He even looks down just before it happens.

It's a judgement call for sure and you'll always piss off somebody with those. But even if Mings thinks he got the short end, behaving like a small child won't change anything about it. He comes across like an utter bellend.

The guy's been out for 15 months with a knee injury. Just started playing his way back into Bournemouth's first team. Shaky comeback, lot of home fans on his back, but for the first time in that Man Utd match we saw a glimpse of his potential. Flashpoints aside, he pretty much held his own against Ibra.

I don't think he comes across as a bellend at all with his tweet. Just a sense of sarcasm at the perceived injustice.

Check out what he's like in real life. The opposite of what we expect our modern day footballers to be. He's actually a good and genuine guy.


"Off the field, Mings has gained a reputation for charitable and generous acts. He spent Christmas Day 2013 feeding homeless people and when he was given the number 3 shirt by Ipswich at the beginning of the 2014–15 season he replaced the shirts of fans who had already bought ones with his old number on the back."

"Big-hearted Ipswich Town left back Tyrone Mings has seemingly paid off his mother's debts in his latest act of generosity"
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...-kindness.html

"Ipswich youngster Tyrone Mings made headlines as he noticed that a fan on twitter was “too skint” to make it to the Bolton game, so sorted him out with tickets to the game"

The 'Wenger Out' banners are out today.

Arsenal are a trainwreck. Wenger's time appears up, but at least half the players need to be replaced too because they have no heart.

Who cares, Chelsea are going to own the Premier League until the end of time.

I'm not even worried about tomorrow. We can deal with City.

Its Bournemouth we have to watch out for.

Haha, that game's coming up soon, right?

I think you'll be alright against us at Anfield.

You never know though... another 4-3?

[The Big Chill]

Well that was a wild game. Good point in the end. Both teams should have scored more.

[Locke]

Balls.

They did not go in the nets.

[Senator Clay Davis]

That was nice of Aguero and Lallana to have a "Who can miss the easier goal" competition at the end. Aguero has to be the winner though since he's, you know, an actual striker.

[agulati]

It has been a bad year for Arsenal this year. Hoping for major changes independent of how they finish the season.

Lallana's chance was about 100 times easier though.

I was only following the score, I'm going to watch the game when I get home from work....any links to said 'sitters?'

Gracias Senor!

Must agree, Lallana's was clearly the more egregious.

Aguero's was a volley, much more difficult to perpetrate.

[Anduril]

Lallana's chance goes in 9 times out of 10 regardless of whoever is tapping it in. Most would be lucky to get half the volleys from Aguero's angle in goal.

Looks like wenger's staying

John cross who has written an arsenal book and has a history of good sources saying it's going to be a 2 year deal http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...-ever-10060876

lol awesome

[devo22]

shamelessly stolen from Twitter

[Slava]

Should their supporters be all that upset though? I mean they have won 2/3 FA Cups in the past few years, and finished top four consistently. I find it hilarious that they can't take the next step, and things aren't exactly on the upswing this year, but that track record isn't exactly terrible.

[cam_wmh]

They are at risk of missing CL, and those big dollars.
That's what Kroenke really cares about, isn't it? Yet re-signs Arsene?
