Everytime I see this thread bumped..

I'd happily throw VAR into the bin but find this injury talk a bit baffling. If the flag get raised then play continues anyway. Just different play. The same amount of football gets played overall. If someone wants to argue an injury is more likely in these goal scoring situations then go ahead. I'm all for the linesman raising their flag early btw if they're confident it's offside. It's very silly that they don't.

Thats only 5.7k a week. I’d have him!

If City cover the wages I’d take him

Exactly. Imagine breaking our wage structure... for Jack Grealish

Anyone that thinks we’re interested in loaning an out of form 30 year old on massive wages hasn’t been paying attention.

It's not about the norm; it only needs to happen once to demonstrate there's a risk. It was always going to happen eventually and it gets routinely referred to whenever anyone's discussing this modern flagging protocol. If the flag isn't delayed there's 0% chance a player gets injured in that passage of play. If the flag is delayed, there's X% chance a player gets injured. Any aspect of the game which increases the chance of totally avoidable injuries should be binned if possible. My bottom line is that it's just another thing in the cons list when it comes to VAR on offsides (as a unique concept).

Hope he gets fit again and doesn't turn into Woodgate 2.0

But if that happened Chelsea could end up below us as well.

Put that in colour I think it could be quite decent.

Would have smashed Leicester in the replay.

I'm not sure how he can be stunned. He will finally have been proven right, after all these years.

so glad forest chelsea and villa all play before us. advantage us.

The rise of the Stan from Alliance to the NPL and also becoming arguably the "coolest" non league team in the region (they certainly sell the best beer) has been brilliant.

I read an article about him the other day, seemingly been frozen out since the Lijnders left Salzburg….shame really

Gabe Kidd sporting some toon merch on last nights AEW Dynamite:

Any player out injured for as long as he's been is likely to pick up niggles when returning, especially mid-season. Saying "he's out for the season through injury" is ridiculous, btw. The season ends in 10 days ffs. At this stage, you could be out for the season through a severe toe stubbing.

I like it, those seahorses look hench as fuck. I don't think it will be it though, but simplify the castle/lion/flag part and sort out the perspective a bit and it's nice

Adidas releasing Arsenal's new kit for last game of season.

You're about to get CL due to a dodgy offside decision in a game without VAR!

It is bizarre really, but decades of being kicked in the nuts has made us that way. It's taking longer than it should to realise just how good we now are

He's struggling massively over there, not even making their matchday squads these days. Needs to start again in the Championship imo.

Exactly, it's good! In all seriousness the reactions to it are really confusing. To love the current badge but hate that is mad, it's just the current one made to look a bit meaner, that's it. It's also only a rough sketch.
