🚨🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney on West Ham United vs Arsenal Game: 🤯

“People keep talking about individuals, moments, luck, referees and all the rest of it, but when I watch Arsenal, I see a proper football team. I see a side that is coached at the very highest level. Honestly, if you don’t rate this Arsenal team or you can’t understand the level of football they’re playing, then I’m sorry, you simply do not know football. And I’m saying that as someone who’s played the game at the top level for years.

This Arsenal side are unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. They are so compact, so organised, so disciplined in everything they do. There are no gaps, no panic, no unnecessary risks. Every single player understands his role. When you watch them, you almost don’t even see individuals anymore, you see a programme. You see a machine. Everything is synchronised. It takes a very high football IQ and tactical understanding to truly appreciate the level this team operates at.

People will watch them and say ‘they’re boring’ or ‘they’re robotic’, but do you know what I call it? Elite. I call it winning football. I call it a team that knows exactly who they are. There’s a reason they leave no lapses for opponents. There’s a reason teams struggle to break them down. There’s a reason they control matches the way they do. That doesn’t happen by accident.

I backed Arsenal from the very beginning of the season to win this league and people laughed at me. People told me City would walk it, people said Arsenal would bottle it again, but look where we are now. Two games left and Arsenal are on the verge of becoming champions. And honestly, I’m delighted for them because they deserve it.

The fans deserve it as well. Arsenal supporters have waited a long, long time for this feeling. They’ve gone through years of frustration, banter, disappointment, nearly moments, false dawns, all of it. But they stayed patient. They kept believing in the club, believing in the process, believing in the manager and the players. Now they’re finally about to get rewarded for that patience.

I think Mikel Arteta deserves enormous credit because what he’s built is not just a good side, it’s a culture. There’s standards there now. Serious standards. Every player fights for each other, every player works, every player sacrifices. That’s why they’re champions in my eyes.

And I’ll say this as a Manchester United man, this is the level I want Manchester United to get back to. This is the standard. Watching Arsenal now reminds me of what elite football clubs should look like. The control, the hunger, the mentality, the structure. When you get to this level, football becomes enjoyable again for the fans because they trust their team completely.

Arsenal fans can finally smile again because this team has given them something to be proud of. And I genuinely believe this is only the beginning for them. I think they’re going to do great things over the next few years.

So to everyone who laughed at my prediction earlier in the season, you’re not laughing now. Maybe it’s time people start respecting this Arsenal side properly because what they’re doing is special.”

Thank you @arsenal ❤️
As I say goodbye, I want to take this time to say thank you to everyone at the club, from my teammates to all the wonderful staff who have been a part of my journey and have made this place home for so many years.

Thank you Gooners.

Love this Aaron Ramsdale quote about being England's number two at Euro 2024:

"Out of a population in England of 60 million or whatever it is, I'm living all of their dreams and then there is one man living my dream on the pitch and that one person is doing a hell of a job"

All cases dismissed.
So what are we doing now?
Who is going to help this brother heal?
Who’s going to be Responsable for the damage on he’s name?
How he’s going to have he’s career back?
Many years of investment to become a professional football player…. Now what!?
I’ve never touched on this subject because I didn’t know all the details, but I’ve spoken to him once true FaceTime while behind bars and faced him on the pitch a couple times.. I didn’t see any evil in the man.
We can’t accept this to happen to us as athletes..
Who’s going to stand up for us in the time of need not when the damage is already done?
Don’t turn your head people.

Your redemption arc is complete. Your story of redemption was an inspiration to keep fighting no matter how great the obstacle.

What a man, what an Arsenal career - can’t wait to see you back as a coach someday!

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

297 appearances. 23 goals. 29 assists. Two FA Cups. And one inspirational story.​

TIL that Michael Jackson was, at one point, one of the biggest song owners on Earth, which included the majority of Beatles songs. And who gave him the idea to acquire song rights? None other than Sir Paul McCartney himself.

The thing that's baffling to me is I actually think Haaland is underperforming. This is only his first season. Imagine the next year when he is even more in sync with the current team. I don't even want to fathom how many goals he would score.

[B/R Football @brfootball]

Fastest to:
▪️10 PL goals—6 games
▪️20 PL goals—14 games
▪️30 PL goals—27 games
▪️30 UCL goals—25 games
▪️4 PL hat tricks—19 games
▪️30 goals for Pep—26 games

Most goals in a season:
▪️For City—45 goals*
▪️By a PL player—45 goals*

Haaland keeps breaking records this season 📚
