Doesn't exactly shine the light of glory on Arsenal's 2-2 at Watford least weekendQuote:

But midweek against a strong side in Frankfurt it was a different energised ArsenalQuote:

Even the press who are biased plantpots most of the time have scored him 10 out of 10 in some papers. Come on Chelsea later this afternoon. WHU doing ok that first half.....Quote:

COYI!
I was visiting a friend in hospital this afternoon so haven't seen any of the game but the result is enough! :smug:
Commentators trying to stir up the VAR debate. The Chelsea 'goal' was offside, not by much but it was off and that is the point of VAR. It is binary. Either it is offside and not a goal or it is onside and is a goal. That's why the tech was brought in.
Agree with this. It's either on or off. You can't start saying 'yeah but it was just a bit off'Quote:

Emery has to go. We are worse than under Wenger and he has had money to spend. I'd like to see them go for someone like Eddie Howe.Quote:

Here's more controversy for you, but I'd like to see us try someone like Arteta...Quote:

Actually Mourinho is available, I'm firmly in the camp that thinks he's a great manager

It's not a matter of patience, but of progression...I've been one of the last who wanted Wenger out and will again be one of the last to call for a change of management, but it is thoroughly disappointing that 14 months into Unai's tenure we still don't have a comprehensive formation or game plan - the defence and midfield are no better than under Wenger and if it wasn't for Lacazete and Auba (who are Wenger signings, let's not forget) the last year would have even less than a glimmer of hope.Quote:

Ha ha...jokes aside, we've been terrible and got bailed out by a penalty, a lucky break and a piece of individual skill. The lack of footballing direction is still deeply worrying and we haven't controlled the midfield since Ceballos debut against Burnley...Quote:

Please no. The Premier League has been a much more pleasant place since all of the “nasty” managers left.Quote:

You say that but they've been much worse since he left. Mourinho won trophies at UtdQuote:

I think you'd change your mind pretty quickly if he ended up at Arsenal.
Was a great manager. There's a reason (imo) that he's been sacked from his last 2 jobs, and there doesn't seem to be a queue forming for his services.Quote:

Someone else that is also only given a few months?
Anyway, going to take my mind off woeful football performances with a bit of blood-letting...Peaky time approaches.
I couldn't understand why they gave him a contract so early on. Totally unproven manager, were he not a former player he wouldn't of even been considered for the job.

Watford weren’t poor, City were brilliant. There’s a subtle difference.Quote:

You absolutely can say that because of the HUGE (relatively speaking) margin of error of the tech. A quick player can move around a metre at full sprint in the time it takes for a frame to move on TV. The camera's frame rate simply isn't quick enough. So if a player is caught offside by a shoe-size or a knee's breadth on camera how do we know the moment the ball actually left the boot? And how do we know that the player wasn't actually onside by up to half a metre at that moment?Quote:

For the sake of a millimetre or two which may or may not be correct?
Interesting hearing Keane bemoan the fact that they seem reliant on James for a spark (a player that was playing in a lower division for Swansea last year), but didn't seem to have a problem with a manager with a similar background.Quote:

I agree with what you're saying but still stand by my original point - now the technology is in use the genie is out of the bottle.Quote:

If the guy is offside - as shown by the tech - then it has to be flagged as offside. If you don't you're back to square one of having the human error element or the human point of view.
As I say I don't disagree with your point, but if we're using VAR then it has to be onside / offside. Not offside but we'll let it slide as he might be onside.
FWIW - I didn't realise the tech had such a margin of error either.
The only problem with VAR for offside, as has been mentioned by pundits, is that there is no tech to clearly define when the ball was released to accurately measure if someone was offside at the time of the pass.Quote:

You want the talk after the weekend to be about the games, not VAR
