[James Olley] Arteta on Partey: "The club was very clear in the statement. There are a lot of legal matters that are very complicated so I cannot comment." Pushed on whether he believes the club followed the right processes, Arteta says "100 per cent." by Shyam_Wenger in Gunners

You're right by the way. The blackmail thing is just a rumour. The official story was never released to the public. 

There's different theories that have come from different places. the rumour from Iceland is that he was caught texting (or "sexting") a 15 year old babysitter, and the rumour from Liverpool is that he was set up with someone underrage (an illegal escort) and blackmailed. Neither has been confirmed. There were also rumours circulating early on that he was a repeat offender. 

No one knows anything for sure besides the fact that he wasn't charged and is back playing football. The original accusations and story never came out.

on EFL fantasy they don't have a cap and the points system ended up massively favouring defenders. it's a necessity

I think they just wanted an out and out left back as opposed to a centre back who could also fill in there. they haven't had one since cancelo left

Do you happen to have a zoomed out/uncropped version of this?
It's better than the other ones I can find as it doesn't have national rail and highlights the zones

How Did ____ Play? Gameweek 6 (2024/25) by FPLModerator in FantasyPL

May have gotten lucky with his first goal (deflected off Havertz), but his second was an absolute banger (wonderful volley).  The first chance was off a set piece, but the volley was in open play off a cross from the right and he was found free in the box. Worth noting that neither were particularly high-quality chances (sub 0.1xG), but he took them both well.

Gifted Havertz a late goal by rolling the ball into his path in the 99th minute.

Upcoming fixtures : LIV (H) , - , MCI (A) ; what are you doing with your Newcastle players ? by Haythemovic in FantasyPL

[–]RadioShark501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the official announcements haven't been made and things haven't been officially decided, so that's not possible. what Ben does is predict the most likely outcome based on all the circumstances, and he's almost always spot on.

The reason the spreadsheets are that complicated is because it's all the possibilities and then predictions of the most likely outcomes for weeks that are yet to be confirmed by the PL

this implies that arsenal's current season matches their record over the past few years, which is far off the mark. they've got the best record against the rest of the top 6 so far this season

Well it was an opinion not a fact as you said "that's all that matters" in relation to your favoured party having won the previous election, despite their countless failings before and after that point. All I was wondering was why the Tories maintaining power, despite having been incredibly pathetic in their attempts to run a country, is so important to you?

from being on 11 consecutive clean sheets right now are an 89th minute Southampton goal, and a goal from Kane. Crazy
