and his ‘touchline antics’ while supporting Emi Martinez who somehow dragged Argentina to win the world cup, won the golden glove in that tournament and still came out of looking like a massive tool. If Andy got second-hand embarrassment from watching Arteta mocking the referee I can only imagine how much he must have died inside seeing Martinez trying to mock Kylian Mbappe who put 4 goals past him in the final.
The Saka issue isn’t about Villa. It isn’t about any footballers. It’s about the referees. Saka gets the sh*t kicked out of him most games. Because the referees let it happen. It’s a black and white issue. Very literally. But opposition players, yes including yours, know they can get away with it till the yellow card comes. Which it invariably doesn’t. Players get this treatment. Some more than others, and it’s qWhite the mystery as to how some get protection and some don’t. But it happens.

*That opened the game up. Palace had four further attempts at goal while Brentford had five. Unfortunately for the Eagles, they scored with the fifth. Again, another fun moment for Ayew, as another terrible cross was easily defended enabling the hosts to launch the counterattack from which they scored. Patrick Vieira was visibly furious with him on the touchline.
*Among different fan groups there are different interpretations of the situation based on people’s natural optimism or pessimism. Palace haven’t won in 2023, but have four draws from seven games against teams above them in the league. According to CPFC HQ on Twitter, Palace have had the toughest season so far, playing opponents who at this stage have an average of 1.51 points per game .
