If Kane had gone to City last season, then maybe City wouldn't have gone all out for Haaland. Haaland would have ended up at a more loathsome destination like Utd or Chelsea. All in all it's a win for me. Bayern will win Bundesliga for the next 3 seasons in a row and will hardly trouble the CL semis as the rest of the team is bang average.
We move on in optimism

Thomas Frank confirmed Raya is going.![]()
Neymar could be off to Saudi now.
Such a waste of a talent after Barcelona.
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 me
I think quite genuinely that while we've had players who can mix it a bit in the past, we've never gone in for wholesale diving and cheating, which is shown clearly by the reaction whenever we do, i.e. the media etc go crazy, even though other teams do it all the time
It's something for our fans to be proud of IMO
What's more depressing is that even the blind can see that Rice's attributes would far better suit a team that plays quick counter attacking football, something Arteta doesn't even pretend to make us do.
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.
Biting players is just a bizarre thing to do. South Americans are a curious bunch, there is a trend in that part of the world to applaud players for their cleverness for duping the officials (presumably at least until that same trick is used against their team). 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
