🚨 Declan Rice reveals Mikel Arteta called Arsenal’s World Cup stars after England reached the quarter-finals.

“The morning after our win, I got a phone call from Mikel Arteta congratulating me. He said he wants the World Cup to be won by an Arsenal player.

He didn’t just call me—he called every Arsenal player still involved in the tournament to wish them luck.

I had to joke with him though. I said, ‘Boss, you’re definitely supporting Mikel Merino and David Raya more than us - you are Spain by blood!’ 😂

“He just laughed.

🚨 Erling Haaland on the toughest defender he has faced:

🗣️ “Honestly, it’s those two Arsenal F.C. boys, Gabriel and Saliba. But Gabriel? That guy annoys me.

Gabriel doesn’t defend like somebody doing a job. He defends like a man trying to protect ancient secrets. I remember one time I checked my shoulder before receiving the ball and somehow he was already there staring at me aggressively. It’s honestly unsettling.”

“But seriously, he’s top class. Every striker complains about defenders like him because they make your life miserable, but deep down you respect them the most. I would absolutely love to have a player with that mentality in my team. Facing him again at the World Cup will be special.”

🚨 Carlo Ancelotti on why he did not celebrate wildly after Gabriel Martinelli’s late winner for Brazil against Japan:

🗣️ “People asked me why I didn’t celebrate, but football is also about respect. Yes, we were happy to win, but I looked across and saw a Japanese team that had given absolutely everything. They fought with incredible courage, and I know exactly how painful a defeat like that can be.”

“Of course I celebrated inside because my responsibility is to Brazil and qualifying was our objective. But I’ve been in football for many years, and I’ve experienced both victory and heartbreak. Sometimes the best way to respect your opponent is to remain humble in your biggest moments.”

“Japan made us suffer for ninety-five minutes. They deserved our respect, not exaggerated celebrations. Brazil are through, but we know we must improve. Tonight we celebrate the qualification, but tomorrow we go back to work because the World Cup only gets more difficult from here.”

Carlo Ancelotti is a legend

🚨Roy Keane on Arsenal 🗣️"Big clubs want Rice, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori... but not even one of them want to leave Arsenal.

🗣️We see this on the pitch. They play like a family. With passion. Not just for the money - they genuinely Love the club.

🗣️That’s why Arsenal will be a problem for every team in the league for years to come." ❤️🏆🔴⚪️

[Molly @Molly_AFC]

🚨🚨Did you know Arsenal have had the fewest managers of any club in Premier League history? 🏆

We’ve only had five in charge:
- *George Graham* 1986–1995 🏅
- *Bruce Rioch* 1995–1996
- *Arsène Wenger* 1996–2018 🧠
- *Unai Emery* 2018–2019
- *Mikel Arteta* 2019–present 🎨

That works out to roughly 7 years per manager on average 📈

Apart from Emery and Rioch, every single one shaped a whole era and gave us a clear identity.

At Arsenal, managers aren’t just coaches… they’re architects of the club’s DNA 🏗️🔴

[Uncle Chu @datchuguyy]

“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”

Arsene Wenger

[Anything Arsenal🇬🇧 @AnythingArs]

Arsène Wenger:

🗣️ “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.”

This is why so many Arsenal fans will forever defend Wenger.

While rivals were spending freely, Arsenal were carrying the weight of the Emirates project on their backs. Every summer felt like survival. Every top-four finish felt like a trophy. Every season, Wenger had to replace world-class players while keeping Arsenal competitive enough to secure Champions League football.

🔴 Sold stars. 🔴 Balanced the books. 🔴 Built a world-class stadium. 🔴 Kept Arsenal among Europe's elite.

Many managers would've walked away. Wenger stayed and carried the club through its most difficult financial era.

The trophies are part of his legacy. The fact Arsenal emerged from that period stronger, richer, and ready to compete again is the other part.

Without Wenger's sacrifices, there is no Arsenal of today.

Did you know? Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola all played for the same boys’ club 😲

The incredible story of how three teammates from San Sebastian all came to manage top Premier League clubs 👇

[Mo @Mo_Arsenal9]

Mikel Arteta was Arsenal’s vice-captain the last time Manchester United won the Premier League.

Since then, Arteta has retired, became a coach, became Arsenal manager, rebuilt the club and won the league.

Meanwhile, Man United have gone through 11 managerial appointments. 0 Premier League titles.
