Gauci ahead of Olsen Duran and Kellyman from the bench.

Martinez is the difference maker. Let’s have these olive munching bastards.

You can though, if you simplify the rules.

I'm nominating this for POTY.

Would've already happened if Tonev was still here

We do need a few gyros tonight

I'm so confident that I've booked my hotel for the final, with free cancellation.

Two crests, and you **** them up, two crests, and you **** them up!

Somewhere to put your money if you don't wear socks

1-5 Cash x 2 Martinez Duran x 2 Some Greek guy probably

Yes, the man who waited 10 years fighting for a first team chance at Arsenal and then fours years at Villa playing his own way into his dream of Champions League football is suddenly going to jump ship to play for *checks notes* 7th-placed Chelsea. Good one.

Potentially, there would be a few weird situations for sure. But combined with the use of automated AI technology, ball sensors to give the right frame, higher FPS as well, it would take away the subjectivity of decisions. I think that's the most important aspect. The decisions would also happen very quickly, and be called before the play is allowed to develop in a controversial, goal-threatening action in many cases.

A shoot-to-kill eco-project

Just need David Cameron to declare his support

Yeah, they could've called it off. Or the VAR could've decided to call it on. And therein lies the problem - offside, much like goalline/touchline decisions are, could be made completely objective. But they're not. Which is exactly why all players in offside positions should just always be given offside regardless of when or where the ball is. Admittedly, this would introduce some other small issues (such as an injured player being offside, or short corners the taker would have to get back quickly, and play would soon adapt to that), but the positives would far outweigh the main negative - subjectivity.

I don't think De Ligt would/should be given offside within the current rules. I agree that it should be offside, but that's beside the point here.

Do you think it was offside because the De Ligt was interfering or because they were both in offside positions? This suggests the other guy wasn’t in an offside position:

Also, phone/wallet in your back pocket and then you sit down and what?

I reckon I could drink about half of that.

Loan to Dortmund, take him over for the friendly and bring him back next year when he's ready for the step up to us.

Just the whole penalty box is not a bad compromise. There would be some farcical situations occur when lines are being drawn to see if a player's toe is inside or outside the area though.

Just to clarify, it shouldn't be offside within the current rules. I would argue that it should be offside because he's interfering with everything: When the player who passes the ball out to Rudiger for the assist takes possession of the ball, there's a Munich player goal side of Joselu. Here then does the "right" thing by getting out in a line with the other defenders to leave Joselu in an offside position, but then by laying it wide to Rudiger and quickly back in first time before the defenders have chance to get back, Joselu is now onside? Come on, this is ridiculous. On which part do you think it was the right call? Now I'm, perhaps confusingly, arguing for what is onside within the current rules vs. what I think should be offside, but there's evidence to suggest that the Bayern attacker (not De Ligt) who was closest to the defender was onside, so where is the infringement here (within the current rules)?

Yeah offside should be offside. If you're on the pitch and not interfering with play or at least entering into the defender's thoughts then you're doing something wrong! In this case, De Ligt was offside, clearly affecting the defenders, and then put the ball in the net. It should be offside, but in the current rules it shouldn't have been given as such (assuming that the other attacker was onside, as appears). Even the winning goal, Joselu gains a massive advantage by being well offside until the final ball played into him. That should be offside as well!

Like Blues getting 8 points from the last four games (?) including winning on the last day, requiring every other rival to do the same priceless
