💔..So let me get this straight. Viktor Gyokeres was brought in to Arsenal for over 60 million euros with one objective to win the Premier League. Which they successfully did ending a 22 year drought. He scored 21 goals. More than any other Arsenal player becoming only the third Arsenal player in the Premier League era to score more than 20 goals in his debut season after Thierry Henry and Alexis Sanchez.
And more importantly he didn't smash his penalty too high or too wide in the Champions League final. Instead he stepped up first and smashed it in and now he hasn't started a single game. Am I missing something?
Because to bring this guy in and then have him deliver what was expected of him and then turn your back on him like this is just sad. I understand that the talks about systems and the need for a player to fit into them. But then why did you sign him? You signed him to win. I don't care if you want to mock his technique, his passing, or his flair. He still got you over the line. It doesn't matter how it looks. If it wins you titles, it wins you fucking titles.
This is the kind of behavior that makes me think that a club honestly doesn't deserve to win. Because if this is honestly how you treat the players who got you there, then I honestly kind of feel fuck around and find out.
Gyokeres has smashed in 21 goals in a system that doesn't even play to his strengths. Imagine if you actually did play to his strengths. Imagine if you actually played him through at least half of the times that he made those perfectly timed runs.
The reason Arsenal even made it to the Champions League final was because this guy gave his best performance in an Arsenal shirt in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid. That was a ten out of ten performance. His hold up play, his work rate offensively and defensively and finally orchestrating the game winning goal through his run.
He gives you his best performance in an Arsenal shirt in a Champions League semi-final taking you to the final and what happens next? He doesn't get to start the final. Yes, Havertz scored in the final. Yes, he scored against City but maybe things would have still turned out different if you actually backed your main man from the start.
The guy who had momentum and confidence from the very beginning. Maybe I'm wrong. But to me all of this just feels dumb. And this coach is rage baiting the sh1t out of me.
Highest gas prices (by far) of the 50 states.
Highest utility rates of the 50 states.
Highest housing costs of the 50 states.
Highest taxes in the country.
Losing Fortune 500 businesses faster than any other state.
More people moving out of state to find cheaper costs of living than any other state.

Fernando Mendoza signed a rookie contract in July worth $57.27 million. Fully guaranteed. He is 22 years old.
This week he announced what he is doing with his rookie season.
He is starting a series called Finance with Fernando to teach people his age how to handle money.
His words in the trailer.
"My true passion is fiscal responsibility."
He is not bluffing. He graduated from the Haas School of Business at Berkeley, and he is finishing a master's in business administration in December.
Here is how he got to the point where a 22 year old can say that.
All four of his grandparents left Cuba for Miami in 1960.
He grew up in Miami and played at Christopher Columbus High School. In two seasons as the starting quarterback he threw for 1,396 yards and 16 touchdowns. Total. Nobody was building a recruiting class around that.
He committed to Yale.
Then another recruit's decision opened a door at California, and he went to Berkeley instead. He redshirted in 2022. He started eight games in 2023 and eleven in 2024.
Then he hit the portal and went to Indiana, a program that had gone 9-27 in the three years before Curt Cignetti showed up.
What happened next does not really happen.
Indiana went 16-0. Mendoza threw 41 touchdown passes, a school record. They won at Oregon. They beat No. 1 Ohio State for the Big Ten title.
Rose Bowl against Alabama, he went 14 of 16 for 192 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-3 win. Peach Bowl against Oregon, five touchdowns.
Then the national championship game, against Miami. The school in his own hometown.
Indiana won 27-21. He was the offensive MVP.
First Heisman Trophy in Indiana history. First national championship in Indiana history.
Then the Raiders took him first overall. He wears number 15 for Tom Flores, who gave him his blessing to use it.
And right now he is sitting behind Kirk Cousins.
So instead of waiting around, he is finishing the MBA and starting a personal finance series for people who have never had money and are about to.
One more thing worth knowing about him. His mother Elsa lives with multiple sclerosis. He and his brother worked with restaurants to put items on the menu that raise money for MS research.
Turn on any sports broadcast in America right now and count the sportsbook ads.
The number one pick in the draft started a show about not losing your money.

🇺🇸 Meet H.S. footballer Wesly Lowery, who asked his friend since first grade, Nevaeh Hall, to homecoming.
Nevaeh has Down syndrome, and Wesly is the team's quarterback... but they couldn't care less what anyone thinks about their uncommon coupling!
This makes my heart happy and gives me a remaining shred of faith in humanity! ❤️

A wrestler won 10-0, then saw his injured opponent struggling and skipped the celebration entirely.
He picked him up and carried him off the mat toward the locker room.

🇪🇸 Instead of walking out with kids, Betis had a much better idea: bring 11 of its oldest members onto the pitch with the starting lineup.
All of them were over 80.
If you’ve supported a club that long, you’ve definitely earned the walkout.
I really hope more clubs copy this idea ❤️
