Actually, taking last years free kick goals in the EPL (11 in total), a team has scored 0.014 goals per game from free-kicks. So we are bang average. We are seeing exactly the number you would expect.

I would be interested to see how this compares with other EPL teams before calling it disgraceful.

Definitely a yellow, could easily have been a straight red.

I think we have looked way more defensively sound than under RDZ but not as solid as under Potter. But it's only a few games in with a pretty new squad. So I wouldn't make any judgement yet.

Is this actually an investment? From article it seems they are paying Bloom to use his statistical system? Plus he will get the opportunity to invest later if he wishes. Or am I reading it wrong?

Can you provide the data? I would interested to see it.

I would rather go on the data than feelings.

Nine times out of ten we win that game so I am not worried. What was nice to see is us not going mad and pushing way to forward to try and get the win and then inevitably conceeding.

Looking way better than he did last season. Hopefully it is him maturing and learning. Still lots to improve, especially in the opposition half, but it's great to see him starting to give us consistent glimpses of the player we thought was in there.

You obviously would not compare those two reports in your example. What makes you think they should be? That's what worries me.

You measure the output of the company/team over a significant period where they work at home and compare it to the same period when they are working on the office. Historical data must exist for the later already: task burn down rates etc etc. It worries me you don't think productivity can not...

If the data is subjective you are taking the wrong data.

I don't understand how people can argue and have opinions on this. Collect the data and compare WFH vs in the office and use that.

This is a crazy opinion I have seen spouted by a lot of Arsenal fans as well. If you follow the logic that Rice can not be booked for delaying the free-kick as the ball was not stationary then it is ok for a player who gave away a free kick to simply dribble the ball around for ten minute after...

Veltman absolutely intended to. The "amazing" thing, to use Arteta's words, is that the big 6 team didn't get the decision their way and have Veltman sent off. Instead the laws of the game were applied correctly.

Arteta also knows exactly what he is doing: make comments about how controversial and inconsistent the decision was to put pressure on the officials. That way it increases the likelihood that they will get desicaions their way in the future. Pathetic really.

I don't see what the referee did wrong. It's only controversial and a talking point as it was against a big 6 team. If it was the other way around or in a game between two non big 6 teams it would not be mentioned or spoken about.

Never did that.

Not the quickest. It's ok.

Why? It's just part and parcel of being a policeman. You need to get over it.
