Racist podcast rant - Arsenal fan & 'Comedian' Alan Davies not happy with us

Yes. It's his podcast, he hosts it every week.

Just listened to it again, and when he’s not in full-on rant, certain words do sound like him!

Sad, because I always liked QI and thought his schtick in there was quite amusing.

This, though, is a full-on “-ist” rant, using phrases I’m sure he will live to regret.

One of the most despicable phrases, which hasn’t been hit on as much as others that pop out at you, is the notion of “our League”

Arsenal fans literally believe they’re football royalty in England because a French man assembled a team full of foreign players, and made a name for their club, and one of their executives, David Dein, “ran” English football for awhile before hopping upstairs into world football.

So, let me get this entirely clear in my mind in case I'm missing something:

1) Arsenal have a good first half and go in 1-0 up at half time but point to Ederson's tackle on Odegaard and scream penalty when the game was still at 0-0. VAR agreed it's not a clear and obvious error after multiple camera angles indicate Ederson won the ball given the direction it travels after. It COULD have been given, but it's hard to tell whether Ederson clips his foot first - no penalty.

2) Bernardo breaks into the area and Xhaka clearly sticks out his left leg across Bernardo which in itself, could be a given as a penalty. Ref says no. Replays then show he ALSO has a hold of his shirt and pulls him down.VAR see this as a clear error, ref looks again - agrees... penalty awarded.

3) Gabriel is caught on camera wrecking the penalty spot in the hope Mahrez misses on the back of it. Referee correctly books him for vandalism of his teams own pitch. Another Arsenal player ESCAPES a booking when he does the same thing.

4) The ref is then point blank accused of blocking a running lane for Martinelli who blazes the ball over the bar when presented with an open goal. People are reaching here, tin foil hat stuff this...

5) Gabriel gets done on the half way line by Jesus and finds himself out of position so makes no attempt to play the ball and hauls him down which is a 100% yellow card offence. Apparently this is an injustice?

We don't even have to touch on the hilarity of Rodri at the end and the conduct of their fans in the corner.

But now we get these kind of rants from C-list comedians venting their spleen about the culture of Cities owners with oil and desert references? WOW, just wow.

They are all on the verge of picking up their ball and not playing - drink it in....

While Gabriel did as you say in #3, that’s not what it looks like he was booked for, which looks like was running 30 yards to shout at the ref.

The “injustice” is all manufactured nonsense advanced by their assistant manager and goalkeeper in their post game interviews, and lazy (anti-City) pundits in the media.

BBC now saying it was for scuffing up the penalty spot. Who knows? I personally thought it was for gobbing off.

This charge should really be followed up by another of whatever governs objects thrown onto the pitch by fans. It wasnt 1 or 2 scrunched up pieces of paper it was hundreds of items including water bottles etc. They clearly think this is acceptable at Arsenal following bananagate etc.

At one time refs were getting stick for not being fit enough to keep up with play, now they are getting hammered for being in front of it. They can't win.

Plus he said that the guy called him names but…”….if it wasn’t him it was his mate”!!
So he attacked someone who could have been totally innocent and anyway he is allegedly witty so could he not have countered any alleged name calling with a quick quip in return rather than assaulting him?

There used to be a legal concept of joint enterprise. If a gang attack somebody and the victim is stabbed by one, all are equally guilty.
I am not sure it still applies.

No action on the missile throwing?

And don't forget no yellow (and apparently no retrospective action) for Saka going into crowd after scoring? This lack of yellow (one rule for them, one rule for Sterling... and twice as worse now with covid), is doubly important, as he got a yellow in the 63rd minute, so they should be down to 9 men for 30 minutes.

Well I didn’t even press to listen! As soon as I read the name I ignored the thingymabob! (I know it’s called a podcast but I don’t see any pea pods nor any fishing rods to cast with!)

I listened to it, unfortunately.. both disgusting in its racism and completely deluded in its description of events during the game at the weekend..

But like you, although I'm tech-savvy, I usually try not to get too involved with these 'interweb thingies' such as downcasting a podload, or whatever it's called.. (even that makes me sound like I'm channelling my 'Inner Professor Stanley Unwin'..!)
 
I can hand on heart say that Alan Davies has never made me laugh...until today. It's good to know we get under their skin but the thinly disguised racism is typical of so many.
 
It seems Davies has form. Pretty much every club bar his beloved Arsenal are in the firing line at any given point. See below for his considered opinion of a certain other club in September 2015 without so much as a hint of irony.

"Be advised, this delusional personality disorder starts at the top. Of all the reprehensible scumbags masquerading as talented successful stars in their field, you have to start with Abramovic. Now, he is the billionaire with yachts and legit business interests and helicopters, and the grim reality of the blood-stained gold rush that was the break-up of the former USSR, the handing over of huge state utilities, of the right to print money to oligarchs, to keep them out of western business hands. There are bodies buried, make no mistake. But now, he cruises clear in ugly legitimacy in needy London, where we'll sell anything to any dubious foreign national, without asking what crimes or human rights violations they committed to amass their sickening wealth. Of course, a man like that would hire a man like Mourinho, a walking narcissistic personality disorder. And of course, he would have the racist criminal Terry as his leader, and the sociopathic violent thug as his centre forward. And they would be paraded as heroes in front of millions of impressionable children worldwide. It's inevitable, it's a disgusting institution that's rotten from the top all the way down to its racist fans pushing black people off tubes."

He wasn’t shown the yellow card until he ran the 30 yards, and if scuffing the door was the reason (unsportsmanlike conduct), the Ramsdale should have been in the book, too.

And, it should be upgraded in the Laws of the Game to a red card and 3 games. It is blatant, petulant cheating!

There is a slow march to the destruction of the game due to blatant cheating. The flopping is getting more creative, but it is still flopping!

In fact, if Bernardo had just gone over Xhaka’s leg instead of flopping, I think he would have got the penalty even without the shirt pulling. In effect, VAR seeing the shirt pulling won us that penalty, IMHO!

Atwell’s derisive hand and facial gestures towards Bernardo spine to what he saw (the flop), as opposed to the challenge.

And, I include the above for City players, too! Pep should tell Jesus, Sterling and Bernardo to TRY to stay on their feet or just go down under the challenge, but “STOP THE FLOP.”

And, the other fix that’s needed is crowding the ref and definitely jumping or contacting him. Immediate yellow card for any player other than the Captain approaching the ref and a ref card for foul and abusive at the officials. Mic the refs and only use it in cases where clubs appeal the card! You’ll soon not only stop the appeals once the language comes out, but it’ll quickly stop the abuse!

The whole “Respect” campaign is a joke in England, as evidenced by the numerous close ups of players telling the refs to eff off!

PL should institute the rule, effective next season, and give players the second half of this season to get used to swallowing a big dose of STFU towards the officials and the flopping!

Just one FOC’s opinion of where the game is faltering from a global perspective.

So, Usmanov is now a “St George flag verified” English name and Kroenke, because he can go by “Stan,” is an honorary Englishman by Cockney fiat?!

How about the “Frogs,” Alan? They OK??
