A crowd of us football supporters met up for few beers last week. We all support the usual London teams, the Gooners, the Spuds, the Happy Hammers and the CWC's. The usual banter ensues with the biggest p@ss takes all being aimed at the deluded Spuds supporters. We did manage to all agree on one thing, Premiership football has become boring. Yes, even the Gooners who are very happy watching their team win the premiership are in most games bored senseless. I'm all about the result but I have long since realised I will really only really enjoy our football for a few games a season, I also have to admit that our beloved game has become predictable and dull. There is no player at my club who constantly gets me out of my seat and when I watch other teams play on TV no player from any team gives me that OMG feeling.
Some will say it's over coaching or maybe just a phase football is going through, maybe it's a bit of everything. I am pretty sure that the governing bodies are not going to demand that players stop being coach or managers must stop applying tactics, so for the time being, we have what we have and it's generally as dull as dishwater. Something needs to change. Maybe more points for an away win, was one suggestion made on my lads booze fest. I'm not a fan of playing rule changes but I do think that some decisions need to made.

There are far too many Pep's love children following his tactics for things to change.

I do think a good rule change would be a 0-0 draw, gaining neither team a point. No one wants to watch a 0-0, and it is a barrier to more people getting into the game.

Use the clear daylight offside. It would get players running in behind. Teams struggle with timings and being offside.
This would create more goals, speed up VAR, and stop players from holding their runs, being afraid to be offside.

Just bin off VAR.
