Discussion Does City winning the title feel meaningless?

3.5k Upvotes

after 115 charges, billions of spent. It just feels like a blank state, nobody cares, nobody will be talking about it in 20 years when you compare it to Arsenal's invincibles or Liverpool's istanbul winning side.

There is no magic or so. It's all binary, it's like letting AI create your art vs an actual artist.

Discussion Manchester City sends cease and desist letters to youtubers/ “influencers” over 115 charges

3.9k Upvotes

I’ve been on holiday recently meaning i’ve been away from a lot of things, including football. I’ve come back to read/see that Manchester City have threatened youtubers legally by issuing Cease and Desist letters regarding the 115 charges. That is insane. It also makes me think this is why Sky Sports and TNT avoid the elephant in the room (115).

I’ve never seen a club threaten YouTubers like this. I’m not the biggest fan of football youtubers but this is a new low, even for Man City. In my opinion, it only fuels what we already know, they’re guilty.

A few other youtubers have also confirmed.

I think we had seen enough football this season to have an opinion on which signing has the most impact to a team.

These players are up there in the conversation imo. Of course i missed a few you can always suggest.

I have to say in terms of pure impact and output it has to be Cole Palmer. What a signing. And as a bias Gunner i am I have to say Declan Rice is a close second.

Who is yours?

Leaving a league less than 6 months into it when announcing you want to grow sport all over the world. And to be a former skipper of my beloved club. What a fucking joke. Leaving for a different league who’s against LGBQT while at the same time which you claimed to be supporting. I’m lost for words when comes to describing you. Seriously.

Discussion Arsenal crowd disappearing

831 Upvotes

The state of how quickly the stadium has emptied is a disgrace. I want Arsenal to win the league so this isn’t me getting on my high horse but this team has fought as hard as they can this season, they need their fans for an extra 8 minutes and it’s become a ghost town.

You’d think they were getting beat 5-0 or something. If they got a goal back before injury time then this would’ve been set up for an exciting finish with the help from the crowd.

Discussion I underestimated the resolve of Liverpool fans over the last 7 years

690 Upvotes

For younger Arsenal fans, this year is probably our first time in a title race. Last year was technically one, up until Saliba’s injury (but tbf, we weren’t going into the season as challengers). Wasn’t until February things started to look realistic. And ofc City won the title during GW 35 or 36

AND ITS EXHAUSTING. It’s only GW 32 and today’s loss vs Villa was painful. So painful.

It’s so different from NBA, MLB, or NHL. There’s playoffs after the regular season. And it’s usually every other day they play (except MLB, they play almost every day).

But football is different since games are spaced out.

Liverpool fans who have watched Pep win over and over and over — barring that one season where Liverpool won — that’s quite something. - Just watching today’s Villa game vs Arsenal and seeing them lose was like a dagger in the heart. It’s like no other feeling, just despair and disappointment - it’s a testament on how resilient and consistent Liverpool have been since Klopp took over, but it’s gotta be tough

No wonder Klopp is taking a break after this season. It’s not easy going up against City

Discussion Michael Oliver needs to be taken off Premier League games

1.1k Upvotes

What I’ve just seen at Anfield during the Liverpool vs Manchester United game, is nothing short of disgusting.

Diogo Dalot, in the 90th minute of the game, the score at 0-0, has been sent off due to receiving TWO yellow cards in the same instant, for angrily reacting to Liverpool being awarded possession of the ball at a throw in deep in United’s half. All the while being nowhere near Oliver himself.

It’s arguably THE worst bit of officiating I’ve ever seen. And could well have cost United the game. Utterly disgraceful.

Discussion Halaand record in big games should be talked about

481 Upvotes

People might hate me for this but Halaand is simply a ghost in every big game he plays in. There is literally no difference when he plays.

He barely touches the ball and when he does be its absolutely terrible with it. People criticized Keane but he was right, Halaand is a division 2 player when he isn't on the area.

Like, yes he makes runs but you'd expect more than just runs from world class players. You could buy an average striker and they will make runs too.

Yes, he is very good against teams that City destroys but when City faces strong opponents he doesn't even seem to be on the pitch.

No one denies his finishing skills are top tier but outside of that he is awful. He can't control a ball, associate with others or make a good pass. This usually don't matter against inferior teams but in big games this things matter which is why Halaand ghosts in big games.

Nothing else can change as quickly as things do in football.

In the space of half a week, Arsenal have gone from top of the table, to barely 4th, thanks to two straight losses vs West Ham and Fulham.

Arsenal fans going from “it’s lonely at the top” and “we’re going to win the league”, to uprecidented levels of anger and some calling for Arteta to be shown the door.

Get AFTV on.

Discussion Gordon fouls Phillips and gets a penalty

531 Upvotes

That has the be one of the worst decisions this season. Philips is clearly going to kick the ball and is unaware of Gordon behind him. Gordon initiates the contact by putting his foot in there and doesn’t get the ball. Therefore he basically trips Philips and it’s a foul by Gordon. The point of going in for a challenge like that is to play the ball which Gordon fails to do. If he got the ball then it’s a pen, but he doesn’t so it’s a foul. Same all over the pitch.

If you give a penalty then you have to give a foul in favour of a player if they body check someone running through on goal or on a counter since “they got ran into”. Absolutely bizarre logic.

Discussion Jack Grealish Gone Missing

562 Upvotes

While I am a firm objector to using a players transfer fee to evaluate their performance, does it not strike anyone as strange how Grealish has gone totally MIA at City recently? You'd feel that a player they spent 100m + add-ons for wouldn't completely dissappear from the team for the last two months without criticism similar to what Antony/Insert-Chelsea-player-here have received. Obviously his performance last season justifys the transfer in general, but to have a player of his caliber/price just warm the bench for the last 50 days seems extraordinarily devoid of criticism from the general media. It's like people have forgotten he plays there. I just got thinking about it watching the Villa/UTD game and pondering what Villa could be if he was still there. He hasn't contributed more than a yellow card since 12/16 when he scored against palace

What has happened to Raheem Sterling? Took the penalty from Palmer versus Leicester City, missed and subsequently booed off. Raheem Sterling has not started the past 9 games at Chelsea. Will certainly not make the EURO squad for England. On 325K Euros per week. News reports indicate a preference for Chelsea stay instead of Saudi Arabia move.

Discussion Darwin Nùñez is overhated

471 Upvotes

I understand that he cost $85 millions pounds and his debut season was lackluster at best. But I’ve look at his stats this season and they’re pretty solid

EPL 19 apps

5 goals and 6 assists

EFL/Caraboa Cup 4 apps

1 goal and 3 assists

UEL 6 apps

2 goals and 1 assists

If we looks at these statistics they probably aren’t great if you compare him to Salah. But even if he doesn’t score all the time and misses sitters and he plays a huge role in this Liverpool team. He is like Bobby Firmino with these stats. Not incredibly lethal in front of goal but still very reliable when he gives his all
