🚨Hugely excited to announce that I am writing a book about Arsenal's extraordinary rebirth under Mikel Arteta and their title glory this season. The full story of how #AFC returned to the top of the English game. Published by @panmacmillan. Pre-order: https://t.co/8pjNYotw2d
Goalkeeping remains the most reactive position in football. If a striker misses six chances and scores the winner, he is the hero.
A goalkeeper can perform flawlessly for 89 minutes and still leave the stadium blamed for one positional mistake or one shot that swerves unexpectedly late.
A forward’s contribution is more visible whereas a goalkeeper's influence is often preventative, subtle and psychological.
Goalkeepers spend entire matches trying to prevent the very thing football exists to celebrate. They are the sport’s disruptors, the villain in the narrative.
Nobody buys tickets hoping to see a goalkeeper dominate and yet, when teams win titles, the truly great sides almost always have one.
@mattpyzdrowski explains why goalkeepers like Arsenal's outstanding David Raya rarely win the sport's top individual awards and argues why that should really happen more often.

She’s dead! For them it’s just politics, for another family it is a loved one gone - just because she held a different political opinion! How do you expect others to feel your pain when you are directly killing their own! Can we ever have peace where we’ve inflicted such pointless permanent pain on others? Would you pretend to be angry when such innocent people you’ve harmed and hurt celebrate your own pain?
@RaMsFaNs84@HaterReport Again, I didn’t say the movie deserved an Oscar, the actor who portrayed two complex roles and made them enjoyable, as Michael B Jordan did, should have been nominated at the very least.
But, to each their own.
