And I thought Double DDs were good.

Well what I would suggest to those people is, sometimes, you have to give people a second chance, i am sure we have all been guilty at some point of making inappropriate comments, hell, I was born in the mid 80's and grew up in the 90's the word faggot back then was thrown around as a general insult, I don't think many even realised it was homophobic in nature, you would see it on TV shows etc.
Not that it makes it right but obviously we all come from different cultural backgrounds and use words in different ways and times have changed now in many ways for the better, we have become slightly oversensitive in general now though but I can completely understand the condemning of homophobic slurs, especially with aggressive tone, I mean, I have had gay friends that have and still do, call each other fags but the context is what matters, this is why what Aurier did was unacceptable.
The main thing is the guy seems to have learned from his mistakes, he deserves a second chance, I do not subscribe to the modern witch hunt idea that if one person does something wrong one time then they should be condemned for it forever, people can and often do change in life and we ALL make mistakes, even though some people like to think they are perfect, I assure you, you're not perfect.
If this guy fucks up again then obviously we can cross that bridge when we come to it, I am sure Poch has already made him aware of this and I am sure he is more than aware of this himself.
I don't know if this has been mentioned already but...
They were talking about him on The Totally Football podcast and saying how popular he was in the PSG dressing room. Apparently part of the problem with him was that he grew up on a council estate in Paris and some of the guys he grew up that weren't a great influence would often turn up at his house when he was playing for PSG. Obviously you aren't going to get that so much when you relocate to a different country.
I'll never understand why they think that's something to be proud of. How shite of a team do you have to be to not even manage to sign the players who used to be your own fans?Picture of him in a arsenal shirt saying one day

They might have criminal records.Yeah I was listening to that as well. Might be just what he needs to get away from bad influences etc. Then again, there's nothing stopping them all coming to London with him theoretically.
Hell, I was heard to utter a homophobic remark when I saw Niall Horan on the news this evening. But I get on just fine with gay people. Too much being made of this.
Takes number 24 shirt apparently (which I guess makes sense in some ways as he's 24 years of age).
Should have much preferred we left 22 for him but hey ho.
19 is his preferred number I think?
BUT HELL WHAT A SIGNING
It's in the summer from now on anyway.No AFrican Cup of Nations this year too which is good.
Ah, that's good. Cheers.It's in the summer from now on anyway.
why would there be bad influences...don't get caught up with all the stereotyping.Yeah I was listening to that as well. Might be just what he needs to get away from bad influences etc. Then again, there's nothing stopping them all coming to London with him theoretically.
