I'm living in London, now, too, and have an Arsenal supporter as a wife...  I think this season, and having her watch Leicester matches seriously, is helping ground her a bit better in that regard   (TBH, it's not her fault she lived near Highbury when growing up is it?  )

The only normal Arsenal fan is my son.Yes,I have failed as a parent. Why did I move down here LOL!!

[breadandcheesebrother]

 Wonder if man city dug up and leaked the hamza tweets ahead of this weekend's game just to unsettle him, and knowing Brendan will probably look to start the game with a similar midfield - just like the magic link to Maguire surfacing a few days ago. Sub Leeds spying tactics if so.

The lad needs a decent chant.

“ he tweets what he wants”

“ he tweets what he wants”

“hamza and frankie Boyle tweet what they want”

Well, I know exactly why I moved down here - my Mum gave me a house, a job and a girlfriend (now my wife)   So I can't complain too much about having to support Arsenal in exchange for her supporting Leicester now, can I? (Except when they meet of course... Hehehe.)  It does feel pretty sad that the only footy match I've ever been to was at the Emirates though, rather than the KP   (I've been to the KP, but for the Rugby World Cup instead - feels a bit like cheating, ...)

I personally don’t give a shit if he upsets someone with his tweets, we need a badass in midfield who speaks his mind, the only upsetting thing is he feels the need to apologise.

Well, I'm sorry, but the lad is a trier but nothing else.

 

I wish him well. A local lad and without doubt a 100%er.

 

His touch is as delicate as a lump hammer. And when he had possession, on almost every occasion he rolled it back to the keeper. With respect, I could do that.

 

In pissing down conditions, he did however excel at the slide tackle.

 

No shame in it but I suspect he'll forge a career at league 1/2 level.

 

(Before I get battered for slagging off a young lad, I recall James wesolowski. He was miles ahead at the same age. And cut out a career earning 300 notes a week at Hamilton accies in the end)

 

This is weird. I only picked this up on the back of your rethink today about the virtues of Hamza.

 

I was on a cruiser yesterday and got talking to an Aussie who was well into football and was commenting on one or two Aussies who had made it in the Prem. I wanted to talk about Wesolowski having been on our books and not quite making it, but I couldn't for the life of me recall his name. Today I spot your comment of 3 months ago and there it is.

 

Incidentally, I think your comment on Wesolwski is a little unfair. As far as I recall (and maybe someone can update my memory) Wesolowski was an exciting prospect for us but his career was completely derailed by a horrendous leg break from which he never fully recovered, hence him ending up at a much lower level.

 

And back to Hamza, amazing how a number of fans had such a poor view of his passing ability and yet he comes up with a stat of 98% accuracy v Arsenal. All good!

[Guest]

I had him down as being pretty limited - good for if we needed someone to disrupt the opposition but not really anything beyond that. Couldn't really understand the consistent calls for him to be in the side but think he's probably going to prove me wrong. Tidy passer, not afraid to drive forward with the ball and strong and aggressive in the tackle without being reckless. I get the impression Torreira might fancy himself as a bit of a scrapper but Hamza made him look like a little kid on more than one occasion.

 

Still think it's a little early to properly judge how good he is and I wonder how useful he'd be against more defensive-minded teams, but he's looking good and I hope it continues.

Amazing that you've just created your own conspiracy theory out of thin air and decided to compare it to something that actually happened. I'm sure if Manchester City were so frightened of us to dig up dirt, they'd do more than pull up tweets from a player who has made one league appearance since January (and thus would be replaced without much fuss in the team)

 

The wonders of the internet.

Thanks. Was fun thinking it up.

Not sure that would be down to him mate,he will have been told to do that.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

When I speak to media students about the business, I recommend they go back through tweets and search for hateful words and then delete them as stuff can come back to haunt them. Better still, just bulk delete very old tweets. As for Hamza, he said some stupid things but nothing outrageous for a 15/16 year old. This will blow over quickly but clubs should educate young players more about these things.

 

(I've made social media cockups as a full grown adult - thank fook it wasn't around when I was a kid.)

One of the more interesting tweets from Hamza

Your Mum gave you a girlfriend?? That surely goes beyond the duty of parental responsibility?

I know    I don't think my Mum cared much for her football support, though   (Yes, she was my Mum's girlfriend before me - she basically paid her to look after her house (that we're both now living in) while she was away (which was most of the time.) - and wasn't adverse to sharing a bed together when she wasn't ;) )

TBH, my Mum probably took one look at her and thought "she'd make a good girlfriend for Phillippa, and I like her too", and then after she'd gotten to know her better "she'd make a good wife for Phillippa", so....   (P.s. my wife just read this and shrugged - "it's true, and I'm not complaining!" )

Usually, youngster are deployed at the game that already winning,againts smaller opponent to prevent them get demoralised as well to see their talents. 

 

This guy instead need a bigger opponent to show his talents -_-

[Danizen]

If anyone says they weren't a dickhead at 15 years old they're lying. Apologies to any 15 year olds reading this but it's true. I was a massive bell end at 15.

 

Obviously what he said wasn't right but it would be Arsenal fans to do this. 

 

"We're getting absolutely schooled so I'm going to go through 6 years worth of tweets to find something controversial in the hopes an opponent gets punished."

 

As a collective, they probably went through our entire squad's social media.

Statement from FA:

 

'Hamza Choudhury has been fined £5,000 and ordered to attend an FA education course by an Independent Regulatory Commission after he admitted to an ‘aggravated breach’ of FA Rule E3(1).

'Comments posted by the Leicester City player on social media between 20 June 2013 and 10 May 2014, which included reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or sexual orientation, were found to be abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute.

'The midfielder was also warned as to his future conduct.'

 

I struggle to understand how those within the FA decided these posts by a teenage schoolboy at the time are worthy of any sanction. It should have been an opportunity to warn professional players to delete posts on social media from before they were professionals, amd leave it at that. It would be interesting to hear a person who decided his punishment answer questions about this, rather than hide behind a statement.

Can we merge the three threads we have on Hamza please? I'd like two. One for Hamza the footballer and one for Hamza the mouthy 15 year old.
