Thomas Partey charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault relating to three women

Serious lack of innocent until proven guilty on here.

Which is fucking ironic.
Not by me.
However some questions need to be asked about arsenal’s behaviour in this.
Guilty or not.
Partey is innocent until proven guilty but he shouldn’t be playing while this has been going on.
I’m guessing he’s been charged now so he can’t leave the country while on bail.
Now there’s links abroad I’m guessing the CPS have decided to pull the trigger.
 
It is an interesting comparison between Arsenal with Partey, Utd with Greenwood and us with Mendy. Arsenal, who as we know love to sermonise and think they are the club with class, just kept playing him. City and Utd stood them down immediately post arrest. Arsenal will point to the legal case Mendy successfully brought against us as justification, but that was because we stopped paying him, not that we stopped playing him.
My view is that Arsenal are just so desperate to win the league that they played him regardless. They missed out again, and their image will now be forever tainted.
It wasn't tainted when they cheated Spurs out of a place in the league. And it wasn't tainted when their manager was done for dodgy dealings. Fairly sure the fact that a 'former' player has been charged won't stick either as they'll say they knew nothing about it until today.

This is a club and fan base that seems to have an issue with oil money yet has been sponsored by the same since they moved stadium. Their self awareness isn't very high.

This fucker has been able to play on for nearly 3 1/2 years since alleged offences came to light.
 
As a further comment from the perspective of an Arsenal fan, he's been investigated since 2022 and we kept playing him and offered him a contract extension. Arteta even spoke about 'everything he's been through'. It's a fucking disgrace and a stain on the club. Even if he's found not guilty (and 9/10 rape cases are dismissed before charge and he wasn't charged when at Arsenal) our club leadership demonstrating zero sensibility for our female fans and just not showing any moral fibre in general is disgraceful behaviour all round.

Now let's ditch the 'Visit Rwanda' bullshit as well.
If we don't have an extradition treaty with Rwanda party could do worse than a long visit before this goes to trial

My issue is they continued to play him rather than suspend him; and the support the club gave him and the Arteta comments ‘After all he has been through’
 
Doesn’t fit with them offering him a new contract. They’re just lucky he turned it down.

I seem to recall at the time of the news, it looked as though they were lying about him being injured.

I think given the wider knowledge they should have considered suspension pending investigation.

Don't agree with all of that.

I get that for victims of rape its hard enough to go to the police and give statements about their ordeals, but on the other hand, you get fake accusations, the alleged rapist is then named, and despite being cleared, they are still a rapist in most people's eyes.

It's a tricky subject
