@lawrence_bury VAR is not the problem. The problem is that som many times these officials can look at blatant decisions and come to the wrong conclusion. Obviously we expect there will be some disagreements on subjective calls, but some are very scary. Notably no red for Dalot on Doku.

@piersmorgan Come on Piers, from the front you can see Madueke wraps his arm and then they both jostle.

@WelBeast Not as fun when the ref does not bow down to your team is it?

[Mathens @MathensFC]

@AFTVMedia Just cause you were used to the refs bowing down to you in the Prem, doesn't mean this ref. Nice to see you play a game with a neutral ref!

What justice that Gabriel, the man who evaded so many red cards and penalties in the Premier Leaue, was the one to sky the ball. #Gabriel #Arsenal #PSG #UEFA

@Its_Roddie @confoundjester Pick Sir Alex's best ten years and compare, if you are only concerned with win rate. Pep had 1 shot at a 10 year window, sir Alex had many 10 year windows to pick from.

[Mathens @MathensFC]

There is no debate, Pep is the greatest. 10 years is sufficient time tk be in the discussion, unlike under 5 years. Above that that you can compare win rates. Staying for x amount of years beyond that can't be what makes you the greatest because lilely no one else will stay that long even if they win 100% of their games.

Win rate alone does not do it though. You have to factor everything. The big thing in Pep's favour is tactical innovation and adaptability whilst implementing an overal ideology. Both are excellent man managers as well.

Another thing to consider is the general rule that sports improve over time. I find people generaly underestimate this effect. Look at athletics and swimming, WR times improve over time, best in the world 30 years ago would generally not compete in most top level races today. Why would team sports be any different?

Of course eventually this will hit a limit and we starting to see it in some sports already. But in general in most sports, take the best player or team from 20+ years ago and plunk them down today andnthey woild generally be bang average at best, with few exceptions.

For now Pep is thebgreatest manager of all time, for dominating the premier league when teams and players are at its best, per that rule.

@RealAdamPawlak @Sxmto_ 53 actually...

This is pretty scandalous

Just watch the whole video 🤯

[Mathens @MathensFC]

Something has to be done about time played in football. They added 6 minutes. 3 minutes and 20 seconds were not played aove normal out of play time. That was just the time from the extended stoppages. We played until 96:28. That is not acceptable and must be fixed. #ManCity

@CTGhost_ @FabrizioRomano Not even easy on paper

[Mathens @MathensFC]

@RealTalkMCFC @FabrizioRomano @wvrlfc_tez By some distance

[Mathens @MathensFC]

It is my opinion that Pep will end up staying one more year if Arsenal do win the title, but will likely leave if we somehow win it this year.

Obviously a massive shame when he leaves as I feel this new team he is building would be quite a force in the years to come with him.

@glvml85 @babaFut_ Thank you for sharing that.

Really interesting that IFAB has articles which materially change the rules from what is actually written in their rulebook, Laws of the Game.

[Mathens @MathensFC]

@FutPoliceLeaks Can you link to where in Laws of The Game by IFAB all of this is written? I looked through and could not find it.

@MetamateDaz The tax route is very innefficient. Muxh better direct to charity like this. More helpful value from every dollar to charity than every dollar taxed.

[Mathens @MathensFC]

@HilldurG @oqayowoqwq Ah, sorry.

[Mathens @MathensFC]

@Fish_andChipper @oqayowoqwq Someone else pointed this out to me as well. This could change my vote as they would essentially be random, I would lean blue.

However, if only able minded people are voting, Red is the only choice.

I do know what murder means, it means to unlawfully and unjustifiably kill someone.

Not risking your own life for someone else is never murder, even in real world cases where you obviously should. ie, you see a baby in a burning building that you are reasonably sure you can get to and get out. I would and think you should, but still not actually murder if you don't.

Certainly not murder in the case that the person in the building is an abled body adult who can simply walk out.
