Partey charged with rape. So gross that Arsenal let him play in for so long, I assumed as the noise had died down that there was nothing in it, but they must have known.

There will be multiple people at the club including Arteta who knew what was going on and still continued to let him play. They forgot that wearing the shirt for any club isn’t just about the talent you show on the pitch it’s about representing the club and it’s values. Absolutely disgusting.

Yep second hand embarrassment, a club who amounts all the bluster of pundits has a reputation of standards and values.

That timing can’t just be coincidental with his contract expiring surely :rofl:

Worst of all they were trying to extend it!

How was he still playing? Mendy was completely written off at Citeh whilst still pending investigation. Fucking scumbag - no smoke without fire

Think Mendy was charged far sooner, I guess technically they can’t do a lot regarding suspension until he’s charged, I may be wrong tho.

It’s been an open secret it was Partey since the rumour came out in the news that a PL player was under investigation for SA and then he was mysteriously left out of the Arse squad travelling away for a European game - On bail? Passport confiscated?

Problem is, as shown by the Mendy situation, if Arsenal had dumped him and he’s eventually found not guilty in the court, the player can take the club to the cleaners for lost wages and damages.

It’s purely allegations at this point.

Innocent until proven guilty. That’s the legal system we live under.

Whats the crack with Sigurdsson?

Was he a nonce in the end?

No idea mate. Never met him.

Edit: I’m being flippant about a really serious incident - my apologies.

Not overly familiar with his situation, but had a dig. He was arrested under suspicion of Child S Offences, but the charges were dropped. Never formally charged or went to court.

Probably a case of not enough evidence to charge, or no realistic chance of a prosecution. He’s been back playing football in the lower leagues of Scandinavia.

He’s no Adam Johnson it would seem…

Just read Liverpool are going to pay Jota’s family his wages for the remainder of his contract. Ā£140k/week til June 2027. Fair play.

Classy club :heart:

Was listening to football cliches today and they were talking about how good the women’s euros group stage looks as a 16 team tournament. Just had a look and have to agree. If this were the men’s it would be incredible. Sadly we’re probably stuck at 24 and will only add more. Insane that the world cup will have 48 teams.

With all the travel bans into America that Trump is placing on countries, they’ll only be 10 competing by the time the WC kicks off in the USA.

Some interesting context regarding the Partey case, again, doesn’t cast Arsenal in a great light.

PSG are 2 up in under 10 mins, this is going to be bad for Real or a great come back!

Nice. Always like to see Madrid get their pants taken down.

See that Trent didn’t fancy it. Sensible.

PSG Chels final might actually be interesting.

50+ mil for Madueke is silly money
