    Good that Arsenal haven't been impacted by the enforced break.

    Kevin de Bruyne doesn’t know how to make a fist. Noticed it while taking a knee and then again there celebrating.

    Remind me again why the mong was red-carded there? Was the rule change not meant to prevent the double-punishment?

    Also if this sound system is anywhere near as advanced as they say, they better start funelling in the Oles.

    Why do Arsenal play Aubameyang on the wing? I suppose when you also have Eddie Nketiah available it’s a tough choice to make?

    If you make an attempt to play the ball like if you tackled someone but he just yanked him down.

    Isn't that illegal? Unless they all live together, which I suppose we can't rule out.

    Ederson should be getting a decent ban for that tackle on his own team mate. His (non) reaction said a lot too.

    Hawk-Eye said it "unreservedly apologises", and acknowledged that the ball had gone over the line.

    The company added it was the first time such an error had occurred in more than 9,000 matches using the system.

    It explained that all seven of its cameras monitoring the goal were obscured by either the goalkeeper, a defender or the goalpost.

    Watching the highlights now. The delay on the Zoom wall is ... great. The fact the crowd noise doesn't react in the way an actual crowd would is ... great. The way it looks like a dystopian future sport "This goal pleases the wall" is .... great.

    I also like how this 2020 Future Sport had two big failures of protocol on the first night (Hawkeye, David Luiz's double jeopardy red card). And there's a slight disinterest from the commentary team. Tyler and Neville are less up for it.

    Savour this season, lads.

    Luiz's wasn't an error, you don't get reprieved if you aren't playing the ball so if the ref thinks the pull on the shoulder is a foul, and the forward is in on goal (which he was) then it's a red card. It's very harsh but it's technically legit.

    The goal line one was just a complete catastrophe and makes you wonder how 'accurate' it is all the other times it has been used, seeing as it has been sold as being completely foolproof.

    Every fucking stream had the crowd noise as default. That better end. Do people actually prefer it?

    Did anyone watch the natural effects coverage? Could you hear everything clearly?

    All said, still enjoyed both games so this should be a better month than I anticipated.

    I'd rather hear the shouting of the players and staff so you can tell what instructions they're giving out. It arguably gives the spectators more.

    Napoli beat Juve 4-2 on penalties last night to win coppa italia. I think that is the third time ive seen ronaldo still on the field during a penalty shootout and he didnt get to take one.

    Either he was penalty number five but it was over before he got his turn or he was scared to death and was never going to take a penalty in the first place.

    I didn't watch either game last night but if you think I'm watching anything with pumped in crowd noise you are having a laugh. Why can't they just show us the truth?

    More likely for him is he wanted to be there for the potential winning penalty. I don't see him as one to be scared of taking a pen in an Italian Cup Final after all he's achieved.

    There seemed to be crowd noise for the Villa game, but not the City one, I'm pretty ambivalent towards it but then maybe it wasn't that intrusive in the first game as virtually nothing of interest actually happened.

    I had the crowd noise on for half-watching the City game and didn't find it especially obnoxious. I probably edge it over the howling emptiness of a giant stadium driving home how boring the game actually is.

    I believe it's a choice - you can either have it on or not based on your feed.

    The PL came out and said the sound wasn't functioning properly for the Villa game, I think. I just find it distracting and that's before you spend a second thinking about the absurdity of the whole concept.

    So he wants to be the star to potential clinch the game with penalty number five. He didnt take penalty when portugal lost to chile and spain in recent tournuments either.

    I watched with crowd noise and it was pretty muted and there was no real variety to the noise.

    Bundesliga crowd noises (which you can't turn off) are much louder and there was variety to them which made it feel more authentic.

    It still wasn't as good as an actual crowd but it was better than what I heard last night. However, it took a week or two for them to make it better.
