    Gazza has collapsed and been rushed into intensive care. I like that guy, it’s a shame but he’s never been able to shake off his issues and he’s always been surrounded by the wrong people.

    I know 2 people who knew Gazza through being involved in football,neither would have a bad word said against him. Such a shame it all turned out for him as it did.

    Arguably the most talented English footballer of the last 50 years ...

    Scored that sick free kick in 91 against the Goonz to get us to the final then emotion got the better of him and he chopped that Forest player Charles’s legs off and got himself a major injury in the first half of the final

    Just ****ed in the head

    emotional decision making

    cognitive dissonance all ****ed up

    hope he recovers

    I work with a lad who grew up (not with but alongside him) who got into an argument with him when they were about 16, Gazza threatened to batter him so he backed down.
    Lovely lad and says Gazza is too.

    Just an interesting fact to throw in here.

    Gazza is one of many football geniuses who have had issues.

    People always say a move to United would have helped him, looking back, it never would have. Was lucky to see him in an Everton shirt and see fleering glimpses of his talent. Hope he is well soon

    Arsenal getting away lightly with this, me thinks.


    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he is "100%" sure the club followed the right processes when dealing with former midfielder Thomas Partey, who was under police investigation for multiple counts of rape while he was playing for the club.

    The Ghana midfielder, 32, left Arsenal at the end of his contract on 30 June and four days later was charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

    The offences are reported to have taken place in 2021 and 2022, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement on 4 July.

    The charges involve three women, with two counts of rape relating to one woman, three counts of rape in connection to a second woman and one count of sexual assault linked to a third woman.

    Everton stopped a player accused of something from playing, his contract ran down, an asset lost.
    Arsenal did what they wanted and the player got to carry on in the public eye.

    Sadly our club done the same with previous owners. Johnson should have been suspended and put on leave from day one once the club were made aware of the charges. It was shameful and it’s the same for Arsenal. They carried on playing with a player they knew had all these rape allegations against him because it benefitted the club to do so.

    Can you imagine the furore if Arsenal had actually won something with him playing?

    18 VAR errors last season. Not where people feel hard done by or they thought VAR had got it wrong. This is the list of actual recognised errors after reviewing them all.

    Not sure that's right. I'm sure the PL admitted to us that one which went against us was wrong.

    Imagine if he'd scored the winning goal in the CL final. They'd have had t shirts of him printed and everything.

    Obviously you need a hell of an imagination when it comes to Arsenal winning a European trophy but still.
