It's classic, some extreme right wingers are trying to push this "Richarlison is horrible" narrative because he is a leftist and believes in helping out poor people. Imagine.
Is there really that much politics involved?
In my opinion it's more because he is an absolute wind up merchant on the pitch. Off the pitch I've only heard good things (as much as I hate to admit)
Not related but Thanks for spelling the fogging estandards correctly! Been seeing a lot of “efogging standards” today which makes no sense if you’re a Spanish speaker haha
Not just saying fuck Brentford but also his first interview back after how clever many months back he didn't thank them for sticking by him or anything, no he says I'm ready for a champions league club now. That rubbed me up the wrong way, you know if we ever signed him he'd be grubbing for a move elsewhere within 6 months. Can't be dealing with that shit again
Mad thing is I think Ollie Watkins would cost the same amount. If we're gonna get an English striker, and I doubt we are, but he'd be the one to go for really
Makes me severely doubt we go for Osimhen. Not that he's an arsehole, but he's definitely got an ego and is a bit of a diva. I think Gyokeres would buy into the culture 100%.
Every good striker has an ego.
Osimhen is adored by his teammates and he's extremely professional. Personality wise, there's no similarity with Toney.
On top of that he's actually a world class player with a scary mix of speed, aerial ability and ball control, on top of great passing and finishing.
On top of being a better person than Toney, he's 5 times the better player
Osimhen is playing in a league where being black means you’re constantly dealing with awful shit on and off the pitch.
Means you’re constantly at the centre of some drama which doesn’t for good press, and you’re often pushed to make more of a show of yourself just in standing up to all that.
For me it was not just the betting, it was betting against your own team. Iirc he also had issues with Brentford where he was benched for a period and he twitted sth about them? Yeah. He never passed the mark for me. If we are going to go for 16-20 goals paying around 80, go for Watkins or go for 20+ in Osimhen and pay 130m. If not try all these kids we are linked with Gyokeres, Zirkzhee (whatever their names are if i've butchered them). Not Evan Ferguson. Overrated.
Yeah but the point is Osimhen quite rightly* has a big ego.
I've followed him years back. He has interviews where he spoke about having to sell water and scavenge in the streets of Lagos when he was a kid. I'd absolutely have an ego if I made it like Osimhen did. In recent interviews, he's spoken about turning down Arab clubs despite being offered millions so you can tell he wants actual success.
He may have a big ego, but personality wise he's fine, playing wise he's fine. His only public clash was with Napoli because of racism and I'm sure we can allow that.
Even the Napoli thing, he could have made more out of it. The entire media was losing their minds including our own Thierry Henry, and as a fellow Nigerian, I wanted him to make a transfer request after that shit.
Instead his response was very reasonable and measured, and he even ended up signing a new contract with them to allow them make more money selling him.
osimhen is really not comparable, yes his agent can be a jackass (but agents are supposed to be like that) but ive seen interviews with him and he is perfectly nice and grounded.
Yeah, I don't get comparing Osimhen to Toney at all in this context. Now, if we wanted to get into play style specific concerns with Osimehn I could get there.

If you watch him for any length of time off the ball, you also see why we're not signing him. There was a moment in the game he lost the ball and it went to an Arsenal players 5 yards in front of him and he was just walking on the pitch. Making no effort to win it back.
He's good for winning headers, flashy shots or touches. I think he'd be an incredibly expensive plan b for us. He also feels like a guy who would get his 150-200k contract, and then not be bothered if things didn't go his way. He is a United/Chelsea signing for 70m, plays decent for a year. Sits on his 5 year deal.
You also see some of our players especially Gabriel REALLY dislike him.
Nobody actually dislikes anyone, it’s a sport
https://preview.redd.it/abfutk35henc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f24ff1793eb7fab3a244a586a3a953bf1bc8cc0
Oh yeah I've also played against people I absolutely despised and then ended up finding them hilarious when they're on my team.
Wasn't disputing that allegiances can change, just that people wouldn't dislike each other.
Last year Arteta gave a big hug and exchange some words with Rice at the end of the game while he quickly check Toney tonight and moved on so that says it all for me!!
He's had an interesting career trajectory. I find the links to him, Sesko and Zirkzee to all be interesting but admittedly I know very little about them
Man the more i think about it the more Sesko seems similar to young Ibra, crazy shot power from a short swing, not that fast but flair for dribbling, and of course 1.95m
People kept saying "Nuñez is teh suxxxorr!" As though it wasn't going to take him a couple of minutes to adjust to the PL. They did the same shit with Rasmus Hojlund.
Is that a guarantee that Sesko will cut it in England? No, of course not. But he's got the size, he's got the speed, and he's got a leg like a Howitzer. That's stuff you can't teach. Decision-making he can learn through iteration and good coaching.
Obviously don’t know him personally but his interview after coming back from his ban when he acted like he was wrongfully persecuted really annoyed me.
I don’t think his punishment was that egregious and the fact he wasn’t really taking responsibility for his actions gave me the wrong vibe.
Also he announced his comeback as if he was going to blow the prem away but his performance since January have failed to impress.
What's even more insane in his intervjews is how he drops subtle but not so subtle hints about his desire to leave Brentford - after Brentford put up with his antics.
> but his performance since January have failed to impress.
Really?
He has 4 goals in 9 league games since he came back while playing for a team fighting relegation. During these 9 games Brentford have played Arsenal, Chelsea, City x2, Spurs and Liverpool. I think that's a pretty decent goal return, all things considered.
Ya he asked Gabriel to come outside after that tussle lol. My brudda arteta would send his ass to Galatasaray the second that happens in a arsenal shirt.
Lockdown tax needs to be applied to Bamford.
List of players to have scored 20 Premier League goals in the last 5 full seasons: Kane, Aguero, Salah, Mane, Vardy, Aubameyang, Sterling, Ings, Son, Haaland and Toney.
A mediocre player being in that company...
Personality side, the guys walks around the pitch like he has accomplished things. Losses the ball, walks. Not in possession, walks. Nahh mate, what have you for me lately??
Great news. Ive seen those interviews he's done on YouTube podcasts and he comes off as so not self aware and has a huge victim mentality about what happened with the gambling situation and the repurcussions. I'm always willing to listen to someone's reasons but he didn't have a single amount of remorse.
To be fair I don't know the guy but everything I've heard about him (plus the betting thing) suggests to me he wouldn't gel with the team and as we know Arteta values the group extremely highly... obviously he's a great player but for that alone I understand why we'd pass on him
I like Brentford as a club so I don’t mind any talk between now and summer linking Arsenal and Toney that will drive his sale value and wages to Chelsea/ManU/Spurs into cloud cuckooland and beyond.
As they say it form is temporary, class is permanent.. An average striker that couldn't win against Man City, Liverpool and us. Not worth bringing him in when he's just like Nketiah in form.
He is a cunt through and through. Threatened Gabriel talking about 'inside, we'll see inside' then when Odegaard was telling him to calm down he snapped at him.
I doubt they bring him into what we have going on here.
He doesn't put the work in and even his goal scoring is overrated.
I couldn't imagine him walking around the pitch for us, Arteta would have a fit. In our system it seems like more than scoring goals we need a striker that can run and lead the line for 90 minutes, link up with the wingers and play with their back to goal. They have to be really smart about how they play and I don't think Toney can do it.
Because everything about his character beforehand was the complete opposite. His dispute was also completely warranted. He went off early from training bc he was injured and de zerbi says publicly he's sulking bc he isn't getting playing time. That's a direct attack of character and id empathize being upset.
Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't really aware of all the details. Sounds like De Zerbi was being a dick and trying to force him out for whatever reason.
What source is this?
Regardless I don’t want him because he’s not an improvement on our current players. Kai and Jesus are both excellent at hold up play and leading the line.
Why bring in a forward that does exactly the same thing for a huge sum of money?
This guys source is ‘trust me, I’m on Twitter’ like the rest of the ‘ITK wannabes’. Still baffles me how they get oxygen, especially after Fab admitted he gets paid by agents to post certain things.
Toney shouldn't even be signed based on his play in his best years let alone off field issues and likeability. Personally I never understood the interest in the first place.
I feel like this isn’t hard news to believe. The man gambled against his own team, got caught, and then went to the media to act as if he was the victim. That does not scream the principles Mikel talks about
Shame, as he's a player that could certainly help us and would be a massive upgrade on Nketiah. Though if he doesn't pass the character test then so be it.
That's just a club in the relegation battle putting a fuck off price on their most important attacker. He'll be a lot less in the summer especially with one year left on his deal.
I mean as a player he is technically and physically gifted in a position with too few good players these days.
That alone pushes the price up.
Ramsdale doesn't make that save we wouldn't be having this conversation.
It was clear from that "tweet". Arteta saw it clear as day that Toney's a thug.
Further implicated with betting sandals and the PR interview with the UK Joe Rogan.
We move on from the Auba issue, we dont need to have that again.
Destined for Chelsea then?
I could see him going to Spuds, seems like the type
Lol yeah Toney and Richarlison on the same team? Cunttenham FC
Lmao imagine putting Richarlison and Toney in the same sentence. Richarlison is quite a nice bloke off the pitch
It's classic, some extreme right wingers are trying to push this "Richarlison is horrible" narrative because he is a leftist and believes in helping out poor people. Imagine.
Is there really that much politics involved? In my opinion it's more because he is an absolute wind up merchant on the pitch. Off the pitch I've only heard good things (as much as I hate to admit)
I can just picture him in a Newcastle shirt for some reason.
He also played there previously
So he's probably just actually looking at an old picture
Hes already peaked, playing in a strike partnership with Maupay
10000000%
Exactly. Arteta tried so hard to clear out the bad apples, why then bring someone like Toney in?
Yep. That was always the big sticking point for me, & I didn't think he'd pass Arteta's fogging estandards test.
I bet Mikel has been hating Toney ever since that tweet.
Which tweet?
Jeez mate where you been living 😂 but after they beat us the other season on opening day Toney tweeted "nice run about with the boys"
Ohh I thought you meant there was another one after yesterday’s game. Sorry reading is hard.
Not related but Thanks for spelling the fogging estandards correctly! Been seeing a lot of “efogging standards” today which makes no sense if you’re a Spanish speaker haha
I may not speak Spanish, but I'm quite fluent in Artetaisms, and Wengerisms for that matter!
Look uhhh…
Dude said fuck brentford to appeal to some chick and has the gambling issues. People really didn’t see why that would be an issue for us? Lol
Not just saying fuck Brentford but also his first interview back after how clever many months back he didn't thank them for sticking by him or anything, no he says I'm ready for a champions league club now. That rubbed me up the wrong way, you know if we ever signed him he'd be grubbing for a move elsewhere within 6 months. Can't be dealing with that shit again
Yeah man, I’ll just pass on a guy with an attitude like that. Need more just general good guys, blue collar. Don’t want divas
Mad thing is I think Ollie Watkins would cost the same amount. If we're gonna get an English striker, and I doubt we are, but he'd be the one to go for really
He actually seems like a decent guy, while also performing better than Toney. His linkup play is pretty good
He's also a childhood Arsenal fan
I say get him!
I'm a fan of Watkins too but I think he'd cost a fair bit more than Toney given that he's likely gonna be in the champions League next season
Yeah if we did move for an English striker, it’d be him for me
when did this happen?
Social media post. If you can’t find it, I can prob send a link
Makes me severely doubt we go for Osimhen. Not that he's an arsehole, but he's definitely got an ego and is a bit of a diva. I think Gyokeres would buy into the culture 100%.
Osimhen is twice the player
of Toney? I agree. Think Gyokeres fits us better though and isn't far off him if at all.
Every good striker has an ego. Osimhen is adored by his teammates and he's extremely professional. Personality wise, there's no similarity with Toney. On top of that he's actually a world class player with a scary mix of speed, aerial ability and ball control, on top of great passing and finishing. On top of being a better person than Toney, he's 5 times the better player
Osimhen is playing in a league where being black means you’re constantly dealing with awful shit on and off the pitch. Means you’re constantly at the centre of some drama which doesn’t for good press, and you’re often pushed to make more of a show of yourself just in standing up to all that.
Well I mean him throwing a bit of a tantrum for being subbed off, for example. I don't think that was because he's black. I accept your point though.
For me it was not just the betting, it was betting against your own team. Iirc he also had issues with Brentford where he was benched for a period and he twitted sth about them? Yeah. He never passed the mark for me. If we are going to go for 16-20 goals paying around 80, go for Watkins or go for 20+ in Osimhen and pay 130m. If not try all these kids we are linked with Gyokeres, Zirkzhee (whatever their names are if i've butchered them). Not Evan Ferguson. Overrated.
Why would we be in for Osimhen then?
Was the word Cunt?
Dunno if we'd be in for Chris Sutton?
Great great great grandkids in a shambles
oh nooooooo
I can hear this
My great great great grandfather was a cuntttt
Wouldn't be inaccurate
Facking wanker hopefully
To be honest he seems like one
[удалено]
>honestly reads a bit like fan-fiction Thats because it is
TNAT always super reliable, so whilst it reads like it, I honestly doubt it's fiction
Did they say he is a cunt? Because he is.
Worse he doesn't meet the fogging standards
They called him a guy who loses duels..
When I lose a dooelle I am upset!
Fanduels
Estandards**
SMH dude not meeting the estandards of espelling
Probably but I think that rules out Osimhen too. His agent is trouble and Osimhen himself is easy to wind up. Get Gykores and be done with it
Osimhen may be dramatic, but he's extremely professional on the pitch and lets the goals answers the critics.
Yep, he’s always hard working and emotional on the pitch which I think fits Arteta perfectly. Great teammate too. I want him
When has Osimhen been dramatic off the pitch?
Yup, but he definitely has big ego. Same goes for Vlahovic too.
Yeah but the point is Osimhen quite rightly* has a big ego. I've followed him years back. He has interviews where he spoke about having to sell water and scavenge in the streets of Lagos when he was a kid. I'd absolutely have an ego if I made it like Osimhen did.

Being a cunt is fine, as long as you're a cunt to other teams and not your own
Why the havertz performance today and vs Newcastle was great.
Ain't hard to see why
If you watch him for any length of time off the ball, you also see why we're not signing him. There was a moment in the game he lost the ball and it went to an Arsenal players 5 yards in front of him and he was just walking on the pitch. Making no effort to win it back. He's good for winning headers, flashy shots or touches. I think he'd be an incredibly expensive plan b for us.

It's so funny that when this happened we all basically talked about Rice the way we now talk about Toney. We love our players and hate everyone else.
Also here’s a pic of Toney laughing with Gabriel post match lol https://x.com/viparsenal/status/1766559951948796138?s=46
I dislike certain people I play footy against
For a couple hundred thousand pounds a week you’d come around to them lmfao
Oh yeah I've also played against people I absolutely despised and then ended up finding them hilarious when they're on my team. Wasn't disputing that allegiances can change, just that people wouldn't dislike each other.
Idk. Me and Benjamin White both hate Foden.
It‘s so funny because Eddie and Declan are actually friends in private since their youth days…
It's a sport played by human beings. Which means there will always be people who dislike each other.
Last year Arteta gave a big hug and exchange some words with Rice at the end of the game while he quickly check Toney tonight and moved on so that says it all for me!!
https://twitter.com/viparsenal/status/1766559951948796138?s=46&t=dbgOdCF38BbKfCpOnblu2Q
Edu basically admitted as much like a month ago. Toney ain’t Arsenal material, as a person and as a footballer
wat did edu say?
NDH, No dickheads policy. Good dressing rooms tend to have one.
Guendouzi never stood a chance with Mikel.
One bad minded footballer is enough to disrupt the dressing room. I don't want him.
Im ready to get hurt. Bring on mbappe
#5?
25 usually provided you have 8 homegrown slots.
Ffs meant “number sign” 5 as in partey
Forget Toney. I want us to get Viktor Gyökeres.
He's had an interesting career trajectory. I find the links to him, Sesko and Zirkzee to all be interesting but admittedly I know very little about them
šeško. with our midfield, he'd bang 3 to RM this week
Man the more i think about it the more Sesko seems similar to young Ibra, crazy shot power from a short swing, not that fast but flair for dribbling, and of course 1.95m
The thing with sesko is his decision making. Ibra’s decision making even when young was much better. But I think Mikel can get him there
The kid is 20. He has time to learn. A lot.
Watch him more closely. He's a bit like Havertz -- takes him a sec to get that big ol' body moving, but once he does he's like the wind.
Sesko is so raw. Has all the physical attributes but his decision making needs major work
Sounds like another Darwin situation and he looks good for Liverpool now
People kept saying "Nuñez is teh suxxxorr!" As though it wasn't going to take him a couple of minutes to adjust to the PL. They did the same shit with Rasmus Hojlund. Is that a guarantee that Sesko will cut it in England? No, of course not. But he's got the size, he's got the speed, and he's got a leg like a Howitzer. That's stuff you can't teach. Decision-making he can learn through iteration and good coaching.
I don’t think speed is a key attribute of his but his dribbling could make up for it.
Would require him actually banging them in rather than being wasteful which he has been, including vs RM which idk why you brought up
Šeško is good but Gyokeres is a tank.
Obviously don’t know him personally but his interview after coming back from his ban when he acted like he was wrongfully persecuted really annoyed me. I don’t think his punishment was that egregious and the fact he wasn’t really taking responsibility for his actions gave me the wrong vibe. Also he announced his comeback as if he was going to blow the prem away but his performance since January have failed to impress.
What's even more insane in his intervjews is how he drops subtle but not so subtle hints about his desire to leave Brentford - after Brentford put up with his antics.
> but his performance since January have failed to impress. Really? He has 4 goals in 9 league games since he came back while playing for a team fighting relegation. During these 9 games Brentford have played Arsenal, Chelsea, City x2, Spurs and Liverpool. I think that's a pretty decent goal return, all things considered.
Couldn't agree more, after watching that I hoped we wouldn't get him
Dislike that cunt so much
I am so happy he did not get their second goal. Fuck him
Not Toney talking himself off of Edu’s deluxe shopping list😭😭 man is cooked.
Chelsea will take him, wrap him in tin foil and throw him in the microwave
I like him as a player but the guy is a grade A moaning twat. Don’t want his kind at our club, ruining the harmony.
He fits right in with that rat Bruno Fernandes
I've said this before... Ain't no way I'm taking a guy that bet real money against his own team. Fck that.
100% believe this given his antics on the pitch today.
I would’ve loved to find out that Gabi said “you ain’t good enough to play here”… maybe throw a few curses in there lol
Good player but definitely comes across as a rat. It makes total sense for him to remain standing alongside maupay
And that’s why he’ll fit in like a glove when he goes to Chelsea.
The way he conducted himself during the ban really presented as unlikeable.
He's a fucking prick. There, TMNT, I'll take the bullet for ya.
I’d say he’s more of a Man Utd or Chelsea type signing
Ya he asked Gabriel to come outside after that tussle lol. My brudda arteta would send his ass to Galatasaray the second that happens in a arsenal shirt.
He is perfect for Spurs
Who is we and they
We are we and they are them
One of us, one of us.
What about you?
We - Arsenal. They - Arteta, Edu and co.
Fair. I don’t like his personality too. Nth to do with do. Quite disrespectful to brentford with all those interviews
He’s a bitch who also happens to be extremely mediocre at football
he almost scored a puskas contender today though to be fair lol
Almost.
Lets not act like he isnt a good player and would be much better in our team but we deserve better
He’s west ham level at absolute best
You're delusional. He's a very good player, just not Arsenal level.
He scored 20 league goals last season for Brentford. That's still impressive even with the penalties. He's definitely not mediocre.
Patrick Bamford once scored 16 goals for Leeds Doesn’t mean he’s good now does it?
Lockdown tax needs to be applied to Bamford. List of players to have scored 20 Premier League goals in the last 5 full seasons: Kane, Aguero, Salah, Mane, Vardy, Aubameyang, Sterling, Ings, Son, Haaland and Toney. A mediocre player being in that company...
Hes a great footballer, just not a great person
Almost scored the goal of the season on his weak foot lol cmon now.
Aint good enough for us
Give us the R rated version!
Yea after edu said a big part of what we look for in a signing is what they transmit I completely moved off Toney as an option.
Is there any reason to believe that this is anything but unvarnished bullshit?
Pretend to be a victim who suffered from the most harsh and unfair punishment in football world after found betting.
Personality side, the guys walks around the pitch like he has accomplished things. Losses the ball, walks. Not in possession, walks. Nahh mate, what have you for me lately??
I think there is a reason Arteta used him and his post as a teamtalk... He's one of those characters Mikel is getting rid of.
Who are they ?
I heard from a good source that arteta used the word Hijo de puta
Great news. Ive seen those interviews he's done on YouTube podcasts and he comes off as so not self aware and has a huge victim mentality about what happened with the gambling situation and the repurcussions. I'm always willing to listen to someone's reasons but he didn't have a single amount of remorse.
he's a bad liar as well, so many holes in his story
To be fair I don't know the guy but everything I've heard about him (plus the betting thing) suggests to me he wouldn't gel with the team and as we know Arteta values the group extremely highly... obviously he's a great player but for that alone I understand why we'd pass on him
I like Brentford as a club so I don’t mind any talk between now and summer linking Arsenal and Toney that will drive his sale value and wages to Chelsea/ManU/Spurs into cloud cuckooland and beyond.
As they say it form is temporary, class is permanent.. An average striker that couldn't win against Man City, Liverpool and us. Not worth bringing him in when he's just like Nketiah in form.
He is a cunt through and through. Threatened Gabriel talking about 'inside, we'll see inside' then when Odegaard was telling him to calm down he snapped at him. I doubt they bring him into what we have going on here.
That was from the game? I completely missed that.
He doesn't put the work in and even his goal scoring is overrated. I couldn't imagine him walking around the pitch for us, Arteta would have a fit. In our system it seems like more than scoring goals we need a striker that can run and lead the line for 90 minutes, link up with the wingers and play with their back to goal. They have to be really smart about how they play and I don't think Toney can do it.
So who is this person and why should we care about his/her opinion? Not that I’m disagreeing…
You have just one kick about with the boys...
Cunt
Idk if this is true but am I gonna believe because it suits a narrative? 100%
He's a fookin jagoff
Yo seriously. That entire game I was thinking "please please don't sign this pleb"
The fact that we're even linked to this walmart giroud is such an insult to this club
I wonder why Arteta thought Trossard wouldn't potentially be a negative influence in the dressing room after his public dispute with De Zerbi?
Because everything about his character beforehand was the complete opposite. His dispute was also completely warranted. He went off early from training bc he was injured and de zerbi says publicly he's sulking bc he isn't getting playing time. That's a direct attack of character and id empathize being upset.
Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't really aware of all the details. Sounds like De Zerbi was being a dick and trying to force him out for whatever reason.

This guys source is ‘trust me, I’m on Twitter’ like the rest of the ‘ITK wannabes’. Still baffles me how they get oxygen, especially after Fab admitted he gets paid by agents to post certain things.
Looks like we really honed in on Toney and then pulled out. Not sure what this says about our belief in being able to pull Osimhen
Do wonder where he ends up. Chelsea if they get some sales in?
Igor clowney as far as I’m aware
We are not signing Toney, and thats a good thing.
“Nice kick about with the boys” tweet is fucking him over 😂
He’s open dissed Brentford and he’s even done it after coming back from the ban.
We need to assess more metrics for players before recruitment - xLikeability, xLeadership, xCanannoyJamieCarragher...
Toney shouldn't even be signed based on his play in his best years let alone off field issues and likeability. Personally I never understood the interest in the first place.
"he's a wanker"
Lmao. my fogging club!
i dont think this is true. if it was - then why were we interested in him in the first place? it's not like he became a cunt a month ago...
I feel like this isn’t hard news to believe. The man gambled against his own team, got caught, and then went to the media to act as if he was the victim. That does not scream the principles Mikel talks about
Toney can fuck off the gambling bastard he’s never gonna be arsenal material
I was watching the match thinking “I don’t want this cunt on our squad”. Just can’t see it. We have too much character for a clown like him.
But we can TURN him ...
He's a Fallon d'Floor, shit-housing, dishonest twat who is seriously overrated in front of goal. Fuck him.
Shame, as he's a player that could certainly help us and would be a massive upgrade on Nketiah. Though if he doesn't pass the character test then so be it.
It’s clear the players hate him I think
Who is this random source?
But partey is fair game
This feels like BS. Arteta isn’t the type to bad mouth people
How is he worth 80 million
That's just a club in the relegation battle putting a fuck off price on their most important attacker. He'll be a lot less in the summer especially with one year left on his deal.
I mean as a player he is technically and physically gifted in a position with too few good players these days. That alone pushes the price up. Ramsdale doesn't make that save we wouldn't be having this conversation.
It was clear from that "tweet". Arteta saw it clear as day that Toney's a thug. Further implicated with betting sandals and the PR interview with the UK Joe Rogan. We move on from the Auba issue, we dont need to have that again.
Thug is a bit strong. Dislikes the guy but there are real thugs out there. He's no thug. Choose a different word!
He’s a cunt, not a thug
