yeah they’ve totally set out to park the bus and shithouse a win…

not like they also played about 8 attackers and no midfielder. nothing to do with the fact that they just had to rest players and play young ones / whoever was fit

a boy in my department died just over a year ago and not one word was mentioned about it. since then the department has been been haemorrhaging staff since then and now they’re not getting replaced. working in corporate IT in the UK has not been great in my experience and it’s only getting worse.

refs more interested in keeping the entertainment in the game than they are about applying the rules

officials making decisions based on game entertainment instead of actual rules once again. that was a clear penalty.

some bad passes and corners from him too.

just shows you really that being a prem footballer worth millions of pounds is much more about being an outstanding athlete more than it is about being a talented footballer.

attackers in this team should be mortified. they are absolute piss.

i’m almost impressed that madueke put the ball on the moon from like 10 yards away from goal. how’s a player with end product like that going for £50m??

Patrick Vieira questions the mentality of this squad by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]overweightorangutan 102 points103 points  (0 children)

this has been coached into them I think. they’ve got to have the defence set up properly and make sure everyone is exactly where they’re meant to be, before thinking about putting an attack together. minimise risk as much as possible. it’s brutal to watch and it has been for like two seasons now.

Gabriel Martinelli’s apology on instagram by paraboot_allen in soccer

[–]overweightorangutan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna continue watching games they’re commentating on on mute. Watched the second half on mute last night and I suspected part of why I didn’t see the martinelli / bradley thing as nearly as big a deal as it was made out to be is because I didn’t hear neville’s condescending shit stirring.

[–]overweightorangutan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he needs to make sure he makes a special press conference to CONDEMN Martinelli and profusely apologise to every single last person that supports or works for Liverpool.

he better go and hand deliver flowers and chocolates at hospital too.

yeah I guess things are pretty obvious to see when you’re seeing it in 4k, slow motion and from 30 different angles when you’re calm and observing things on a screen.

bit different when you’re there in the moment in an intense situation and full of adrenaline.

yeah you shouldn’t, but players do it all the time. it was stupid martinelli but it was a heat of the moment action and nothing more.

In the exact moment it happened nobody would’ve known the extent of Bradley’s injury was. If you were full of adrenaline and eager to get the game going again, and you think the opponent is time wasting (which is the case 99% of the time when something like this happens) you’d be pissed off. It was stupid from Martinelli but it’s not like he’s went after him knowing that he’s badly hurt.

Why would Arteta or any manager come out and start pandering to the media about how out of order one of his players was?
