It has been a common theme this season in the Premier League; has the quality dropped off or do we look back with rosy-tinted glasses?After watching what seems a myriad of football matches decided by schoolpark bundles from long throw-ins and corners, it is hard to disagree with the former.It only seems fitting that the masters of this style are currently leading the Premier League by seven points, with Arsenal's bully boys scraping their way to victory by any means necessary.If they pull themselves over the line, will Mikel Arteta's Gunners be remembered as pulsating champions, like Manchester United's gallivanting side under Sir Alex Ferguson or Manchester City's Centurions under Pep Guardiola? Absolutely not. But they will be champions (barring a monumental slip-up...).TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SaySpeaking exclusively to GB News in association with Spreadex Sports, Danny Murphy explained how no matter the era, football teams will always do what they must to get the three points.Murphy, who played 417 times in the Premier League for clubs including Liverpool, Fulham, Charlton and Tottenham, said: "This season there has been a focus on the importance of set plays and the long throwing coming back and more pragmatic kickoffs, lots more focus on corners.

Because I think it's another aspect of football. "What I found over my career, like Big Sam's Bolton and Tony Pulis's Stoke, it gave the lesser clubs with so-called lesser players an advantage. I think that is what football is all about. "It's finding ways to win and I don't concur with the narrative now of it being a really negative thing."An astonishing 27 per cent of goals this season in the Premier League have come from set-pieces and it has sparked emergency talks between powermakers over changes to the rules.The Premier League is a globalised product, its images beamed to televisions across the world; there is pressure on the top dogs to ensure that the content is not just 90 minutes of argy-bargy.Here, Murphy agrees and took aim at the officials, adding: "What we've done wrong is we're not officiating those situations as well as we could be. They're lasting too long. "When corners are lasting as long as they are, because there's so much going on and refs are intervening and telling players to pack it in. "It's making people feel that that's all they're watching. Now, if the ref could speed that up, I think that would help massively. "The other thing that would be the biggest help in this is that, as of now, we have a situation where, when the ball is in the quadrant of the corner, and not in play, the tussling that goes on isn't punishable."We make the rules simple: even when the ball is not in play, any offences are now punishable.""I think you'd eradicate so much time from the games and people wouldn't be focussed so much on the corners because they'd be coming in much quicker."One thing is for sure; if Arsenal win the Premier League this season, for the first time in over two decades, they won't care one jot how they do it.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

All-Stars, MVPs, and Cy Young winners. Plenty of MLB's best players will be taking the diamond and representing their countries at the 2026 World Baseball Classic. We're following along with the top moments of each day. March 6 Shohei-Time For Japan The last time we witnessed Shohei Ohtani at the World Baseball Classic was back in 2023 when he struck out his then-Angels teammate Mike Trout to secure the title for Japan over Team USA. Three years later, the Dodgers two-way superstar and back-to-back World Series champion picked up right where he left off with Team Samurai. Ohtani hit a grand slam in the second inning on Friday at the World Baseball Classic, pushing Japan to a quick lead over Chinese Taipei. He also doubled in his first at-bat in the first inning. Ohtani and Co. brought the capacity crowd at the Tokyo Dome in Japan to their 13-0 win early Friday. The champions are favorites to win Pool C (which also includes Australia, Korea, and Czechia) and advance to the WBC quarterfinals. Expect Ohtani, who will only be hitting at the WBC to keep his arm fresh ahead of the Dodgers' quest for a World Series three-peat, to keep wow-ing the crowd. That includes superstar (and team Puerto Rico fan) Bad Bunny, who was in the crowd for Japan's win. Australia's MLB Crew Off To Strong Start Two games, two wins for Team Australia. Chicago White Sox infielder Curtis Mead helped the Aussies take down Czechia 5-1 on Friday in Tokyo. Mead had a three-run shot to keep the momentum going for Australia. In their win over Chinese Taipei on Thursday, Travis Bazzana, the first pick in the 2024 MLB amateur draft taken by the Cleveland Guardians, had himself a homer. Australia reached the quarterfinals in 2023. As part of Pool C that includes Japan and Korea, they'll need to keep the momentum going if they want to reach the knockouts as one of the two teams to advance. Team USA Set For Opener San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb will start on the mound for Team USA in its first World Baseball Classic game Friday night against Brazil. With that group of All-Stars (and many), Team USA are on a mission to capture the title after falling short in 2023. Team USA manager Mark DeRosa has yet to announce his starting lineup for Friday's game. Expect a lineup that includes Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper and Cal Raleigh. In an exhibition win over the Rockies on Wednesday, Judge crushed a 453-foot solo homer in the first inning of the team's exhibition game.
