100%, I noticed it loads at the World Cup but it’s bad in league games too now. Lille was the worst ever though I think. There are fewer replays of the actual football too. Some incidents get completely forgotten.
-
I think it's different to McGinn and Cash -- Emi wasn't mentioned by the commentators as amongst the players who needed to avoid a booking (I'm fairly sure), and they certainly didn't mention that he was now suspended when he got his yellow card in the first half. McGinn, Cash and the others were facing suspensions because they had accumulated multiple yellows, I assumed??
-
Is the suspension for the first leg of the semi final confirmed? Infuriating given how undeserved both yellow cards were.
-
Good grief, how did that stay out
-
A rewatch of the penalty shootout shows how bad the commentary was -- both commentators misunderstand the situation with Emi's yellow card (which is fair enough, the rule is obscure) but then make increasingly wild and ridiculous assumptions about what is happening (at one point insinuating that Emi is asking if he's still allowed to be on the pitch) rather than just pipe down.

Thrilled with tonight but just hope we don't look shattered on Sunday as a result, we've been running on empty for a few weeks now, somehow other than at the Emirates. At least we can rotate in a few players, annoyingly though Rogers has basically played a full 90 despite being benched and we're without Moreno and potentially Zaniolo. No Dougie still, but he's been off it for a while and we did look very good on Sunday without him involved, so I'm cautiously intrigued to see if it's the same again.
-
Still on the bench tonight though
-
At least with Arsenal losing already I could really enjoy that shoot out. 5th was already gone.
-
Missing a corner like that is really really poor -- why can't VAR cover that? There's no objectivity in it, should take seconds to verify, and it's a really meaningful thing to get right.

Good grief Jesus

I think one reason some people really want CL, even over the Conference League trophy, is just a sense that absolutely nothing is guaranteed in football, and we've had bright horizons before that have faded away when we've not quite managed to make the next step up. I love this club right now -- I love Emi, I love Dougie, I love Ollie, I love the whole squad and most of all I love Unai. I don't want this fairytale era to end, and the best way to ensure it doesn't just yet seems, to me, to be getting into the Champions League now rather than later. It's absolutely fine to want a trophy more -- to each their own, and I come down on that side of things some days -- but I don't think those fan who would prioritise Champions League football are necessarily any shallower or missing something about football.
-
But they also have one more team to get those coefficient points, right?
-
Is that 18.125 just after tomorrow, or taking into account the guaranteed points from the semi final? Just asking as you mentioned projecting far ahead
-
The draw has already been done so if they win they play each other in the semis. It's good for us because we're guaranteed a semi final win. Technically it lowers our points ceiling a bit because two semi final wins are better than one, but it also raises the floor massively.

Why are people starting sentences with 'Why are people still worried about....' ??? Have you seen the last few weeks of football?
