I’d agree with your point @Ahmer50x if it were a private message that had been leaked, it’s inappropriate but it’s a joke between two friends who both enjoyed it, which is fine.
But by posting it on social media to literally thousands of kids and impressionable people to see, it’s no longer a private joke that only Mendy can take offence too- or more importantly learn from.
Kids and impressionable people need a clear line drawing between what should and shouldn’t be said/done, particularly in public, IMO this clearly shouldn’t have been done in public and that line has to be drawn.
I can understand where @Ahmer50x is coming from, but that way of looking at things tends to ignore the fact that B.Silva has half a million followers, with a large percentage of those followers likely being impressionable children. Thousands upon thousands of kids look up to footballers like B.Silva as a role model. This is probably the third or fourth time I've said this now, but if just one of those impressionable children now thinks it is okay to compare his black classmates to a racist cartoon, then that's one too many, and this, imo, has to be factored into the situation. Just because Mendy wasn't offended by it, that doesn't mean that these little black school kids who are potentially now on the end of the same "jokes" due to B.Silva's tweet aren't either.
Should've been 3, maybe 4 before HT with the chances we missed... so first half we did slap them, second half City dominated & we did a structured disciplined but City were more controlling second half.

30 mins you played very well on the counter. But City had chances too. They were very wasteful in the final third, usually you give them that much possession close to your goal and they'll punish you
Angelino was literally getting burned every 1v1 though. How was he not subbed off earlier I don't know. Rodri was poor too and Jesus is basically Welbeck when he has a chance to score

Let see how well you do against them in a couple weeks.
Just a week away and its at the Emirates so should be easier in theory

Did you take that as me thinking we have a chance against them? The only question is whether we lose by single or double figures

No Aguero so no double figures but if he was fit...

A bit, but let's be honest City have a make shift back four and only one fit Striker. Anything could happen

If we were even playing remotely well maybe. If we put on a masterclass vs West Ham on Monday then I might have some hope.

Have you watched Arsenal of late? Ole's won more league matches the past 3 days than they've won in 2 months. They're awful.

How do they get this lucky in the draws every year?
Luck has nothing to do with it
Well done to the club for issuing a statement so quickly. They deserve the bans for life.
Retro: "slapped"
🤔

Better than losing to **** Brighton at home
