Can't believe the pace shown by Joe there. Thought it was Bruno. Amazing assist.

Guy is so great in midfield man. I still can't quite get over just how good.

Everytime Joelinton is in position to play a final ball he almost always gets it right. Unbelievable.

Huge kudos to ASM releasing Joelinton early. Love ASM's mindset and game today. Please man stay like this!

And that's game over.

Especially with all the quick and clever movement from these Arsenal players. Never like Lascelles defending against this sort of team. Hopefully we keep dominating possession so they don't get at the backline too much.

Schar can't catch a break man. Keeps getting decked.

Almiron doesn't ever really take people on. Wish he would once in a while, got so much pace that would be so dangerous even just knocking it past them and looking to run onto it.

Haha Maxi about to go from 10 to 11 here with Cedric coming on.

Cedric will concede a penalty.

Maxi looking back to his best today. What a goal that would have been.

This is my favourite ASM game in a while. Top notch decision making of when to go and not so far.

Still look a bit toothless in that final third despite having more possession. Ramsdale hasn't had a sot to save yet. 

 

That's go to be the priority this summer - covert pressure and possession into shots and goals.

I couldn’t play with my teeth doing that like 

Yeah ... can't believe they just left it like that and he's gone back out there. Probably yank it out at half time.

This performance by Wilson is really showing up Wood's generally hold up and link up play. Feels like we have an extra player out there.

ASM looking good so far, making passes instead of running into trouble 

Been fantastic. Wish he would do this all the time. It's finding it's way back to him in good positions to take people on too. He's been perfect. Please keep this up ASM.

My goodness this is an incredible performance so far.

Sure, but not to the extent that they're the same people then hurling abuse when the same optics are there.

I've seen it before, unfortunately. Once the emotions kick in and people get wound up over whatever. All sorts of madness goes down.

But anyway I'm going to leave this now, because honestly, I find it all quite depressing.

Just now, Conjo said:

You got it wrong Kaka, I'm not a believer.

Well, that's fine man. Let's leave all this.

Just want to be able to enjoy a bit of football, so lets do that.

Religion is indoctrinated into you from birth in most instances. You're literally brain washed. If nobody told you about some divine energy, you'd never think about it.

LGBTQ+ people are never indoctrinated (despite what lunatic ring wing nut jobs tries to say) and finds it out on their own.

 

Big difference. 

I mean, ultimately, you're just completely married to your belief system while being completely dismissive and intolerant of other people's experiences and beliefs. And I guess that's fair enough. Now as long as no one is mistreating anyone else based off of any of that, then can we all just get on with things. We'll all be dead soon enough anyway and then we'll all know for certain.

Think it's you tbh Kaka. Totally agree that BLM and taking the knee has become a co-opted gesture from inherently racist institutions, but you're kidding yourself if you think anyone in the crowd applauding rainbow laces and taking the knee are the same people then throwing around homophobia and racism. Dunno if you realise but the bigots in the U.K don't really hide it.

There will always be those that are open about it, sure.

However, if you really think, there aren't a bunch of people that go along with this sort of stuff for the optics, and then practice something else, then I don't know what to say really.

Religious fanatics have an actual mental disorder as opposed to the people Gueye is refusing to support. PSG should send him to reparative therapy camp so he can live free of the chains of a book of silly stories.

That's interesting. I would argue that the majority of them just have their beliefs that they follow privately, and keep to themselves, while treating everyone the same.

The level of disdain you have for their personal beliefs is akin to the level of disdain you imagine they all have for LGBTQ people, so really what's the difference. It's all ego and everyone thinking they have all the answers and have everything all figured out.

It would be better to also keep religion out of it then would it not?  

Not sure I understand what you mean, but I don't understand why any of this sort of stuff is done this way, because I see no evidence of it making ay kind of positive difference.

People's backgrounds and belief systems are so diverse and complicated and influenced by a myriad of things. As long as they aren't out harming or mistreating anyone then just leave all this rubbish out man.

I’m not discounting the fact that people are hypocrites, we all are. However, the vast majority of people hurling racial abuse are the ones who boo taking the knee and are “all lives matter” lads. You don’t seem to understand social psychology, the whole point of taking the knee and rainbow laces etc is that it becomes more and more stigmatised to be racist or homophobic. The more people that support those causes, the more ostracised racists become as it’s deemed socially unacceptable and ultimately they get called out for it, outed for being racists and get banned from games. It’s a huge societal process and takes ages to change. Would be interested to find out what you think would reduce racism and homophobic behaviour Kaka

Honestly, it's actually getting to the point that I'm just as suspicious, even if not moreso of the people that go on about all these things all the time. I think it's become  a very convenient cover.

I don't see any of this nonsense changing. I just don't think most people are raised with any sense of decency or regard for other people, somewhere along the line it's just been lost or not deemed as important. All this kneeling, t-shirts, or rainbow colours aren't going to reverse all that. No chance.

Just now, ponsaelius said:

 

You're referring to people as if they are one homogenous being. What a bizarre thing to say. I doubt anybody applauding the knee is also being racially abusive.

Just now, gbandit said:

Aye, definitely the same people

I mean how naive are you guys really.

Just now, ponsaelius said:

 

If that was the case he wouldn't have thought twice about wearing a shirt with a rainbow number on it.

Um ... no.

Afterall people are applauding the kneeling and still hurling racial abuse about quite comfortably.

Even if you believe the nonsense you posted about Gueye, surely the point of it is to educate homophobic people and be welcoming to openly gay supporters/players.

 

I would hate us to sign a homophobic player

And who says he isn't welcoming to them if he interacts with them? What, you think any gay person that walks up to a religious person just gets abused or smacked around? Are you actually serious?

Religion being used as an excuse to be homophobic will never not anger me.

No ... that's just you having a problem with anyone that follows a religion, because you don't.

I doubt he spends a second worrying about what anyone is choosing to do sexually. Unless you can prove he is attacking anyone for it, then quit accusing him of being homophobic. That is ridiculous.

What nonsense

Whatever man ... feel free to carry on with the nonsense. 

Keep kneeling and wearing rainbow colours and fooling yourselves.

Just now, 54 said:

If it's such "nonsense" and "meaningless", then why has he decided to boycott it?

 

Like it or not, by doing so he has made it clear that he is against LGBTQ rights, and that he doesn't share the mantra of equality for all, he is rightly getting shite, as it's an unbelievable shitty world view. 

 

And this whole "Racism still happens so what's the point" is the exact reason it needs to carry on, as the more that message is engrained into people the more people might use a Braincell and realise were all the exact same.

This is completely delusional and it will NEVER work this way. What a complete and utter joke man.

All these stupid meaningless gestures are just being put in place so that people can all get on their high horse and self righteously have a go at others. Behind closed doors everyone is doing something very different. It's bullshit.
