No abuse is acceptable.
KRONKE OUT stop abusing the fans
Ian Meechan
As a Gers fan I would have loved to have seen us play against you, but we weren't good enough in each game, however, good luck and I hope you go through to the next round.
Ricardo Kaka Sihotang
I feel he is doing a great job. Indeed this season Willian has not been able to show his true abilities, but I believe in the next season he will greatly contribute to Arsenal FC.
Stolesher
Every time Arsenal played Chelsea I used to admire his skills. I never even dreamed of having him in our team. Seems a bit difficult to have such a dramatic dip in form. His salary is also very nice for the job he is not doing. Nobody here condones racism or personal/family threats, all we care about is our players playing well. So play better, dumbass!
Louise Anne
What a lovely guy xxx
Seed Gunnerstv
Please we should wakeup so does guys Insult should please stop because it affects our players in pitch
Seed Gunnerstv
His a good player but we need to wakeup

You are more than welcome to leave the team and steal money from another club

I would like willian to comment on football. The only thing I see being done well at Arsenal is the social media. The football has been abysmal. Yes there is no room for any of this nonsense. But it seems like Arsenal is spending a lot of time and effort on practice videos, player profiles and all that other stuff when the football is going from bad to worse.

Just be lucky there isnāt any fans in the stadiums because right now this amateur team full of overpaid players would be getting booāed and shouted at
Soumyajit Ghosh
Just because this is Arsenal people think they will not be able to win. Think about Barcelona are they winning no I believe. Think about Liverpool are they in their best form helll noo...!! So why do we bombard with negetive thoughts that Arsenal will not win. Arsenal are in a transition period which Liverpool Mancity were also in couple of years back. I am an arsenal fan since 2002. Have seen many ups and down. That does not change me cheering for Arsenal anytime anybday. Arsenal will win they have to they need to. For the recored Arsenal the only team who went an entire season undefeated. No other big clubs could not do but Arsenal has done.

Imagine racially abusing a footballer stupid fansš¤”

Willian may be a top bloke, but is football this season has been crap. No point in hiding from the truth, why does Arteta pick him? We should have Martinelli in side instead, or Pepe, even an out of Form Aubameyang. They are all much, much better than Willian.
SOFYZALAZ
As Arsenal fan all i can say is to Willian welcome to Arsenal world of toxic š
Zohaib Chaudhri
HEāD BETTER START TONIGHT! I donāt want to see Aubameyang within 10 miles of the ground
KimZ
Such a nice guy Iāve never hated you bro just hasnāt worked out still a great footballer
Zohaib Chaudhri
I wasnāt at all disappointed with Willianās signing. I like him a lot. Although he was extremely poor and I was SORT OF ready to move on from him, BUT.......the ABUSE he got from this TOXIC FANBASE who only back the āFASHIONABLEā players (Xhaka, Holding, Bellerin, Lacazette, Luiz, Have been COCKING UP FOR YEARS. Yet Willian is the scapegoat. NOT FOR ME)...... Has driven me to support him. I WELCOME HIM at Arsenal and go and put MUD on the faces of these idiots
TheBobes
Journalist: "Perhaps Arsenal players should take matters into their own hands?"
Yes, let's incite violence... Should have kicked that journalist out straight away.

Arteta let play Martinelli from start. He need to play MORE, he is our young future
Tristan Edwards
How stupid do you have to be to abuse a player for playing badly by threatening their family? I've also been quite disappointed at numerous points this season by Willian's performances on the pitch, but it's so weird for a person to have a personal hatred for the player. I would only ever criticise their professional performance as a sportsman. There is a very clear line being crossed.
mokl
Good luck:)
Brett Mostert
Such a nice bloke! Very sad to hear about the abuse :(

Never mind Willian, you'll surely come good mate... even tho this club has given us endless pain (and occasionally joy) this season, I assure you that all will be forgiven if we win the UEL, coz it won't just be our first modern European Silverware but will also take us to the UCL next year.
And I don't think it's too much to ask given the fact that our path to the UEL Finals is a very winnable won and we have the capability as well as the resources to bring the trophy home. COYG!

i dont agree with what has happened. But u have not helped at all, You have made things worse by saying the things u said about your love for Chelsea, Awful signing get rid of ASAP. The abuse your gamily gets its wrong, But from a football point. You really havent done a lot and deserve to be criticised at times

There's no way privacy laws will be altered to that extreme. A simple solution would be to have an option (or just remove it) to disable messages from people who aren't followed by you.
Robert Flanagan
This is where football must do more. From top to bottom football is allowed to be abusive and racist. Its not good enough in 2021
Antonio Luna
Estoy en contra del racismo, pero seamos francos William ya no juegas a nada... Ojala te vendan..
Gwen
Good on you Willian for confronting racism, I am so proud of you Willian. Iām so glad that Thierry Henry disengaged from all social media because they are NOT addressing it! I hope Arsenal takes it seriously! It is a SERIOUS issue today! šš¼

We should all fight against racism and online abuse. if a player plays bad we can provide constructive criticism, I think they already know when the have played bad. There is no reason to be threatening them and their family or saying hateful words. if you are a human being and a true football fan you would never do that.

COYG Don't give up! show what this team can do and prove on the pitch, then all the jerks will vanish like mist

Feel a bit sorry for the man after watching/listening to this.

He is really a good player and I'm happy for him to move to arsenal

When is enough for Arteta?
- Destroy Ćzil career. Nketiah Willock and Bologun is getting rid while Good player like Torreira and Guendouzi is long gone.
- Worst team performance in 50 years
- Auba got atleast top3 goal scorer in EPL every year since he came, destroy him buy bring him back to chase the ball and help left back.
- Arteta has worst record than F.Lampard but he still has job.
- No proven records. Only assistant manager.
- Has done tiny good thing to Arsenal compare to those legends Ljungberg, Vieira, Henry and etc.
- How Edu instead of Marc Overmars.
- He think Arsenal is just one step for him to move to Barcelona, Madrid or even Spanish international, but the question is, Is there any La Liga team right now want this Arteta.
thedoctormaster Louis
Nketah is not good enough for arsenal
Mahamed Yoolax
William hes good
Les Pearson
i cannot understand 2 things about this social media abuse. Firstly: what these single celled creatures think they are achieving., do they think insulting/threatening/abusive behaviour will make a player be better? News flash-it won't. Secondly social media companies and tracking these buffoons: It is easy. I ran gaming servers for years. Everyone who joined those servers instantly had their I.P. and their MAC address logged. Their game play was monitored by the server taking screen shots of what they could see on their screens every 30 seconds. Hackers got banned almost instantly. Repeat offenders could change their onscreen names, spoof mac and IP and still be tracked back to their original account. If they were also dumb enough to join our game chat forums i now had a MAC, IP and email address....That was enough for me to send them a picture of their front door from google earth! So for these tech companies to say it's hard is total rubbish! Everyone needs to be held accountable. That includes the tech firms. Rant over LOL

Willian is such a. Humble guy but he barely gets enough playing time which sucks for the guy

i know this feeling willian ,but the good thing you have the most assist for arsenal this season

Maybe if you didnāt play like sh*t for OUR team maybe you receive āracial abuseā because I havenāt even seen any toward him or any footballer plus thatās just how the world is everyone faces abuse everyday so sorry if I donāt sympathize with a multi millionaire about his āproblemsā everyday people including myself encounter this everyday and I donāt see the media covering it and asking me questions, thatās because nobody cares so why am I gonna care about you
TotallyThomas
Willian mate it is painful going through something you haven't been through something you feel embarrassed of just forget of it for now ā¤ļø we love you in our first team squad

Good on ya buddy, terrible the stuff u guys are subject to. Stay strong and keep trying

Racism will not stop in football because it is deeply imbedded in society.

the 23 people with a thumbs down on this video really need to take a good long look at themselves in the mirror and grow up have a little compassion for your fellow human being and their families regardless as to where you come from and what skin tone you have

Seems like a lovely guy
Hope he starts 2mo
And scores .

Everything is about race, grow a pair you snowflakes. Its part of life deal with it. I have been racially abused countless times, i just laugh and give it back double, it makes you stronger not weak.

Taking the knee is good. But if you want to make a big fast impact on racism. Try getting all rappers to stop shouting the N-word 100 times in every song.

I haven't always been a fan of his performances on the pitch, but I've never criticized or attacked him as a human being. That's just wrong!

i hate when the people use the social media for personal interests not respecting at the people. Being honest the religion, political ideology, culture, sexual preferences deoend's of any person. Never most to be criticise or discriminate please the world of football it's so beautiful
Asanda mkhize
Donāt forget he has the most assists this season
Tropical Land
Nope
Saul Ignacio Alcala
mys self another persons deserve's respect, the social media most to be use to report the infanbtil abuse, or bullying in offices or any job not for discrimination
Saul Ignacio Alcala
the social media most to be use for a good actions, union respect focus at fight with the poverty, not for attack at any men or women or use for evil actions
Saul Ignacio Alcala
being honest Willian it's a good footballer a real guner iam agree with their testimonys in this conferenge
Saul Ignacio Alcala
if you criticise a person for their sexual preference, for their choice of religion, for her skin color you are like a caveman so mutch arrogant than other persons because you are not showing respect for anyone ofr for your own self
Saul Ignacio Alcala
the racism it's a cancer in my respecteable and humble opinion we need to erradicate that Word in the world of sports specially in the football
Gunn Luv
Jim at the end had the best question. Rubbish Arsenal, Sort the Club out, or all of you get out.
Gunn Luv
Why do you not ask racist Boris Johnson those questions. Do you ask yourself those same questions. Maybe you have some solutions, or do you all prefer complicity
jamiejamking
exactly and what is the point in criticizing william when the manager signed him and picks him to play. William doesnt choose to play bad on purpose but the manager chooses to play him
Rudy Botha
I stand by you Willian!!! Keep going sure your form will get better. Racism is shameful.

I see the idea of having ID on social media being floated a lot. But that won't work at all. People are loudly racist on facebook with their name, job, and picture on the website. There are also situations where people have valid reasons to be anonymous online.
A few months back Ian Wright got abuse. The guy was caught. Went to court, and then didn't even get a slap on wrist.
max barber
Some tough questions from the journalists jesus christ
cristyoutube 21
stop the hate on him
jidf32
*AFTV and TroopzTV are one of the channels that perpetuates the hate towards guys like Willian.... They claim they are just critical of players but that is not the truth. Being critical is criticizing the performances of players. They start with the abuse and the moaning just when they see him warming up or being subbed on, not after he's played*
traida111
been on good form recently. i see potential, when he play with confidence he's great to watch
Hamse Mohamed
Big up Willian deserves respect from everyone
Rohan Shah
Mesut Ozil who served this club for years...got way more abuse from Arsenal fans..EVEN WHEN HE WANTED TO RAISE HIS VOICE AGAINST RACISM TOWARDS HIS COMMUNITY in CHINA ..ARSENAL IGNORED HIS CAUSE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN THEIR BUSINESS.......SO WHAT'S WITH THIS HYPOCRISY...? Arsenal will only support NO RACISM unless until it doesn't ruin their business

I wish Willian would find his form, I would also like him to be more open. Does he believe his form will , or when it may return, what is it he thinks he has lost as to not being in the starting line up?

Aftv bullies has honestly delayed willians success at arsenal.

thedoctormaster Louis bellerin has openly called them out. Auba supporting them is poor leadership. Same way he didnāt turn up for NLD on time and broke lockdown rules. Itās not good enough

HEY , Willian ... take an example from Granit Xhaka, just be a man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone needs to callout racist comments, when ever we hear abuse, my wife and I have seen it, heared it, and it also comes in subtle comments. If i went round hitting people in the face I would soon be in court, it is no real difference in that its in my wifeās face and is a FU to me.
