As with so many things, issue is he was caught doing it. I think it's be incredibly naive to not think that referee's have their own opinions on teams, managers and players etc...but when you're in that position you can't bring it up or it does start to call into question how impartial you are...
For sure, there's definitely players or styles he seemingly wanted but didn't get. Like you've mentioned individually the transfers themselves are one I'm happy with but as a collective and looking at what we'd say we'd need it wasn't enough.
I just mean on the whole, going for specific players...
I think on the discussion of signings and the whole 'back the manager' point... you only need to look as far as Man Utd to see that just blanket buying who the manager asks for doesn't always work. Hell we have the history of Ndombele and Poch.
From the sound of things, Ange had signings he...
It would have been Jenas taking over you feel given how much the Beeb loved him and his work on the One Show, so pretty glad that's not an option now.
I think overall viewing habits and everything has changed in general (hell Sky put up the PL highlights right after matches so people can watch...
I would absolutely adore more consistency from Ange and the team. I do think he has to take a lot of the blame for that (as do the players, as does the board).
I think this was in many ways going to be the reality when we lost Harry Kane. So many in the media predicted this of us, so many of us...
Official, and joining during the international break
Annoyingly don't hate this appointment for them but I think there's too much to change at the their club that this alone won't be what makes them good again.
Just back from the game tonight, given they had 51k in attendance I don't see them being bothered by ticket prices.
Was expecting it to be more empty but a pretty decent turn out all considered
For all the complaining and victim mindset that Arsenal fans are in today (and well all the time), it's just hilarious to see all that when actually their first goal was probably the biggest ref issue of the game. Calling Walker over then not letting him get back into position? That was like the...
"0 - Neither Jurriën Timber (6 passes) nor Kai Havertz (5 passes) completed any of their passes for Arsenal against Man City today, the first outfield players on record (from 2003-04) to play 89+ minutes of a Premier League match and not successfully pass to a teammate. Plan."
I get the 2nd...
Of course Arsenal fans online are complaining that a MINIMUM of 7 minutes of added time went longer than the MINIMUM time that was show. It's as if... I don't know... it was a MINIMUM.
The worrying thing is that doesn't even include Joao Felix
I'm hoping ego's get in the way there cause that's a lot of internationals to keep happy and I don't know if the conference league would be enough rotation wise
I think the phrase 'I've seen 'em given' applies there.
Not the most obvious penalty but I don't think many would be complaining loudly if they awarded it.
"Enzo Maresca on Sterling, Chalobah and the others: “All the players who in this moment are training apart will NOT get any minutes in case they stay”. “My advice to Sterling? He knows exactly what he has to do”.
I think one of the issues with them going forward this season will naturally be their squad. Obviously we'll see how it actually ends up by the end of Friday, but it was always going to be squad and rotation for them. They've got decent depth in their attacking options but that could potentially...
Managed to get 1 for Villa and 1 for Ipswich.
The annoyance of the map saying a section is available, only to click on it and show no seats to select will constantly confuse and annoy me. Even when switching to let it 'find the best seats for you' it'd often show 3 or 4 options but when you...
