Wow I remember being so suspicious of him this game. I remember seeing a stupid pointless challenge as well.
This smear campaign against Granit reeks. No fan believes Granit had anything to do with such fixing, one of the most professional footballers around.
Have you ever bet on him getting booked?A 52k bet on Xhaka to receive a yellow card in the dying minutes miraculously comes in, and the only guy under suspicion is… the punter! It may never be proven beyond doubt unless recorded communications can be produced as evidence or somebody wants to testify, but as it stands, the evidence is clear enough for me. It’s very likely Xhaka was in on it and he’s guilty. The old Arsenal would move him on swiftly.
No, but I know a few who did. Read this thread created on 18th December on the Betfair forum.Have you ever bet on him getting booked?
Would not surprise me tbh, always found it odd how he is demonized relentlessly. Think English football has degenerated to a agent game now, if you have the right agent, particularly a English agent you'll be praised by the media even if you are a duffer. Xhaka has a small Swiss based football agency representing him with zero influence in EnglandIt’s like they want to drive him out of England..
He didn't do it for himself he probably did it for his mate.These people are missing the obvious. Why would he do it? Do you honestly think he’d risk everything for money that he earns in only 2 weeks?
It’s crazy. And dangerous. His career’s over if he was found guilty. I mean, anyone who scams and steals from betting companies would be a hero but the authorities wouldn’t allow it, he’d be punished severely.
He’s completely innocent.
So many people trying to bring him down… the fake speeding court story, papers leaking where he lives and now this. It’s like they want to drive him out of England.
What’s most striking about this whole thing? FA was investigating it for 6 months and have passed it on to the NCA to investigate for who knows how long, all costing a lot of money. All this done because betting companies lost a little money. Do you think they’d go anywhere near this length in the case of abuse, racism etc? No chance.
There was no obvious passing option on the freekick, and time wasting is a common strategy under Arteta when ahead. Also he was sliding in all game and the "suspicious" bet was on him getting a yellow 80+ minutes in, so if it was a conspiracy he clearly was not in on itHe didn't do it for himself he probably did it for his mate.
Either way if you think that was normal then you're just stupid. Waiting close to half a minute to take a free kick while 3 goals up in the last minutes of the game but nothing suspicious to see? Bull ****
