    I had the sound down, did Arteta just walk off in a strop?

    There were arguments then and there are arguments now. At least with semi automated offside (and automated AI offside soon) it will be immediate and objective and correct.

    I just don’t see how you get rid of offaide as it would completely change the dynamic of modern football and make certain players completely obsolete. Should at least try it out on something pointless like the current title race?

    It is **** for the people who matter i.e. those who pay to be at the game. You used to have a quick glance at the lino and know for sure it’s a goal. Now you have to wait to be sure of any goal. You could have the best people for the job and that wouldn’t change.

    Yeah I get that argument.
    Just get all decisions to be made by AI. Won’t be far away now. No person required on pitch. Just an AI announcer. All decisions objective and immediate.

    How does AI decide that penalty on Nunez is a foul? Or Skelly’s red at Wolves?

    Do we just stick with the endless waiting for some full kit nonce in Uxbridge to make a decision until then when there’s a far better alternative?

    Football is about debate and arguments, but we don't need geeks drawing ****ing lines. I see tonight they were discussing if the wall in the freekick was the correct distance or something, because the SKY technology measures it, just **** off with this tech bollocks. The only reason we have VAR is for crying pussies like Arteta....hmmm suppose that's a good reason to keep it actually.

    Anyway why did Arteta storm off from the interview, I guess United anal fisted his dreams into oblivion.

    Arteta is ****, does he actually know what he's doing?

    Found the point about the wall quite interesting and that’s what the post-match analysis is for. How Raya has gotten away with a goal at a good height nowhere near the corner I’m not sure.

    The ten yard thing is weird. Do they practice pacing out exactly ten yards? Do refs in most countries practice pacing out 9.144 metres? They probably do actually. Nerds.
