I don’t care about PSG but you’re now basically through rather than likely eliminated due to one of the worst decisions anyone will see this season.

Surely you’re not dumb enough to think anyone cares about some imagined decision that might go against you several rounds later.

Just flagging the hypocrisy from a fanbase who pretended they wanted improvements in refereeing and weren’t just crying because they wanted decisions in their favour….

Hang on - Arsenal fans assured me they weren’t bed wetting over losing, they wanted referees/VAR to improve. Then there’s comments like this showing the reality….

My only worry with increasing the squad size is that it would make the league even more uneven, as the big clubs hoover up more talent.

I know r/soccer hates Newcastle but what’s happening to them at the moment is a poster for what’s wrong here (so are Brighton, and others, and indeed most clubs have big injury lists).

Club gets to the champions league spot for the 1st time in ages, spends basically the max allowed by FFP to try to increase the squad to cope but it’s nowhere near enough. Yesterday 10+ out after getting several back post international break. Their 25 man squad left the line up as including a 17 year old in the first 11, 3 goalkeepers on the bench, 4 kids with basically 0 prem mins and 2 semi-retired lads whose ages probably sum to 112.

If we’re not to change to less games, do away with injury time (by punishing harshly any time wasting perhaps?). Or could some forced rotation work - eg in baseball they often play 5 days in a row but have different pitchers each day. Could limit the number of starters who are allowed to play a mid-week game after playing 70+mins at the weekend.

They’re not going to strip titles. As we’ve just seen with Everton the punishment won’t apply to the season they committed the crime.

If they are ever found guilty then, at that point, it’ll apply for the current and/or future seasons.

The average 14 year old is clearly more intelligent…

However long Arsenal fans cry about it - they can’t escape the reality. This was a red but it was the less egregious and later of two such incidents. On balance Arsenal weren’t screwed over by the refs and still lost.

Just a reminder that Havertz launched himself studs up at shin height and 3 Newcastle players, including the 1 that alarmist had his career ended, got yellows for it. Officially, and unbiasedly, a much worse decision.

Then later when multiple Arsenal players surrounded the ref, including 8 of them for the correctly seated goal, no yellows.

Considering the unbiased panel (rather than Arsenal fans£ decided this was 3-2 and Havert 5-0, and you want a 6 game ban for Bruno I’m sure you’ll also be arguing for a much longer ban for the much clearer red……

Seems to me like Newcastle deserve an apology - 5-0 saying Havertz should have been sent off is pretty damn clear cut.

Change FFP. Everyone can argue about how, but it’s currently designed to help the top clubs stay where they are and hence prevents the evening up you ask for.

In some sense removing FFP would help, eg Everton wouldn’t be facing a points deduction for trying to compete. But that would have its own problems.

An absolute cap on yearly spending for salaries/transfer fees applied to all clubs equally could be a dramatic change, but would be wildly unpopular with the big clubs.
