    Has any Arsenal fans asked to see the panels bank statements yet!?!?! I dont want to miss that bitching.

    It’s genuinely sad that many Arsenal fans lost the high ground on the limitations of current VAR and instead pivoted to direct corruption.

    You genuinely think Saudi Arabia (who has nearly 4 times as much money as the next richest owner) would risk thier sports washing on some bribes instead of just building a fucking juggernaut of a team/club.

    I hate the fact that PIF owns us and Saudi Arabia is taking a larger role in football as much as the next guy BUT the lot that was hysterical look foolish right now

      You think Saudi Arabia, who cut up journalists with bone saws, is above giving refs a paycheck or a promise of a future paycheck for refereeing a few games with an implied understanding?

      Not saying they did it in this specific occasion but I think they would. It doesnt have to be straight cash into bank account - and it usually isnt - but it could be a very lucrative seminar to train their referees.
