Panenka

arsenal fans

Pirlo was applauded for his against Hart in 2012 so you may have a point?

I don't think anyone has been criticised for scoring a Panenka before or after Cazorla. It is usually applauded, as it was yesterday, for the skill and nerve it takes to do it.

People like that hairy bloke who would smash that female lino just hate Arsenal.

I genuinely didn't remember the incident or headlines so looked it up.

Basically the headlines are Carlo Cudicini and Richard Keys criticising Cazorla. You should wear any Richard Keys criticism as a badge of honour ffs. He's an awful person.

I’ve met Keys at the City ground and he is a monumental pr!ck who talks to his staff like sh!t.

I actually do think there has been some double standards with regards to how Arsenal are viewed in the media.

Arsene used to rage at boring defensive football, the Stoke city style and the dark arts, even though Arsenal were famous for that before he arrived. The media said there is more than one way of playing, Arsenal are soft and keep trying to walk it into the back of the net.

Now Arsenal are back playing George Graham style football, the media moan about how boring they are, the dark arts and the set piece routines.

Can’t win sometimes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Arsenal fans love to moan about media bias, but the reality is they’ve been hypocritical for years. They spent decades mocking teams that relied on set-pieces, calling it boring and physical. Now, they're using the same tactics and acting like it's a masterstroke. You can't just switch your approach and expect no criticism after spending years belittling others for doing the same. The media and rival fans are just calling Arsenal fans out on the hypocrisy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.

They used to play awful football and win things and got the moniker boring boring Arsenal. They play great football and win things but not as much as they should and get accused of walking the ball into the net and not being physically up to it. Now they go back to boring boring Arsenal and the insults pivot again.

We got labelled Spurs for the CL final - even though getting to the final was the least Spurs thing you will ever see. It’s all nonsense and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Like City’s ground being called the Emptyhad, factually it’s not true, some fans do turn up, it’s not actually empty

Old Toilet isn’t actually a toilet. Sure it looks and smells like a toilet, but it’s not actually a toilet.

I could go on…..

Still remember the Eduardo penalty incident v Celtic. It was like a professional player had never dived before.

The fall out was insane

Our fans still bang on about a throw in that wasn’t from 40 years ago

The amount of abuse received by Bukayo Saka after missing a penalty in the Euro 2020 final was significantly greater than that received by Harry Kane after his miss in the 2022 World Cup final. This difference can be attributed to several factors:

Race: Saka is Black, while Kane is white. Studies have shown that Black footballers are disproportionately targeted with racist abuse online. This suggests that racism played a significant role in the heightened abuse directed at Saka.  

Age: Saka was 19 at the time of the Euro 2020 final, while Kane was 29 during the World Cup final. Younger players may be seen as more vulnerable targets, and the abuse directed at Saka may have been exacerbated by his young age.  

Platform: The Euro 2020 final was played before the implementation of stricter online hate speech regulations, which may have contributed to the greater volume of abuse directed at Saka.

Social media algorithms: Research suggests that social media algorithms may amplify hate speech, potentially contributing to the greater visibility of the abuse directed at Saka.  

It is important to note that both Saka and Kane received some level of abuse after their respective penalty misses.

However, the evidence suggests that the abuse directed at Saka was significantly greater in both volume and severity. This highlights the ongoing problem of racism in football and the need for stronger measures to protect players from online abuse.

AI saying it was the world cup final but it wasn't. It wasn't me who wrote it. I just asked AI. Also did not expect it to give me an actual answer. Usually stays out of this kind of thing but it must feel passionate about this topic. Is AI black?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I knew it was AI from the first few sentences

It also failed to mention one of the biggest factors, that Saka is an Arsenal player. The polar opposite of being a Spurs player when it comes to media treatment.
