Would you have given a shit about his lack of intelligence and propensity for cheating if he played for us?. I wouldn’t have. Plus most of our English lads are total remedials. That Saka got high GCSE grades only serves to highlight how fucked our education system isQuote:

We move on in optimism
Thomas Frank confirmed Raya is going. :bow:
Their keeper today is tidy with the ball at his feet. Have got the right one?Quote:

Quite depressing watching all the superior midfielders bought for significantly less than Declan Rice.
Yes absolutely, e.g. back when we were trying to sign Luis Suarez, post-biting etc, I was dead against it, he didn't behave like an Arsenal player for meQuote:

It's something for our fans to be proud of IMO
The Saudis are literally buying up the game wholesaleQuote:

Anyway, I just hope he'll be able adapt to us because we definitely won't be adapting to him under Arteta.
For me the sin is not to dive and cheat, but to be bad at it. If you’re going to down like you’ve been taken out by a sniper in Row Z have the common decency to stay down to lend some realism to your performance.Quote:

Here we have a tendency to look upon it as gobbing in someone’s face because we kid ourselves of being a country that’s founded on the spirit of fair play.
Basically whilst I wouldn’t want one of our players to make a habit of it, I don’t think my sense of morality would be outraged if they were a little bit of a con artist in moderation
