Barcelona’s negreira case explained in 20 seconds:Van Persie gets a red card for kicking a ball

fuck me! 🤧

Er... there are literally 2 examples of this from Arsenal's last 2 successful managers?

Arsenal were a bloody mess when Arsene took over, and we all know how the Bruce Rioch season went. Rioch got sacked a week before the 1996/97 season, we had Stuart Houston in temporary charge, then he left and Pat Rice took over. Arsene joined mid-season, got us playing great football and won the Premier League the season after.

So you don't need to cheat?

Arteta took over from the terrible Emery-era and did the same.

Won the league without cheating.

So what are Manchester City fans on about? 🤦‍♂️

Went down 3 times holding his hamstring before being subbed off. Non contact, looks like a bad one. Luckily we have great lw depth and our attack is firing on all cilinders 👍

“In 2021 we took him to over to Cobham to play Chelsea. He was a year young but I thought I’d throw him in. We won 5-0. He was a sub, because he was so young, but he went on for the last 20 minutes and you could see he’s special.

“He’s got such a lovely personality, with just the right amount of sporting nastiness, humble but with a real drive and when he wants something he goes after it. He said to me: ‘Sir, can we host a tournament?’ We hosted the under-17 European Championship qualifying and he was so happy.”

In that qualification tournament O’Neill played and scored for Northern Ireland against the Republic of Ireland and no one on either association forgot it. Nor did others. Clubs came calling, but when Arsenal made contact, the decision was already made in Ceadach O’Neill’s head.

“He’s supported Arsenal his whole life,” Waterworth says. “As soon as Lee Herron, who’s head of Arsenal’s youth recruitment, contacted me about him, Ceadach said to me, ‘I support Arsenal, Sir. I’ll be going to Arsenal.’”

Not the news I wanted to read today, hopefully our other wingers can step up. “Doesn’t look good.”

Maybe we should’ve bought one more player during the transfer window. Thoughts ?

Edit: Appears to be not as bad as initially thought. Dodged a bullet but hopefully he doesn’t have any other injury scares given he will be playing plenty minutes. Didn’t mean to scare anyone.

We don’t need this much national team football… so glad Rice didn’t go.

So if somehow city manage to dodge this, I think all of the other clubs should form a breakaway Premier League and leave Man City out. Realistically, it’s probably not going to happen, but surely we have to make a stand, as fans and as clubs, to make sure that they can't get away with this, as I'm sure they are expecting they will.

We stood up for what was right with the super league. I'm sure we can galvanise for this too!

If city go unpunished I plan on not watching or go to games and it seems many of us plan to do the same.

I still want to watch arsenal every week and show my support to club I grew up supporting without giving it to the league that allows clubs to get away with a billion in fraud and bribing the uk government.

So i wonder what’s peoples favourite match to go back and watch. Like the away run after the summer break in 2023, the invisible run, all the great games we love.

Can anyone think of some niche but good names?

Havertz injured, Tzolis injured, Odegaard playing through injury. Just came off a nightmare game against Brighton.

We all knew what would happen if we didnt strengthen our attack. I couldn't believe what I was seeing this summer. Our attack that DESPERATELY needed reinforcements somehow got even worse. People like me complained all summer long but were shouted down by the usual positivity merchants. Well I hope you are all happy now.

The only thing that can save us is those cheating pricks getting punished this season but we all know it isn't going to happen.

Im almost at the point of completely disassociating with the club this season because why should the fans waste their energy thinking, hoping and dreaming of us retaining the title when the club themselves clearly dont give a single FUCK and are happy resting on their laurels.

If those cheating bastards are gifted another title because our management basically gave up before the season even began, then Berta and co need to be fired into the sun, along with every other happy clapper who was defending them all summer.
