as i said 999 i agree she had a good game but at that level whever is reffing should it was just funny to see how pundits were very careful what they said would have been different under a male ref

i just find it funny that when people break down barriers in sport or whatever it often goes completly theother way and no one seems to mind, its like the emporers new clothes!

much better game than i thought it woiuld be for the neutral
chelsea really stepped up and looked very dangerous and bar some better finishing would/should have won in normal time
Pulisic looks a very tidy player and nice to watch, real goal threat and his disallowed goal…for a second i thought it was Hazard!
Pool look a litle flat, but 2 games in…to be expected, strange team choice to start though i thought

female ref, this had me in stitches at full time, firstly she wa very good, not brilliant but very good, she did make a howler, that was never a pen, but then ANY ref could and have made those, the only dissapointment is VAR not overturning, evem one of the pundits said they likely did not overturn the result because of the situation and special circumstances and not wanting to make her look bad

this is where it gets silly and funny, the amount of crawling being done to not sau anything bad about a ref by any pundit pr host was cringy!!!

been making this point for some time, there are very very few elite level “stars” now than there used to be, so either all players have developed levels making the difference less noticable or they just arent as good…..but it may be me (us?) getting older and remembering when things were better! 😉

but look at all positions, name a top 3 (only 3) in each position from anyone in the world currently and compare them to the past names in each position

where is the next messi, ronaldo, aguero etc

maybe some will blossom over the next few years like ronaldo did when he came through but its pretty poor in my view

we all like a good bitch and AFTV was the best for it but that is histyory and down to the latter AW years….never mind you will have to just watch your own club play football and do well, really well right up till the tank 😉

i fear for Chelsea, i just think FL needs a bit more time and a few games under his belt with the squad….a big defeat and it could have a really bad affect, saying that any kind of result outside of that could lift them

Goose

our net spend is £55m i beleive so not far off and the way its been structured is very good too

if we get rid of Ozil to the US then this will be a dream window

VAR is looking very good and will have a big say this season…

well well well
the season is back and the first games done with, such a short summer it feels very strange when the kids are off for another 3 weeks!

good opening win for us, tricky away game in crap weather.
a win and a clean sheet, starange formation to begin with and finished with a stronger team!
but great to see so much youth getting a chance as well as our new lads all of whome i am very happy with indeed, we have done great business this summer (though still would have preferred a beast of a CB!

shame united got as many as they did that was not a 4-0 game…..

finally…..VAR is going to make a huge difference, been a great start for VAR and the system developed is much better than used in games last year or the womens world cup.

this will be the most real season ever…already VAR has correctly stopped wolves getting 3 points or stopping leicester getting 1 point….fine margins but over the course fo the season its the difference between winning and losing the pL or relegation or not….exciting start to the season!

it certainly is making a huge difference, years gone by Leicester would have had their pants pulled down and lost HM, thye can shrug it off and keep unless for a world record fee.

its also unsustainable as are the wages…so maybe this little “reset” wether forced or by choice and using more of pool of home grown talent isnt such a bad thing.

also seem to be far fewer real genuine “stars” these days, the old breed are dying out and the new breed are a pale shadow

hmm thats a tricky one mate and im up for a friendly bet.
First you have my lot known for moaning during Arsenal Fan TV and AW last years, but on the whole we a re pretty accepting bunch and i dont think any of us blame Emery more the board and lack of support and coheshive plan to compete

FL is loved but then chelsea fans have also shown to be fickle and far more vocal so if things go badly maybe they will hound him?

i think both will be safe personally but Ole needs to be careful 😉

442 see my link above about how quiet this window is currently for the PL clubs, its not just chelsea looking to youth and its not like you lot have much choice at present anyway so you may as well after all you had so many on the books it only makes sense

also Pepe has gone….so surprised that more where not in for him from all over europe, perfect fit for any top 6 team IMHO

Sean, thats pretty much my thoughts mate and the effort those players put in and played right up to the CL final to boot.

Trouble is as seen from last year you lost only 1 game all season and finished 2nd, id worry about dropping too many early points until the team is in a fit state to compete at that level again…unless city also drop a lot more points than last season it could see the gap widen, but its all ifs and maybes hopefully wont be the case and we have a similar contest to last year with a few others in the mix….that doesnt seem likley other than spuds again

i also have a feeling liverpool may actually struggle this year in the PL, none of there star players have had much if any rest in the summer and fatigue and injuries could see them get off to a slow start….i may be wrong but its a feeling i have…..

all our clubs still need players in with very little time remaining, this window has been very poor in general for the PL clubs IMHO

same could be said of clubs like Bayern and Barca too…only RM really seem to have made significant changes and additions…

i was expecting much more from this window all over than we have so far, its very odd

if if if with little to sign of any defenders coming in!! unless there is significant players coming in defence or Emery has a tactical change and focuses on defence we wont be anywhere near fourth….

AV have twice the budget we do!
