but they will argue a foul anywhere on the pitch should be penalized because of the margins of error their working with and you have to agree with them. the premier league is becoming incredibly strong, even the slightest foul not being called up can be disastrous to ones season.

one game last season that sticks out for me and I'm not at all being bias, AC Milan v Spurs. Spurs clearly fouled AC, ref failed to call them up, the game just ran on which led to frustration. I don't agree with Gattusos reactions but the fouls were clear and you've got to understand why they were annoyed.

heads of refs go about their thing and not being as stern as they could because they could end up killing the game which is debatable. playing fifa or pro is completely different to the actually game. having said that Van Persie got sent off at the Nou Camp for a pathetic reason and then that very ref is installed as head of UEFA refs if I recall correctly.

Arsenals majority shareholder has said,

Quote:
The British press hounded Wenger — and by extension Kroenke — to spend more money to settle the roster crisis. Wenger finally made some moves, bringing in five new players near the conclusion of the transfer period. But Wenger did so on his terms, and that was fine with Kroenke, who fully supports the embattled manager. "There's a risk of going backwards if you overreact and start throwing money around in an attempt to solve your problems," Kroenke said. "Unfortunately we saw that with the Rams several years ago. Signing a bunch of free agents wasn't the answer. It set things back, and it took us a while to dig out of it. Our track record is out there for people to see. If we think there's good value, we'll spend."

It's too soon to know how the new collective bargaining agreement between the NFL owners and players will impact the Rams, who are in the bottom half of the league in revenue. An analysis by Forbes magazine concluded that smaller-market teams would eventually lose ground during the 10-year deal, but Kroenke isn't sure. "It's all about the ability to compete," Kroenke said. "I don't think the small-market teams went backward in this deal. Did they gain a lot? I wouldn't say that's true. It's easier for a big-market team than a small-market team. But at the same time, you see examples of small-market teams thriving. Look at Green Bay. But the small-market teams have to be smart."

sounds promising. the late trolly dash so to speak had to be done because Arsenal couldn't get the right personnel in, big bids were flying everywhere but rejected so late in the window.

Yes the trouble is we have 8 games to pick on the red button and most supporters will pick the games involving English sides so l could not really watch the Barcelona/Milan game.

Jeff Stellings back at his half donut desk :D think i'll play it safe tonight and watch City. As much as I hate the financial troubles they have caused you've got to admire their squad.
