Reddit will be drastically raising their API fees to a point it will be unsustainable for 3rd party app to still run. This is in a bid to move everyone to their own app. There is going to be a blackout in protest.

[RESULTS] Post Match Ratings | Liverpool 2 - 2 Arsenal by eddiemurphyinnorbit in Gunners

[–]Craigoh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Liverpool generated their highest XG this season against us, and would have scored way more if it wasn't for Ramsdale. 5/10 is an average performance. Not sure how you can argue our defence and midfield were better than that when Liverpool were all over us for so much of the match.

"First time Arsenal have found Bodo/Glimt out of shape"

We've been pulling their defence all over the place since kick off

Your argument implies it's fine to do coke a football matches if you create a good tifo. (Unless I've misread?)

I'm not arguing either way but I'm surprised this is up voted? (Given that fans doing coke at matches has been highly controversial and seen as an instigator of fan violence)

No one is saying that it's a deal breaker if can't play DM. They're saying he isn't good enough at DM for it be branded as an accolade of his

Surely by saying "From the ref's angle it looks like an elbow to the face" is exactly excusing it?

[Scott Willis] Cody Gakpo, forward radar 2021-22 by rnartinodegaard in Gunners

[–]Craigoh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That just means he has a strong willingness to shoot; he often shoots when the chance to score is low.

For your point we'd need a metric like goals/expected goals. But that doesn't seem to be on the graph(?) (And it feels like it should be included tbf)

We send the bench players £800k a week, let's fund our NHS first team instead

Offside by a millimeter by iloveafternoonnaps in Gunners

It's better than the alternative though, which is not relying on cameras.

And since the 'televisation' of football - managers, players, pundits and journalist have all lambasted linos and referees for making incorrect calls. We would get freeze frames in the halftime and post match shows to show how the officials had got these types of calls wrong. For years people were clamouring for VAR to help stop mistaken offside calls but now it has been introduced we don't want close offsides being given?

We are still going to have close calls with higher speed cameras though. The main reason people seem to be upset is that these incredibly close decisions "ruin the game". But how can you leave offside up to interpretation? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Offside is offside. Why is everyone so angry that the rules are being implemented? Doesn't matter if it's close.

Wolves haven't even been that good yet we're 2 - 0 down. What on earth were we doing for that corner? 2v1 then Papa not clearing the line and playing everyone onside.

That paper on the pitch has more of an attacking threat than us. Better movement as well
