People on here will say premier league stadiums are simultaneously filled with tourists and violent aggressive home fans. It can’t be both in my head

I’m sure we are all capable of sitting through a game in any premier league stadium with any team.

I would agree but say that is not true for a reserved young person. Both tend towards being better leaders with age but which direction you need to move in that journey is different person to person.

Yes, football is more enjoyable when I notice patterns developing. It’s easy to do that when watching 1-2 games a week. Lately it’s been Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea being my team and Arsenal being a team that I know a lot of my friends support.

Are players running more? Are we learning to the longer term effects of super pressing? It’s not my leading suspicion but I think it could be a cause of it.

Talking about the number 10 like they are the last of the Jedis.

Teach us the way of the 10.

Yeah, it’s not the first time they’ve missed a questionable challenge. Things like that challenge will always get through because it really is subjective

I think we should move VAR to only things that are not subjective so hand ball and offsides.

I think they should be able to review things that happen off ball like the Bruno elbo just because the referee might not have been watching.

We do that and say soccer is meant to be judged in the moment. A push or foul can’t be judged accurately in slow motion. I don’t think diving can even be judged accurately. Most dives are bordering the players attempt to evade a bad challenge.
