He put Xhaka in and in that paragraph he said:
Now let me think, what were the many contributions he brought to the game that sit alongside people like, say, Pele, Banks, Moore, Greaves, Paine, the Charlton brothers, etc?
He scored a good goal and that is all that counts. But not for Armstrong it seems. So he scored a goal and plays for a top 6 (or wannabe top 6) side
Crooks was actually a reasonable spokesman for his fellow players when he was chair of the Professional Footballers Association in the last couple of years of his playing career.
Yeah wonder if it was same one for the WH game? Surely he’s gotta be our new lucky mascot?
Even worse if you read his twatish comments about poor old Arsenal having to play 3 games in a week! He is a total bellend.
Arsenal fans are making a huge deal of this. The only point they have is that DCC was all over Jesus a couple of times. Not exactly game changing stuff.
Agreed. No excuse for an attempted headbutt though. That's the only thing where I think Arsenal have grounds for complaint. Although that happened so late on even if Lyanco was sent off I don't think it would have made any difference to the score. Lyanco will probably avoid a 3 match ban (which he deserves) as the referee dealt with it at the time.
Far from conveniently forgetting to mention (which some do and deliberately clip out of the videos) but there are others who just deny it happening. Ones who admit to only watching clips and not the game. They seem to legit think he is such a psycho that he would lose it and lash out unprovoked. He shouldn’t have lost it of course but still
You’d think if it was worthy of a red card then VAR would have called it back. It can upgrade cards
Probably should have done. By law, an attempt to strike is as much violent conduct as striking an opponent.
Direct football isn't always the long ball stuff Burnley used to play. It just means attacks are formed quickly and with fewer passes.
