Not saying anything.

I get your point but I can see more positives than negatives from the move. It would be an improvement.

Not if defending teams sat back and allowed no space to beat the offside trap.

Lines would still be drawn but advantage would go back to the attacker so we'd see more goals.

I sympathise with that view like, I just think you have to draw the line somewhere and if we draw it somewhere else it'll change the way teams defend and make the game more boring. High pressing would become nigh on impossible for a start and it would probably stop attacking teams from being able to break the offside trap because defending teams just wouldn't risk it.

Think Arsenal win with no Dembele and Partey back for them.

..there is that also

...there is that

I can't get away with it all. The idea that an immaterial body part is helping an attacker gain an unfair advantage just doesn't sit right.

You'd be just moving the line 2 yards back towards goal. Goals would still be chalked off because they're 2cm offside but it's probably easier to live with as it would give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker. I know it's the laws of the game but I still have massive issues with defenders playing attackers onside when they're 40 yards away on the opposite touchline - I know they're playing the same game but it's fucking miles away and they're never getting back and stopping the goal anyway

Might be famous last words but I think the automated offsides solves the problem tbh. It's pedantic but with clear yes/no calls like that I don't mind too much, it's that it's done quickly that matters I think.

If they go out I think they’ll be pretty much demoralised & their season over

Fulham 2-1 Everton Ipswich 1-2 Brentford Southampton 1-4 Man City Wolves 2-2 Brighton Bournemouth 1-1 Villa Newcastle 2-1 Chelsea Man United 2-1 West Ham Forest 3-1 Leicester Spurs 1-2 Palace Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal

Should just say your only offside if there's more than one part of the body ahead of the defender. That would eradicate the toe end controversy.

Remake the 1999/00 shirt. Simple & great

I'm still waiting for the remake of the yellow deckchair shirt.

Home kit every 2 seasons again please. It's too much to go through this every single year and it causes shitty iterations. Plus with all the extra Adidas clobber every 2 months it would all be very much fine.

Dunno if it's just my telly, but hasn't Jay Jay Okocha got a massive heed?

I couldn't stomach the sight of Arteta lifting the champions league. PSG to hammer them hopefully.

Fair point. Perhaps a buffer zone of some form would be better?

I don't think people have fully thought through what would happen with this tbh, teams dropping deep for example. And that the line that's drawn wouldn't be any less pedantic, it would just change location.

Going to be a long transfer window

Nah. Fuck Arsenal winning. Can’t be having Inter Bolton v Highbury Stoke in the CL Final. That’s one for the European Courts of Human Rights.

Final isn't for ages. Don't want their confidence boosted either.
