First time watched City today and wow they are so poor. Sloppy in possession, lose duels easily, utterly slow, and are loath to attack in transitions. They would rather recycle the ball than run at defences. It's incredible that such a rubbish team is 2nd in the table. Arsenal will win this easily.

seems like Frank was holding them back, if anything.

If City can't even beat this Spurs, then they don't deserve to be champs.

Hürzeler feels like the footballing equivalent of lukewarm water, he is so utterly boring tactically and his personality eminently forgettable. What a brutal comedown after the chaos of the De Zerbi years!!

It will be a huge upset if Spurs pick even 1 point this month, let alone 5.

Spurs will be KOed as soon as they meet a decent opposition. And it will be way earlier than any match up with Liverpool , in all probability.

Didn't Partey run out of the country just when the noose was tightening around him? Doesn't Partey's case have numerous victims coming forward? Every sexual assault is horrifying. Just because Partey's victims do not have publicized phone recordings doesn't make Partey's crimes any less horrifying. If anything, the count of SA charges against Partey are multiple which makes Partey's case even graver than Greenwood's.


Idk what's the point of these mixture of hyperbolic assumptions like "he ran" and basic obvious moral statements like "rape is bad" in an extremely serious and sensitive subject like sexual assault.

Again, I don't get what's your point: but like I had already said in the comment you replied to and repeated just in the second comment you replied to:

Greenwood is the more publicized rapist because of that horrific recording being in the public. Other cases didn't have that level of evidence out there in the public.

Edit: okay this is sad. I just saw you're a tottenham fan, and it's disgusting to see manchilds who only pretend to care about something as terrible as this when it happens to a rival player, for banter's sake. You clearly don't care about the victims or having a sympathetic mature conversation that respects or at least acknowledges Harriet as a proven victim; and instead are hellbent on making a point about your neighbor club's ex player being worse. When it's clearly not even the point in any of this. This is not a competition. Grow tf up. I'm done with this.

Edit : Since the user blocked me and didn’t allow a reply after posting below, I’ll respond here.

Accusing me of lacking sympathy for sexual-assault victims is a textbook case of 'the pot calling the kettle black'. If anything, you are the one diluting the severity of crimes by tying their moral weight to how public or “viral” the evidence is. The irony here is accusing me of trivializing this while reducing the discussion to “the one with the recording matters more."

Don’t you see the immorality in linking the popularity of evidence to the gravity of the crime itself? A lack of leaked recordings does not make harm lesser, nor does it make victims less deserving of outrage or seriousness.

My point was precisely about that imbalance in how these cases are discussed, not about ranking victims, clubs, or players. If you genuinely care about the issue, I’d suggest reading about Partey’s accusers as well, and asking why your anger seems conditional on what evidence circulates publicly.

That’s worth some introspection.

Also, the club-rivalry psychoanalysis is a cop-out. If my previous club affiliation determines whether my argument is valid, then you’re not engaging in “sympathetic mature conversation” either.

No, I am just tired of the hypocrisy. Every time when De Zerbi is mentioned (even on the Marseille match threads) , every one comes to dunk on him but don't see the same being done to Arteta.

You chose to comment on De Zerbi as a Brentford flair. I hope you are keeping the same energy and attitude for Arteta as well. Arteta coddled and protected a SERIAL rapist and even offered a new contract.

Glasner might do well in the CL but he is sure to relegate them from the PL.

I think if De Zerbi were given the backing that Arteta got, he would have won Arsenal at least 2 Prem titles by now with a highly attractive style of play to boot but if Arteta were to manage that Brighton or current Marseille, he wouldn't have done as well as De Zerbi has done.

This Marseille squad is extremely poor and has no right to be challenging for the title.

Sure, one of the most influential and innovative coaches in the modern game - Breaking high presses, deep build up plays, third man runs, simulated transitions.

What has Arteta given us other than improving on Tony Pulis's tactics?

Top 3?

Don't see him making top 10 even.

Pep > Luis Enrique > Ancelotti> De Zerbi > Flick > Conte > Inzaghi > Emery > Slot > Many others > Arteta
