Sports Morning.
Extra to the day outdated to this’s yarn linking us to Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, Andrew Allen did a cursory take a look at of his injury file. Some hours later, when he had got through all of it, he sent it on to me.
It’s with out a doubt practically spectacular in a methodology, take a look. The sheer fluctuate and number of issues he has injured down the years is search for-catching. What became that kids tune ‘Heads, shoulders, knees and toes’?! That’s his theme tune. With every other bits thrown in.
.🎶‘And wrists and spleen and calves and tonsils and valuable organs and …’.🎶
I’ve said sooner than I feel section of the motive players develop into rather peripheral below Mikel Arteta is associated to their injury complications. I don’t know if it’s a case that he’s much less engaging to make expend of them lest they develop into valuable and then their absence is extra acute, or if it’s a trust thing or he simply views them as historic, but there is one thing to it in most conditions.
The object just a few second more than just a few goalkeeper is that you just wish them to be authentic, and on the premise of this lad’s injury file, he’s one thing but. Furthermore, my brain has already done a thing the build every time I search for his establish, I in an instant recall to mind ‘Deuce Bigalow’ and provided that is one in every of the worst films ever starring the performing equivalent of Maroon5, but noteworthy worse, my advice to Arsenal is that we glean somebody else. Thanks.
There isn’t noteworthy else happening from an Arsenal standpoint, but the monumental yarn from the day outdated to this became the FA charging West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta with ‘position-fixing’. The associated fee says:
The participant has been charged with four breaches of FA Rule E5.1 on the subject of his behavior in the club’s Premier League fixtures against Leicester City on 12 November 2022; Aston Villa on 12 March 2023; Leeds United on 21 Could also 2023; and AFC Bournemouth on 12 August 2023.
It’s alleged that he straight sought to persuade the progress, behavior, or any other ingredient of, or incidence in these fits by intentionally making an try to search out to obtain a card from the referee for the unpleasant scheme of affecting the making a wager market in relate for one or extra persons to earnings from making a wager.
On the total, they’re announcing he deliberately got booked in a more than just a few of video games to earnings individuals who had wager on such an eventuality.
Rob a look:
Tried to search out all the Paqueta yellows mentioned in the FA fee, realized two to this point.

Whether it became the participant himself, individuals finish to him, or other third parties, stays to be viewed – but these are very, very serious charges. Rather constructive from those Ivan Toney became banned for, because of he never wager on video games by which he became having fun with. The functionality ban for Paqueta if the costs are upheld is seemingly to be as much as a existence-time ban, and you have to state the seriousness of which means that there’s some gorgeous damning proof to yelp such charges in the principle position.
Paqueta denies the costs. He became, of path, linked with a switch to Man City final summer season, and he’s doubtlessly paunchy of regret today time that the switch didn’t fight through. Given City’s potential to kick the can down the road in phrases of charges of wrongdoing, he’d bear been retired an extraordinarily lengthy time by the point they ever reached any roughly conclusion. Doubtlessly with a load of medals and suitcase paunchy of asterisks, but he, love every person else there, wouldn’t give a fish’s tit about any of that.
Okay, for some additional studying this morning, Tim’s new column is set attacking chance, an enticing thing to bear in thoughts given what number of dreams we scored final season. Have a read.
For now, bear a correct one. We’ll be posting the audio/video of our live tournament as a podcast/YouTube thing rather later today time, so address an search for out for that.
