I don't know which one is worse between this one and Partey/Arsenal continuing to play while he's out on bail for a rape charge, yeah actually its still Arsenal but feels like the Premier league is turning into the Mos Eisley of professional sports leagues lately |

Whereas tonelli pretty clearly committed the offence and is about to be banned for a long time. Both clubs have acted poorly imo but I do think arsenal is going to really wear it if partey ends up being convicted.
There's a degree of hypocrisy for sure but i understand you can't bet on football leagues in your own country involving teams you could potentially play in league or cup. It's a slippery slope nevermind most of these guys are friends with a player or two on most teams in the league.
I'd rather just see the gambling ads and sponsorships gone and hope that's coming

So was Partay charged or not charged? You wrote both.
Even as an Arsenal fan, I have no idea about this except what you guys write on CP. There's no news on it; I thought all charges were dropped?
