“There was a time we had 90 million turnover and we had to pay back 22 million per year for the stadium, I couldn’t sleep because we had to qualify for the champions league to pay back the money. We had to sell our best players. Other clubs came in with lots of money but we were on the same level from 2007 to 2016”

@Chambo_afc@TikiTakaConnor@afcnewsroom The richer footballers (just about anyone at Arsenal) sometimes fly their closest friends out to move there with them or visit frequently, but it’s great to see them all getting along so well
@alexmoneypenny If the former captain of an overachieving mid-table team can’t be trusted to close out a scrappy, rainy, haramball game against bottom of the table, single-digit-point-possessing Wolves, what the fuck did we sign him for?
Ebere Eze is the North Star of North London. A cultural constellation. A galactico of God. What he offers on a tactical level was clear to see last night, but what he brings to this Arsenal side spiritually is unquantifiable.
