As long as it’s Neal Maupay the rules are being applied to, prison is only fair imo.

It’s from the Daily Mail, that should be enough for you to ignore and move on.
The women’s team put out a statement a few days ago addressing this and saying they are going to be investing in the youth teams and ensuring players from a wider range of backgrounds are included.
At the end of the day the women’s game is noticeably very white. Compare the team pic with the men’s team, or the fans at the game. Or even walk around Islington for 10 minutes and you’ll notice.
Now obviously the Daily Heil is going to interpret this as “Arsenal are kicking out white players for the sake of inclusion”. This isn’t really the case, but anything to reinforce their readers that straight white people are the real victims.
For some reason Poland has seemed to generate a disproportionate number of quality keepers for a number of years now. Especially when you compare it to some of the crap you see in other positions in the national team 😂
“Arsenal statement: “We acknowledge our current women’s first-team squad does not reflect the diversity that exists across the club and the communities we represent. Increasing participation among young women and girls from diverse backgrounds is a key priority for us””
Context for all the people just coming here to comment without reading the article.
It’s a good initiative, and making football accessible to all is something we should all be supportive of. COYG ❤️
People saying “What” in the comments clearly haven’t read the article and jumping to conclusions.
It’s not hard to see the glaring differences between women’s and men’s football in the UK. While a lot of Premier League stars are from working class backgrounds, most WSL players are from middle class families instead.
Supporting grassroots, accessible women’s football is only going to help in giving young girls opportunities in life, and spots talent which would never get the chance otherwise.
Good on them for recognising this tbh.
He just doesn’t fit the system. More of a “classic” fullback who makes an overlapping run and crosses it, which we don’t really play with.
Don’t think there’s more to it than that tbh
