Congratulations to all the Arsenal fans and in particular one
@M8Arteta put the club on his shoulders, trusted the process, and shaped everything around him. He never doubted that, at some point, despite, and because of, the endless hours of work, the big rewards would come.
Here it is 🏆
The treble/quadruple Arsenal talk started in January if not before
That's setting an impossible bar that's been reached almost never in football history.
If they win the Premier League, that IS a massive success. Reaching the CL quarter-finals, on the back of the semis last year, IS success. They are growing.
Comparing them to the greatest sides in history and then criticise them every time they fall short, more than holding them to high standards, is IMO just a way to deny them credit for what they're actually achieving.
Having said that, today is certainly a disappointment.
Both statements are true.
GW29 is the start of a new event, The Dependables, three GW’s of 6-a-side Challenges that celebrate the dependable and consistent performers.
GW29 challenge is ’90 minutes’, +6 points for players who complete 90 minutes and do not get substituted or receive a red card.
*FPL Challenge – Midlands Clash* 🤯
Wolves Joao Gomes (28) was the big differential for GW28 top-scoring challenger Aaron Sinclair-Day. The Wolves midfielder gained almost half of Major League Saka’s total of 57 points.
David also topped the GW25-28 Rivalries event with a total of 239 points for another unique double. Congratulations David, that is an event fiver is on its way. 🤑🤘🏻
Easy man, you are bleeding me dry here. 😂

*February Manager Of The Month* 📆
Following his back-to-back top totals in GW’s 25-26 it is no surprise that Februarys Manager of the Month is David Leitch with an incredible 30 points gap to the next highest manager Jake Jarvis. Congrats David, a tenner is on its way. 🤑✌🏻
A special mention for Jake, who, in true Jarvis-style, is going quietly and effictively about his business at the top of the league, a true ‘chip off the old block’.
*Last Manager Standing* 💀
Laying down on the job are Nice One Sonny! Boss Will Milne with a lowly 45 points and GW27 hero to zero Christian Parker with 53. Unlucky boys, you’re out!
Good evening managers, here on the cusp of the GW29 deadline is your GW28 summary.

Dai Newman had the same GW kings as John, however it was new-boy Hugo Ekitike that took the Whales armband. A further Team of the Weeker, Fulham’s in-for Harry Wilson provided a further 12 points for a fifth consecutive green arrow and the top unassisted GW score of 91 points.
