I’m sorry but Arteta is remarkable. His defensive numbers aren’t particularly surprising although it should be acknowledged he is significantly ahead of everyone else. It’s the attack that’s impressive when you consider the forward players he’s had access to. Incredible.
I’ve already said I sympathise with Dowman surrounding the red card.
However I also believe this is a perfect learning opportunity for Max. Arteta is perfectly within his rights to publicly discipline him.
At least 2 horror challenges on Dowman tonight. His reaction was fully justified after the ref failed to give him any protection all game.
Omg Viktor Gyökeres has just done the best thing he’s EVER done in an Arsenal shirt. Great assist. Great finish from Rice.
Saka is my favourite ever Arsenal player. He represents our club perfectly.
But if these injuries continue and he can’t recover his best form then he simply can not continue to be the focal point of our attack. It’s unsustainable.
Football and its injuries are so cruel.
The Champions League is in a pretty dark place. UEFA allowed both City and PSG to get away with breaking all their rules. However PSG won’t be facing domestic action like City because the French league now solely survives because of PSG.
UCL is becoming a one team tournament.
Counter argument: City have the best players in the world and their only real weakness over the years has been complacency. Every game being hotly contested could spur them on.
It won’t be his decision. He won’t be able to obtain a license if the guilty verdict stands.
Just a nonsense argument. Man City’s success is the “no rules” case study. The least competitive era of premier league football.
General sale. Up to 4 tickets per person. Premier league Saturday 3pm kick off.
But sure your global reach is on par with Real Madrid.
Wait what actually happens to all these teams? If the owners are deemed to no longe be “fit and proper” will they all be forced to sell? Or do other leagues not have the same owner scrutiny? @themagic_tophat do you know?
So what Peps managerial career will boil down to winning a one club league a couple of times?
Dark dark times for him.
🚨💣 UEFA OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
“UEFA can confirm that it has received from Real Madrid CF a SUBSTANTIAL amount of documents related to the ongoing investigation into FC Barcelona in the matter involving José María Enríquez NEGREIRA, former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (the so-called "Negreira case").
UEFA's Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors have also received these latest documents, which they will assess as part of their ongoing review of the case.”
As I’ve said before, the reason City haven’t just rolled over is because the purpose of City is to legitimise UAE. They don’t care about football. This is all about their countries reputation.
