Premier Lg EPL Matchday 16 - On Stan Sport

[Topkent]

With Arteta though he's not losing the players and he's not costing the club, he's built a powerful young squad. The only question would be is there someone better who could do more? I'm not sure there's that many managers

 

[SM]

Because if he finishes 2nd and trophyless 4 seasons running that's a clear indication that he doesn't have what it takes to win trophies?

Or it shows that there's incredibly fine margins and that "what it takes" can often be a bit of luck in a one off game? E.g your winner against wolves this morning.

Does Arteta survive if they don’t win one of the CL and EPL?

I think he does, Arsenal arent a ruthless club.

Though they have now spent a billion under him so the pressure would be immense next season.

But in saying that I think they'll win the league this season still.

Thats the other bit - is there a better option out there or does a new manager take the club backwards?

Personally I'd rather have a stable management team that shapes a consistent style and philosophy over the long term that is challenging consistently rather than resetting each year or two.

The Arsenal/Wolves games had 2 reds missed as well, VAR is just dogshit.

Are you talking about the Hwang Hee-chan tackle on Myles Lewis-Skelly? He was a bit out of control but didn't catch him high. VAR has been told to only intervene for clear and obvious errors.

I thought the ref was consistent in letting some physical stuff go. Timber didn't get a card for clattering a Wolves player from behind. Eze wasn't penalised for kicking Gomes in the head.

Am I not allowed to have an opinion about my own manager?

No you are not

 

[Cruyff14]

5 points clear. Keep on keeping on.

 

[Zidane98]

Words cant describe what a legend this bloke is



Trying to dig it up the stat - if I recall he's scored goals against keepers born in the 60s,70s,80s,90s and 2000s!

I actually reckon he is the sort of bloke that keeps playing in lower leagues rather than retire.

That is unless England needs Milner for the ashes as he was reportedly a gun cricketer when young

 

[DBAH0]

What a start.

 

[DBAH0]

And back in front, thank you very much.

 

[Plugger35]

Glad I picked the Hammers v Villa game to watch, action aplenty so far with 2 of my EPL SC players Watkins and Bowen scoring.

 

[Plugger35]

Watkins goal now being called an own goal from Mavraponos, give me a f***ing spell.

 

[samFFC]

Was shocked Palace City wasn’t the main game on Goal Rush. Usually it’s the annoying/lopsided City or Arsenal game, so when they had the option to have Palace away, they didn’t pick it?

And then Sunderland game has been a real letdown…!

I think that was always the case?

Sunderland v Newcastle is the first Tyneside derby in donkeys years apparently so it's a big deal up North, no one else cares.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Palace v City. Two very good teams. Cherki is a joy to watch.

 

[Plugger35]

Bowen scores again but flagged for offside, frustrating.

I think that was always the case?

Watkins is on only 1 point in SC currently so the assist hasn't been awarded.

 

[Plugger35]

What a strike from Rogers to put Villa in front, I need to get him into my SC team instead of Watkins who has been subbed off.

Incorrect given Sky have sent Gary Neville there.

Biggest Derby in the country arguably but all right

A comment equivalent to saying nobody outside of Adelaide ever gives a shit about or watches a Showdown. Clueless stuff.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Forest 3-0 over Spurs.

Hudson-Odoi's 2nd and Sangare's strike were superb. Check them out.

Breathing space finally.

What about the West London derby between Chelsea and Fulham? That's a cracker that one.

Speaking of derbies, what happened to Derby County? They were in the top flight when I lived there in the noughties.

 

[TY24]

What about the West London derby between Chelsea and Fulham? That's a cracker that one.

Given both clubs are in Fulham I'd call it the Fulham derby
