They can’t even manage that this season:
Start as you mean to continue, I suppose…

No fucking way. This has been an open secret for 2-3 years and now there is finally follow through and identification a matter of days after his contract ends. This is shady as fuck.

Twice…suppose there is some justice in that. Especially as financial dopers didn’t win it both times instead.
Arsenal women’s team must be proud to represent this mob.
Trying to work out why the police would hold off until the contract ended.
Now they will all hide behind the good old “we can’t comment on a police matter blah blah”
And then he gets off like most of them.

On or off the pitch?

I’m extra glad they won fuck all. May they always come second.
He hasn’t been found guilty of anything. And presumed innocence is the law. He wasn’t charged, he wasn’t on bail, he made no admissions of guilt. There is an argument that not playing him or ceasing his contract would corrupt his right to a fair trial.
But…
If Arteta, Arsenal, PL, UEFA had a percentage inkling of guilt, they are as morally and ethically bankrupt as I feared. If their tilt at success was aided by a player they guarded, well then they got what they deserve. Fuck all.
Circle the wagons around the bad boys. Fuck, we did it with Suarez. Maybe incorrectly.
But my firm belief is that we would jettison a player if we were suspicious that he had committed a sexual related offence.
Partey may well be innocent.
But Arteta will need to comment if he is found guilty.
Because there is no excuse if that outcome happens.
There’s an acceptance among the LFC fanbase that Liverpool did the wrong thing defending Suarez when he was accused of racism.
But this is arsenal doubling down on a rape accused and hiding behind the injunction. I suppose the ends justify the means for arsenal. Fitting that their team won fuck all. And this is a slap in the face to their women’s team who has won recently.
United did with Greenwood. Everton did with Gylfi. I’m sure Liverpool would do the same but we don’t have the dickheads amongst out playing group now. We jettisoned Flanagan(I’m not going into the degrees of violence here)
City were forced to do with Mendy even after initially playing him.
Arsenal hid behind the injunction and continued playing the guy. Fuck them. Even more low class and crass than the Oil clubs.

Impossible to know who is a dickhead (without known incidents or processes going on) or not or who is capable of doing certain things even for club officials at times, let alone us fans.
If an employee has sexual assault claims levied against him, what do you do?
Put him on leave until the matter is closed?
Or
Put him out front as a public face of the company?
For clarity
This is a general question
I was referring to the bit that we don’t have dickheads in our playing group. There is no way for us to know that.
I agree. Show me any group of 30 lads who are all sound people?
We probably have one or two.
You can actively select for soundness though. We know the club has a no dickheads policy. We know they go really deep on character references and personality. It’s not like they are taking thirty random lads.
I think the worst that can be said about ours is that a few have questionable political opinions. And I don’t think we’d sign Lovren today.
