Hi Ed033,

Is it possible to be added to the live chat option, I would like to participate, being in Scotland, I can't afford to go to games. I love the banter on the live chat and would love to join in.

{Ed033's Note - You're going to need to post/reply on the this site first before i make a determination about Live chat.

I just wanted to give a shoutout to Luca Stephenson for being selected to captain Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday. It's impressive to be handed the armband at just 22 let alone when you are only at the club on loan!

A solid player with a great attitude. Good luck to him. Not going to be quick enough for the very top but should have a good career in football.

Good player Stephenson. Hope his career goes well.

Whether or not Arsenal go on to win the league, I think they will make this season memorable for a slightly different reason. I can see a change in the laws or, perhaps more of a change in the interpretation/ enforcement of the laws, coming about as a result of what is happening every time there is a corner or free kick around the box. There has always been grappling and shoving at corner kicks and all teams do it to an extent, but Arsenal have taken it to the next level and then some.

It's clearly a plan, probably something they actually practice and something that appears rehearsed and instructed, rather than players just losing their man and grabbing a handful of the shirt in a panic. You'd have to say they have executed it perfectly and why would they stop when it is not being penalised and it is propelling them towards the league title.

They do need something to hold on to in all fairness.

02 Mar 2026 15:54:55
I agree. I also think something will be done. Premier League getting less entertaining by the week.

02 Mar 2026 16:56:16
One would hope they will be trying to make changes for next season. I think the only way that happens is when the numbers start to stall or decline.

The biggest issue the league has is the man in the middle. The players are only doing what the refs allow. I remember well when Jota was totally upended at Spurs 3 or so seasons ago, and no pen was given, as Tierney told Klopp, "He was waiting for the contact." Jota was cleaned out with what should have been a second yellow.

Now, not only waiting for contact, but trying to initiate the contact, is the new way. It is clear and obvious and needs to be officiated accordingly.

Lay you hand on the shoulder of the attacker running into the box, it's a penalty. Half strangle an attacker at a corner while the goalkeeper tries to decapitate him, it's a great defensive tactic.

I reckon you're right, rr. They will have to do something on it. It's getting more horrible by the week. I always loved to see a good headed goal, dunno if it was because they were rare-ish or what, but nothing beats watching a good header into the net.

Now the headers from set pieces are 90% just messes, and teams don't seem to cross the ball anymore in open play.

02 Mar 2026 14:30:38
Just think.

Pulis and big sam may need to quit the advertising gig and get back into manage. they are after all the kings of it.

Teams will use it whilst it works. defend it properly. stop goals going in. and they will be forced to change.

Can't wait. next season may return to 4 4 2. and the pass back rule comes back.

They were ahead of their time, MightyR. They could have been dueling it out for the title. European nights next season in Bolton and Stoke.

So I had to go check.

There's a table that shows the disciplinary record for a team, wrt yellow and red cards

No surprise Arsen-hole are the best rated team, 36 fellows and no red cards in the PL this season.

Then I checked out the penalties tables, and guess what, Arsen-hole are the ONLY team in the league to not concede a penalty in the league

Just shows, the dark arts actually makes you THE most disciplined team. Who would have thought.!

02 Mar 2026 07:36:00
That is remarkable discipline. Well researched! Reminds me of VVD, who has played 99 out of 100 games (missed one after winning the PL and was rested). Discipline over time.

02 Mar 2026 09:32:38
Kudos to Chelsea though.

It's a proper team effort to equal the record of most red cards for one team in a season. Not only that, but they have equalled the record with 10 games still left to play.

Jesus what is going on with the VAR at the Arsenal V Chelsea. Rice strangling the Chelsea player at the corner the ball comes over and uses his arm to clear the ball. It went to VAR no hand ball.
If that does not show who they want to win the league Chelsea scored right away from another corner.
But VAR makes the wrong decision in nearly every game in my opinion. It has become a consistently poor decision after a poor decision it is killing football for everyone.

No argument from me Albeydered.
