Absolutely! It’s a cozy relationship between Sky and the PGMOL.
Client journalism at its finest!

Is this about Arsenal’s never ending injury crisis?

It’s an old boys’ club (which is on brand for English institutions) but sets it apart from how competitive the recruitment is for players they officiate
I’m still astonished that there is not a single Prem ref from London, all white, overwhelmingly from the north east. They just recruit themselves

I like this idea, but I’m not sure it will make the VAR any more likely to go against experienced refs.
It seems like it’s a personal attack on the ref for them rather than helping get the right decision.
A captain/manager’s call would probably entrench that feeling further

The referees, especially experienced ones, seem to find the idea that VAR can overturn them offensive.
In turn, it seems those on VAR are scared to over turn the most experienced refs. It renders VAR completely pointless.

Doesn’t sound like any kind of loss. Arsenal Vision comments sections and engagement here will almost certainly be the better for it.
P.S. thanks for you guys and the rest of Arsenal Twitter coming here. Threads just wasn’t doing it and screw Twitter
