No contest once Stockpile FC enter the race tbh. Common sense and good career decisions go out of the window for players once they make their pitch to players

Not a fan of Goldbridge at all but seen a few clips criticising Arsenal and he's absolutely spot on. To go 120 minutes and manage a single shot on target and 24% possession in the final is abysmal. Saka completed 4 passes in 83 minutes, they're disgusting to watch - they're effective but it's awful to see them actively killing the game as much as possible. Reducing the contest to a series of set pieces rather than playing football. So pleased they lost, they're a stain on the sport the way they approach and destroy the game, utterly foul

Get directly. The fuck. In Couldn't happen to a bigger cunt too. Hope this haunts the cheating, whinging, exaggerating performative cunt. He finally got what has been in the post for months now

Normally I'd say something like 'there's no way *defending team* can hold on like this for the rest of the match, they'll cave eventually' But I think this Arsenal team actually could, their whole team is deliberately set up to do just this. That early goal played exactly into their hands, they get to destroy yet another game. Shithouse FC

Well I think it happened, yeah I mean it's impossible to come up with metrics for commitment and personal investment into the club, they're intangibles but I think it's fair to say that lots of people noticed the same things at the same time - maybe all those people were wrong and Gordon was giving his all in every game but that doesn't marry with what I was watching. I think a few things probably nudged him towards checking out - the ridiculous red vs Brighton that put him out of the LC Final thus missing out on a huge day/opportunity. The revenge red against v Dijk that put us under huge pressure early on this season seemed massively personal to him at the direct cost to the team overall. Qarabag away where he filled his boots personally but pissed off his own mates in the process. Being potentially touted around in the summer window(s) maybe? Probably a few more too Anyway he's gone, he's history and personally won't miss him and I'm absolutely fine with anyone not sharing this sentiment tbh

Saw something about the ref tonight being a pure card fiend, lashes about 5 a game out normally. Can see it being really tight and niggly too with both teams mixing it up. Fouls and cards could be the way to bet tonight imo

I stopped caring about Anthony Gordon when he stopped giving a shit about the club and started purely playing for himself. I get the fact he's ambitious and wanted to impress but I saw him go through the motions way too often only to suddenly turn it on again when he was in the spotlight. It's a team game and he decided he didn't want to be a part of that any longer and I've got no time for people like that. He's now got his move and the PR stuff from him and the club looks very polished and encourages the 'best wishes' mob. The Gordon of 2 years ago was excellent and gave a shit. The Gordon that left yesterday isn't remotely close to being the same player. He's been looking after himself for months and months, which is fair enough - I get it, but I'll certainly not be lining up to heap praise on him, he gave up on the club. I genuinely couldn't give a fuck what he goes on to do, good, bad or indifferent

Good good, can't wait to see the back of him. Phoned it in for over a year now and I've got no time for anyone who's not committed to the club, it's been painfully obvious he's been playing for himself and couldn't give a shit about the club, his teammates or his manager. Get the little cunt out asap and I don't give a tenth of a fuck what he ends up achieving. He's not a bad player, it's even worse, he's a player who just stopped giving a fuck and they're legit poison. Cut the cancer out and let him be bang average for Barcelona instead

If the stripes were on the back too then it's immediately lifted into 'a bit quirky' category. As it stands it's definitely in the 'fucking awful' category. I don't mind them doing something different but at least commit to it and do the back properly. The plain white back is the bullet straight between the eyes for it

I think League games are always the best barometer, there's too much fluctuation in Cup results and performances. We've done reasonably well in Europe this season which has been the only highlight of this dismal season tbh. To go from 5th to 12th is a huge drop off. Throw in the struggles to score and the struggles to keep clean sheets, the fact we've bottled having the lead so often, the lack of points when we've fallen behind, the lack of effort and enthusiasm, losing all of the intensity we used to have and the stubborn manager who has watched every minute unfold before him paints a pretty bleak picture. I'll stick with my 2 tbh

2/10 It's been a complete disaster from Celtic Park to Craven Cottage. It's been so bad I've not even wanted to discuss games since February. The regression and damage that this last 13 moths has done to the club is monumental, we've spend a hundred million to get massively worse and seen about 8 clubs overtake us in the process. Can't underestimate how shocking it's been, it's been a fucking disgraceful decline to watch and every single person at the club needs to take stock of it.

Not for me. I like it

Don't worry about it, I won't say a thing

Absolutely no idea how this one is going to end

This is so unprofessional from so many people. I get that people need to know (in advance out of common courtesy) but to have so many leaks and twisty fuckers the day before it's all done officially is out of order. Really shit on many levels but it seems to sum up society at the minute - let's get everything out in public and settle nothing behind closed doors. It's going to be announced in a few hours, just keep your fucking mouths shut for literally half a day ffs

They've had all week to decide what they're going to do. They've discussed nothing else, why would an appeal change any of the facts that brought them to their original decision? They've admitted the breaches and this is the punishment, get on with it. Reject the appeal immediately and let Hull and the mutants play it out

Actions have consequences - when are the PL going to find their spine? Swift, decisive action taken - they broke the rules now here are the consequences, off you fuck Good on them, the rules are there for a reason, if they're broken then expect a punishment. The minute you stop punishing it it becomes a free for all. Fuck Southampton tbph

Arsenal are the football equivalent of a snuff video. I'd rather see kittens being drowned as watch these fuckers disseminate the sport and percentage their way to the title. Abhorrent stuff each and every week

If this is what 'winning the League' looks like then you can fucking keep it. Arsenal fans will be dancing in the streets but this is an utterly joyless process. There's zero flair or spark, it's relentless formulaic percentage dirge. They're paper champions, this isn't how champions play the game, they're having to grind out a win against the worst team in the league at home. They're rotten, this is rotten This is the very definition of pulling a party popper directly into the bin. Wearing goggles in the shower etc. It's hideous to have to watch

To think that this lot are going to be crowned the best football team in the land in the next week man. They're fucking hideous 'champions'. What a disgraceful team to set the standards, uuuurrrgh, relentlessly unlikable, unpopular, unwatchable turgid shite

These cunts are going to defend the 1-0 and just grind this out aren't they?

Wonder if they're trying to steal Alonso at the 11th hour?

I'm sure that the whole process will be nice and transparent and each case heard fairly, without any bias and fully consistent. I have no concerns whatsoever tbh

Can totally see why this piece of shit was best mates with Gordon tbh. Both completely obsessed with themselves and their own individual achievements at the expense of the clubs they claim to represent, they're looking after themselves and themselves alone, fuck their clubs, fuck the fans of their clubs they're utterly selfish. Hope the pair of them get hateful reducers in the first 10 minutes of the first group games they play in. Utter wankers the pair of them
