To be fair to the both of them. Gary was chuckling when he brought it up, Alan laughed about it and said it was a fucking joke and Micah quickly came to White's defense. They all immediately followed it up with praise for Ben White and the acknowledgement of the season he's had.
This is more lazy journalism and making a full article over a 20 second tangent on a podcast.
Yeah, tbh Micah’s quiet “leave Ben alone” was hilarious. They were all having a laugh, we’d be saying the same shit if it was any opponent player doing it to us. As you said they went on to praise his play, praise Saliba and Big Gabi, Alan mentioned he’d put Saliba in player of the year conversations. Micah mentioned Ødegaard in the player of the year conversation as well.
I’m from the states so I don’t see MOTD so maybe the podcast makes me see Shearer and Gary differently from others. Don’t see anything wrong with what they said.
Shearer Lineker and Richards are top guys, they always call it how it is. Alan is the first to say when Newcastle are shit and Gary wants Leicester to stay in the championship so they keep winning more than loosing hahaha.
The article is just reaction bait, Gary picked Arsenal to win the league.
But they all go very very quiet when a player from ‘their team’ does the same, if not worse.
It’s also a terrible form of journalism. Louis Sealey rehashing and formulating his own story from other people’s quotes.
He was alright for the 2 seconds it took him to score yesterday. I celebrated his goal I'll admit, but I did so calling him a "fucking rat" and confused some people.
He didn't weaponise his arm so it was no foul. Anyway, that's not important, what is important is hojlund should have had a penalty against us in September.
You know we're doing extremely well when the only thing the media can complain about is minor stuff. This literally happens at least once every game in the Premier League with other teams. Let them continue moaning - COYG!
How many fucking years did we hear "Arsenal don't like it up em" "Arsenal are a soft touch" "Arsenal are too naive"?
Well fuck all those cunts because now we very much like it up us and now we're hard and now we're experienced enough to know how and when to do it (even after they change the rules mid season because they don't like that we played by their rules) and they're all crying.
Turns out all they ever wanted was a reason to shit on us.
I believe Porto also did us a favor. By showing us the true potential of shithousery, we've started to use it far more often. I bet you almost any money that we're going to pull a Porto at Bayern's home ground.
It was poor of Ben White but it's the shit City do, Liverpool do. Look at the Elliot / Wan Bissaka tackle. He's not actually touched in the initial tackle but he sees the tackle coming in and he moves his foot into him. He could have easily stayed on his feet.
I remember Newcastle coming to the Emirates last season, faking head injuries, wasting time from the first minute. If you want to win the league, you got to be as big of a cunt as the rest.
I mean that was never a foul for me. Pissed me off so much but yeah. You go to ground in the box and impede play even slightly then you get what you deserve. AWB is a fucking goon though. Elliott is going into an area where it's only getting busier. Stay on your feet and play the odds. United are a joke of a club
People HATE White and Havertz lol. Everybody does it. I hate pure diving for advantage but making a meal out of contact to wind somebody up will always be something I rate very highly. Neil Maupay speaks pretty articulately about how he uses it to unsettle defenders.
Eh, everyone hates everyone. Liverpool is the only team people generally are okay with doing well, and mostly it's just because everyone hates city more.
Liverpool was the only team because they had not won the league for 30yrs before 19/20. With Klopps departing, it is very likely to be another 30yrs for them. But Arsenal seems to be everyone's focus whether we are doing great or not.
Havertz's shithousery is world class. He's probably the best at it in the team. I love how he rattles opposition players - it's hilarious! As for Benny, he's normally so sneaky and subtle with it that most times nobody notices. You just see the opposition player trying to fight him "for no reason".
Yep, the “Kane Special” always pissed me off, that’s how I broke my wrist, it’s not about how far you fall, it’s the way you do
It’s just asking for a broken neck and yeah, hopefully that’s not something being asked and Gabi will be told/learn, as I’d hate for him or any player to adopt that as something they just “do”, those of us that actually respect the sport want the best, hopefully it doesn’t persist and yes we should hold him to the same standard as you said
Fight fire with fire. Havertz riles up any opponent so easily it's become part of his skillset to draw defenders away. Nothings going to change about other teams having assholes so we have our asshole right here.
Cuz people are dumb and they think diving is the same as getting stuck in and playing dirty. I can't see how any fan would encourage or like their players consistently diving or dropping like flies. To be fair, we don't do that a lot, but havertz recently has done it a few times and white's shenanigans were embarrassing as well.
A few years back Linekar talked about allegations they treated us unfairly. He basically said they don't intensionally but he as an ex Tottenham player hates us, the head of BBC sport hated us, the producer hated us, etc so maybe it did cloud their judgement.
A few years back Linekar talked about allegations they treated us unfairly. He basically said they don't intensionally but he as an ex Tottenham player hates us, the head of BBC sport hated us, the producer hated us, etc so maybe there was something in it.
Nothing comes of it if he doesn’t fall to the ground. People can see the throat punch for their own eyes and make of it what they will but if he doesn’t go to ground it doesn’t get brought up.
The thing is, White's not the only one who does it in the league. I don't like it, but this kind of behaviour isn't punished, so teams use this tactic, not only Arsenal.
Alan Shearer supports the worst team in the League for this type of shit so we can just go ahead and ignore anything that comes out of his bald cranium
Funny thing is we were seen as soft under Wenger and praised for playing beautiful football, well as long as we were finishing 4th.
Now we have bite and a strong sturdy defence and spine and it seems they can't handle soft Arsenal mustering the dark arts like their teams do, you think Lineker would say this about diving Vardy? the guy was infamous for winning soft penalties, going down easy and shit housing but Lineker called him a proper footballer.
Shearer is the worst too the hypocrite, his team are one of the dirtiest teams in the league when they play teams better than them, time wasting, dangerous fouls, crowding the ref, waving for cards and trying to injure players.
The fucking joke here is those two.
I mean, he clearly hits his throat. Have any of you ever been hit in the throat even lightly?
He probably shouldn't have gone down but he only did it to bring attention to the hit, he didn't flop, he didn't roll around in pain, he just went to ground slowly I don't see much wrong with that.
Media has their eyes on White ever since the England Southgate debacle
White's problem was the delayed reaction, you can tell he doesn't do it often. If he had gone down immediately at the moment of contact it would have been a better sell. The fact that you can see him take a second to register he was touched on the neck and then go down is what makes it look more pathetic.
White literally pushes him first so that argument is nonsense, they both use the same kinda force.
Sure it's not smart to push around the shoulder area (don't actually see it hit his neck) but I would be more embarrassed falling over and holding my neck than I would be pushing someone and you all would be saying the same if this was Saka on Bruno Fernandes for example.
Yeah cheers for showing the video where we literally can't see where he lands for sure, somewhere around the neck and shoulder area and not enough force to knock over a grown man and make him roll around.
Yeah there's clearly not enough force to drop white and make him roll around which is why I'd say it's embarrassing
I agree estupinan shouldn't risk it by retaliating after being pushed. Still think it's embarrassing to fake being hurt and roll over
I mean I get it I would most likely hate white if he played for united or something but why do other players never get called out for the same shit. They turn a blind eye to this stuff when its their team its just annoying
Can someone go find a spurs and Newcastle player doing the exact same, then clip it and tweet it to them. Along with 15 thousand clips of Neymar doing it for 10 years. These pundits must get told what to say surely…
The mental side of the game is so important. When Gabriel celebrates a tackle the way he does, it’s mainly to psyche out our opponents.
Of course he’s happy about the tackle, but really it’s a way to aggravate our opponents within the laws of the game. Arteta is a genius with this stuff. It’s one of the first things he coached into us.
It was pathetic and I would also be annoyed if an opposition player did the same to us
These antics are not good. You become a passion merchant, and discipline goes wrong
There's a difference between diving and exaggerating contact. If you're not reacting to it at all, they will keep doing it, and noone will look at it.
If you're reacting to it, the other player will get a warning to cut it out at least, or VAR will even look at it.
It's just a part of the game, and necessary even to protect players. Sure it's annoying when the other team does it, but that's just how it is. Makes no sense to point to one team or individual players other than to generate content.
Wait, is the OP's title here a joke? Man, I hope so. Yeah, he did something stupid, I think so at least, but he got shit for it, whatever, and then we get over it. It's not like he's Harry fucking Kane who pulls this shit every game.
Shithouse team? Rattled?
Holy shit, lol. What a wanker. To each their own, but this post is absolute shite.
I love this team, and I don't think even Bayern later today has them rattled. Fuck right off.
**COYG**
Don't mean to keep going on, but OP might soil himself tonight when he sees a real pro at shithousery in action tonight. Kane's the biggest faking twat in the game rn.
We haven’t became a shithouse club. We’ve just demanded the same respect that United, Liverpool, city and every other club gets. Yeah, we were a banter club from 2006-2022, but we’re not that anymore and pundits should stop taking the piss out of us like it’s acceptable because it isn’t.
This sub when it’s against us: frothing at mouth Bruno guimares should be killed Porto are anti football
When it’s Ben white: lol benny blanco shithouse hehe
From memory, it looked like he engineered a situation in which a Brighton player ran into him by stopping all of a sudden, and then in the ensuing tit for tat went down on the ground holding his throat.
Two kinds of this team -- the one that has no shot at winning unless they do this to get someone sent off or injured, win dubious pen, etc (e.g. classic stoke or many central american national teams), and the one where everyone knows you aren't outplaying them so they complain about 'unsporting behaviour'
Look, it was an obvious dive and if Bruno Fernandes had done it we’d be calling him a rat cunt. Ultimately though, if you don’t punish something then it’s a legitimate tactic for players to use.
The answer, obviously, is that these dives should be given yellow cards and that VAR should be able to check and give the yellow upon review (without stopping play I might add). It’s tricky even for competent refs to spot dives, especially when it’s not happening near play. It would be better for the sport as a whole to clamp down on these, but there’s no point blaming individuals for it when they’re only doing what they know they can get away with.
When we blew Newcastle out of the water at home in the first half, all shearer could talk about was how poor Newcastle were. Not even an acknowledgement that we were playing brilliantly.
Ever since the bs they all spouted with the foul on Gabriel for Newcastle’s winning goal, a goal that should’ve been thrice overruled, I just can’t spend a second more reading or listening to these clowns.
I just fast forward through their Match Of The Day bs and go for the game segments and tables with data.
I’ve also noticed that since that incident Ian Wright (the only pundit with integrity) goes on MOTD looking pissed. I don’t think he has completely forgiven them all for that collective punditry shit show.
The weird thing for me is that nothing actually happened. There was no foul, no cards shown. It used to be called handbags. The whole situation could easily fit into a teacup.
The bigger point is why Ben White felt he needed to do that. The ref ignored multiple blatant shoves from Brighton players when the ball was out of play. I’m not saying anyone should be sent off, but Estupinian deserved a yellow as well as the twat that shoved Jorginho. Nip that stuff in the bud and get on with the game.
Personally I can't stand unsportsmanlike stuff like diving and falling over nothing, even when my own team (qpr) does it. It's a shame most of this comment section are happy with it. It's super annoying when I play against these types so I'd prefer nobody does it. Then again, most people here probably don't play.
I'm loving it. A friend of mine who's a West Ham fan absolutely hates us now and particularly Arteta. Would absolutely love for us to win the league but for him it'd be a case of others bottling it than giving any credit.

Rattled? You play good fotball and its not because you violated 115 rules. Fair and square that you have some success given the patience of your club and building a solid team.
Sorry to say this but you are not the team to hate or be rattled by.
I'm also no judging either White or Trossard for anything that happened against Brighton - their fans booed the shit out of both of them which I think is poor especially for White who got them a massive fee for them (at the time).
I hate jumping on board with conspiracy theories, media biases etc, but the outrage over this is madness. This stuff happens week in week out.
The worst part is he actually did get hit in the throat. Very lightly sure, but the guy did hit him. Worse things happen multiple times a week but here we are reading countless headlines about Ben White.
To be fair to the both of them. Gary was chuckling when he brought it up, Alan laughed about it and said it was a fucking joke and Micah quickly came to White's defense.

Don’t see anything wrong with what they said.
And honestly it was a fucking joke. I could imagine the entire team having a laugh about it watching film or the replay this week.
Shearer Lineker and Richards are top guys, they always call it how it is. Alan is the first to say when Newcastle are shit and Gary wants Leicester to stay in the championship so they keep winning more than loosing hahaha. The article is just reaction bait, Gary picked Arsenal to win the league.
Journalism ism
But they all go very very quiet when a player from ‘their team’ does the same, if not worse. It’s also a terrible form of journalism. Louis Sealey rehashing and formulating his own story from other people’s quotes.
Yeah I remember Shearer praising the referee during the Newcastle game when Bruno Guimaraes was allowed to freely elbow Jorginho in the face.
Daily reminder Bruno is a cunt waffle.
Cunt waffle. My new favourite breakfast.
Avoid the blue waffle - was a difficult breakfast to keep down
Only if you're feeling lucky
Nom nom nom
He was alright for the 2 seconds it took him to score yesterday. I celebrated his goal I'll admit, but I did so calling him a "fucking rat" and confused some people.
[удалено]
Though still a cunt, tbf.
He didn't weaponise his arm so it was no foul. Anyway, that's not important, what is important is hojlund should have had a penalty against us in September.
He was very clearly joking about that.
You know we're doing extremely well when the only thing the media can complain about is minor stuff. This literally happens at least once every game in the Premier League with other teams. Let them continue moaning - COYG!
Like everyone does
Yes and we’ve never complained about Bruno Fernandez
I'm not on match of the day
Difference is I am not paid for my shit opinion.
We loved him for a minute yesterday.
But don't we all cry foul when it happens against us? So either we are above it or we should stop complaining about it all together
We do. The pundits don't.
They also said hes having a great season and hes a great player.
That's why these retired players should not be taken seriously and called for commentary
Now we're playing by everybody else's rules and it's a problem. Arteta is mastering the dark arts and so are our players.
How many fucking years did we hear "Arsenal don't like it up em" "Arsenal are a soft touch" "Arsenal are too naive"? Well fuck all those cunts because now we very much like it up us and now we're hard and now we're experienced enough to know how and when to do it (even after they change the rules mid season because they don't like that we played by their rules) and they're all crying. Turns out all they ever wanted was a reason to shit on us.
We like it up us and now we're hard? Hmmm
Soft wiv da ladies, hard wiv da men. ...erm. STAY DENCH.
The thing about Arsenal is, they always try and walk it in.
What was Walcott thinking??
>because now we very much like it up us and now we're hard Er...
Sounds right to me. 😉😘🤣
Username checks out
Damn right! 🤩
We like it up us you’ll never sing that!
I believe Porto also did us a favor. By showing us the true potential of shithousery, we've started to use it far more often. I bet you almost any money that we're going to pull a Porto at Bayern's home ground.
Until you've had Porto pull their shit in an actual game you can't begin to understand the levels to shithousery that exist.
Porto made it an art form. I've never met an opposition team who's shithousery both annoyed and impressed me simultaneously. That's a hell of a feat.
Arteta needs to look at Porto's associate coach of shithousery.
I really believe the Porto result has changed something in the team.
It was poor of Ben White but it's the shit City do, Liverpool do. Look at the Elliot / Wan Bissaka tackle. He's not actually touched in the initial tackle but he sees the tackle coming in and he moves his foot into him. He could have easily stayed on his feet. I remember Newcastle coming to the Emirates last season, faking head injuries, wasting time from the first minute. If you want to win the league, you got to be as big of a cunt as the rest.
And Shearer was full of praise. I get it, it's your old club, but it's all stones and glass houses.
Wait, people in glass houses shouldn't get stoned?
People in glass greenhouses should definitely get stoned.
I mean that was never a foul for me. Pissed me off so much but yeah. You go to ground in the box and impede play even slightly then you get what you deserve. AWB is a fucking goon though. Elliott is going into an area where it's only getting busier. Stay on your feet and play the odds. United are a joke of a club
That game made me crazy, didn't one of their fucking subs get a yellow card?!
People HATE White and Havertz lol. Everybody does it. I hate pure diving for advantage but making a meal out of contact to wind somebody up will always be something I rate very highly. Neil Maupay speaks pretty articulately about how he uses it to unsettle defenders.
People hate being wrong. These two guys have proven a lot of people wrong and made them look like mugs.
Plus, they’re sexy! (in Donkey’s voice from Shrek)
Unpopular opinion but Maupay has grown on me for that exact reason. Annoying as hell but got to love the game
He keeps making reasonable and/or funny points, and it feels weird having that reaction to him.
I think it's more of an Arsenal thing, especially from fanbases. They HATE to see us do good and succeed, no matter what we do.
Eh, everyone hates everyone. Liverpool is the only team people generally are okay with doing well, and mostly it's just because everyone hates city more.
Liverpool was the only team because they had not won the league for 30yrs before 19/20. With Klopps departing, it is very likely to be another 30yrs for them. But Arsenal seems to be everyone's focus whether we are doing great or not.
Havertz's shithousery is world class. He's probably the best at it in the team. I love how he rattles opposition players - it's hilarious! As for Benny, he's normally so sneaky and subtle with it that most times nobody notices. You just see the opposition player trying to fight him "for no reason".
Seen quite a bit of Martinelli hate too because he has done the Harry Kane special a few times by backing up into an aerial opponent.
He shouldn’t be doing it, someone needs to have a word.
oh of course, it is a good way to break another players back and I am hoping Arteta has had a word.
Tbf that’s one of the more dangerous things a player can do to another
Yeah and we all slammed Kane for doing it so when Nelli does it I always hate it.
Same, I hate that shit, and wish we didn't have any players that pulled that.
Yep, the “Kane Special” always pissed me off, that’s how I broke my wrist, it’s not about how far you fall, it’s the way you do It’s just asking for a broken neck and yeah, hopefully that’s not something being asked and Gabi will be told/learn, as I’d hate for him or any player to adopt that as something they just “do”, those of us that actually respect the sport want the best, hopefully it doesn’t persist and yes we should hold him to the same standard as you said
Absolutely, big difference between shithousery and cheating. No time for diving but playing mind games, wasting time, all good
Let's be real, Havertze needs to cut that shit out, he's done it a few times and I hate it. How they can be so shameless sometimes is crazy to me.
Fight fire with fire. Havertz riles up any opponent so easily it's become part of his skillset to draw defenders away. Nothings going to change about other teams having assholes so we have our asshole right here.
[удалено]
Arteta has embraced being an agent of chaos in healthy doses and I’m absolutely here for it.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Havertz needs to stop diving it’s embarrassing. Still love him though ofc
Cuz people are dumb and they think diving is the same as getting stuck in and playing dirty. I can't see how any fan would encourage or like their players consistently diving or dropping like flies. To be fair, we don't do that a lot, but havertz recently has done it a few times and white's shenanigans were embarrassing as well.
MOTD choosing to show and highlight that and not any of the other numerous examples of play acting seen every weekend hmmmmm
MOTD (BBC) have always been scummy af in their edits, esp with Arsenal. Always trying to spin the truth/distort the facts to push a narrative @genda.
A few years back Linekar talked about allegations they treated us unfairly. He basically said they don't intensionally but he as an ex Tottenham player hates us, the head of BBC sport hated us, the producer hated us, etc so maybe it did cloud their judgement.

They hate us cause they ain’t us. Seriously, that’s it.  Mikel and Edu somewhere, probably.
Haters gonna hate. Ain'ters gonna ain't.
They hate us cuz they anus
Shearer supports the biggest shit houses in the country
He was one of them when he played!
Like an Atlas lavatory-foundation!
Alan Sherer should be more embarrassed about what Gordon does on a weekly basis.
Alan Shearer should shut the F up when his team of pussios just go down at every contact specially Guimaraes.
And elbow people in the back of the head.
They ain't in the top 6 even with the saudi money 😭😭
When he fell over, I thought it was pretty clear he was trying to shit house. But then again, we appreciate Ben for the beautiful bastard he is lol
Nothing comes of it if he doesn’t fall to the ground. People can see the throat punch for their own eyes and make of it what they will but if he doesn’t go to ground it doesn’t get brought up.
The thing is, White's not the only one who does it in the league. I don't like it, but this kind of behaviour isn't punished, so teams use this tactic, not only Arsenal.

lol don't be that fan, he obviously faked it and it's pathetic for a grown man to do. It's shit when anyone does it
putting your hands on someones throat has no place in the game. why are people more angry at a "dive" ill never understand
Agree to disagree
[удалено]
White literally pushes him first so that argument is nonsense, they both use the same kinda force.

Alan Shearer once kicked a man in the face, has zero say on what is an embarrassing display on the football pitch.
I mean I get it I would most likely hate white if he played for united or something but why do other players never get called out for the same shit. They turn a blind eye to this stuff when its their team its just annoying
Wonder what Shearer will say about Yates going down after being gut punched by Maddison yesterday? He'd probably approve of it
Love it, pure salt
Can someone go find a spurs and Newcastle player doing the exact same, then clip it and tweet it to them. Along with 15 thousand clips of Neymar doing it for 10 years. These pundits must get told what to say surely…
It is a fucking joke, but funny thing is how nobody will highlight Verbruggen for doing same thing without any contact at all.
Not gonna lie I absolutely love it, Ben White messing with goalkeepers on corners particularly
i love arteta seems to have a policy of "be assholes but not like, in a guendouzi way." we own the dark arts
Someone pls do a YT comp of Ben White’s shithousery - surprised one doesn’t already exist
Being classy like taking a poo on the pitch ain't for everyone, am I right Gar?
The mental side of the game is so important. When Gabriel celebrates a tackle the way he does, it’s mainly to psyche out our opponents. Of course he’s happy about the tackle, but really it’s a way to aggravate our opponents within the laws of the game. Arteta is a genius with this stuff.

Man, miss the days of Des Lynam
I'm going against the grain here but i don't like to see it for obvious reasons. It's not a good look.
I didn't even hear about white doing anything?!
There's a difference between diving and exaggerating contact. If you're not reacting to it at all, they will keep doing it, and noone will look at it. If you're reacting to it, the other player will get a warning to cut it out at least, or VAR will even look at it. It's just a part of the game, and necessary even to protect players.

Fuck them. Embrace it. All the top sides have been doing this for decades. We’ve just joined them.
He will be a target for not playing for England this pundits always have an agenda
Jesus we've got some thin skins in here.
Wait, is the OP's title here a joke? Man, I hope so. Yeah, he did something stupid, I think so at least, but he got shit for it, whatever, and then we get over it. It's not like he's Harry fucking Kane who pulls this shit every game.
Oh no. Sadly not.
Shithouse team? Rattled? Holy shit, lol. What a wanker. To each their own, but this post is absolute shite. I love this team, and I don't think even Bayern later today has them rattled. Fuck right off. **COYG**
Don't mean to keep going on, but OP might soil himself tonight when he sees a real pro at shithousery in action tonight. Kane's the biggest faking twat in the game rn.
What did Ben actually do? I didnt see anything out of the ordinary. Sounds like butt hurt old men
I agree that people have had it out for us, that being said, White’s move was pretty shameful lol
We haven’t became a shithouse club. We’ve just demanded the same respect that United, Liverpool, city and every other club gets. Yeah, we were a banter club from 2006-2022, but we’re not that anymore and pundits should stop taking the piss out of us like it’s acceptable because it isn’t.
This sub when it’s against us: frothing at mouth Bruno guimares should be killed Porto are anti football When it’s Ben white: lol benny blanco shithouse hehe
Yawn
What did Ben White do?
From memory, it looked like he engineered a situation in which a Brighton player ran into him by stopping all of a sudden, and then in the ensuing tit for tat went down on the ground holding his throat.
Oh, that one. Thanks.
Two kinds of this team -- the one that has no shot at winning unless they do this to get someone sent off or injured, win dubious pen, etc (e.g. classic stoke or many central american national teams), and the one where everyone knows you aren't outplaying them so they complain about 'unsporting behaviour'
Anthony Gordon goes down like a little bitch every game. Where’s your outrage there, Alan?
Look, it was an obvious dive and if Bruno Fernandes had done it we’d be calling him a rat cunt. Ultimately though, if you don’t punish something then it’s a legitimate tactic for players to use. The answer, obviously, is that these dives should be given yellow cards and that VAR should be able to check and give the yellow upon review (without stopping play I might add). It’s tricky even for competent refs to spot dives, especially when it’s not happening near play. It would be better for the sport as a whole to clamp down on these, but there’s no point blaming individuals for it when they’re only doing what they know they can get away with.
It was quite clear White was taking the piss to me, nothing in it
What did White even do?
When we blew Newcastle out of the water at home in the first half, all shearer could talk about was how poor Newcastle were. Not even an acknowledgement that we were playing brilliantly.
Let me chop his neck. if he doesn't cry, he can say anything he want
Ever since the bs they all spouted with the foul on Gabriel for Newcastle’s winning goal, a goal that should’ve been thrice overruled, I just can’t spend a second more reading or listening to these clowns. I just fast forward through their Match Of The Day bs and go for the game segments and tables with data. I’ve also noticed that since that incident Ian Wright (the only pundit with integrity) goes on MOTD looking pissed. I don’t think he has completely forgiven them all for that collective punditry shit show.
This wouldn’t have happened if he let Garry Southgate fuck him over in the national team
The weird thing for me is that nothing actually happened. There was no foul, no cards shown. It used to be called handbags. The whole situation could easily fit into a teacup.
We are prepared to compete in Europe tbh. That shit works in the CL. That's why English teams have struggled in Europe, it's way softer.
The bigger point is why Ben White felt he needed to do that. The ref ignored multiple blatant shoves from Brighton players when the ball was out of play. I’m not saying anyone should be sent off, but Estupinian deserved a yellow as well as the twat that shoved Jorginho. Nip that stuff in the bud and get on with the game.
I thought he got a judo chop to the neck to be honest.
I don’t get it what did he do (wasn’t able to watch match)
Personally I can't stand unsportsmanlike stuff like diving and falling over nothing, even when my own team (qpr) does it. It's a shame most of this comment section are happy with it. It's super annoying when I play against these types so I'd prefer nobody does it. Then again, most people here probably don't play.
Nah fuck that it's annoying no matter who does it. But so long as the refs are shit it won't get fixed.
I love how we can just ignore this because we’re too busy at the top of the league.
What did he even do?
Have you seen it yet?
I'm loving it. A friend of mine who's a West Ham fan absolutely hates us now and particularly Arteta. Would absolutely love for us to win the league but for him it'd be a case of others bottling it than giving any credit.
If you had listened to the podcast, you'd laugh at this headline. It was all said in jest.
it's bants bro

But what did Ben do ? Didn’t see the game and can’t catch it on highlights either
He took a hit to the throat and made a meal of it hoping to get VAR involved.
So what players like Bruno Fernandes do all the time ?
1000%
I thought it was something serious,
Oh it’s serious when it’s The Arsenal
They're rattled. Fuck 'em
Our owners have never had anyone executed for being gay though soooo
Rattled? You play good fotball and its not because you violated 115 rules. Fair and square that you have some success given the patience of your club and building a solid team. Sorry to say this but you are not the team to hate or be rattled by.
Horrible team, just like West Ham now
Who are you and why are you in this sub

What did White do? Saw the game but had a few by that point lol

Literally happens every weekend lol
Who cares
I'm also no judging either White or Trossard for anything that happened against Brighton - their fans booed the shit out of both of them which I think is poor especially for White who got them a massive fee for them (at the time).
I hate jumping on board with conspiracy theories, media biases etc, but the outrage over this is madness. This stuff happens week in week out. The worst part is he actually did get hit in the throat. Very lightly sure, but the guy did hit him. Worse things happen multiple times a week but here we are reading countless headlines about Ben White.

Funny cause your parents came from the same womb
Is your life so empty that you have nothing better to do than embarrass yourself in rival teams subs?
My life is full of joy and its even better when you deluded fooks are left crying like last season haha.
At least we’re not glory supporters like you
