Mostly Arsenal. More Knicks posts than Giants posts. Maybe a little markets/risk arb? I dunno, let’s see how it goes here

I really strongly disagree with this. Why add a subjective component? That opens the door to all kinds of ref fuckery. Just leave it black or white

I honestly don’t think the rule is stupid. Marginal decisions are inevitable but fun when they go your way, eg Gabriel vs United

I never get people moaning about VAR for offside (other than when it’s slow.) Offside is one of the few rules of football that’s truly black and white, and enforcing it as such is the right thing to do

I trust a well read man like you has finished A Gentleman in Moscow?

Also this local Massachusetts weekly doesn’t have direct sourcing, they’re basically guessing

From what I watched we didn’t really try to get out of third gear

I don't know about you but this is exactly how I remember most of our other lower league FA cup ties in these 20 years

No fucking way I wake up at 4 for that, but also I wouldn’t admit that here lol

Please put in a rule to stop us taking throw ins so slowly, it’s for our own good!!

There’s a puncher’s chance of it at this point and that’s a pretty wild thing to be able to say

Fabian Hurzeler slammed Arsenal's time-wasting against Brighton but their ball in play time is above average this season Fabian Hurzeler accused Arsenal of time-wasting tactics after their 1-0 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday but what do the numbers reveal about the Gunners approach this season?

After so many years of playing well and losing, I can definitely say that playing like ass and winning is much funnier, if nothing else

Btw the solution to the “set piece problem” in PL football is to call fouls like that consistently as penalties while also nerfing the crowd-the-keeper strategy. Cause if you do the latter without doing the former you’ve shifted the balance of the league too much in favor of defending

A classic of the “foul but not a penalty” genre. Also of the “if they’d given it on the pitch the VAR isn’t overturning it”

Tbh I’d settle for scoring a goal. I suspect a boot to the throat would get us a red card

A draw there would be more than fine

Somebody is going to reply to this tut tutting about how I cannot notice the other score when Arsenal aren’t playing particularly well. Fair warning, if that person is you I may well give you a swirlie when you least expect it
