Arsenal fan, solicitor in training. I (occasionally) write "Law & Sport" on Substack

I've finally cracked why I've always thought Infantino felt like a villain to me. I was raised on Gerry Anderson and the man looks exactly like The Hood from Thunderbirds

Pep when it all comes out about just how rotten it all was...

So, firstly it's Law 12.1 about the awarding of direct free kicks. See the screenshot. It's very inexactly worded and we see that in how it's enforced - if all impeding were punished, there'd be no space for players to shield the ball off the pitch, for example.

Take a bow, @tomoc.bsky.social. This is sensational.

I would agree with Adam on that take, 100%. These, for comparison, are PL minutes played this season with a maximum of 360 more minutes to play. Saka going to come up with less minutes, MO and Kai going to have less than 50% of their 23/24 minutes

Sorry to butt in but I don't think injuries made any difference in 23/24. That was just two very evenly matched teams and some breaks didn't go our way. These are our minutes played that season, maybe you want more minutes for #5 but all the key guys played a lot

This (derogatory) is going to be my abiding memory of what I hope we will get to call "That one Gyokeres Season"

One of my petty bugbears about modern life. Seeing Big Thief tonight at Brixton Academy. Will have my backpack with me after work. The nearest "partner" storage that will be open post 9pm is a mile and a half away in the wrong direction for the train station I need. I can't leave my backpack at work
