Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

Don't think it's particularly useful to try and apportion it to any particular set of fans. Except if you can find the individuals and punish them of course. 

 

I'm sure we all have a lot of work to do. 

 

I haven't heard any racist abuse in SJP though, used to more when I was a kid. Online will be where people feel safe enough to actually say it.

Arsenal's online fans are massive AIDS. They were all over every single NUFC related post like rats after both games against us this season. Both fan and club stuff on Twitter but also our players on Insta; can have a look for yourself. I'd be astonished if it was our lot tbh.

It would boggle my brain if it was... All things considered, I just can't see it. Not saying we wouldn't have anyone who'd do it in any circumstances, mind. But happening back in the Bruce days sounds much more plausible...

I'm may be stretching here, but the worst thing about that is the way he said it, in a somewhat flippant (for lack of a better word) way, as it must mean that it is a somewhat regular occurrence for him to essentially shrug it off like it was nothing, and that in his head it is just a part of life as a black footballer. Which is undeniably really sad.

There was folk on the verge of a mental breakdown following our draw with Leeds the weekend after. 

 

Can only imagine what suffering our third  league defeat of the season did to them.

The point about coming from foreign fans might hold some water. I wouldn’t normally just like to make that assumption but within England Arsenal probably have more black fans than anyone else.

Been added by many of our fans on Twitter and followed them back as a courtesy, should see the amount of EDL type shit that a significant portion of our fans tweet.  I Wouldn’t discount it.

I'm convinced he could play up front and be effective these days, he's a completely different player. Absolute animal.

 

Not sure tbh, I still think he doesn't strike the ball particularly well. Same issue with Almiron, both of them can find their way to the goal, just neither of them seem able just to drill one into the far corner.

Agreed. I don't think he'd score many from there because there's no poacher instinct (most of his goals last season were bundled in from the left against high lines/on the counter), but he could definitely play a target man role of sorts imo; he's got the strength and close control for it. One of his best attributes is his adaptability to tactical instruction so I could see him play anywhere in the front six and do a job.
