Wait… Gabriel Agbonlahor REALLY thinks Arsenal will get just 5 points from their first 5 games. 😭
The hate this man has for Arsenal needs to be studied. 💀
But then I remembered… has he ever won the Premier League? 👀
The mood after losing 3-1 against Bodø/Glimt, both in the dressing room and in training, was very low.
Pepijn Lijnders played a hugely important role in bringing the spark back and takes us through:
1) The role of the leaders in the dressing room, Dias and Bernardo.
2) What he, as Pep’s assistant, had to do to bring the boys back.
This is just proper stuff, man.

🇸🇦🏟️ RIYADH IS BUILDING A STADIUM THAT LOOKS LIKE IT CAME FROM THE FUTURE
Saudi Arabia is taking its stadium ambitions to another level with the new King Salman Stadium in Riyadh.
And this isn’t going to be just another giant football stadium.
🏟️ 92,000 capacity
📅 Expected to open in late 2029
🇸🇦 Future home of the Saudi Arabia national team
🏆 Set to be one of the headline venues for the 2034 FIFA World Cup
The design takes inspiration from Saudi Arabia’s mountains, with the stadium intended to look like a seed emerging from the ground.
And the details are just as ambitious.
☀️ Solar panels integrated into the roof
🌿 Green walls designed to help cool the stadium
🚶 A rooftop pedestrian walkway offering 360° views of Riyadh
🌳 Direct integration with the surrounding King Abdulaziz Park
The idea is to make the stadium part of the landscape rather than simply placing a huge structure on top of it.
By the time the 2034 World Cup arrives, Riyadh could have one of the most recognisable stadiums in world football.
Saudi Arabia isn’t just preparing to host a World Cup. It’s building the infrastructure around it on a completely different scale. 🇸🇦
Fans attending this weekend's FA Community Shield are advised to plan ahead. With road congestion expected and limited rail services running, please allow extra time for your journey to the stadium.

Exactly what I told some fans a few days ago. I think I should seriously start making video content. 😂
We need more content like this with facts ready to shut down the agenda merchants on the spot.
Well done, mate! 👏 @kzytalksports
One of the biggest concerns among Barcelona fans is whether Rodri’s arrival could negatively affect Pedri, especially after what happened at the World Cup. But let’s break it down.
Barcelona play with a double pivot, where both midfielders have major responsibilities in building and progressing attacks. Each player has a clearly defined role.
Spain, under Luis de la Fuente, uses a single holding midfielder with two advanced midfielders operating between the lines and occupying the half-spaces.
If you go back to Pedri and Rodri during the Euros, you’ll see that Pedri was the player responsible for progressing the attack while also drifting into the left half-space. He had much more freedom because Rodri was behind him, and he also had a natural winger like Nico Williams stretching the pitch.
The World Cup was different. Baena occupied the left half-space, Cucurella provided the width on the flank, and Pedri’s role became much more restricted and less defined.
Even then, when Pedri came on in the World Cup final and was given more freedom, he produced an outstanding performance.
Rodri has already shown how dominant he can be in a double pivot alongside John Stones.
So imagine Rodri and Pedri playing together in Barcelona’s double pivot. It has the potential to be absolutely devastating. Nothing to be worried at all, especially if Pedri can stay physically fit.
💰 Here is the detailed proposal of @MLS club Inter Miami's to Leo Messi:

✅ Acquisition of a part of Inter Miami's shares after his retirement.
✅ The option to buy a MLS club after retirement.

David Beckham has revealed signing Messi wasn't just a football deal. It was a business coalition. 🧠
Beckham and Inter Miami couldn't outbid Saudi Arabia's $400M/year offer with salary alone. So they got creative.
They brought the LEAGUE and its commercial partners to the table:
💰 MLS - salary + equity stake in Inter Miami
🍎 Apple - a cut of new MLS Season Pass subscribers
👟 Adidas - a share of increased MLS merchandise revenue
Total package: approx. $150M over 2.5 years but with uncapped upside.
The result? Messi is now a BILLIONAIRE.
Inter Miami is valued at over $1B. And Beckham made the 2026 Sunday Times Rich List at £1.185B.
Saudi offered a paycheck. Miami offered a business model.
That's the difference between paying a player and partnering with one. 💸
