Would five subs have changed any of the games played so far? It seems to be unnecessary, trying to fix something not broken, not unlike VAR.

Genuine question here, and feel no obligation or rush to answer it, what's the misunderstanding?
As far as I can see (and I'll admit I am seeing one side of the argument only when it is quoted in replies) a poster has made a facile, or perhaps worse, remark about a player's Ghanaian surname and other posters have understandably objected.
When called out about it that poster has become aggressive and abusive in an attempt to deflect the criticism.
As an aside, I don't think you have to "deal with it" and this place is at it's best when it's self-policing. That might not always be the way but certainly in this case nobody's gone over the top in their objections to the original post.

When Saturday Comes, and the fanzines it kind of built on, was built precisely on the ethos that we're not "that kind" of football fan, when before Euro 96 everyone assumed you were. That is pretty much reflected in how this board works and who's on it.

There’s a lot of bad, unsavoury or otherwise stuff that football fans get up to whether it’s what is said, actions or other and I wouldn’t have expected people here to want to be associated with it at all and tarred with that brush of “football fan” which is placed upon everyone, good, bad or indifferent.

Originally posted by Satchmo Distel View PostI agree we need a full season before we can measure the impacts of 5 subs, and it's likely to work the same way as having deeper squads, where the inequalities kick in after Xmas.

I know the BBC are a rights holder for the PL (and that they get the bonus of live matches while they're behind closed doors) but their giddy, breathless attempts to sell this ersatz, enervated, fan-free season so far are a little desperate :

Christiansen rugby-tackled Mane, Egan and Villa player both grabbed one another (ok, Egan did more of grabbing).
I can't find a video of it, but one of the most memorable counter examples I can think of is Jamie Carragher chopping down michael Owen (Man utd) on the halfway line as he chased a pass in behind, and he only got a yellow card. I think that's nearly 10 years ago, and we've seen too many goals from that situation for people to be still getting away with it.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 21-09-2020, 22:00.

In fairness I think the context is that this is the highest number of goals in a round of Premier League games ever.

Seeing as I find the lack of supporters in the ground an irrelevance from a TV watching perspective (I mute the sound when they add ‘crowd noise’), for me it would come down how the games themselves went. But not necessarily as simple as most goals = most entertaining, mind. It was a very good round of games, though.
