The Arsenal captain 2019/20

[TeeCee]

It's being reported that the players still want him as captain. Big test for Dick, does he show he's completely weak willed and ruled by the players, or do what is right and strip him of the captaincy and show who's boss? I know what I think he'll do. Dick by name........

[The Arsenal Way]

Captain Fantastic will be ok. He's being offered counselling.

Emery’s “ideal” is to see Xhaka back playing and the fans supporting him
but he doesn’t know if he can achieve this “very upset” “devastated” “very sad”
I’ve never heard such mollycoddling shite in all my life!
It’s like something I’d expect to hear coming from woman’s football! Is he fucking menopausal or on his fucking moons?
The both of them should just fuck off! because they are making us a fucking laughing stock!

If the stories are true about the players still wanting him to be capitan then we the fans have to let it be known that it's not acceptable.

I understand that some people think it's wrong to boo our players but if the *word censored* gets away with his behaviour then you might as well pack AFC up and let it join the circus.

I suggested on another thread yesterday that the players are causing problems behind the scenes and I got challenged to provide proof and one fool did his usual sarky comment To me it is obvious that there are players behind the scenes who believe that they can do and say what they want cos they are the real kings - sadly I cannot provide any proof that I can bring to the high courts so I will leave it there

This is absolutely pathetic and sums up the lettuce-leaf culture at our club. The cúnt wants counselling because he told the fans to fuck off? Fuck off yourself, you mug. I'll write to the club and ask them to pay for my counselling because I was deeply upset by the captain of the club telling me to fuck off. Three days on and not a fucking word from the twat himself to apologise. I don't even know what to say any more about this club, some of these players and the fucking idiot in charge.

[clummo123]

The fella is going to get abuse wherever he goes, home and away. Pretty sure other club's fans are knocking up witty songs for him as we speak. We would be doing the same for a Spuds player etc.

He's going to need a lot of counselling if he's that flakey.

Lettuce-leaf culture indeed Perry

Xhaka is as thick a player as I have ever seen! He foolishly tells the media we were scared at Watford after losing a 2-0 lead. A week later he goes flying in recklessly on a scum player who needs no encouragement to go down in the area. Anyone feeling any sympathy for Xhaka just remember the sheer stupidity of that challenge! Less than a week after being subbed for being crap up at Sheffield and walking off slowly even though we were losing ... he again slowly walks off the pitch after being subbed in a game where he captained the team to losing another 2-0 lead. And he was partly at fault for the equaliser too.

Tony Adams had the scum-infested English media on his case at age 21 ... originally for the crime of being out-skilled by Van Basten, one of the greatest players of the 80s. He then had a campaign of being taunted with donkey chants and had carrots being thrown at him. How did he respond? By lifting the 1st division title at Anfield Now THAT is a fucking captain!

I have never known anything like this. "Boohoo my fans don't like me anymore"
When is he going to apologise for his behaviour the other day !!!

Post of the week right there mate. Superb stuff.

Excellent news......keep digging son, keep digging.

This and no apology - what a bas.tard

Not sure how he can come back from this.....what a shame.

Best thing now is if the team can improve their performance without this oaf being the opposition’s twelfth man. It would make it even harder for Dick to reinstate his favourite boy.

Xhaka was certainly Wolves 12th man last season Retro. They will be gutted if he doesn’t feature against them (or should we say for them) this Saturday

And if Xhaka is dropped and subsequently leaves ... then it shows that booing can pay off sometimes. It’s not nice, just as protesting against a once successful and once popular manager wasn’t nice ... but it becomes necessary when the people responsible for continuously selecting or employing them when they’re not performing, do not do their jobs properly!

Apologies if this has been covered before or elsewhere but this is a stat and a half from SSN

Since 2016/17 our win rate in all competitions when Xhaka starts is 55% and when he doesn't start is 65%

We scored more goal and conceded fewer when he wasn't playing.

It gets better

Since Dick arrived those figures are 52% with Captain Fantastic and 77% without him.

Again more goals scored and fewer conceded when he's out.

Anyone want to argue with those figures

Counselling FFS!!
He needs counselling because he's a fucking idiot not any other reason. Fuck off in January and take Ozil with you!

Hes way too weak, brought all this on himself, the Ozil issue drags on as well...hes unable to make a decision...the 5 captains then letting players decide who is Captain.....sending out all the wrong messages
