Declan Rice: Dent it like Declan

I was with your Rice campaign, but seeing you ride out for Merino makes me question the whole thing man.

I think leave Rice alone.
I mean you don't have to agree with me, it doesn't make a difference. Arteta agrees with me and ultimately that's what matters.

...and then He woke up sweating !!!
Not going to hold the header against Rice, he’s not a forward and it wasn’t the easiest chance. He got it on target and it wasn’t a worldy save, fair play to the keeper.

Gunner come out of the closet any day now…
Yep. He'd be sitting right next to his fellow 100+ mil Irishman Grealish.

I don't understand why this joke is even acceptable. If you made this joke about a ton of players you'd be labeled as a racist piece of **** yet people keep calling Dec - who was born in ****ing London - Irish. I mean ffs imagine if someone with a straight face said "I'd love for Arsenal to sign Boniface so he can link up with fellow Nigerian Saka".

Criticize him as a footballer instead of this dumb **** please.

So? Tons of players play for whatever NT they are eligible for. Lookman didn't stop being English because he decided to play for Nigeria ffs, it was just the team that gave him the chance.

Specifically calling him Irish is just such petty garbage you'd expect to see from Brexit pushing West Ham fans. ****ing do better.

He's obviously English when you hear him speak, no one is legitimately saying he's Irish or using it in a negative way lol...it's just funny how he did kinda snake the Irish system when England came calling...plus I am Northern Irish, if I can't laugh at this then what can I laugh at!

Also I do think it will always be at least a little different if the person is white or black to be honest, and I say that as a white guy.

Feel depending on the undertones of what a person says and the general structure of society, a white person will almost never feel justifiably as discriminated against as a non white person... don't think the two should ever be compared personally.

Of course it's used negatively, otherwise why even mention it when he's clearly English?

I don't disagree with what you're saying tbh, I just find it so childish and pathetic to keep using this thing against him when he was born and raised in England.

Again, I'd expect it from salty opposition fans but.. wait actually nevermind that is most of A-M at this point.

Please stop putting in these heroic performances at 8, stop being so solid there. I need you at 6 Declan and you're only encouraging Mikel.

So so good.

Why do people so desperately want him play as a 6 when he’s much better as an 8? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Given our use of him, and the fact he cost 100m, he might be a worse signing than Havertz.

He was in my opinion our best player last and rightly was for the nominees for PL player of season. Although Rice hasn't been the level he was last season, he still been one of best CMS in league and one our top 5 best players so far this season.
