What...do black people not like Saka?
Tneg just meant on Arsenal-Mania.
I am explaining that because Saka meets the expectations that the public desire to see from athletes on and off the pitch, there isn't that need to overly defend him as much.
Saka escapes a lot of the tropes that get thrown around here (or used to) like lazy, unintelligent, money hungry, party boy etc. If he was a lesser player, or came into the club on 300k salary, or was outwardly known for his fashion or something, then who knows.

I have kinda wanted him out of the club since this, tbf...
I heard from one of the Arsenal youtubers that they are supposedly next door neighbours if that counts for anything

Some do and some don’t. Same as white or any other people. I don’t see why skin color should matter when it comes to supporting players or teams. How on earth would you support a club like Arsenal with a multiracial team otherwise?What...do black people not like Saka?

Tbh the media etc should probably retire the 'Starboy' stuff now.
It was kind of cute to start with when he was a teenager but it's a bit pat on the head now. Guy's a man and is carrying our attack. Deserves to be treated as such.

Bro I watch premier league years all the time on sky sports it's really enjoyable.
The horrible sad thing is it used to be 90% Arsenal vs Man Utd matches but as we are all getting on a bit, it's increasingly Abro's Chelsea and that era now.

The OG intro that ended with Adams lifting the title rather than Ferguson, the real ones remember!
On YouTube "Souster98" and "DM Arsenal Archives" are the best for me.

Wasn't going to post this, lest the thread police jump down my throat again, but f*ck it. Some interesting points, I thought.

People seem overly obsessed with skin colour on here. I don't get it.

In regards to Palmer he is just the new toy. I could see what happened to Bruno (penalties were also a big part of his debut season) happening to Palmer if he loses penalties or Chelsea don't get as much.
Foden is an English player in the best team in the world so he will always be a bit hyped up. I think the NT sets Saka and Foden apart as Saka always shines.
The one puzzling thing for me for Saka is the refs. I don't know if he has a reputation among them or if it's a northern thing and they think he's soft but there is definitely some bias there.
Rival fans, I see some overrated claims but the overwhelming consensus is most fans want a "Saka" in their team like the tweet says.

I would love to go back to the first half of the 1999/2000 season, and see if rival fans would be talking down Thierry like they do with Saka.
"Chris Sutton is way better than that French fraud!"
"Chris Armstrong >>> Thierry Henry, change my mind!"
"Think it's time to just say it, Michael Bridges is a better striker than The Gunners new signing!"
...some of the potential stuff from back then would have been amazing
