🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯

“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.

But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.

You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”

Scotland play Israel this week. Today Israeli authorities have abducted two members of the Palestine women's national team.

When will it be enough for the Scottish FA/UEFA/FIFA to take a stand?

It is a travesty that Israel is permitted to play in international sport.

Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.

RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

🚨Arsenal have been praised for celebrating their men’s and women’s teams together during a joint trophy parade attended by around one million supporters.

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness says the club has set a new standard, urging others to treat women’s teams as core assets rather than secondary operations.

The women’s Champions Cup triumph was celebrated alongside Arsenal’s Premier League title, sending a powerful message about equality and integration.

Wyness believes more clubs will now follow Arsenal’s lead as women’s football continues to grow commercially and culturally.

No other club promote women football like Arsenal des and yet all we get is hate. The average attendance at Arsenal women is 30,000 while the league average is 6600.

Good morning to the enlightened, please electrically share this through the feeds and letterboxes of all the simpletons that you know. They can't win. #Farage #FarageRiots

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Farage has achieved his goal — to return from his hiding place with such outrageous statements that he hopes the questions about his £5m donation are now forgotten.

The media are duly obliging by focusing on his racist dog whistles instead of his corruption.

Trumpian.

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

This is why it pissed me off when Farage said the £5 million was for his security.

He repeatedly damages our national security by inciting violence across the UK...

While he sits safely behind hired guards and tall fences, that normal people can't afford.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?

[Yorkshire girl @helloKi30596224]

Can we keep Keir Starmer and sack Chris Mason?
We do, after all, pay Mason's hugely inflated salary.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Southampton

11 Police Officer injured
1 Police Dog injured

The racists own this
The agitators own this
Farage owns this

The disrespect for the family is sickening from all involved all for personal grift and gain

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

Trump announced a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel yesterday.

Israel responded by dropping over 50 bombs on Lebanon today, killing over 10.

There is NEVER peace with these people.

.@lisanandy needs to go. As Culture Secretary, she’s had years to tackle media reform, yet disinformation, outrage farming and deliberate attempts to inflame tensions continue unchecked across parts of the media landscape, especially GBNews.

It’s time for someone with the courage to act: implement the remaining Leveson recommendations, strengthen media accountability, increase transparency around ownership, and have a serious debate about foreign influence in British media.

The media should inform the public, not divide it for clicks and profit. Time is running out, and the government can no longer afford to sit on its hands.

[Candice Holmes @hol40900]

.@Nigel_Farage you asked for "pure cold rage." Here you go.
Henry's father begged for unity. You demanded division.

That's not leadership. That's incitement. And history won't be kind to those who lit the match and called it passion. 🔥

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israel announces that surviving Palestinians will be expelled from Gaza.

No headlines.

No statements of outrage from politicians.

Silence.

Well done @BBCNews @BBCPolitics for playing your part in the latest #FarageRiots
Platforming Reform all day across BBC output, Zia Yusuf, Matt Goodwin and clips of Farage.

@Ofcom @lisanandy you’re supposed to regulate the media. You’re failing us.
