@TeaKupps Considering he still makes up for the few 'errors' massively at his age is still outstanding. Remember in w 2022 he gave away the ball that led to France's second goal. Some instances that show he indeed is still human.
People underestimate how deeply their environment shapes who they become.
Your habits slowly become your identity.
Your friends quietly become your standards.
Your daily routine eventually becomes your future.
Sometimes, changing your life does not begin with changing your goals. It begins with changing the places, people, and patterns that keep pulling you back.
My joy in this title winning is that NOBODY will say they carried this team to win it. This title belongs to everyone. And I mean EVERYONE.
Yes, Rice was elite.
Raya was elite.
Gabriel and Saliba were elite.
Timber was elite. Five players you point to and say — these are the best five this season. Fine.
But let me ask you something.
Do we win this title if Martinelli doesn't score that last-second equalizer against Man City?
Do we win it if Eze doesn't produce two maverick performances against Spurs to kill them off?
Do we win it if Saka doesn't score that one clinical goal against Brighton at the Amex — one goal, 1-0, job done?
Do we win it if Ødegaard doesn't come on and, like a man possessed, creates something from absolutely nothing? Do we win it without Trossard's goal against West Ham? Those two guys stepping up when it mattered most?
Do we win if Max Dowman doesnt come off the bench against Everton and wins us the game?
Do we win if Madueke doesn't score against Brentford (1-1) to keep the pressure on City?
Do we win if Merino — despite the whole world screaming "don't bring him on" — doesn't come on at St James' Park and scores the goal that wins it. Against chelsea to score the equaliser when they were ten men?
Do we win if Zubimendi doesn't score those two bangers against Nottingham Forest to help us put them to the sword 3-0.
And remember the beginning? Calafiori. Set piece. 1-0. Day one, telling us exactly what kind of season this was going to be. Do we win if not for him?
Then Zubimendi gasses out and Myles Lewis-Skelly walks into the team like he's been here for years.
Do we win if Kai Havertz didn't score from a corner, 1-0 against Burnley — doing exactly what the team needed.?
When Calafiori got injured. When Timber got injured. Do we survive without Mosquera and Hincapié coming in and performing at a level nobody expected? Do we survive without Ben White?
And even beyond all that — Jesus, Nwaneri — they weren't the league's critical performers, but they were around. They took the load off in cup competitions. They kept people fresh. They mattered.
This is what I find so incredibly beautiful about this title.
Nobody carried it. Nobody can look at this squad and say "I did that." Because everyone did that. From the starter who kept a clean sheet to the sub who came on for 15 minutes and scored. From the academy kid who nobody expected to the veteran who showed up when the season needed him most.
This is not a one-man trophy. This is not even a five-man trophy.
This is 25 men, a manager, a coaching staff, and a culture — all deciding in the same moment that this is the year.
Good old-fashioned football. A team sport. Beautiful, mehn.
I can’t describe my feelings right now… Football always gives back to those who keep believing.. To the fans who kept believing, you deserve this… Arsenal; the club that will stay in my heart forever, you deserve this… The players and everyone at the club who made it happen, you deserve this… Congratulations to the best club in the world ❤️ @Arsenal
Drake shouts out Bukayo Saka on a new ICEMAN track:
“Hooks on hooks, got the crowd going mad
Cut in from the right like the boy from Hale End
One touch, bend it, keeper can’t recover
Golden boy flow, yeah that’s Bukayo Saka”

🚨 Luis Enrique: “I've never seen such an intensity and physical level. We have to congratulate everyone”.
“We deserved to win, we deserved to draw and we deserved to lose today. It was a fantastic game”.
He wasn't masturbating. What actually happened to his body is significantly worse than any joke.
When the fourth pyroclastic surge hit Pompeii, it arrived at 300°C. That's 572°F. The thermal human survival threshold is 200°C. This man died in a fraction of a second. His brain stopped before a single pain signal completed its circuit.
What you're looking at is cadaveric spasm. It's a rare form of instant muscular stiffening that only occurs during sudden violent death by extreme heat. The 300°C surge cooked the proteins in his muscle fibers so fast that his body locked into whatever position it was in at the exact moment of impact. Arms, legs, fingers, toes all contracted simultaneously. 73% of Pompeii's victims were found frozen in "life-like" stances mid-action. Running. Crawling. Shielding children. This man was probably just lying down.
The flexed limb position you're laughing at appears in nearly every Pompeii body. It's called the pugilistic attitude. Heat shrinks tendons faster than bone, curling arms and legs inward. Boxers after a fire look the same way. The position has zero connection to what the person was doing. Pure thermodynamics.
For centuries, archaeologists assumed these people suffocated on ash. A 2010 study proved they were wrong. Researchers heated modern human bone samples to various temperatures, compared them to Pompeii victims, and found the color and cracking patterns matched exposure to 250-300°C. Death was instantaneous. There was "no time to suffocate."
This isn't even his body. It's a plaster cast of the void he left behind. His flesh decomposed inside the hardened volcanic ash. In 1863, Giuseppe Fiorelli poured liquid plaster into the hollow cavity. What you see is the shape of absence.
9.4 million people looked at a man who was incinerated alive in a quarter-second and the main reaction was a punchline. The science of how he actually died is one of the most disturbing findings in modern archaeology.
