's a tedious watch, technical players passing sideways untill a space appears in a low block for a diagonal or you lose it and get countered

Even world cups are shit to watch

 

Blech...ugliest ********ing champions in decades.

Just cling to fact Spurs might still get relegated.
