Arsenal | Climate change

[Adam Keys @adamkeys_]

#Arsenal sold players every year to stay afloat. Arsene Wenger had to repeatedly finish in the top four with a positive net spend and we had to sell out the stadium at the highest prices in England, whilst City committed fraud at every level. Never forget.

[Guillem Balague @GuillemBalague]

Now that Arsenal fans are booing their own team and former players are lining up to criticise, let me offer the bigger picture, the one you hear across Europe.

Arsenal are not seen here as a team that has stalled. They are seen as a reference point. As the team many look at when trying to understand where elite football is heading.

The game has shifted, it is no longer enough to dominate the ball or to attack well. The top sides now compete in, and often decide matches through, the four phases that make teams excellent: organised attack, attacking transition, defensive transition and structured defence. At the highest level, those phases matter more than possession percentages or aesthetic debates.

This is where Arsenal stand out.

Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal control space, time and another very important element, rhythm. They are aggressive without being chaotic, but can create chaos to find gaps, they are compact without being passive. Their pressing is prepared in detail, lose the ball and the reaction is immediate. The opponent is denied oxygen.

Across Europe, this is understood as modern dominance.

The key battleground today is transition. Not what you do with the ball, but what happens the instant you lose it. Defensive rhythm has overtaken offensive rhythm. Space is smaller and time is shorter. The teams that survive are the ones that arrive first, win duels, plus reset order before danger appears.

Arsenal do this as well as anyone.

In Europe, Arsenal are seen as a team that has absorbed Guardiola’s ideas and pushed them forward, they have strengthened them for a football world that now plays faster, presses harder, and it totally punishes hesitation.

At the very moment Arsenal are being questioned at home, they are being analysed as a model.

Progress is often uncomfortable and it rarely moves in straight lines. Arsenal don’t look lost. In my eyes they look early!

When did we lose the love of enjoying our club?
The wins, the great play, the quality players, the memorable goals?
Where did the narrative that if you don't win a trophy, the whole season becomes a waste of time come from?
Social media has bred a generation of entitled fans

Morning All,

Seeing loads of negative stuff on here about our beloved football team from some of the fanbase, most of whom couldn’t run a bath never mind a competitive PL football team.

I even see a many calling out the manager for not being able to break down a dogged Everton low block yesterday, I see them calling out certain players again because they don’t think they’re performing how they expect them to perform and for not buying a Striker in the Summer even though you know we were definitely trying to buy a Striker, all the while having to be careful about FFP.

Our manager is one of the best in the world in my opinion, one that is also still learning on the job. What he’s done to transform us from that dead pool of players 3/4 seasons ago to now is like night and day. We are now a football team that can compete with anyone in the world, and we’re still building and will always continue to build. But nothing is guaranteed and we have no entitlement to win the biggest competitions but you can see we are really trying and edging closer.

The fans, the players and the whole club are all together for the first time in many years again now, so please don’t get sucked in to the nonsense from the click baiting operations like the likes of AFTV again, they get rich when we turn on each other, and on our bad results on pitch. That’s what they want. Just concentrate on what we’re doing and believe in the manager, the boys and the club. If we all do that I think we will grab some silverware on the way. Most of all, embrace it, enjoy the challenge, nothing is easy, if it was, you’d get bored of it anyway.

We are The Arsenal.

@pedroelchileno I’v felt this is best part about Arteta. No ego when it comes to the team. If there is a way to make the team better physically or mentally, he will accept it. Some coaches are not ready to move away from ‘Traditionality’.

@adamvoge We rarely see one given

Around 1 million species now face extinction, many within the next few decades. We are facing multiple crises at the same time.

No time to waste. Protect nature and ourselves. #ActOnClimate

This is a peek at the ending of our recently published 2024 State of the Climate Report. Here is the full report: https://t.co/iylKXfy36I

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

The recent IPCC report had a big focus on methane (CH4) – and rightly so. We should work to cut methane emissions quickly, but not at the expense of cutting CO2.

Methane is temporary, while CO2 is forever.

A quick thread: 1/13

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

We should all be furious that as a year of climate fueled event wreaks havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide.

Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, and record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?

@heptaviews Daaamn!

@karthikadhaigal Did haland just throw the ball on gabriels head after they equalised ? I feel like i saw that. Very mature.

[Adil @Adeeil16]

@Abhi_Musik @Rory_Talks_Ball Given that they just started watching football😂

@scrapytweets Never use the word bottle

[Adil @Adeeil16]

@scrapytweets I think Jorginho will play. He is normally Arteta’s go to man for control in big games.

[Adil @Adeeil16]

@AfcMaven Yup. He got mixed with the wrong crowd at the end of his career😂

[Adil @Adeeil16]

@fit_kwik_ Cesc waited with Wenger for a long time giving his all for the club. Finally he went to his club in his hometown. He still loves and supports the arsenal. RVP had one good season after arsenal after sticking with him with so many injuries and he went to MANU. Cesc is a legend.
