💣🚨Thierry Henry Replies Mikel Obi For Calling Arsenal Fans Dumb and saying Arsenal was Humbled.
Humbled is not the word I would use.
John,
🗣️You said Arsenal fans had been humbled.
You said after one title in 22 years we suddenly believed we were “one of the big boys again.”
You said no, we are not.
You said there was never a chance Vinicius would leave Real Madrid for a club with zero Champions League titles.
You said he was simply using Arsenal.
And you finished by asking what the fans were smoking.
Allow me to respond with clarity.
🗣️Winning the Premier League after more than two decades is not delusion.
It is restoration.
It is proof that the standard is rising again.
You calling that “humbled” reveals more about your perspective than it does about the club.
🗣️You speak of Champions League trophies as if they are the only currency that matters.
Real Madrid have them in abundance. Arsenal do not yet.
But a club is not defined solely by the trophies it currently lacks.
It is defined by its direction, its ambition, and the players who still believe in its project.
🗣️Vinicius chose to remain at Real Madrid.
That is his right.
A player who has tasted consistent success often prefers the certainty of more.
That choice does not diminish Arsenal.
It simply confirms that some players prioritise what is already guaranteed over what is still being built.
🗣️You mentioned the messages in your DMs.
Fans reacting with emotion to a strong opinion is not unusual.
Turning that reaction into a punchline about what they were “smoking” is unnecessary.
It reduces a football discussion to mockery.
🗣️You were a disciplined, successful midfielder.
You won major trophies.
That earns respect.
It does not earn the right to dismiss an entire fanbase for daring to believe their club could attract one of the best players in the world.
🗣️Arsenal are champions of England.
The work continues.
Your comments will fade.
The project will not.
There is a difference between analysis and condescension.
This was the latter.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: BRUNO GUIMARÃES ON HOW GABRIEL MAGALHÃES CONVINCED HIM TO JOIN ARSENAL
🗣️ “It wasn’t an easy decision. For a long time, I only saw myself in a Newcastle shirt, the club that gave me everything.
But Gabriel kept calling me. He told me about Arsenal’s fans and how different their love is. He reminded me of what happened after he missed the decisive penalty against PSG in the UCL final, instead of turning on him, the fans supported him, chanted his name and even bought his Jersey
He told me, ‘Bruno, that kind of love doesn’t exist everywhere. At Arsenal, they don’t just want the perfect player. They want the fighter. Give them everything and they’ll give you everything back.’
He spoke about the dressing room, the intensity and the expectations at Arsenal. The more they told me, the more I understood why they wanted me to experience it for myself.
When you walk into the Emirates on a big night and feel that support, you understand why Arsenal is different.

If Arsenal let Myles Lewis-Skelly go to Chelsea, I don’t care how much for, then the whole club can do one.
19-years-old. Started in the UCL final. Stepped up to win us our first league title in 22 years. And you want to sell him? To our rivals?
If Arsenal were trying to sign him this summer, he’d be worth £100m.
I don’t believe it’s true. Football London can get in the bin if they’ve made this up.
🚨🎙️ IAN WRIGHT HAS A MESSAGE FOR ARSENAL FANS AFTER TWO PRE-SEASON DEFEATS
🗣️ “Arsenal fans need to calm down. I understand the frustration after defeats to Real Betis and Dortmund, but let’s keep some perspective, it’s still pre-season.
Most of the first-team players aren’t back yet after the World Cup, and I know Mikel Arteta is also working with the club to strengthen the squad before the season starts.
No team has a flawless pre-season. These games are about fitness, preparation and building rhythm. The real test comes when the trophies are on the line.
Trust the process, give the team time and let’s see what Arsenal look like when everyone is back and ready.

Martinelli had more champions league goals than Barcola last season but Galatasary saw Liverpool getting a €100m bid rejected for Barcola and think Martinelli, a premier league champion, will go for €40m.
Pedro Neto is not an upgrade on what we’ve already got. I would rather use Tzolis and Martinelli and spend the £70mil elsewhere. Please, for the love of god, do not pursue this deal.
🚨Breaking: Thierry Henry on fans criticising Viktor Gyokeres after Dortmund performance*[Corrected]
🗣️Reporter: “Some Arsenal fans were critical of Viktor Gyokeres after the game vs Dortmund. What do you make of that?”
🗣️Thierry Henry:
“I really don’t want to use that one performance to judge him.
The fans need to know who they’ve got. Viktor is a goal scorer. A real traditional number 9. He’s strong on the ball, aggressive, and he always has his eyes on goal.
I’ve watched him play a lot. He’s a different striker to Gabriel Jesus or Kai Havertz. Jesus will drop deep and link play, Kai will drift and create. Viktor? He pins centre-backs, he lives in the box, and he smells goals. That’s what we missed.
I think the fans are overreacting. Let’s remember: he was the highest goal scorer for Arsenal last season. He came in and we won the league after 22 years. You don’t do that by accident.
He gives us something else. He holds the ball up under pressure, he runs the channels, he drags defenders with him so Odegaard and Saka get space. And when the chance comes, he puts it away.
The fans should trust him. He has the mentality of a winner. He works hard, he fights for the badge, and he wants to be judged on goals and trophies, not one friendly.
Arsenal needed a killer in the box. We have one now. Back him.

💣🚨BREAKING: Roy Keane Blasts Vinicius Junior calls him a Coward.
🗣️I’ve watched this lad for years now. Gifted footballer, no question. But when it came to the real decision… the one that actually tests what you’re made of… he showed exactly who he is.
🗣️Arsenal came for him. The Premier League came for him. A completely different environment, different demands, different pressure. An opportunity to step out of the comfort zone and prove himself somewhere it wouldn’t be handed to him. And he rejected it.
🗣️He chose to stay in Madrid. Where the system is built around him. Where the crowd already adores him. Where the path is smoother and the risks are lower. That is not the decision of a player who wants to be tested. That is the decision of a player who wants the easy life.
🗣️I have no respect for it. None. You don’t get to talk about ambition and hunger and then bottle the first real challenge that comes your way. You don’t get to stay in the same soft surroundings year after year and still expect people to see you as some kind of warrior.
🗣️He had the chance to take a proper adventure. Different country. Different league. Proper scrutiny. And he ran from it. Hid behind the comfort of what he already knows.
🗣️That’s not strength. That’s not character. That’s a coward’s choice, plain and simple. And no amount of stepovers or highlight reels will change that.
Do you agree with Roy?

🚨 Thierry Henry BLASTS Vinícius Jr. Transfer Saga: “Arsenal Don’t Need Players Who Are Confused.”
Thierry Henry on the Vinícius Jr. transfer saga:
"If I'm being honest, I don't think Vinícius Jr. truly wants to join Arsenal. This entire saga feels like one big negotiation tactic to force Real Madrid into offering him an even bigger, mouth-watering contract."
"Think about it. If your dream is Arsenal, why is it taking this long? Why are there still doubts? A player who genuinely wants to wear the shirt doesn't keep everybody waiting while he weighs up a better offer elsewhere."
"Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world. You don't use them as leverage. Either you want to be here or you don't. It's as simple as that."
"I don't want a player who's confused at my football club. I want players who wake up every morning knowing exactly where they want to play. That's the mentality that wins Premier League titles and Champions Leagues."
"If Vinícius Jr. is still waiting to see whether Real Madrid improve his contract, then Arsenal should walk away immediately.
“No player is bigger than the club, and no transfer is worth begging for. Let him make his decision, but Arsenal should never wait for someone who isn't 100% committed."
Make no mistake, in a window where City got a slightly above average Elliot Anderson for £130m, and Chelsea signed technically average Morgan Rogers for £120m, Arsenal signing one of the best midfielders in the world in Bruno Guimaraes for just £75m is the bargain of the summer.
🚨🔴⚪️ BREAKING: Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal, HERE WE GO! 🇧🇷
Agreement in place with Newcastle after long talks and personal terms in place with Bruno since July. Fee worth £75m.
New midfielder for Mikel Arteta. 🔜
