We are told that all of this was initiated by Guendozi telling Maupay where to stuff it. Imagine if we applied the same yardstick to Vieira’s behavior.
I thought it started in Dubai and the Maupay incident was the last straw?
He took his shirt off and danced in Dubai appaz. Had this been in Rio, nobody would have batted an eyelid.
Bad behavior? Absolutely. Idiotic, yep. But it's not surprising for a stimulated teenager who's set for life to act like a buffoon. It's a teenage thing.
Just fine him for every misdemeanor. It wasn't even a big deal in the media before that Brighton incident. After that, everything blew up. The FA didn't bother slapping a fine or a suspension either. All of a sudden, news about his horrible attitude started pouring in after Brighton.
If there's anything we've been masterful at, lately, it's our foolproof PR mechanism.
Mind you, I'm not defending his behavior. He might be an absolute dumbass for all we know. I just don't trust the club's narrative or the people running things at Arsenal these days. It's a tad cronyistic. Not exactly. But somewhere there.
Exactly this - it very much seemed to me that the club's smear machine went into full force.
Not the first time.
