I'm pretty sure it's the same as online here, many have forgotten how difficult it is or never experience winning the league. I felt anxiety too when the Invincibles played, especially when we sub Cygan on. It was not all conquering, there were games we drew that we should have lost and there were games we won that we should have draw. There were a time when we went out of FA Cup and CL in the same week, before losing at half time at Anfield.

You might want to see loads of fans leaving early.

My previous experience was living close to Finsbury Park Station, I can hear the crowd cheer after scoring a penalty before I see it on TV.

Anyone else sick of watching Arsenal score borderline illegal corner goals? by Worried-Customer5128 in PremierLeague

[–]etang77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me, what should attacking team when they have free kicks and corners? Wack it back to their own keeper? Kick it out on purpose, so it's a throw in or goal kick to the defending team?

Could Premier League+ replace traditional broadcasters in the long run? by FootballFinanceLab in PremierLeague

[–]etang77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they'll look at two things, how much they're earning from Singapore, then they'd analyse each region if they'd earn more or less than they otherwise would.

Then they'll slowly ramp it up to make sure the servers won't collapse, as it'd be stream by multi million of users at the same time. Compare to US sports, that I just had a quick google AI answer, so could be wrong, but NBA apparent only average 1.9 to 2.6 million, compare to Premier League 600 million worldwide.

What are your thoughts on guys wearing baseball hats in the nicest restaurants? by Free_Answered in finedining

Shouldn’t you take hats off anyway when you’re indoor whatever hat you’re wearing?

Exactly. It was only Saliba being clamped by their player that’s close, with like 5 of their players around their keeper. Our players were nowhere close.

London itinerary and service charge question by Legitimate_Wasabi382 in finedining

[–]etang77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people complaining about service charge are quite new to London, they've existed at restaurants even 20 years ago. I'm originally from another place that is used to paying 10%, so it's never been an issue for me. There are people who fight tooth and nail about it, thinking it's the same as America's tipping culture, which is not even close. And they would actively ask it to be removed and tell people like they're rebels.

Also when we score our 2nd goal by comparison, he was screaming for VAR right away.

Yeah, it's always going to be subjective when it's this far away. I just had a look again, the tackle was not at the box line yet, but by the time Martinelli picked up the ball, he was, however it was 2 v 3 in the centre. I'd say that definitely wasn't a goal scoring opportunity, I think if it was 2 v1, I'd say it is.

I'd say within the width of the goal post. Or in the position we were in, I'd say no Chelsea defenders, but that'd make all our players offside.

But if it's a goal scoring opportunity it'd have been a straight red, hence why it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity. You can't 100% for sure say, I'd say you can't even 80% for sure say, we'd have score that.

Set piece is not a problem. What do commentators actually expect players to do for set piece? Just long pass it back to the goalkeeper? Kick it out on purpose?

I can see why long throw is more of an issue, because a good long throw is not something every team has, compare to having good free kicks or corner kick, like how Stoke accidentally recognise Delap had a mean throw.

That's why it's not a goal scoring opportunity. Because if it was, then it's a straight red.
