KdB on his way down is still better than 99% of the players in the league.KDB has peaked and on the way down now IMO.
It is the time for Foden to now step up to the plate on a consistent basis
You can seen the whole line. I know the ball is behind Bowen's knee, but can you see any of it? That should tell you whether it crossed the line.Clearly you say? Neither pic in the tweet show the ball crossing the line.
Agreed. It's great to see football fans come as one and have a good laugh at Arsenal.Everyone getting in to use up their 2023 reserve of shit talking. Beautiful to see fans from every team trying to get one in![]()
You didn't lose because of Var though. It was hardly a clear and obvious error for it to be ruled out. Thing is You were just poor. Eventually you were bound to be caught by your subpar performances.You can seen the whole line. I know the ball is behind Bowen's knee, but can you see any of it? That should tell you whether it crossed the line.

It's part of the fun, we eventually had to move on from Chelsea/UnitedAgreed. It's great to see football fans come as one and have a good laugh at Arsenal.
It reminds me of 99/00. Nobody bothered to capitalise while United were sunning themselves in Brazil. Then they returned and won the title by 18 points.It's part of the fun, we eventually had to move on from Chelsea/United![]()
Not a massive upgrade on Holding for me.I totally forgot about him. That's another one who is hardly a great rb or cb.
Why would an offside goal stand ?If Garnacho's goal had stood we would be just 3 points behind the Goons!
Or if we had been correctly awarded a penalty for Gabriel wrestling Højlund to the ground.Why would an offside goal stand ?

Offside? Yeah right.Why would an offside goal stand ?![]()

True.Or if we had been correctly awarded a penalty for Gabriel wrestling Højlund to the ground.
Arteta spent more of his career under Moyes than under PepTweet

Arteta must be a real miracle worker if he’s getting all these “bang average players” ( Rice, White, Jesus, Zinchenko etc.) to challenge City for the title.Good post. I think White for £50m gets less scrutiny because of Maguire for £80m. He's just Lewis Dunk with a sunbed.
If he could stay in his technical box, he'd easily challenge for the quadruple every seasonArteta must be a real miracle worker if he’s getting all these “bang average players” ( Rice, White, Jesus, Zinchenko etc.) to challenge City for the title.
I don't think any of them are bang average players (maybe zinchenko is) but the point is you may very well have to upgrade them if you want to win the title.Arteta must be a real miracle worker if he’s getting all these “bang average players” ( Rice, White, Jesus, Zinchenko etc.) to challenge City for the title.
Reminds me of "Salah is a one season wonder" because he keeps cutting in and shooting.They haven't bottled it. They've just lumped on that front three performing and I think they're all slightly overrated.
I said last season that Saka leaves me a bit cold. Got slated for it. Good player but he's just very robotic for me, same thing over and over. Mid paced and its all cut inside shoot.
Martinelli just isn't that good and Jesus we all know doesn't score lots.
City will likely win the league. Not because they're great but due to having two genuine goalscorers and the least amount of injuries.
Nah Salah is just a much better player. He's exciting to watch, there's some unpredictability about his game even in this age of regimented play. His pace alone makes him more dangerous and more entertaining to watch.Reminds me of "Salah is a one season wonder" because he keeps cutting in and shooting.
Well, it's called managing.Arteta must be a real miracle worker if he’s getting all these “bang average players” ( Rice, White, Jesus, Zinchenko etc.) to challenge City for the title.
I mean he bought them all didn’t he?Arteta must be a real miracle worker if he’s getting all these “bang average players” ( Rice, White, Jesus, Zinchenko etc.) to challenge City for the title.
I sort of agree with your point, but you have to say, bar this summer, the signings have been made in mind to allow us to establish a system and way of playing to allow us first to get back in the Champions League, and then hopefully keep us there, so the likes of Zinchenko and Jesus were important parts in that.I mean he bought them all didn’t he?
Anyway, Rice isn’t average. He’s a really good player.
The issue with Arteta, or the recruitment team, is in my opinion they have wasted money in the wrong areas.
Zinchenko wasn’t really an upgrade on Tierney, Raya wasn’t over Ramsdale, Havertz seems unnecessary and cost a fortune whilst Jesus isn’t prolific enough to lead the line for a title winning team.
The club has spent a phenomenal amount on problems that didn’t need solving.
again that doesn't prove anything to me - it's inconclusive. We've already seen during the World Cup that the ball can in-play from the top view and look out of play from the side view. If nobody can conclusively prove the ball went out of play then play should continue as normal.You can seen the whole line. I know the ball is behind Bowen's knee, but can you see any of it? That should tell you whether it crossed the line.

Can it? Surely as long as the camera is directly above or directly in line on the side view then that takes out the curvature of the ball argument?again that doesn't prove anything to me - it's inconclusive.

yep - this demonstrates it well:Can it? Surely as long as the camera is directly above or directly in line on the side view then that takes out the curvature of the ball argument?
Agree about the rest of your post though, they just can’t give it because Bowen’s leg is in the way, but it does look out to me, as when they fast forward and rewound frame by frame you could see the curvature of the ball break the line.

That’s different though, that’s similar to the 1 at Newcastle, where we didn’t have a view directly in line with the touch line. In the image posted earlier, you have a view right along the touch line. The problem is that Bowens leg obscured the view, so I totally get why they allowed the goal, but if his leg wasn’t there you’d have a really good viewpoint that takes into account the curvature of the ball. Same if you have a camera directly above the line.
I agree with the Cliff here.All of this ball over the line talk is irrelevant. Just like against Newcastle the problem with Arsenal has been scoring, when team sit deep and can defend set pieces well Arsenal struggle to score this season. It's a pattern.
Well his leg obstructing the view of the ball means you can't really say its over the line conclusively.That’s different though, that’s similar to the 1 at Newcastle, where we didn’t have a view directly in line with the touch line.

In saying that….

Understood, I was only answering your point about top cameras and side cameras, agree with the rest.Well his leg obstructing the view of the ball means you can't really say its over the line conclusively.
Also - i'm not disputing it changed the game or anything, just simply pointing out that it wasn't conclusive like the original person i replied to said - using the words 'its was clearly out'.
And that 1% would be himselfKdB on his way down is still better than 99% of the players in the league.
He lost all respect when he continued to player on bail and under investigation for being a serial rapist. If convicted, he'll be one of the worst sex offenders in British legal history. Trying to win a league title more important than safeguarding the public though.Arteta must be a real miracle worker if he’s getting all these “bang average players” ( Rice, White, Jesus, Zinchenko etc.) to challenge City for the title.
