    Some of us were raising the issues in on the oldBBC site years ago, but often found our comments removed by the over zealous mods there

    Yep.
    Guilty until proven innocent and not even then? Fair enough.
    You didn't have enough players due to your own actions and not covid.
    You manipulated a system that was in place to protect people from a pandemic.
    It's despicable behaviour.

    Postponing a game when, by your own admission, you were heavily depleted is an advantage.
    It's just silly to claim otherwise.
    Neither I nor Spurs have previous history of assisting "****ty companies and corrupt governments."
    Arsenal are sponsored by two dictatorships, though. That's not debatable.

    I've not said anything about Utd or Liverpool's owners, barring criticising the former for being poor.
    City, Chelsea and Arsenal all have clear links to dictatorships and criminals.
    You may accept that. It doesn't mean that others should.
    The comparison is just facile and it clearly is a comparison.
    It's reminiscent of Chelsea fans' whataboutism about US owners compared to Abramovich.

    A bad rule which numbered squad members as opposed to COVID cases was theoretically ameliorated by review. The case could hardly have been clearer for the review to deny Arsenal's request. Instead they acted as if their hands were tied when they were not.

    Meanwhile...same old Arsenal, always cheating. Saka doesn't get the foul he doesn't deserve, so he stays down and whines until the jellyfish award the free kick, which Arsenal score from.

    Ashley Young's flexibility has gone. He's no longer able to starfish himself into the box.

    Skid-Row's are far more effective.

    Puma and Adidas, the latter being named after it's founder Adolf Dassler.
    Adolf was supposedly not a big fan, but his brother Rudolf was and they fell out over it.

    See also Volkswagen (obviously), BMW, Mercedes, IBM and Hugo Boss, who designed the SS uniforms.
    Probably a bit late to give any of those companies too much grief for any of it, though.

    I didn't see this last night. No card, apparently. Lucky. Very lucky.

    Tbf, Arsenal were dominating for the few minutes I watched. But the goal was the direct result of Saka's bullying officials into a bad decision.

    Got one on target with the last kick of the game when he should've crossed it.
    Stevie G's still a ****er, then.
