da brdice: Granit Xhaka’s time at Arsenal could be well and truly up.
da heads bet: That seemed to be anything but the case a few weeks ago, of course, when he was given the captaincy by manager Unai Emery after a secret ballot from the players to decide the new skipper.
However, as he was booed when being subbed off against Crystal Palace at the weekend, he responded to the crowd by shouting an expletive and cupping his hand to his ear.
An unpopular figure at the Emirates Stadium, it will be hard for him to recover from this.
