Hashem is my Ro'eh, he restores my nefesh. In the paths of tzedek l'ma'an Shmo, he guides me. Tho I be slain, yet will I maintain my derech before him. Trusting in him as I journey thru Gey Tzalmavet fearing no rah. Surely tov and chesed will follow me kol y'mei chaiyyai. 😇
Respect to Pep
Winning trophies is often less financially valuable than consistently qualifying for the UCL. A UCL semi-final run can generate more revenue than winning domestic cups combined.
Commercial growth and wage structure efficiency matter as much as transfer spend.
I think winning this EPL has not fully sunk in……it is hitting different levels and stages each passing hour.
Yesterday at about this time I thought to myself so you mean @EbereEze10 who signed for @arsenal has won the league with AFC and Spurs are likely to relegate.
Today it is giving. Arteta just won the title and he is the second youngest manager to do so as well as the first club player to do so for same team as a manager. Arteta won the toughest title across Europe…..none in his generation can do it.
At this point, nothing was going to save Bayern….look at Dembele!!!! PSG game is displacement. You will think you have structure but lack of discipline will make you fall prey. Ambition should be expressed with cautious discipline. PSG are runners and technically sound.
Look at Bayern
How on earth did Upamecano get sucked into the midfield when he knows he has no legs to recover. Where the heck did the DM and CM go to? This was a game of fitness and stamina.
Look at Bayerns defensive shape. You allow a player pick up a pass, lay it off and runs into the flanks to pick up what he ordered….then runs into the yard with a gaping hole in the 18 yard having two PSG players to receive the pass. PSG knows how to drag you out of your shape.
The problem is whenever he comes out with messages, the very next game he (Declan) makes unspeakable blunders. Now I’m worried about the games this week.
🚨🎙️ | Declan Rice sends strong message:
🗣️ “We’re strong — we’re not letting any negativity get to us.”
🗣️ “We know things haven’t gone right, but that doesn’t mean we’ve lost focus.”
🗣️ “We know our goal — winning a trophy — and that’s what we’re working towards.”
🗣️ “We’ve been in tougher situations before. Criticism will always be there, but this time we won’t let it affect us.”
Are we genuinely saying Norgaard stands zero chance? Let me check him out as I don’t think he hides like Zubi and he is not short so a high line by the opposition doesn’t dwarf him.
It is very easy to see why this happened. Zero creativity, poor mentality trying to play safe rather than push. A combination of losing Odegaard, Eze, Timber and Hincapie with the loss of form by Saka means zero creativity, attacking support and defensive exposure.
David Raya received a whooping 38 passes today against Bournemouth 😳
Arsenal waste so much time unnecessarily recycling the ball instead of moving it forward.
@Arsenal it is this simple…..as at February, we were in four competitions. Today we are out of two and still rewarding bad performances….Arsenal shd show ambition and drop the players not giving 💯….some of these players are just happy and Ok to be playing for Arsenal.
Granit Xhaka in 2022, after Arsenal had a UCL qualification blow.
🗣️“If someone is not ready for this game, stay at home. If you’re nervous, stay at home. Don’t come here. We need people to have balls.”
Think this still applies…
To every Arsenal fan,
I don’t even know where to begin but I have to say I’m sorry.
What happened yesterday is on me. One moment, one decision and it changed everything. I’ve replayed it over and over in my head and it hurts knowing I let the team and every single one of you down.
I know what this club means. I know what it means to fight for every point, every position, every dream. And in a moment where we needed composure, I made the wrong choice. There are no excuses for that.
Seeing the disappointment, the anger, I understand it. Honestly I feel it too. Probably even more. Because when you wear this badge, you carry millions with you and yesterday I didn’t carry it the way I should have.
All I can promise is this I won’t hide. I won’t shy away from it. I will take it, learn from it and use it. Because moments like this either break you or build you and I refuse to let it break me.
I will come back stronger. For the team. For this club. For you.
I’m truly sorry.
