Aye, history is been re-written here regarding last season. He only had like 3 'bad' games around Christmas and was very solid otherwise even at LB.

Such an unnecessary dig. Would expect him to start for most teams outside the big 6 tbh.

Where's the line between clearly missed offside and one you let go? You would just be moving the line and have even more controversy. It can be infuriating but it's the only way and relying on just the lino would be madness, it's an impossible job for a pair of human eyes.

Get in Barnes! Redemption.

Nice of him to remind us all he actually is on the pitch.

I would hope our management has more data to base these decisions on than how they looked in the last match.

"Fans"?

Huh, RW?

No idea how VvD walks from that without a red. Shocking decision.

Van Dijk should see red for that 10 times out of 10. Absolutely ridiculous, that’s a suspension in NHL ffs.

Feel good about my decision to boycott the football side here after the last two results.

Without thinking much I put them like this: Kompany Ferdinand Van Dijk Stam Terry Vidic Carvalho Adams Campbell Stones

IMO Club World Cup is a decent idea and something that has been lacking. The problem is there's just no room for it in the current calendar and players are finally talking about the too many matches they are made to play every season.

I would be shocked if it isn't playing a part in the decision like.

Decent half that. Silly goal to concede and make it hard for us. Just have to finish better in the second half and we'll win this.

Probably someone who watched our last match at Nottingham.

It's load management too. He played 180 minutes for Italy while Longstaff hasn't played in two weeks. Sucks for us but that's international football.

Was just thinking the same.

Even if that was 100% true, it would be irrelevant in our case. Infrastructure spending wouldn't limit our spending on the team at all. There's probably an argument to build the new stadium now when it isn't part of the financial bullshit limits yet. I don't have a strong opinion on either direction and would love to stay at renovated SJP but I do recognise it's basically impossible to make SJP suitable for a regular top 4 club. Location means you can't expand it enough and the corporate stuff where the big money is would always be badly lacking compared to our peers. New stadium would still have to stay in the city centre and it would have to be within a walking distance from the centre.

Do you really think this has happened because they moved away from Highbury? Timing of it is just a coincidence, if they had built Emirates a decade earlier they still would have won the league multiple times under Wenger.

Class from Davis but Delap has to score.

I think you can give the pen there as the ball was played from far away and he just purely miscontrols it instead of an unlucky bounce.

Havertz is so underrated now based on these posts. He's not amazing but he's nowhere near flop or garbage status. His size, strength and technical ability are rare in the same package and he's so versatile too.

I don't get how this kind of speculation is still a thing, it's an absolute joke. Happens anytime someone desirable outside the cartel hits some good form. Unique to football too, never see this shit in other sports. You can praise the player without telling the world where he should go next or be a perfect fit for some other team. Never see them drooling over big 6 players moving to Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern either.
