    I have no issue with Ramsdale forcing his way out if he wants to. He’s been treated horribly by the coaching staff and half the fans here while being an honest professional the whole way. I love Mikel but I think it’s an absolute disgrace how Arteta’s treated him this year.

    Best of luck to him, and good luck to us with Raya and whoever comes in to be our second-string GK.

    All these midfield links are absolutely an admission that the Havertz LCM experiment has failed.

    This is the genesis of the Havertz CF era, which is great news.

    Regarding the ramsdale article on the front page of r/soccer. If you read the actual article you will see that ramsdale’s dad is being very supportive of the situation, INCLUDING David Raya and decision, while stating that it is still obviously hard for Ramsdale to not play. Can’t see anything wrong with that.

    Stop eating up the sensationalist re-produced headlines of football london when the Journalist is literally just pasting a couple of quotes from different podcasts and interviews together to form a headline. ESPECIALLY when they didn’t do any of the interviews or podcast themselves.

    In a shocking twist, Chelsea’s criminal owner Abramovich may have made some payments under the table to associates of Conte and agents of Hazard, Eto’o and Willian to circumvent FFP rules.

    Would hope that their fans calling for points deductions for City to keep singing the same tune for themselves.

    If we’re being honest, would Ramsdale have saved most, if not any of the goals that Raya got shat on for?

    This is football fantasy, but is Osimhen realistic at all for next summer?

    Hasn’t renewed his contract, City don’t need him, Bayern don’t, PSG don’t as they got Kolo and Ramos this summer, Madrid and Barca won’t mind but don’t know about the finances or the interest there, that leaves Chelsea and us in the list of potential clubs that would be interested and somewhat afford him.

    Is this a game-changing signing we might miss out on to Chelsea or there can be potential interest there if the injury woes with Jesus continue?

    Why is it taking them so long with the audio? It feels like a waste of time and seems pointless now. It’s only going to serve to make people more angry about it.

      To strengthen and double down on their position. Leaving it 2 weeks has meant that tempers have died down. It’s why they minimised the push review with minimal video replay to gaslight us into accepting the decision

    We should definitely be able to challenge decisions in game, I wouldn’t mind if it cost an extra minute. Like F1, PGMOL have set a precedent now for that not being classed as a foul so if we score something similar in the future and they rule it out, we should be able to challenge in game.
