This is utterly shameful of Arsenal football club
They could have said nothing
To publicly distance themselves from Özil comments is literally saying commercial concerns are more important than the appalling actions of the Chinese Government
And saying that is BEING political
“Apolitical” Arsenal distance themselves from from Mesut Ozil’s social media post on the treatment of Uighur Muslims in China.

So Bielsa hasn’t done anything illegal, hasn’t broken any rules, and has simply rewarded his employer by going to extraordinary lengths and depths of effort to achieve success without relying on the usual resort of asking for a big pot of money
That’s a great manager in my eyes

This wasn't what VAR was brought in to do. Nor was it brought in to disallow penalties because of minor encroachment
It was supposed to eradicate significant injustice not turn the sport into a turgid computer game

Nothing wrong with VAR it’s just exposed the fact that even with time to make them most of our referees aren’t good enough to make the right, sensible decisions
Been given the benefit of the doubt in past because of speed of the game and split seconds to make calls but not now

Robertson in the linesman's face, god knows what abuse he was giving him.
Linesmen take so much abuse from the players game-in game-out I'm amazed one of them hasn't cracked before. Utterly forgivable.

Seriously?
We are going to play three teams that will sit deep on the edge of their box for 90 mins. And you’d rather play an out of form, counter-attack striker than our most unpredictable, in-form talent, who makes magic happen in tight spaces. That makes no sense.
