🚨 Wayne Rooney fires back at Jürgen Klopp over his comments comparing Germany's disallowed goal to Arsenal's set-pieces:
🗣️ “Listen, you can't keep dragging Arsenal into every conversation.
Every time there's a controversial decision, somehow Arsenal become the reference point. It's getting ridiculous.
People spent an entire season trying to discredit Arsenal's set-pieces, calling them lucky, calling them boring and saying they were exploiting the rules.
Now Germany have a goal ruled out after a VAR review, and suddenly Arsenal are being mentioned again.
The two situations aren't the same.
Arsenal's set-pieces were worked on relentlessly on the training ground. They were legal, they were effective, and they played a huge part in Arsenal becoming Premier League champions.
Let's stop being hypocrites. When Arsenal score from a well-worked routine, it's called 'boring football.' When another team is on the wrong end of a VAR decision, Arsenal are somehow blamed for changing the game.
Enough of that.
Give Arsenal credit for what they achieved instead of using them as the benchmark every time football throws up another controversy.”
Archie’s team had the very talented @LMalkinPhotos at their game last night & here’s a few action shots of him doing his bit in one of the sports he loves. If you need a sports photographer around Staffordshire, give Laura a shout
@bigphil321 Unfortunately won’t change mate. We’re in cricket season currently but hearing there’s football tournaments going on where teams are getting academy “ringers” in to win at under 8/9’s! Boosts the gaffers ego though! #muppets
@bigphil321 Class mate, we live at our local club when it’s the season for it, our youngest plays so it’s breakfast in the morning & a couple of shandies in the afternoon 😉
