I’m trying to piece together what happened at Sunderland tonight but it’s a bit confusing. Apparently a strip club DJ led a group of supporters to break into the club’s academy facilities to try and break the Defoe transfer before the club announced it?

Neco Williams off on loan to Fulham and Nat Phillips to Bournemouth to duke it out for promotion. Sure hope the Reds don't run into another defender injury crisis.

Aubameyang's gonna bang them in for Barca because it was Arteta, and not Aubameyang, who was bad.

He probably will and good for him but isn't this similar to what happened at Dortmund. Was great for a few years then fell into a bit of a stink and came to Arsenal where he did well with a new environment.

Shut up DUMMY
All his goals for Arsenal if anyone cares. https://youtu.be/lmuNBM-nJ90

At the end of the day it's good he has left Arsenal but one can't minimize how great he was for the majority of his time with Arsenal. I assume he will do pretty well at Barcelona and good luck to him. It's still good business from Arsenal for sure, top 4 or not, he wasn't the future and has been in very poor form for over a year.

gently caress knows. Apparently the board had been warned that buying him would invoke this kind of anger and they've gone ahead anyway. Don't know what their plans are for the women's team given that they might not have the numbers to field one by the end of the day.

I have some mild interest in him because he was a fifa manager mode all star for a couple years running, and I looked him up and it seems as though he’s been playing in the Scottish league one and two for the past five or so years so yes it seems completely inexplicable unless Raith Rovers are actually pro rape.

I feel like he always performed for them but there were definitely disciplinary issues because they just kicked him out. Not sure of that at all though.

The thing is, they must not actually be broke, because they made offers to spend big money on players like Vlahovic and Kulusevski. The players just didn’t want to go to Arsenal.

I think Arsenal's management in general hasn't quite realised that at this point, especially for younger footballers, they're just not one of the most attractive destinations anymore. The under 18s weren't born last time they won a domestic title.

So they're going after people who expect a shot at winning the CL and those people just aren't going to be interested in finishing 8th in a domestic league.

The Raith board, having set the club back about 15 years, losing every bit of community support, the women's team, the TV channel, even the guy who does the half time raffle...

...have had second thoughts.

https://www.raithrovers.net/52477/chairman-update-david-goodwillie.htm

quote:

I firstly want to apologise wholeheartedly to our fans, sponsors, players and the wider Raith Rovers community for the anguish and anger caused over the past few days.

We got it wrong.

In reaching our original decision, we focused far too much on football matters and not enough on what this decision would mean for our club and the community as a whole.

Over the past couple of days, we listened carefully to the fans who have got in touch and I’m very grateful for their honesty. As chairman, as a board and as a management team, we have all learned a hard but valuable lesson.

This very unfortunate episode is something that we all bitterly regret and we are now wholly committed to making things right. I can therefore confirm that, following a meeting of the Raith Rovers board, the player will not be selected by Raith Rovers and we will enter into discussions with the player regarding his contractual position.

We share a desire to do what is best for our club and will be doing everything in our power to regain the trust and confidence of the Raith Rovers family.

Chairman
On Behalf of the Board of Raith Rovers FC
