Hard not to root against this Arsenal team

I still can’t figure out what the heck Martinelli was thinking there at the end. You see a guy go down from pretty much a non contact injury and looks to be in real pain and you decide to toss a ball at him? Then, even after standing there and seeing him in pain you decide to try and shove him off of the pitch? Crazy. I get time wasting is a big issue all over but this was pretty obviously not that.

Man City has Semenyo, now ? I thought he played for Bournemouth, last week ?

He's having a great season, so not exactly shocking to see him move.

However, I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate that he's now allowed to play for City in the League Cup despite having played for Bournemouth in the same competition earlier this season. Yet another rule change designed specifically to benefit the biggest clubs. Color me shocked. They're already seeded to ensure they don't have to face one another in the early rounds. How much more ****ing help do they need? Were City going to win it anyway without him? Yeah, very likely. Still a dumb rule change.

What a mess that whole situation is. Trying to manage players and hold them accountable is hard when ownership clips your legs out from under you at every turn. Tough scenes.

I wonder if Maresca ends up at Madrid now.

Will just never, never understand hiring elite coaches and then not letting them do their job. Seems to be common in Europe than US-based sports.

The players also run the teams. From what I've read it sounds like basically the entire team had already given up on him and tuned him out. If that's the case, then the coach probably does have to do regardless of how good a coach he is.

Yeah once you lose the locker room you are toast. Management in European football is much bigger pressure cooker than American sports in my opinion. With promotion, relegation, and trying to earn spots in European competitions it’s much more a win quick or you’re gone setup.

The lack of depth in a lot of these leagues probably has a lot to do with it too. It isn't like coming in second or third out of 18 or 20 teams is considered a good season.

Playing against Newcastle is like going up against a skilled Burnley. They grab, pull, lie all over the pitch, and agitate nonstop. They never start playing until they are down a goal. Would frustrate me if I were a fan because they have the players to produce quality every match.

Joelinton thinks he is the toughest guy on the planet. He seemingly never gets carded as much as he should.
