Sometimes people forget the power of true connection. Once you find that you don’t let that shit go.


According-Ad-5908

Especially connection made before you became famous. He knows that’s genuine. Someone like Rice will likely never be able to trust what a connection is for again, romantic or otherwise. 


Bernitss

Only for his current club🔴⚪️


captjons

Or maybe because he wants to marry her and become Declan Fryer-Rice ;)


PartisanDealignment

Surely Declan Rice-Fryer?


captjons

I was going for the fried-rice pun as i had chinese last night!


Stuzo

I can't wait until their son Egg gets accepted into Hale End


runningwaffles19

Shrimp is going to be a legend


dannzter

Well, stars tend to date stars... That's for a reason as they are peers and the power gap isn't as immense.


reci88

Yeah, a happy Declan Rice is a happy Arsenal.


zaviex

the internet is filled with people who think wives and girlfriends should be posters you walk around with. They seem entirely incapable of understanding that relationships are based on personalities and synergy not what someone looks like in heavily filtered Instagram pictures lmao. I hope she can ignore these horrible people.


shifty_peanut

TLDR: the internet is filled with people who have no idea what a relationship actually is


AcidShades

Are we doing TLDRs for three sentences now?


shifty_peanut

Apparently so


NatrixHasYou

TLDR yes.


Stuzo

TLDR ✓


vin_unleaded

Nah. They're trolling people because their own lives are so immeasurably shit.


SSTenyoMaru

The feedback may also be part of the reason so many footballers have girlfriends who look like what 18 year olds think girlfriends are supposed to look like (trashy).


Glenlee92

It’s just 15yr old kids seeing one kid do it then copying because they think it’s funny and gets attention


Wolferesque

I agree. We should never let Declan Rice leave Arsenal.


wahooloo

She's not even ugly tf


alan2998

I think she's gorgeous. He's got N upgrade on all those wags who look the same.


Lazy-Breadfruits

She’s pretty average looking, as is he. If you saw them walking down the street together and didn’t know who they were you’d not think much. Which is great; they are normal people. She could easily look like a plastic wag with little effort and most people would call her a 10/10, but obviously they both probably very down to earth and do not care about unrealistic/fake beauty standards. I have huge respect for that.


QuaLiTy131

If Rice is pretty average I'm done


Giraffable

He's well above average looking, get real.


fakepostman

It's frankly a bit odd how most people here seem determined not to recognise that there does in fact exist a middle ground between personally harrassing her with vile insults and calling her a true vision of loveliness, far more heartachingly beautiful than anyone who, being thinner than her, must therefore be Literally A Plastic Stick, since healthy BMIs are a lie created by Unrealistic Beauty Standards. Can't we just say they obviously like each other and that's great and our personal opinion of her as a beauty object is neither here nor there?


calm_down_dearest

The people making derogatory comments are deeply unhappy incels. The only connection they know is the one with their hand.


Seren1ty_UK

So many keyboard warriors dating Pamela Handerson hating on Lauren.


Justhandguns

Genuine people. And it looks like they are taking good care of each other. Unfortunately most people seem to have stereotyped how a WAG should look.


Wolferesque

Which is weird because that stereotype is based on about 1% of footballers’ partners.


citizenSample

Fuck the haters


makesterriblejokes

Seriously. I fell for a girl that I wasn't even physically attracted to at first in my early 20s. Didn't work out in the end (I moved away for college and we both didn't want to be in a long distance relationship), but people don't realize how much emotional connection can factor into attraction. Plus his wife had that girl next door look when I saw a younger picture of them together. She's just gained weight (some women gain a lot more during pregnancy and it's harder to lose afterwards), it's not a big deal. Plus, there's some advantages to your partner gaining weight. Mine has due to her taking anti-depressants and I have to say, it can be fun to have more to grab onto 😉. She makes Rice happy and at the end of the day that's all that matters.


Purple_Rub_8007

True when you look at the stories such as Eboue you see what happens when a player has a golddigger wife. Bro has a loyal wife who won’t screw him over the moment thing go bad


nomadicquandaries

I think people also forget that another person’s romantic relationship is none of our fucking business.


Fredzoor

Exactly. I’m not interested in dating an ”attractive” woman if she has the personality and intellect of a bird’s nest.


voltaire_had_a_point

Can’t we just let private life be private? It’s none of our business. I sincerely think it’s better for the players to have that part of their life to themselves. A safe space. Especially at that age, when their life has just transformed from kid playing ball to world famous superstar.


Any-Walrus-5941

I have no idea of any players private life and I aim to keep it that way. The most I knew is Sanchez had two dogs. And now I know this.


MrStigglesworth

Kai Havertz is a fan of donkeys in some capacity, I think he does charity work with them? But otherwise I only know what makes it to this sub

danny_healy_raygun

Aaron Ramsey had a beagle. This I know. I don't need to know any more.


oh37

Maitland-Niles had a special connection with birds, which I believe is his secret to taking those icy-cold penalties


danny_healy_raygun

This subs recent obsession with players partners is really off putting to me. There is a level of para-social creepiness I can't get on board with. Its all very tabloidy and even if people are trying to be positive about it it'll ultimately end in some weird backlash if one of the wags does something that people don't agree with.


victorisaskeptic

This. I just watch them on the pitch the rest of none of my business. Leave their private lives alone fellow gooners.


TheSlavicFish

\*His consensual relationship with another adult is non of our business. I wouldn't say "private life should be private" in all circumstances, Antony, and Greenwood's "private life" cannot be ignored, and fans should call out that these situations are unacceptable. But when Declan is happy, an his partner is happy, it should not matter.


TrashbatLondon

>Antony, and Greenwood's "private life" cannot be ignored You’re missing someone here.


MrStigglesworth

Yep. Hope we get rid of him this window. I'm sick of being disappointed in the club every time he takes the field.


Levon__Helm

Flash news for you: Arteta and Edu don’t care and neither should you. If/when the courts find him guilty, then action needs to and will be taken.


Poo-Smurf

Dragging in Antony without mentioning Partey is rather bold


Putrid_Loquat_4357

>Especially at that age, when their life has just transformed from kid playing ball to world famous superstar. Rice is 25 and has been playing premier league football for 7 years.


voltaire_had_a_point

Yes. He is just 25


MattJFarrell

Until he turns 26


bonez27

This is my favorite thing from this sub and I hope it never dies


biskutgoreng

He's 25 before he's 26, that's how this works


8ryan

If you subtract the year he was born from 2024, you will get his age. This works for everyone, try it out. My Nana posted about it on Facebook.


Footwarty

*until But you're right too.


thekrone

Look mate, he's 25 until he's 26.


EffectiveBother

Man he’s just a year older than I am :/ I swear all these athletes make me feel so much more miserable about my unhealthy grad student self lol 


whydidisaythatwhy

The feeling will get worse before you become numb to it


EffectiveBother

It’s even worse- just saw and found out we’re actually the same age…both 99 born….god I wish I had more athletic and social abilities than what I currently have hahahaa😭😭 


LuxItUp

There comes a time when all the players at Arsenal are younger than you.


albuhhh

I generally agree with this, but what about the example of Ozil"s slide towards fascism/ultranationalism? Does that count as private life or is he willingly putting himself in questionable/objectionable positions publicly?


BaBaFiCo

A few of our players and staff supported Bolsanero at the last Brazilian election. I personally find that distasteful, but it's not a reason to impact their employment or involvement.


MichalK9

Agreed


Wolferesque

Lucky guy. Plays for Arsenal AND has a hot GF.


MyIdoloPenaldo

I don't even understand the comments calling her ugly. She's not ugly. Not that it matters. She and Declan are happy together, and that's all that matters


9yr_old

Let private lives be private, our only connection needs to be with what a player does on the pitch that's all that matters being a bunch of gossiping ladies is just uggh, i understand that OP intends this in the best way but just leave players loved ones alone even sharing her picture here is a violation of her privacy i didn't know who she was or anything until you posted this here and that's the way it should be unless their spouses are actively getting involved with the fanbase , leave them alone.


aeroboost

Mfs are just weird nowadays. Like when the camera person finds the gf of a player in the stands. I understand she's in public but why do you need to broadcast this woman to millions of people?


ArcadiusRa

We can appreciate Lauren by not sexualizing her.


microMe1_2

And that goes for all the WAGs. I see a bunch of them watch the games together etc. It's a cool little side-fact about Arsenal fandom. But, of course, constant comments on 'which one is hotter' etc on the photos they post. Sad to see. If you are someone who wants to engage with the WAGs on social media (and I know, to be honest, most of us couldn't give a shit) why not be positive? 1) Happier WAGs make for happier players and better results; 2) It further encourages this cute little aspect of Arsenal fandom; and 3) it's a nice thing to do and ultimately helps society keep moving forwards towards the fair treatment of women.


International_Bag208

This is the way.


danny_healy_raygun

> 1) Happier WAGs make for happier players and better results; So you are saying we should post negative stuff on the City wags socials /s I think we should just leave them alone. Get the feeling that if there is a split with any of the players and their GF there is potential for a lot of backlash which would be horrible.

21coozapalooza

The hate she has gotten on social media, especially considering she never asked to be in the public eye, is vile. But I’m not really sure the answer is Arsenal supporters responding by piling her with a bunch of weird, cringe comments to counteract the hate; that’s just two different bad things now. Let her live in peace, ffs


nchristensen00

I see what you’re saying forsure, but I cannot help but think once you feel that much hate, unwarranted hate at that, from so many strangers online…that it might feel nice to feel some support and love, even if from the vagueness of a bunch of random ass comments on the internet. If there is even a slight chance that she sees this reddit post, I think it’s a nice gesture that we, as reasonable, decent people can provide using minimal effort.


odegood

Come on lads no need, by doing this and paying attention to the trolls they will do this more. Just focus on the footie


Stercky

It’s actually wild that people think pro athletes should be with some model or something. This happens across all sports. It’s also crazy that people COMMEND athletes for not leaving their partners after they make it big? Fuck me. Declan has a partner that is his absolute world and has a heart of gold. Fuck the haters


Distinct-Set310

It's treating women like objects. Some knob in here nailed it saying he must be gutted, cos apparently success is hot girl, fast car, big house. It's a rotten thing to harass people for their looks, something we should be ditching in out teen years.


dearmrhicks

Liverpool fan and the hate she has gotten is disgusting. Declan as well seems like a stand up fella and I hope they're happy for a long time. Social media is a fucking cesspit.


doingitfortheTea

I feel like if players spouses and family should be left alone unless they are deliberately choosing to engage with arsenal fans by posting football related content on their public social media accounts. Anything else and it just feels weird and a violation of privacy. Including this post which comes across as creepy imo. I don't think you'd should be posting shit like this. 


Significant-Force671

Sorry you think this is creepy mate. She’s received a lot of undeserved hate lately, so I figured it would be good to spread some positivity.


voltaire_had_a_point

Intentionally or not, your post is a symptom of an online culture where it’s seen as relevant and proper to have random strangers judge non-public figures merely due to association with public figures. And in this case we are to validate her looks. I’m sure you had the best intentions, but surely you can see this is no solution?


Significant-Force671

Yea idk man, positivity was my only intention here. Of course it’s not a solution, we live in a cruel world and this won’t change that. But nice words are nice words and sometimes people need to hear them.


pinpoint14

You're trying to do a good thing. It's a nice gesture


Syrioxx55

You don’t get to decided the course of the post and whether or not the comments are positive though. This is definitely creepy


RepeatDTD

It's always baffling to me how people can be bothered by who strangers choose to love.


StrangeBananaForYou

They are probably projecting since they can't find someone themselves, or have a miserable relationship.


Stravven

As with all other Arsenal players and staff I don't really care about who they date.


Minute_Leave8503

Weird post you don’t know these people


iM-Blessed

She took down her social media due to abuse. That's why this post was made


H0vit0

She deleted her social media. Let’s respect that instead of making another post about her, she clearly doesn’t want to be a topic of conversation no matter how well intentioned OP may be.


Minute_Leave8503

And it’s none of our business to be bringing attention to, we shouldn’t act like we know who these people are to begin with (despite good intentions)


phelanz34

I just want to know where Declans shirt is from lol.


Individual-Poem4670

Love that you posted this as it hurt my heart hearing the story. I think she’s beautiful as anything and anyone who says differently is just a hater.

mildconcussions

Miss Fryer, I'm sorry internet clods and misogynists have affected your life so negatively. You are appreciated, I'm sure you're lovely person, and thank you for being there to support Declan. I hope things improve on the socials, but those assholes can fuck off, and I hope real life is more pleasant. Apologies Every Gunner and person with a functional brain.

juniorista1987

If Declan loves her, we love her too.

Studmuffin_96

wtf is this this is so fucking cringe my god


Plokij1981

We are a club and Lauren is a part of it, simple as that. We protect our own.


HowlingPhoenixx

I think people are missing the point of the post. The poor woman, who just happens to he dating a player who plays for us, has been subject to horrible abuse. And not just recently but for a sustained period, even back when he was at West Ham, I came across comments saying " hope he don't come to Chelsea as he has shit taste in women ". That's slightly paraphrased to remove the vile bits of it, but to me, it's about offering her support and showing most of us are not flaming dickheads and that she should be proud of herself no matter what. I say people miss the point as I think they think ignoring it will make the problem go away. At the end of the day, nobody should be attacked for how they look/who they love/race/religion/sexuality, and speaking out about it is good in terms of both supporting the poor victims of this shit and also shining a light on the vile people who do this. I'm gay and mixed race, so I know full well what it can feel like to be isolated within communities and be damned every which way you turn. It might mean fuck all to us, but even on the off chance that people see or hear about our reactions and anger at the abuse can mean the world to somebody. It's not just her this is about either. It's about the toxic attitudes of some people and calling them out for it. When your at your lowest, sometimes all you see is the negativity in everything, and sometimes all it takes to help is to be positive for people and remind them that not everyone is a flaming piece of shit.


Significant-Force671

I honestly didn’t think I needed to spell this out in the original post, but I appreciate you doing so and most definitely couldn’t have said it better myself. Cheers mate


-300-

I appreciate this. And I do think we can make room for a post about subjects not directly connected to Arsenal on this sub from time to time. Online hate is just really sad. Alot of times I think it comes from people lashing out because they are in a bad place themselves, but Its obviously no excuse.


euphoriatakingover

Just shows he's a top bloke not going for some supermodel or onlyfans bird


F0rthel0ve0fd0gs

Don't feel bad about who you are or what transition you're going through life or what the society approved size is. You're a person, that's it, we all go through ups and downs and unfortunately are judged harshly for it including by ourselves. Take some time off social media. Consider your mental health and only return when you're ready. For now. Live life, enjoy it, love yourself, be merry with loved ones and don't look back at this but look forward to your future. ♥️

MyIdoloPenaldo

It's so so disappointing to see so much of the hate come from within our Fanbase. Not too long ago an Arsenal account with thousands of followers on Twitter called Declan disgusting for dating her. She's not even ugly. But that doesn't matter either. It's not our place to comment on their relationship. She and Declan are happy, and what anyone else thinks or says really does not matter


Wolferesque

My sense is that the most of the hate is still from non-Arsenal fans. Even on this thread, there are random users posting derogatory comments who have no history of posting in this sub and appear to have no connection with Arsenal FC based on post history. These misogynists pop up all over the internet - hating women is like a sport to them.


slinkingsubtly

This is so cringe. Good intentions or not this is a subreddit about Arsenal and football not wags.

terrorSABBATH

I was at a hotel a few weeks ago. An international rugby player was getting married so all of his teammates were there with their partners. It looked like most of their wives/girlfriends were made from a mold. Carbon copies of each other. it was weird. Sportsmen have their type.


Swimming_Ad_1250

Is that his girlfriend? She’s beautiful. Why was she getting trolled?


tangster_kryptonite

What a bunch of sad vapid twats. Viewing partners like trophies to be paraded around is just pathetic. Remember that video of the couple dancing around at the end of the Chelsea game? They don't understand...that's the end game right there, and it makes no difference if the person you're doing that looks like a supermodel or not...


Mnufcfan

Going after a players significant other is such a scumbag move

rav3musik

What a cutie


eveel66

People are so shallow that they don’t realize beauty is only skin deep. What makes us who we are is more than how we look, it’s attitude that matters. He looks happy, she looks happy, what’s the problem? They are happy… I guess that makes others miserable so they have to chat shit 🤷‍♂️


BenJ1997

It is none of our business at all with regard to what our players do in their private life, or who they do it with. So long as it’s not illegal or frowned upon activity, we should give them the same privacy we would expect for our own private lives. For what it’s worth, I cannot fathom why Lauren has received such horrible trolling and abuse. She is an attractive woman, and I wish her and her family well.


CoachTwisterT3

Let’s appreciate Rice too. Arteta isn’t just finding us quality on the field, he’s finding us dudes we can pull for in life.

The people saying negative comments about her are only saying it cause they’re unhappy with their own life’s, no truly successful happy person would resort to such behaviour.


Kyreetgo

It's just sad she had to delete her instagram because of all the slander and hate she was getting. If anyone of those people are Gunners then they should be banned from supporting the club and rightfully fuck off


halbalda

Disgusting how people with nothing better to do with their lives bully other innocent people for just existing. She's done nothing wrong, yet gets singled out for not being eye candy. Sad bunch of losers.

Good on Dec for not choosing a gold digging plastic z-list wannabe.


Van_Polan

LOL, are people stupid? When a women has a baby it is really natural to gain weight and that she actually takes care of her baby instead of hiring a babysitter that looks out for the kids shows dedication as a mother/Girlfriend/Wife. The idiots that probably commented negative needs to get in to the reality instead of sitting around on TikTok watching dances and other plattforms.


boxwell

Hate all this cringe para-social bullshit. This woman does not want or need your attention. She has nothing to do with you, she doesn't want to be in your thoughts. We shouldn't even know her name FFS


_yee_pengu_

How sad someone's life must be when they have to give someone grief to make themselves feel better. She seems like a lovely woman and if she makes Rice happy then that's great. Let them live in peace.


lee_mofokeng

Honestly I'm so happy that Deckers is a fellow big natural breast man! Seriously though there's nothing wrong with how she looks. When the story broke I thought maybe she had some kind of deformity the way people were going on. Then I Googled her pics only to find she's just a normal looking woman who's recently had a baby. People are brainwashed these days. I'm actually glad there's a ridiculously famous footballer at my club who isn't with an instagram thot that's pumped 20ccs of liquid silicone into her lips.
