I read MLS are introducing new rules next season and I think these are some good changes worth implementing:

Off-field treatment rule• If a player is suspected of injury and remains on the ground for more than 15 seconds, the referee will stop play and call for medical staff. The player will be removed from the field and remain off for at least two minutes for evaluation and treatment.

Timed substitution rule•Substituted players must leave the field within 10 seconds. If a player doesn’t leave within 10 seconds, the incoming player must wait 60 seconds before entering.

In-stadium VAR announcements•Referees will announce and explain VAR decisions.

I just had a thought… what if we spent a day only posting in c/football… I didn’t say it was a good one.

I agree with you though. I burnt myself out on sport a long time ago. I used to watch a bit of everything until I hot a wall and stopped everything completely.

I started following again around the end of the Wegner era and now I usually only stick with Arsenal related content. r/football was how I kept up to date with stuff.

But, I’m glad c/gunners is active and with a range of people with open minds (at least I try to)

I’d say we’re kinda like ouroboros then. I feel like you help create a consistent structure that provides a platform for the community to flourish.

Is that the ‘Silence in the Library’ and ‘Forest of the Dead’ episodes? If so, one of my favourite episodes. Kinda creeped me out a little when I first watched it.

I’ve been watching highlights on the Palace V ManU game and United do not look cohesive in so many aspects. Their defending and goalkeeping aside, it didn’t look like they knew their roles for some of their set pieces.

On one of their free kicks, Eriksen is telling the United players lined up in the attack what to do. I know the team discuss what roles/tactics they are going to use, but it didn’t look like anybody knew what they were supposed to do.

You can see Eriksen giving Evans instructions, then Garnacho, then he steps away from the ball to go tell Antony and others lined up instructions. And even after that Evans looks kinda clueless on where he should stand. Give him the benefit of the doubt and maybe he was just trying to position himself according to the defensive line.

This is nice to see. Welcome! :)

Thinking about the space between the United defence and midfield, this could be a game Martinelli could do well in with his pace

nuggsy, 19 days ago

I take your point. That is very doctor-esque though, lol

But that could be one of those “fixed” points in time where his hands are tied. Because doesn’t she help keep things running? I’ve forgotten what CAL did

nuggsy, 19 days ago

I’m no expert, and it was only highlights, but it just stood out. To me, it looked like Eriksen was trying to set up for the attacking set piece in the moment, which maybe indicated it wasn’t one they ran drills on or practiced.

I guess, also to the point you made, they seem to be short on leaders, which is something we suffered with for a while too.

There’s so many reasons this should be an easy fixture. But it is Manure who have a player or 2 who can pull shit out of their arse and have it turn to gold.

I don’t think it’s as bad since I first saw it, but I still really don’t like the kit, lol. It was different though?

I think my favourites from Addidas are still 21/22 blue lightning 3rd kit and 19/20 bruised banana away. There have been some other really quality jerseys, though, but those are the ones I’ve worn the most.

Also, because I have Ødegaard on the 21/22 one xD

nuggsy, 19 days ago

Right, I thought so. She essentially saves it. I want to say that maybe there’s no way of reversing what happened, but there are so many possibilities and universes that it seems impossible there isn’t some solution.

Which kinda leads me back to it being a fixed point in time. Which also feels like a bit of a cop out excuse

nuggsy, 19 days ago

Yeeeaahh… you’re not entirely wrong there, lol

Real Madrid to knockout Bayern? :)

Live long and propser

nuggsy, 23 days ago

Well deserved!! Gabriel and Saliba deserve a finger or two, lol

As well as the defensive cohesiveness of the team as well if I’m honest

nuggsy, 23 days ago

Ohh wow, that would be amazing as a 14 yr old

nuggsy, 24 days ago

And they were both from set pieces, too… lol.

How can you look at that and not invest time in set pieces. I think Ange is completely wrong.

nuggsy, 25 days ago

Neither… Is there a rumour floating around?

nuggsy, 25 days ago

Feck

I like the idea that either we just straight up say no, or we entertain the idea and Rammers straight up says no.

But, he’s looking for regular football, as he should, and I cant blame him of he does decide Chelsea is his destination. As indicated, they’re in such shambles, I think it’s a terrible idea and could be worse for his career

nuggsy, 26 days ago

I was thinking this too

nuggsy, 27 days ago

I completely understand it. I’m by no means saying he’s not at fault for the mistake and you can definitely point to that as a key moment of when the momentum started to swing. You could also argue that it caused a domino effect where Rice ends up in an uncomfortable position that leads to the penalty, etc

I suppose I was more looking at it (although a limited viewpoint, lol) from an individual performance and not so much as a whole.

nuggsy, 27 days ago

That’s fair and I completely understand where you’re coming from

nuggsy, 27 days ago

Man, I almost feel like they will out of spite for us beating them and to disrupt our push for the title xD

We can only hope they put in a performance to try qualify for CL

nuggsy, 27 days ago

You would think so. I would hate to think our players would do the same thing just to spite Spurs.

Sounds great in theory and as a joke, but I would be appalled on moral and ethical grounds if Arsenal threw a match just to affect a rival team
