Indeed. Well said, as ever.
Even back when we decided to become the Woolwich Wanderers, something important died.
Can't cry for Wenger though; he's been one of the chief enablers, if not architects, of the whole global sell-out and sell-off of football for years. Though perhaps it was inevitable anyway, as you suggest.

Quite. Even though I agree with much of what Burney posted, associating Wenger with the club we once were is pretty rich.
I seem to recall him being slated for bringing too many foreigners into our club, hammered for fielding an entirely foreign 11 and then absolutely murdered for moving us from Highbury.
And he wanted VAR too
In fact, he was brought in precisely BECAUSE we no longer wanted to be the club we once were.
If you follow me.

He wa brought in because we wanted to be the club we once were once again. Bank of England, and all that.
That's boars, I'm afraid. We'd never been colonised, and I use the word advisedly, by Frenchmen before.

He was the last remaining link to Highbury, the marble halls, the Hill-Woods and the rest of it. Those are just facts. Whether you like him or not doesn't change those associations.Quite.

And VAR per se has never been a bad idea. The way it's been implemented, however, is a complete shambles. It should never have been put in the hands of the officials, who are naturally going to use it to cover their arses. It should have been an appeals-based system in the hands of the team captains as in cricket with a limited number of appeals available. Unless an appeal is made, the on-field decision stays.

This has been blindingly obvious for ages, but UEFA being what it is, they committeed it until all the stakeholders were equally unhappy with it and it was total shít.
