Yep, true.

I was getting at the fact he's chosen to lie to the club, which by itself is something that would be likely to piss them off. It puts an extra level into the amount of dislike they'll have over the whole thing.

So, this weekend - a top-4 face off.

Arsenal need to beat Leicester else they'll be getting left behind.

And Arsenal need City to beat Spurs too, to put a bit of daylight between them.

(and I'm prolly seeing none of it, as i'm busy this w/e )

2 draws!

 

i think spurs will win again. and aresenal will squeak a win, esp at home

[DomDom1984]

I think Leicester beat Arsenal this time. Their defence was pretty poor when Arsenal trounced them. They're a bit better at the back these days.

Agree on the draw for the other game too. 4 wins on the bounce for Spurs though. If I was picking a winner, it'd be them.

grim reading at the johnson trial

Grim stuff alright. So far its looking a whole lot worse than meeting someone in a club and thinking they may be 18. Pretty dark shit TBH

Yup. Not what was suggested in early newspaper speculation.

I wonder if his England career is over?

Fucking hell there's some seriously ropey behaviour exposed in those tweets.

"She had an enormous crush on him. He was her absolute hero. She idolised him," prosecutor says of Adam Johnson girl, 15

In being a Sunderland fan that bad that you have to idolise Adam Johnson?

Seriously though will be interesting to see if he's just another dirtbag footballer who doesn't see anything wrong with flirting with a young fan just under the age of consent while his pregnant missus is at home or whether this is just a glimpse of a seriously darker side.

He's admitted to kissing and encouraging the relationship with a view to more (which I guess is grooming in a nutshell). Until more comes out you need to be very careful throwing words like 'paedo' and 'nonce' about. Even if he is guilty he's still a million miles away from fuckers like Ian Watkins. It doesn't make it right, and he's clearly a shitbag, but there's a massive difference between doing it because she's 15 or doing it in spite of the fact she's 15 (although ultimately not in the eyes of the law).

Hoping to grab a ticket tonight to see Carpi v Roma (in Modena). Not sure if Totti still starts but here's hoping.

nah i dont agree with that. hes a 28 year old man who's wife just had a baby. he kissed a 15 year old and very much seemed to be up for more. wether he succeeded or not is just the difference between him being a 'nonce' or a failed 'nonce'. wether he likes only 15 years old or just this one doesnt change that

 

anyway, i would argue that someone kissing a 15 year old is a 'paedo' or 'nonce'. its all relative, but still

Totti and De Rossi are both injured unfortunately. 

[DomDom1984]

Not sure if this joke has cropped up in here, but I seen this tidbit on Twitter.

"Adidas have dropped Adam Johnson which is a shame. Could have been a good market for their predator boots."

Made me laugh at least.

Absolute corker of a goal by Dignes the Roma left back. Had to feel sorry for Carpi mind they nearly held out, though Roma deserved the 3 points. 

Low on quality but the weather was crap and conditions for good football poor - entertaining nonetheless. 

El Shaarawy looks a shadow of his former self - what's happened there?

Agreed. If he had admitted guilt instantly he would have been sacked on the spot, he would also have lost out on a lot of money!

[gary1979666]

Happy with taking 3 points from man u!

[thetime]

Another shocker

[LondonTom]

All in all I am happy with point gained in the last 20 minutes, regardless of the previous 70 =p

ace game. well done arsenal, keeping it interesting at the top

[DomDom1984]

Sickening end to the game. Leicester defender threw that away with the needless elbow, which was just outright stupidity.
