Wow that is unbelievable. We need to start looking at more than these players footballing ability when it comes to a move to united. I m not saying Antony did it, but such an allegations can't go unheard. When you are a famous footballer, you need to know who you surround yourself with.
Antony under investigation by Brazilian authorities for domestic abuse | Back in the squad

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Your post was fine, have a lie down anyway though because you sound close to a meltdown fella
This is an astonishingly silly thing to say. She's abhorrent.
Inevitable the pressure will come and continue to grow. Media smell blood again & have nothing much else to do in the international break so will be on the bandwagon, on top of whatever legitimate calls there are from abuse charities, victims and so on. Innocent until proven guilty is a thing of the past on some topics now, at least in the court of pubic opinion, especially so for people in the limelight - and we are so very very much in the limelight. We might not like it, it isn't really right (the presumption of innocent until guilty exists in law for good reason), but it's the way of the world now.
If anything else, this needs to serve as a salutory lesson to all the young players coming through - if you step out of line or get involved with the wrong person you can be really in the poop. I hope to god our club is pushing that on the youth teams.

Losing him to false allegations would be awful but if he did it, feck him.
In context, until we know, football doesn't matter.
im just going with the football context, since we really dont know much at the moment.
It’s no good blaming Rachel Riley, she’s not the one allegedly beating and attempting to rape people.
It’s a bit of a nothing article. It quotes the group that protested against Greenwood’s return and Rachel Riley which understandably have taken a stance on this. I agree the EPL should get involved in these things and take the decision out of the hands of clubs but they probably can’t - the vast majority of these cases don’t involve the player being named. The club have referred to Antony’s statement in response - I still don’t think he’ll be suspended unless he is arrested or charged which for me is still the right approach.

Mob rule, wooo.
Rachel Riley has been spot on in her criticisms of the club recently. And why the feck would you want Antony publicly representing us whilst this shite is going on?
Not saying he's out for good, but come the feck on. Not many companies/organizations would allow public facing personnel to carry on working whilst under these sort of legal investigations.

He is still innocent until proven guilty. Scrutiny is just the other side of the coin to fame. The press are scum in parts but they courted too. That sort of profile has pros and cons. I'd fecking hate it.
And you final message is, don't assault women, it's bad for your career?

Irrespective of her thoughts on the situation, feck Rachel Riley horrible person.
Avoided the caf for a few days after the Arsenal capitulation and come on to see this. Not laughing at the allegations but...c'mon, I thought seeing Harry and Evans commanding our defense was going to be the biggest black eye for awhile. I couldn't have been more wrong.

jayyysusDamned out of your own mouth. Thanks for saving us the trouble.
Because she doesn't like deviant criminal footballers?
I’ve been in and around some footballers (not famous ones) when I was playing and the average person would be utterly amazed at the adoration and idolatry they are held in by regular blokes/supporters.
It’s a different life, full stop. Everything begins and ends with football.
It’s not unreasonable to assume that if you have been caught up in that since you were x years old and didn’t have a strong family/guidance around you that you would develop some unhealthy attitudes

Easy to "define" when you have no stake in it.
But not like it's the first time she lies to gather attention from the angry mobs
There's people who legitimately think Rachel Riley and Greenwood's partner are the actual problem here.
What lies? She's just a C list celeb giving her opinion. Why has she annoyed all you delicate souls so much? It's getting a bit weird.
Yes, obviously. Well done.
She has carved out a sub career as an influencer in current events.
The club need to do what they believe they think they should do?
They need to make rational but decisive decision and not be influenced and come under pressure from external factors.
Arsenal have not with a player they currently employ.
Uhhh no? That's a strange take or misunderstanding of what I meant. My final message was I hope that we are talking to our youth about how to handle themselves as people by using this as an example. That whatever they may think has happened in the past, what they have heard player x has gotten away with, wont wash now. They have to be cleaner than clean or else it can easily come back on them. I'd rather hope the don't assault women - full stop - is obvious?
Grand. Was just clearing it up. Don't do it because its morally reprehensible. Not because you'll get into trouble.
Everyone’s opinion is informed by their upbringing/faith/nationality/whatever . Dismissing their opinion purely because of this is what I object to. And what you were attempting to do in that post. Re-read what you wrote. I’m sure you’ll see what I’m getting at.
fecking mind boggling.
Equally silence when you didn't do it isn't a good look either.
It's breathtaking isn't it. You've got players associated to our club doing unspeakably horrible things, yet some posters' ire is against a brainiac presenter.
Surely the anger should be directed at our allegedly violent, idiotic players. I’m concerned we somehow keep employing players of this ilk.
Great, just what we needed.
This is what has a lot of grown men throwing a fit in anger. I pretty mild tweet, with 300 likes.

They just mistakenly clicked from their Incel homepage to wrong forums.
Unless Antony is charged with something then he will be suspended. Otherwise we would be setting bad precedent that our players can be suspended without any credible evidence. Dont think Rachel views are of any significance here. Or for that matter anyone else. You cant play with people’s life on the basis of tabloid news with some pictures. It needs to be more credible than that

Lies, mischief, whatever you call it.
It's fine to call out DV but you have to think twice when the person had a history of stirring up shit with agenda-driven motive.
It's the last person I'd want to be the face of the club in a time like this (to answer the other poster)
Rachel Riley is a dickhead but that’s a separate issue
"Get them off" is an incredibly loaded phrase. If their wealth gets them defense lawyers who provide excellent defenses in court, introducing valid reasonable doubt, that's not "getting them off".
Again that's her opinion. And not one I agree with or that has anything to do with this.
Why is she triggering such rage on you lot?
I meant it to be loaded. Privilege often extends to the law.
They wont obviously, but the club should show a bit of actual backbone this time and not do anything unless he's charged somewhere.
This is nothing like the Greenwood case with the player caught in the act at the very least saying awful things that threw the club into disrepute.
How long will the Brazilian police take to investigate this before charging or dropping it? Another saga running for years?
