Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13hIf City doesn’t get adequate punishment, there is no point in watching the PL. I love watching Arsenal, but not when it has turned into the WWE 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 18hI agree, also, I think getting into a habit of getting shots off increases decisiveness. 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/10/2026What is this?! Is this how you follow up that Brighton performance? 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I don’t see much I like from Arsenal in this match. A bit worrying 100
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/10/2026And offsides, offsides, offsides! A sign of not being switched on 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Also, sometimes it’s just a numbers game, get enough shots on target and a few goes in 010
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I’m always a fan of getting shots off early, gets the team into a habit of being decisive 110
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/10/2026If that’s the case, we shouldn’t have signed him. But I think that’s an oversimplification of whatever challenges Vik has with gametime, and why Mikel doesn’t trust him (on the pitch, not on a personal level) 010
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 30/09/2026You’re right of course! Yeah, do that, and force the sale of the club and impose the restrictions as well. That would be a pretty much perfect solution 010
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Only negative is that they would be back the next season. I’d rather strip them of all trophies, force the sale of the club and restrict anyone involved from having any sort of role in football, and give city a 35 pts deduction the next five seasons 100

Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Not able to watch today, maybe not the worst day to miss out 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Is it just my imagination or does Arteta look seriously annoyed at something 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Don’t watch that stuff, it’s just idiots with hot takes. They feed off our clicks and the minutes we engage with them 070

Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I’m just remembering back to the incidents with players in front of the goal from last year (that were given), I think this is sort of the same thing. But I am clearly in the minority here. For me it’s not how I’ve understood the rule for the 20+ years I’ve played (not pro) 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026He was, but I’m not sure he had an impact on the defenders ability to play the ball. I know I would be furious if that was us and it was ruled out for that 200
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026City, unfortunately, are still going to be a tough rival for the title 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026And some people block other for the slightest disagreements😂 Not one of us would agree if we scored that goal and it was ruled out. 101
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I want that to be ruled out as much as the next guy, but what Enzo does there is not nearly enough to influence. Anyone that has played for a few years would agree 100
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026That really isn’t a midfield, they’re going to have to go wide or over, good that they went withal focal point up top that kan hold up and distribute….oh wait 010
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I actually think that’s it. Not like a conspiracy, but I think he recognizes he has lost control of the game, and he knows the right call in that moment is going to light it on fire. He’s a victim of his own poor game management 040
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Abstract refereeing: Where rules and players are a floating concept 020
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026What is John Brooks doing?! He started booking random players, and not booking the actual players involved because then he has to send Xhaka off😂 What a moron 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Just shows that these rules are stupid when there’s no timers to ensure equal standards. The refs end up going by feel, and their feelings are usually wrong 030
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Agreed, my complaint is that he has noe idea what he’s doing, and therefore gets easily influenced by a home crowd 010
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Brooks is not fit to ref the PL. what an absolute terrible performance 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I get it, Brobbey is strong and everybody likes a physical player. But call the blatant shirt pulling will you 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Intense start, they look up for it. Need to stay focused and patient 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That’s not why the stat exists, it may be how it is used (wrongly) by some. It’s basically a stat to show the quality of chances and/or shoooting positions a team are able to get into. So it’s not an expression of what should’ve happened, but of how often that circumstance usually results in a goal 010
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Some people like stats as a way of understanding or nuancing what they see. Policing how people enjoy football however…. 100
Reposted by Martin1.76 Acres @onepointsevensixacr.es · 07/09/2026I think a proper way to reframe the “Arsenal have had six years to build this, other teams are just starting” bullshit narrative we are now getting is “Arsenal have been well run, intelligent, and committed for a long time, while other teams have fucked about aimlessly for the last half decade+”. 613211
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It can be if the team is defensively solid enough. Man Utd aren’t, they don’t kill off the right passing angles, and can be cut through, seemingly quite easily at times. Less about game management, than having a solid structure at all times 120
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I have a two year old, wouldn’t surprise me if that was an important part of it 020
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Didn’t see his first half, but he was so dangerous in the second! 010
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Big Vik having a tough first minutes. Would like for him to get some confidence back in 000
Martin @brartin.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Chelsea gaining a bit of a foothold in the last minutes. Time for Merino and Bruno G? 000
