No, they should shut up, thank their lucky stars and get on with it.So they should just stop doing what they love to do because Yer Da's like yourself are mad at them for making a living and more out of it?

This is hilarious. Truly. Point me in the direction of the ‘most popular fans in the league’ chart, compiled by all the lovely, wholesome, morally superior, hypocritical, sanctimonious wankstains that make up the vast majority of the football fan population on earth, so I can take a nice steaming hot slash all over it. Hells bells... Really?The abuse of Xhaka was disgraceful. If Arsenal supporters don't improve their attitude very soon they'll find themselves to be widley acknowledged as the worst, most unlikeable supporters in the Premier League.
Thank their lucky stars they are physically able, is what I’m getting at for crying out loud. I’m not suggesting they fluked a football career, even if it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of fantasy in the case of this footballer.They don’t have a lucky star. They worked hard every day to get there and deserve it. That jealous people like you think they deserve online abuse because they make money is disgusting and one of the big problems of today’s game.
Ndidi would be a dreamWe are better off selling both torreira and xhaka, not suited to pl. Need someone like fernandinho or ndidi
Boo hoo.
Going against the tide here but Xhaka needs to man the **** up. Some nasty disgusting **** got said by some weirdo losers on social media?
So what?! **** em’ probably weren’t even Arsenal fans anyway. You dont have to use social media if it “gets you down maaan”. Just delete it or ignore it if it bothers you. Dont see what any of it really has to do with that moment in the game anyways. Yeah fans were booing? Man up! Do something about it. This is supposed to be the arsenal captain here...
Could you ever imagine Tony Adams getting butthurt like that.
People still cannot get their head around the fact that Xhaka's reaction was a result of an accumulation of things. It's bad enough that football is stressful with loads of pressure but he's had to deal with abuse to his family, wife, newborn on social media as well as being constantly scapegoated, jeered on numerous occasions and it all just boiled over last weekend. It was the straw that broke the camels back. He was probably bottling everything up for long that it just exploded in him and for that moment he completely lost it.
But now we've people going "oh well he should have just manned up and got on with it". People have manned up and got on with things while dealing with stress and dark thoughts and it hasn't ended well. People have acted like nothings wrong and not given a hint to anyone that they were struggling until one day it all comes out in the worst possible way. Maybe ask Gary Speed's widow if she was happy that Gary just got on with things and manned up instead of opening up because he knew just like we all know, as evidence in this forum that even now men aren't allowed to open up. They're expect to just take abuse, deal with stress, man up and get on with things regardless of how they're feeling or coping. Maybe it will take another Gary Speed or Enke moment for people to think to themselves "hold on maybe we better start taking footballers mental well being seriously here".
Look we all get passionate about football, but for me a footballers physical and mental well being is the most important thing. **** the results, it's not actually important. Maybe it's about time we started looking at footballers as human beings and just because they're well paid it doesn't mean they're bullet proof, it doesn't mean that stress doesn't get to them, it doesn't mean that they can't get emotional just because they earn a lot of money. I've seen countless examples over the last few years of how money means nothing if you're struggling mentally. Chris Cornell, Avicci, Chester Bennington, Robin Williams. All of those people having a lot of money didn't prevent them from going over the edge.
Like people need to seriously just give it a rest with this whole macho man up BS. It's absolute nonsense and I don't believe people actually believe it, they're just putting on a front thinking it's how they should behave.
What I will say it's getting more and more obvious that most of the abuse comes from people who're envious of footballers or are deeply unhappy with their own lives. Sometimes a mixture of both.
Hearing rumours that he wants to leave in January. We won. Although as much as I despise Xhaka the footballer it doesn't feel like a clean victory when he's effectively been booed out of the club.
Wtf has Chris Cornell and all the other you list, hanging himself got to do with Xhaka throwing the armband down and telling fans to **** off because he was booed? Or are you diagnosing him with clinical depression from behind your keyboard?People still cannot get their head around the fact that Xhaka's reaction was a result of an accumulation of things.

Give it time, he hasn’t even left yet. I’m sure we’ll be able to replace the coffee machine in the canteen with the proceeds. Relax.It’s no victory. Nothing will change if we get rid of Xhaka and don’t buy an improvement.
We basically hounded out a player and we’re still sh*t. A victory would be selling Xhaka and using that money on an even better player.

LIke it adds weight to the defence. Bottom of the barrel stuff.Ever since the whole mental health boom online everyones become psychologists and diagnose everyone with mental illness.
