was just about to post the same thing. He better hope it is and that it can be proved. But doesn’t look AI generated to me.

Not a good look for him (or top flight referees in general) if it’s legitimate.

Can't put my finger on why it doesn't just feel right.
He'd be a complete moron to ever say that on camera.
 
If you can't stay fit, it doesn't matter how good you are. It's pretty central to what is required. I hope he gets to prove this, no one at his age should be continually injured.

That's football now days tho , knocks cant be as easily played through as it's a more athletic sport and things show up on scans
 
I'm guessing that the players themselves had a big say in that. They were not getting a game, just used as back up, and they wanted to play. They are all 24-25, not kids any longer. The accusation against Arteta could be that he simply didn't play them enough to persuade them to stay. That is fair. Maybe he just didn't rate them enough either.

There is no doubt that players were being wasted just sat there because Arteta wouldn’t or couldn’t trust them when they were clearly good enough and imo it’s that lack of trust that holds Arsenal back


And in a completely different subject - a video of David Coote has come out - not great

Bazz put a link up above. Not a good look at all.

Wonder if Anthony Taylor has made one about Forest? 🧐😂

As someone said in the comments he is English so grew up in a tribal football country , he will have supported someone so surely will have bias towards some teams

It's natural to dislike some teams and if a manager is out of order to them sure they will have an opinion

Why is this being leaked is the issue

I get all that but he's reffed Liverpool games, you can't have a genuine hatred for a club and manager and still be impartial.

Even more so when he has made some very high profile errors in those games and also games that affected the club


Pickford on VVD
Odegarrd Handball
The Rodri handball


To name just a few

And it would explain his actions at the weekend




only way he gets away with this is if it’s a fake

Exactly this. The larger issue is that, if there are other referees with these types of opinions of other teams, then they can’t be appointed as it could affect the way they do their job (whether consciously or subconsciously).
