While I agree in general that there is a lot of money-grabbing going around, I’m curious why you think added time is a sympton of this? The reason given that it’s trying to more accurately reflect time the ball is out of play and therefore give us more actual game time

I’m not saying you’re wrong I just can’t think of the connection

Attackers were also more physical

Should do: nothing Shouldn’t do: anything

Seconded

About 90% of the games I watch are my team. I’d happily watch all games all day long but my gf isn’t into football and I feel selfish taking over her whole weekend too. So we compromise, if there are any other big games (eg big derbies/cup knockout games) that I’m particularly interested in, I’ll watch those too. If she’s out or whatever I might stick a random game on but I often find anyway that if I’ve nothing invested (unless it’s a better if a game) I’ll start pottering about anyway

In the early 2000s southampton had bale, Walcott and lallana come through and win a youth fa cup didn’t they?
