As a wise man once said:
Why you wanna fuck with me, fam?
I'm tryna live a square life, you wanna fuck up my plan
Under a bus, fucker, I'll throw you under a van
Throw the van in reverse and then I'll do it again
Ok, semi serious head on. I 95% agree with you BUT, I do think fans feeling/club vibe can certainly have a subconscious effect on players. They won’t knowingly not try but they can definitely not put in that extra 5% needed to get the win and that can come from fans and stuff.
There’s a lot of silly comments in this thread, comments that are largely made in jest. I think it goes without saying that most of us just want us to cheat well enough as to not raise the suspicions of the relevant authorities but not so well that Arsenal fans don’t realise we’ve thrown the game.
I’m even pettier than that. I don’t want to just lose a game of football. I want them to know, with no room left for doubt, that we 100% threw that game. Vicario just booting the ball in his net from a goal kick when it’s 0-0 would be ideal.
Let’s be grown up about this, who cares if they deserve it or not? As long as no one says congratulations or gives them any credit that’s all that matters.
I know this might be a bit tongue in cheek but I think Palmer playing would make a big difference. I don’t think any pro knowingly rolls over for any opponent. I can see that happening sub consciously if Palmer is out but more to do with negative energy more than anything.
