FA is investigating a yellow card received by an Arsenal player.

Rumour is that its Xhaka vs Leeds, he got a yellow card at the end of the game for time wasting..and his mate made a shit load of money of it. But then again, odds on Xhaka getting a yellow...how much did he have to bet to make money on that?

Edit: 65k euro was the bet. Nice.

In fairness, betting that Xhaka would get a yellow card seems like easy money. Dam it I forgot how to get the little yellow card after his name 😆

There were actually jokes about how Xhaka wanted Xmas off in that game because he was doing some wierd things. Went in on Raphinia's ankles in what could have been a red, squared up to someone and then tried to trip someone over on the half way line shortly after and somehow got away with it all. Then gets a yellow for time wasting in a game when we're 4-1 up...

Betting on Xhaka! to get a yellow is like betting on a match to run at least 90 minutes.

Yep, and there are talks on twitter for a few months now from people who are saying he tells his friends when to bet on him getting yellow and that a lot of people have made big money on him. Don't know what to think, is he really that dumb?

I'd say in recent times Xhaka! Is more likely.

One day can’t go without some sort of drama at Arsenal ffs

Too much noise around Xhaka, get him out in the summer.

Is he now our longest serving player?

I think so, unless you count the guys who have come through the academy. He's the one who's been involved in the first team the longest.

Amazon show is going to be fucking epic at this rate...

There were no parties at number 10.

As noted above betting on xhaka to be booked isn't that odd, heck I've done it to success. But if it is with the amount mentioned it does look suspicious unless the guy is laying down that much every week. Wait to see what the investigation finds but if it applies to any player at the club and collision then that should be the end of them really.

When I first saw the headline I thought they were investigating a corrupt referee... but no.
Suspension for something like this has to be huge, could force our hand at last.

Makes sense why he keeps getting carded.

Something poetic about a yellow card ending Xhaka's Arsenal career.

Think it’s actually Elneny!

So does getting carded on purpose to cheat the bookies count as a non-negotiable?

Gurgen

Why didn’t I think of betting on Xhaka to be booked..

If he's found guilty, can we terminate his contract? If so, I hope they do.

Very dodgy
