A torn ACL sidelined @gabrieljesus9 for almost a year. Back on the pitch, he’s ready to help @Arsenal wake up the sleeping giant: “People have asked, ‘Why don’t you just leave? Why don’t you go to Saudi? Or back home to Brazil?’
One day, I would love for everything to come full circle with Palmeiras, but not today.
I feel that I have unfinished business at Arsenal. I don’t want to leave. When I came here to join Mikel, my purpose was not only to score goals. My purpose was to win titles. When I came to the Premier League, I think most people’s reaction was, ‘Oh? Who is this kid?’ They looked at me as a pure goalscorer. But that’s not how I see myself. My strongest trait is that I will do whatever it takes to help the team win titles. At City, I played many roles. I shared the goal scoring load with Agüero sometimes. Other times, I played out on the wing. And other times, I used my physicality to link up play. I think that’s why Mikel brought me here, years ago. I don’t always need to be the number 9 to help the team.
I am not still here for the weather, eh?
I am here to make history.
And I know you all don’t follow Brazilian football here in England, but let me give you a quick history lesson! When I got called to the main team at Palmeiras, when I was 18, they hadn’t won the Brazilian league in 22 years.
We woke up the ‘sleeping giant’ and won the title, and now they can’t stop winning. I go back there sometimes, and I walk the halls at the club, and all you see are trophies, trophies, trophies.
Pictures of old legends, and pictures of the ‘new legends.’
I think it can be the same at Arsenal. We can wake up the sleeping giant. I have worked with Mikel since I came to this country, and I know what he demands from me. It’s the same as he demands from the chef. Everything, every day.
With this manager and this squad, we can do it. I trust my football. I trust God’s plan. And I know that if I get a chance, I can help the team with the league.” https://t.co/uoGJZ0KcNX
One of the worst and most unacceptable things to do in American discourse is to humanize Israel's war victims and especially the young Palestinian amputees and disabled kids from Israel's US-funded savagery:
So many streaming options, but at the end of the day it comes down to ethics. If Disney does not put ESPN back on YouTube Tv by Monday I am cancelling my Disney Plus/Hulu subscription. Too much greed. Fock’em!
I have about 6-7 streaming services, including the Hulu/ESPN/disney plus combo.
But I don’t have ESPN Unlimited so I can’t watch MNF.
I’ve never been more radicalized by anything in the last 10 years than I am by this.
I have NBA League Pass
I have Disney+
I have Hulu
I have Apple TV
I have Amazon Prime
I have Netflix
I have HBO Max
I have Paramount Plus
I have YouTube TV
Yet I cannot watch my favorite basketball team. Fix this @espn!
Busi, eres la definición de cómo ser excepcional sin dejar de ser un tío normal. Rival la mayoría de veces, compañero otras muchas, siempre has sobresalido por tu fútbol de clase, visión y calidad, y por tu forma de ser humilde y auténtica.
El fútbol pierde a uno de los mediocentros más brillantes con los que he jugado, pero te vas con el reconocimiento y la gratitud de todos los que hemos convivido contigo y de todos los que aman este deporte.
Gracias por ser un gran jugador, un gran compañero y un gran amigo. Te deseo lo mejor para tu nueva etapa. Besos grandes, brother @5sergiob.
Dave Chappelle ended his SNL monologue with a plea to Trump:
"Whether people voted for you or not, they're all counting on you. Please, all of us, do better next time. Don't forget your humanity, & have empathy for displaced people, whether they're in the Palisades or Palestine"
everyone’s bringing up the hunger games for donald sutherland but for me it will always be pride and prejudice. what a loving and delightful portrayal of mr bennet
