Maybe instead did focusing on who did the rape we can search for the other footballer who was there in the room, that might be easier

That could be another 1-5 people in the London area. That just makes narrowing everyone down harder, dude.

Why else would they be in Barnet though?

Maybe it was another footballer's house and there was a sex tape needing filmed.

I have no idea why anyone would ever be in Barnet tbf.

tbf I don’t think any clubs do anything until an arrest has been made. Ronald has had rape allegations hanging over his head for like a decade.

ALL ABOARD THE SCOTLAND HYPE TRAIN!

A lot of clubs do. There were some "credible but unsubstantiated" rumours about a Liverpool player a couple of years back that sounds like it got settled, and the athletic got a whole article out of listing the clubs with a suspected assualter.

Probably didn't help that a lot of opponents had "see how many ankles/knees we can break" as the go-to tactic against Arsenal. You could probably make a decent XI out of Arsenal players who were on the receiving edge of horrific tackles that went unpunished or were considered "minor" infractions.

Yes the giant conspiracy to injure all of Arsenal's players that included dozens of other clubs and the FA is what denied Wenger his rightful recognition as the greatest manager ever.

I think it had more to do with rigorous training, thrusting kids into professional matches before they were physically ready, and depending on them to play constantly

They all picked up small injuries early and had to play through them, then it was just a string of injuries after that. Maybe starting 18 year old jack wilshere against a midfield of cloggers every week wasn't a good idea regardless of any tactic to be more physical against Arsenal

actually I believe that the team that won the league was the one that took a licking

but I for one am entirely here for claiming that we're going to win the league powered by a makelele or a charlie savage, as something to do

What do we think about Sterling being a good fit at Chelsea? As a neutral I really liked him at Liverpool when he used to do mazy runs, but he was boring/frustrating to watch under Pep, even when putting up decent numbers.

Tuchel won the CL with an interchangeable gang of fast dribbly people doing cool stuff two years ago, Sterling is a hell of a fast dribbly person to add.

My fervent hope is that Everton are actually relegated this year with a full season under Lampard to watch the English press contort themselves trying to blame it on anyone but Fat Frank.
