No, Rice tapped the ball away in a very cunny fashion, a very very silly of him and that's a yellow card all day.

Pedro kicked the ball away in an obvious manner in the first half, was very silly of him and no yellow card, so no it was not a yellow card all day cause the referee was not consistent.
Game is done and we look forward to the North London derby next.

"Obligation to buy" - technically Sancho is on our books, you can't say the same for Sterling to Arsenal. You're helping us pay the bills + game time till next season.

You have an obligation to buy Sancho at the end of the season, there is no obligation for Arsenal to buy Sterling after the loan spell, very different deals. So yes, he is in your books and you are paying him to play for us.

Let's summarize. "Manchester city and Chelsea to win more trophies than Liverpool and Arsenal??."
City + Chelsea wins means you win, you get 3 mbtc
Liverpool + Arsenal wins means you lose, I get 3 mbtc

Leave me a neutral using the link of this post and we are in a good to go.

Yes, an easy win for you again this season. Leave a neutral if you can but I prefer CLS63 adding to the spreadsheet.

Sterling is finally off our book for good this season.

I have got it in my mind now.

I'm going to add the side bet into the spreadsheet tonight when I'm available. And I'm going to mention everyone in the spreadsheet next Friday for them to check whether everything is okay or not. Lastly I'm going to send a PM as a reminder to everyone who has their name in the spreadsheet at the end of the season.

That red card for Rice is bullshit. He was walking away when Veltman kicked the ball into the back of his heel. The he gets kicked in the calf for it? When I saw the red card I was sure it was Veltman who was getting ejected. What the literal fuck?

I knew in my bones Arsenal weren't quite clicking together. But I banked on them to lose and was actually fortunate for Brighton to get the point (cue red card). Something tells me they won't be the only team to lose their perfect record this weekend.

A rare collector's item also today with Traore's goal. I suppose he's thriving a lot more out of Wolves, who themselves seem to be doing ok even with their best player leaving. Mbeumo reminding us FPL people we forgot about him. DCL back on the scoresheet and with a nice assist. Foxes and Saints rediscovering the grim joyless grind of Premier League. And there's still 20 minutes to play.

Not a bad weekend eh?

I have no issue interpreting the rules by the books but you should be consistent with it and the referee was not consistent. Veltman not getting a yellow card for kicking Rice is another decision I did not understand. Even without Rice touching the ball, there was no kick on at the time.

This. Taken out of the game, this incident deserved a yellow card -- so the sending off. They both should have been carded, both trying to be silly and fked around, both should have found out.

Sterling is finally off our book for good this season.

You are still paying majority of his salary for the duration of the loan so he is not technically of your books. You are paying for him to play for us.

Better than sitting at home drinking our £300k+/week while doing nothing, this way you're paying 100k/week to try and get the best out of him for us, so we can milk £60m from you guys next summer or we sell to Saudi. £100k off our book is huge...

I really don't think so. They'll get some financial penalty and that will be it.
Then, next season, some poor bottom league team will be 1mil in the red and will get 30 points deduction.

It is more profitable to give them a financial penalty and still benefit from their presence in the league. It is about the money.

What's Chelsea's plan with Sancho? This is now getting beyond ridiculous.

To replace Mudryk, he may be heading to Arsenal or Manutd Next season, the dude is uncoachable, 3 Managers, same problem, he can't even do basic things right.

No, the last time I checked you had the title at your advantage for two consecutive seasons and ofcos you bothered it cause you were lacking a good striker and had to depend on shitty players like Jesus and Kai Havertz to score.

Did you say 'No' to us finishing 2 points off the eventual champions last season? Do you actually watch the league, what's going on? Huh

Nope, no football world cares about you lots finishing -2 points off, I never doubted that. You guys shouldn't be flexing muscles for bottling the league twice in a row, there's no medal for runner-up, win the goddame thing and stop stressing us with shitty excuses. I can boldly chat to you about winning trophies cause I took one off Pep's nose. We dare you guys to do it....

Kai Havertz will never win ⅓ of what he won with us at Arsenal and that's factos..... No Chelsea fan cares about him and he's no better than any of our attacking options at the moment. Come and take Sterling off our book. Cheesy

Try to read back your own reply slowly, maybe that will help you realize that actually having the title in your advantage and narrowly missing out on it is "competing", so you are wrong when you wrote this:

I think this will only motivate Man City players to win all matches and score more goals.

I want it too. If we are going to win the league I would want it to be without any 'buts' or 'ifs'.

Last time I checked we finished the season 2 points off the top last season, if that is not competing I do not know what is. I also think as a Chelsea supporter you have a lot more problems to worry about than genuine title challengers.

No, the last time I checked you had the title at your advantage for two consecutive seasons and ofcos you bothered it cause you were lacking a good striker and had to depend on shitty players like Jesus and Kai Havertz to score. Being a genuine bottler and a title challenger are two different things, know where your club belongs. Arsenal supporters can't chat to Chelsea supporters about winning trophies. Lol

I've been critical of Arteta's management in the past, but the last couple of seasons I've been tolerant. This is the kind of thing that frustrates me. If you're not improving you're failing. Everybody else is being aggressive, so why would you sit back and employ the same strategy season after season?

Arteta is operating like Zidane at this point, no squad depth, no squad balancing, just milking the current squad and burning them out. It's either Edu is bad at what he does or Arteta has no pull.

Man City is too big club to get big point deduction, but they are going to pay big financial fee for sure.
Chelsea could face similar problems, they made mistakes in past also.

I follow the official Arsenal account on Twitter, but they won't publish the gossip, dirt, and speculations that I'm referring to. Any specific hackette you would recommend?

Try @now_arsenal and @AFTVMedia for Arsnela news. For general transfer speculation try, @EduardoHagn, @David_Ornstein and of course, @FabrizioRomano.

Quote from: DireWolfM14 on August 30, 2024, 12:18:21 PM

It was a good enough strategy last year, obviously they came oh-so-close. But having come so close and missing the championship by such a small margin, you would think they would be aggressively trying to improve the striker position since it's been vulnerable.

My exact line of thoughts. You also cannot depend on one single way of winning a match, we should always have the ability to change our strategy when needed. Sure we broke down defenses easily last season, but struggled to do so in the UCL.

Quote from: Trofo on August 30, 2024, 12:35:03 PM

...Current Relegation odds
City - 13

I was going to call that fake news, had to go and check first and confirmed it.
But they still have very low odds for City to win the league and finish in the top 4, maybe it is a precaution for anyone who wants to get clever. Could not happen, could it?

It hurt to watch Eddie leave our club along with ESR, those two have been Arsenal all the way through for so many years.

Yeah but they needed to leave to make progress in their careers. Young players need to play and they wouldn't have gotten enough minutes in Arsenal squad. It would have been just some league cups and maybe some cameo appearances here and there.

This is the season for Arsenal. Especially if city gets points punished or even relegated due to FFP breaches. Current Relegation odds
Liverpool - 1001
Arsenal - 1001

I doubt it. The transfer window is closing and we are in no serious bid for a striker. Arteta looks to be sticking to the same game plan last season with Havertz leading the line from deep and Jesus as the backup striker.

It was a good enough strategy last year, obviously they came oh-so-close. But having come so close and missing the championship by such a small margin, you would think they would be aggressively trying to improve the striker position since it's been vulnerable.

Quote from: Igebotz on August 30, 2024, 10:19:52 AM

Same old Arsenal - zero ambition, you can't compete against a team with a robot scoring 25+ goals a season with a 8-9 goals striker. The most pathetic thing about this is your manager and club is aware of their weaknesses and still choose to ignore.
