@thfcshelfside1@hbrooks_coach We could…if he and the other club agree. Noises are he won’t agree to that. So do we let a high value asset rot in the reserves, play him despite the manager not rating him, or sell him?
@IanDarke@Graeme_McGarry After 4 years of one manager being backed with most transfers he wants and spending £1bn? I’d hope he has a squad good enough to compete with the best at this sport we call football. Not rugby.
Justice tonight. And it’s sweet
Arsenal have set the record for the lowest possession percentage for a team playing in a Champions League final (since records began in 2003-04).
The previous lowest record was also Arsenal, set in the 2006 Champions League final, which they played 72 minutes with 10 men.
@MUFCDarren_ To quote our man Alan “ In tournament football, you need warriors, leaders, players with personality. “
Well…you say that…that’s what we’ve always chosen and how’s that gone for us?
Maybe. Just maybe. Technically brilliant footballers who fit into a manager’s vision are best.
@Lukathfc I actually think you’re right…but it does call into question the sense of the rules. “Do what the fuck you like apart from violent play until the ball is kicked”. Really?
@AnasFTL I get the anger but i also get RDZ breeding a culture of no excuses. Will whinging about today affect Sunday? Not likely but it might make some players feel hard done by.We want them fired up and owning their own destiny. I’ve no doubt long term RDZ will complain plenty. Not now.
@lewisaaron_wood@Kish_P14 Either you’ve doctored this or sky sports have doctored their footage. They did just show the ball not yet live when VDV was going down. The IFAB rules need reviewing but as it stands I think it’s fair. However…surely one of these at some point have to fall out way!!!
Could not agree more with @hbrooks_coach here. Football is not the main event any more, the focus is on cheating, ducking, diving, “marginal gains”, avoiding responsibility. Just express yourself and play front-footed football that showcases your ability. The rest will come.
I repeat…
Certain actions and decisions made tonight.
It’s just not what the prem should be.
And a lot of it is in the individuals hands just to take care , have standards and understand what good actually is, and if you’re going to lose the ball how to lose it in the right way.
Nothing original to say about the state of football in this country that hasn’t been said. I can only hope Arsenal winning the title this way will make the others bring the joy back to football. This isn’t the sport we fell in love with. Cynical, boring, cheating💩@OfficialFPL
