Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te pakiwaitara o Arsenal, ko Paul Merson, i whakawakia ki te heke iho, ā, i whakaae ia he hē tana whakahē i te karanga a Ingarangi ki a Andros Townsend. I puta mai te winger o Tottenham mai i te paepae ki te tohu i te whakataurite me te whiwhinga whakamiharo i te tukinga 1-1 o te Turei me Itari i Turin. Ko te whakautu tino pai i muri i te korero a Merson i tana pou Sky Sports: 'Ki te taea e Andros Townsend te whakauru (te kapa Ingarangi) ka whakatuwherahia e ia mo tetahi.' I eke a Andros Townsend ki te whiringa taurite a Ingarangi i te tukinga hoa 1-1 ki a Itari i Turin i te po o te Turei. Kei te whakanui a Townsend i tana whiu me ona hoa kapa o Tottenham Hotspur a Ryan Mason (taha maui) me Kyle Walker.

Kāore mātou i te tīpako i ngā kaitākaro e pai ana te tākaro mō ō rātou karapu <unk> i tangohia ia i muri i te 30 meneti i tērā wiki ki United.

I muri mai ka tweet a Townsend ki ana 285,000 kaiwhaiwhai: 'Kare i kino mo te kaitakaro e tika ana kia 'kore i te taha o te roopu' ay @PaulMerse?' I kī a Merson i te Rāapa, he harikoa ia i te mea i whakakitea he hē ki a ia e te tangata 23 tau te pakeke. I kii a Merson ki a Sky Sports: 'He whakaaro noa iho, a ko taku whakaaro i tangohia ia i muri i te hawhe haora i Manchester United i mua o Roy Hodgson, no reira kaore ia i uru ki te roopu. Engari he tika ki a ia, ko taku whakaaro anake taku, ā, i ētahi wā e hē ana ahau, i ētahi wā e tika ana ahau. 'Ki te hē au, ka whakaarahia e au oku ringa. Kāore he raruraru ki ahau i te mahi i tērā - ko au tonu te tuatahi ki te whakaae ina hē ahau. 'Ehara i te mea e matakitaki ana ahau i te tumanako kaore ia e eke ki Ingarangi, he tino koa ahau ki a ia me te purei tika ki a ia <unk>...
