I make it 6 managers in the last 13 seasons. With two of those serving ~ 5.3 and 3.75 seasons respectively. So four have effectively been appointed to try and deal with the mess arising from the departure of the other two,
I think one runs on ones feet, so only feet should count, that would simplify it. Then for an advantage at least one foot should be clear (daylight). That is simple as well. Black and white and easy to judge.
I wouldn't count Pleat or Mason, as they're caretakers and I'd struggle to include Sherwood or Santini, honestly. Hoddle, Ramos, Villas-Boas and Mourinho are flops from the remainder, while Jol, Redknapp and Pochettino were successes.
Agreed, when lines and angles are needed to make a decision - which is evidently then NOT clear and obvious - benefit should always be given to the attacker. The game's about goals, let them flow as much as possible.
As long as certain refs show obvious favouritism to a very small number of teams, it doesn’t really matter what the rules are.
Interim or permanent it’s still different ideas from different minds but players still responding in same way as usual. I think for every new man be it temp or perm, it says a lot about some/most of these players limited abilities wether they be footballing or lack of intelligence to follow instructions
please log in to view this image I can't even tell if Alli's played the pass there, let alone see what's supposed to be offside. The motion blur, perhaps?
Has it occurred to you that several of those managers were sacked because they were taking us backwards? And yet our fanbase continue acting like Gollum as if sacking Santini or Villas Boas is what's really the problem...
Var should be perfect for offside as it’s a yes or no decision so shows no biased even to northern teams in red. however the rule as to what constitutes offside is what needs to change.what I don’t understand is how it works so much better in the champions league.
I thinks it's more to do with the var ref backing up his mate the game ref. There is no way that is a fair offside decision.
Which is why they were sacked It's weird: fans want us to win things, yet complain about how we sack managers we who look incapable of winning matches, let alone things I give it a week before the Twitter mob start lionising Juande Ramos
It's Michael Oliver and Paul Tierney. I don't often slag off the refs in my match thread starting posts, but I did both of them this week! Consistently ****.
You were definitely the better team and deserved the win, but that ****'s infuriating. Congratulations on going above Arsenal, again. Bloody stay there this time, ok?
