Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Mac76]

It was never my understanding that he was supposed to be first choice, more a utility player and to that end I had less problem with us signing him although I felt the priority should have been central midfield.

If he was just another player that was sometimes in the team and sometimes not, I wouldn't get so exercised about it, but his first-on-the-team-sheet status, plus undeserved gushing from many fans who are way too easily impressed by seeing someone run around a lot, really annoys me

I might have misjudged Saka. Literally. Used the wrong criteria to judge him.

Greame Le Saux opened my eyes by saying he's been arsenal best player again, not necessarily due to his performance but the smile on his face he plays with, despite having to go through so much at such a young age.

All this time I was judging him as a footballer, not a TV talent show contestant.

My bad.

He's just came second I'm the FWA awards, btw.

Second best player in the league this season.

Let that sink in.

Fuck off

It’s nice to see I still command respect around here

He doesn’t run around a lot, I wouldn’t mind if he did

I've always said these guys were dodgy, most people just tune them out, they've nothing to do with the improved atmosphere and I'd heard before about the anti-semitism, no surprise when see their neo-fascist dress sense and banners

Gosh a club based in an area with a large Muslim community, with large support from Black and Asians both here and abroad expresses a high volume of Antisemitism.

Knock me down with a feather

Next you’ll be telling me that these same fans become extremely homophobic whenever the club for corporate reasons brings out the Rainbow adverts.

It’s almost as if racism and bigotry isn’t about white colonialism and it’s actually a result of human beings being primitive and tribal. And trying to police it, is like trying to fish diarrhoea out of a toilet bowl with a sieve

Except from what i've seen the group concerned is almost wholly, if not entirely, white and male

That I find more surprising. In reality despite the fear drumbeat of Nazis under the bed, AS is more a preserve of Muslims and Afro-Carribeans. Then again Jeremy Corbyn has plenty of young white men supporting him.

sorry, "AS"?

meanwhile take a look at this - ok their faces are blurred out but you can see it

and why the menacing fascist imagery on the flags?

they could literally have chosen any images they wanted - including people of different races

yes as the article implies, they're currently a bunch of immature tossers who woudld no more beat you up than walk across the road when a red man is showing, but still a huge blaze can be started with a single match...
