The only reason it's an 'utterly different scenario' is we don't look like qualifying for European competition now (or frankly at any point). If we did, and they did, it would be exactly the same scenario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth owners have a significant stake in Lorient in France. Yes, the feeder angle to it is a different scenario. There are good arguments why that too could be banned, although all other feeder club scenarios don't entail them figuring in the same competition, or the owner not owning enough to have a majority. But fundamentally, two clubs majority owned by the same person should never play each other competitively. It's interesting that our ownership of Vitoria is set below the threshold where it wouldn't prevent us playing each other, but it aligns with the current rules. If they relax them, solely to allow man utd to be sold, its a joke. I wouldn't be in favour of that. And if they tightened them, we are all back to a more level playing field.

YLN Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) This is less a game's gone thing and more 'I'm a crotchety old man' thing. I don't like player of the match. Down to ten players. Ten player England. Why can't it be men and women? They are men and women. Is it a trans inclusion thing? I find it jarring and unnecessary and i don't see who it helps.

colhint Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I suppose it's easier to just say player of the match then it's your normal phrase, rather than let slip man of the match in a women's game. That's bound to upset some keyboard warrior. Having said that I've watched most of the Villa women's games, you'll always here the players shout man on.

It’s not a good look. That being said, and being slightly to offer any argument on their behalf, there was more interaction elsewhere. The same young girl can clearly be seen having a little chat with Odegaard at the end the clip so we can’t say how indifferent the players were throughout the day, or however long she was in their company. My main takeaway is the Arsenal media team either need to have a quick chat with the playing staff about player-supporter interaction or the media team itself should review what it thinks positive content looks like.
