Xhaka and his yellow for time-wasting against Leeds, apparently.
Bit odd, as really could have had a red for the challenge a bit earlier.......

Problem here is the Stat boys figured Xhaka out ages ago and I know people who bet on him to get carded.
His yellow and red count is always highlighted whenever the Racing Post preview our games and I’ve even seen them put it up as a bet.
Actually tomorrow’s game they haven’t…because he’s suspended so we have:
Inside info
Arsenal
Penalty taker Alexandre Lacazette
Free-kick wizard Martin Odegaard
Card magnet Albert Sambi Lokonga
Aerial threat Gabriel
Their tips for tomorrow…if anyone is interested

Ah, was hoping you'd help on this one. https://twitter.com/FoG_BLoG/status/1472287642863783940 this is what they're referring toQuote:

The actually amount bet on Xhaka is way lower…probably between 15 to 20k.
Pretty standard betting especially for Xhaka.
It looks from the graph that his price hit a high of 3/1 and someone put 11 euros on followed by further small bets.
Problem here…it’s betfair so it could be 1 person or thousands. Doesn’t even have to be a person…could just be a bot that’s been preset to mop up a specific market and cash out at pre set prices. Could also be other bookmakers cleaning up their own positions ie they took bets at 6/4 and then covered them at higher prices on betfair.
It’s also small market with low liquidity so you will see price fluctuations.
I could do that easy on my own…just pick a nice quiet race in the middle of nowhere USA at 2am and it’s just me and at most a half a dozen people betting.
What I understand of that is that the ref was bent. Thanks TQuote:

Word is this case has been dropped…was right…bookmakers upset people made money on Xhaka getting booked.
