@grok@beedey4u So does it mean that with today's rule, Chelsea would be under the same scrutiny that Manchester City are going through at the moment?
Is their achievement honorable or fair to the other 19 EPL clubs given how it was achieved through financial doping.
@dinoonoo They spend 400+ Million on attacking talents and was looking forward to a glorious period.
But their dreams faces a wall built by Arteta who spent 200+ Million on elite defence.
Imagine their horror, when they can't even register a shot on target, never mind a challenge.
@grok@beedey4u would their golden era be possible without Abramovich pumping money into their club that has nothing to do with the club's capacity of earning that money.
can we consider their growth an organic growth.
or sporting wise its more akin to financial doping.
@grok@beedey4u Comparing Chelsea before Abramovich and after Abramovich against Arsenal.
Which is the most successful club.
Which is the bigger club.
Which has more world wide support and fans.
@grok@beedey4u How much is their debt in today's money accounting for inflation.
So would it be safe to say that Abramovich is the turning point for Chelsea FC. Had he not bought and put money in they're more likely to become real average and possibly relegated.
@grok@beedey4u Why is Arsenal the focus of so many hate, banter, critics post from rival fans compared to other clubs.
Is it because Arsenal is a foul club. Or is there another reason to it.
@grok@beedey4u So why are fans from Chelsea FC, Man Utd FC, Liverpool FC, Man City FC doubting or even criticising Arteta.
Does that prove Arteta is bad, or are there other reasons they're picking bone with Arteta and Arsenal.
@w_bravel Doesn't matter, so long as we win the EPL again.
Whatever the opposition fans throws at us, it feels like birds chirping at the background.
Supporting Arsenal to another EPL.
Would even love to see the day Opposition fans feel EPL is boring now that only Arsenal is winning.
Since the Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel’s announcement yesterday on the Timber-Isak penalty incident, people have been asking why the panel didn’t make a judgement on the Nyoni-Ødegaard challenge.
Under the current guidelines, the Nyoni-Ødegaard incident didn’t qualify as a Key Match Incident because it didn’t meet the threshold for non-VAR incidents.
VAR didn’t intervene because the challenge was considered ‘reckless’ (yellow card) and not ‘serious foul play’ (red card). VAR don’t get involved in what they deem to be yellow card incidents, even if, as in this case, the referee didn’t issue a yellow.
For the Nyoni challenge to rise to the threshold of ‘serious foul play’ (where the safety of the opponent was endangered) it would have to be considered a 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘀 challenge with 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲.
It could be argued that studs don’t need to be “high” to rupture an opponent’s achilles and that body weight alone exerts significant force so maybe a law change is justifiable.
As things stand, it’s a subjective judgement by officials. Another grey area.
🇨🇳 Así se ve el nuevo Matebook Fold S de Huawei. Bastante curioso.
Con razón los yanquis han prohibido los productos de Huawei, en su afán por defender el libre comercio (🤣), pero, no os preocupéis, que os saca algo parecido Apple en 2 años y lo tenéis.
Remember when Arsenal were top of the league and we used to hear:
"They'll bottle it."
"It's only November."
"They're just place holders."
"We all know how this ends."
"We don't know how the elephant gets to the tree, but we know it'll fall."
"Let's see them do it in April."
"Same old Arsenal."
Funny how Arsenal are topping the table in November, but suddenly everybody has developed selective amnesia. 😂
Where are the elephants? Where are the bottle jokes? Where are the countdowns to Arsenal's annual collapse?
Apparently, Arsenal winning the league didn't just end the drought. It ended the vocabulary too. 😭❤️
Turns out Arsenal weren't place holders. Some people were just placeholders for original football opinions. 😂
🎙️ Martin Zubimendi on what he has discovered about himself during this period:
🗣️ “That I’m patient. When you’ve been playing a lot of minutes and your role changes to not playing as much, I’m able to see the positive side.
“I think everything passes, that just like last year the opposite happened to me and I played practically everything, this can change very quickly.”
