Please change the corner kick rules.

See how it goes for you when you can’t hold Gabriel on every corner.

Thinking back, Arsenal going long with the man advantage isn't bad, per se. The problem was they were launching it too early. They weren't forcing Chelsea to commit men forward, which left the duels on the other end of the long balls at even numbers.

And also, they lost those battles anyway.

So that's a nailed-on 25th minute straight red for Caicedo, isn't it?

Probably a few minutes after Rodri is not sent off when he should have been.

Chelsea SHOULD be even tougher for Manchester City. City aren't close to the Rice-Zubimendi pairing in the middle of the field to counter Caicedo, Enzo, and / or whoever else Chelsea have in there.

As I said after the cup tie, if Arsenal are the standard by which you should measure clubs (which right now they are because they are top of the league), Chelsea are well short of them and those three losses demonstrate that.

My issue is that the focus is consistently placed squarely on Arsenal and not on the clubs who consistently drop into deep blocks.

Arsenal getting good at corners is a response to how teams play against them and a product of the current state of football, overall.

Arsenal could really do with getting Martin Ødegaard healthy.

Not sure about David Raya's positioning on the own goal.

Happy St Totteringham's Day, Gunners, the earliest we've celebrated since 2009.

North London is RED.

It would be so easy to avoid those after-goal flashpoints, too. Just put in a rule that forbids the scoring team from attempting to retrieve the ball. It isn't theirs. They shouldn't be going for it.

Imagine if Arsenal got the referee decisions that the clubs from the same cities as all the referees were from.

Spurs need to score 3 goals in the second half against Fulham to forestall St. Totteringham's Day.

Home to Chelsea is probably Arsenal's second-most difficult remaining fixture behind at Manchester City.

Three points today for the Gunners would be quite nice.

I won't have "solidarity" with the supporters of other clubs about refereeing inconsistency until they acknowledge that they were all very wrong (and a bunch of dicks) to us Arsenal supporters when we pointed it out over the last three seasons.

But also, the state of PL refereeing is appalling.

They did not do the “Spot the Cow” Chik-Fil-A promotion at the Caps game tonight.

We used to be a proper country.

Just remember that Patrick Mahomes has below average sized hands. He turned out alright.

People assured me that Aston Villa and Unai Emery had found the secret sauce to football. Some of them were rather rude about it, too.

Aside from that being an insane take generally, it is also not an accurate description of Spurs-Arsenal.

Randall Kolo Muani was whistled for six fouls and more than one instance of clear simulation and he wasn’t booked, for example.

Dragusin could have hog-tied Gyokeres without being called.

Arsenal still have to take care of business, though! Teams don’t reach this stage of the competition by accident and that only magnifies in later rounds. They’re all quality sides that’ll get ‘ya.

But yes, in terms of avoiding the blue blood, big name clubs, Arsenal’s draw is a good one.

And then you crush whatever you have left at the end.

I think that’s the part people aren’t thinking about. You go slow and steady for the majority of the time and then slam your remainder in the shortest window you can manage.

Yeah, you’ll feel like shit after the 24 hours ends, but you did it.

Maybe I’m underestimating the length of the drinking and the cumulative effect, but 1.5 beers an hour for 18 hours doesn’t seem that bad at all.

you don’t have to worry about the tummy ache you’d get from 24, then. because you’d already have it and it definitely wouldn’t get worse. just have to power through for 50M.

I don’t think you want to combine the beer and the tacos with the running, honestly. Sounds miserable.

I think the play is:

Run - 4 hours
6 beers and tacos - 3 hours
Nap - 1-3 hours

Beer + taco per hour - 12 hours
Crush remainder - 2 hours.

You really don’t have to take this at face value, you know that, right?

Like, you’re journalists. You should know not to be mouthpieces for the government.

That’s WAY too many beers. Don’t think pretty much anybody could even get to 75.

oh now I’ve seen the thing. 24 beers in a night, no way. over 24 hours and I’m intrigued.

Run, have some beers and tacos. Nap. Steady beers and tacos for hours then crush the remainder in the last two hours. Seems doable.

even at my heaviest drinking in college I couldn’t do 24. not even close, 6-8 beers off at least.

Twizzlers or Red Vines?

they’re worried the kalshi bets they made with insider information aren’t going to hit (among other things)
