nobody wanted Arsenal to win the Prem because we thought their fans were gonna be unbearable and annoying, but whats ended up happening is everyone else has become completely unbearable instead, crying and belittling their achievements as much as possible just to fuel agendas
After watching Henry Nowak bleed to death while in handcuffs, while his murderer was treated as the victim, I can honestly say I have never witnessed a greater betrayal by a nation of its own people. Cowards and traitors, all of them. Shame on Britain.
Shirt sales for Arsenal defender Gabriel increased by 350 per cent after the centre-back missed a crucial penalty in his side’s Champions League final defeat on Saturday.
Gabriel, 28, took the final penalty in the shootout, but his effort went over the bar, and Paris Saint-Germain were crowned Champions League winners for the second consecutive season.
However, despite the disappointment for the Brazilian, fans have responded by buying his shirt en masse. The 28-year-old became the top-selling name printed on shirts over the weekend.
At one point, sales of the Brazil international’s shirt doubled those of any other shirt being sold.

🚨 Since his penalty miss in the #UCL final, Arsenal supporters have made Gabriel the top-selling shirt name at the club.
His printed name is up 350% since Saturday’s final. At one stage he was outselling any other name x2.

Guys finished 2nd 3times, got called bottlers and hate on social media regularly.
They win the league, get to a CL final and see their fellow professionals, who ALL finished below them, hating on a loss in a final they couldn’t get to.
But they are insecure for responding?
Arsenal making the news: special focus on BBC R4 Today programme this morning.
Making new fans: sea of red around the Emirates and surrounding streets and also railway terminals, 1000s headed from E Midlands/North to KGX, signalling support from all over; downside of parade, 16 arrests, fire in a hotel reportedly caused by a flare, damaged tree, tons of litter requiring major clear-up op, especially Highbury Corner. Just stepped my way through it.
Making money: £120m-£130m from Champions League run depending on TV cut; £170m+ from Premier League; additional commercial strength in bonuses, shirt sales, tours; qualification for £90m 2029 Club World Cup, although it drains players.
Making plans: to extend Mikel Arteta’s contract which currently expires 2027; possibly expanding stadium; strengthen team, as opposed to squad, with 2/3 elite talents (C-F, LW - Rogers?); and move on certain players for squad balance, PSR and game-time for them (Martinelli, Jesus, Norgaard). Wages will inevitably increase, bonuses due, some contract renewals required (Timber and a better deal for key player Rice).
Must consider making Rice captain. Club love Odegaard. Represents club well. But Rice is the real leader, the true force on the field.
Making sure fans continue to feel respected. Arsenal work well with fans (coach meet, tifos) and CEO Richard Garlick is respected by fans. Recent ticket increase a concern. Money generated from increase modest compared to money spent on agents. Arsenal do many things right (community/foundation) - and doing the right thing by fans will simply make the club even stronger. #AFC
