Kid Icarus

For me the biggest issues are offside and hand balls. One takes too long and uses an ineffective and pedantic looking method, the other too broadly open to interpretation. Offsides are a yes or no, so bringing in the system used in the World Cup and Champions League hopefully moves them into the realm of goal line technology where they're universally accepted and almost taken for granted. Hand balls need to go back to interpretation of intent in all cases, including when scoring goals. It won't be perfect, but it'll be better than what we have now. Fix them and imo you remove a huge part of the problem with VAR.

Will be absolutely staggered if they vote to scrap it.

I was going to say that stuff like this makes us compromised, but they did that by buying our football club tbh.

Are you alright?

My understanding of 'the law of large numbers' is that generally anything above 200 is considered representative of a group providing there's nothing untoward going on with participant selection. It can be manipulated but considering NUST's survey was sent out to all members and is six times that number I think the only demographic that might skew the results is that it's been filled out by the demographic of people who tend to fill in surveys

Aye he's proper gone in the huff there like. I see his point, but he's alienating himself and has a pretty short-sighted view on things if he thinks beating Man City, staying in the same position they'd be in if they lost, and handing your bitter rivals the title constitutes winning.

It represents almost half of the respondents from a quarter of the possible age demographics. Could be wrong but I think outside of voting systems majority just means the most.

Would Pope be alright with being number 2? He's a fantastic goalkeeper and would definitely fall into the too good to be a number 2 category.

So do I, it pales in comparison to losing to this Sheff United side at home.

Around 1200 contributed, that's canny good going considering anything above 200 is usually representative providing there's nothing dodgy going on.

If Spurs lose at the weekend it's comfortably the most Spurs thing that's ever happened. Sheff United winning is nigh on inconceivable

I normally hate Man City winning the title but fair play to the online Arsenal fans, they gave me a reason to prefer it.

Predominantly Gen X.

That poll would suggest otherwise like, but I get that it's annoying being in the minority.

I reckon it's a good idea to at least have the curiosity to think on the reasons why our city or our country being financially reliant on a state like Saudi Arabia might not be the best idea in the long run like. There's a pretty good example of what that leads to going on right now as well.

Well that's it settled then.

Because not everyone wants that.

Disingenuous man Don't be daft.

If the 3rd kit colours were based on the Juve 3rd kit template and based on the Man United 3rd kit template

The point is that the argument you're making now is how they get you. It's almost a check mate because it's very difficult to say you don't want your council to have close ties with Saudi Arabia for obvious reasons without it being met with the 'privileged' and 'blinkered' response. And that's exactly why they and tons of other organisations and states do it, so that they can make that argument or have it made on their behalf while they're essentially buying influence. In reality though, it's a false premise based on the assumption that kids can only be fed if councils go cap in hand to the Saudis, which is obviously not true.

This is really a bit of a false premise like. I totally accept the argument about capacity or 'making every penny count' or whatever, but the idea that it's either a permanent disadvantage or a disadvantage that's significant or a true difference maker just doesn't add up.

I really don't see how it is tbh, any hope/assumption or any other caveats you want to throw in there is covered by, not excluded by, the definition of preference. And preference is how the question's worded. I agree that there could be extra clarification through an extra 'if we can't do X, Y, and Z, what is your preference?' question, but until we know what X, Y, and Z are they could be any variety of things, hypothetical and would split the vote.

and that's how they get you.

...and in anticipation of the 'that'll be because they're all/mostly season ticket holders' argument:
