Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Olympiakos has to be one of the most frustrating teams to face

Roma v Shakhtar is another tough one for both

Arteta got some leeway when they knocked us out last year, no excuses this time must win.

Before VAR was introduced I always thought offside was based on where both player's feet were. These shoulder, fingertip and forehead being offside calls just seem ridiculous to me. wtf is this?

Imagine a defender gets caught lacking and they don't have enough time to step up so they just hit the

i used to think the same. which made me think the rule should be reconsidered in the event of a goal. so if im in one of the positions above if my feet our onside and i score with my feet its a goal and so forth with any other legal body part.

because before VAR i dont evne think those goals above would even be thought as offside. may get a little argument but ultimately they wouldve stood. i dont want to turn footy into baseball

Ajax, Villarreal, Roma, Arsenal, Spurs, Man U, Rangers and Granada are my predictions for the EL Quarters.

 

[Gilver]

Milan is a tie to look forward to at least, as opposed to a Slavia Prague or whatever.

Should be a pretty easy win too tbh.

Just looked on wiki and Henry has a terrible record as a manager : 13W, 9D, 27L

il a eu une miniscule amélioration à Montreal. .

He's still linked to the Bournemouth job, maybe he's waiting for a better vacancy.
Thierry Henry: Arsenal legend steps down from Montreal job for family reasons amid Bournemouth links

First time I'm hearing offsides were about feet. Always thought it was about the shoulder.

 

[Montez]

They're really counting Willian's assist?

 

[African_brehda]

Peak Wenger Arsenal vs Fergie United or Mourinho vs Pep El Classicos?

 

[phcitywarrior]

With these micro centimeter offsides, I think there should be some sort of rule where tie goes to the attacker.

The whole offsides by a finger thing just doesn’t sit right with me.

 

[Yippee Ki Yay]

Peak Wenger Arsenal vs Fergie United or Mourinho vs Pep El Classicos?

For me its peak Wenger vs Peak Fergie, as both teams just went out and played football and see who could score the most goals
Peak Maureen Vs peak Pep El Classico was let's see who can get the advantage first by trying to get someone sent off and then we will start playing football
