The Rams have been excellent at getting value out of undrafted players, as evidenced by PFF's analysis.

Mexico has undoubtedly been the most welcoming host nation; earning praise and gratitude from fans, coaches, and players. ❤️🇺🇿

"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."

Nassrawis… what a season. From day one, we knew what we wanted and what it would take to get there. We worked, fought and gave everything in every training and every game. It wasn’t an easy road, but we did it together. Thank you for believing in us and standing by our side every step of the way.

Lee’s reputation as one of the greatest martial artists in history was not only built on his speed and philosophy but also on the physical conditioning he put his body through.....

One of his most famous training practices was iron fist conditioning, a method rooted in traditional Chinese martial arts.

By repeatedly striking hard surfaces such as sand, gravel, and wooden posts, Lee gradually toughened the bones, muscles, and skin of his hands. Over time, this process created visible calluses and enlarged knuckles, which allowed him to deliver devastating strikes without injuring himself.

This training was not about brute force alone. It required immense patience, precision, and an understanding of the body’s limits. Striking too hard or too often risked fractures or long-term damage. Lee’s discipline allowed him to transform what might seem like destructive training into a methodical path toward resilience.

Iron conditioning remains controversial among martial artists today, but Bruce Lee’s results spoke for themselves. His ability to break boards, stun opponents with a single strike, and maintain unmatched speed all owed something to this rigorous practice.

🚨🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney on West Ham United vs Arsenal Game: 🤯

“People keep talking about individuals, moments, luck, referees and all the rest of it, but when I watch Arsenal, I see a proper football team. I see a side that is coached at the very highest level. Honestly, if you don’t rate this Arsenal team or you can’t understand the level of football they’re playing, then I’m sorry, you simply do not know football. And I’m saying that as someone who’s played the game at the top level for years.

This Arsenal side are unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. They are so compact, so organised, so disciplined in everything they do. There are no gaps, no panic, no unnecessary risks. Every single player understands his role. When you watch them, you almost don’t even see individuals anymore, you see a programme. You see a machine. Everything is synchronised. It takes a very high football IQ and tactical understanding to truly appreciate the level this team operates at.

People will watch them and say ‘they’re boring’ or ‘they’re robotic’, but do you know what I call it? Elite. I call it winning football. I call it a team that knows exactly who they are. There’s a reason they leave no lapses for opponents. There’s a reason teams struggle to break them down. There’s a reason they control matches the way they do. That doesn’t happen by accident.

I backed Arsenal from the very beginning of the season to win this league and people laughed at me. People told me City would walk it, people said Arsenal would bottle it again, but look where we are now. Two games left and Arsenal are on the verge of becoming champions. And honestly, I’m delighted for them because they deserve it.

The fans deserve it as well. Arsenal supporters have waited a long, long time for this feeling. They’ve gone through years of frustration, banter, disappointment, nearly moments, false dawns, all of it. But they stayed patient. They kept believing in the club, believing in the process, believing in the manager and the players. Now they’re finally about to get rewarded for that patience.

I think Mikel Arteta deserves enormous credit because what he’s built is not just a good side, it’s a culture. There’s standards there now. Serious standards. Every player fights for each other, every player works, every player sacrifices. That’s why they’re champions in my eyes.

And I’ll say this as a Manchester United man, this is the level I want Manchester United to get back to. This is the standard. Watching Arsenal now reminds me of what elite football clubs should look like. The control, the hunger, the mentality, the structure. When you get to this level, football becomes enjoyable again for the fans because they trust their team completely.

Arsenal fans can finally smile again because this team has given them something to be proud of. And I genuinely believe this is only the beginning for them. I think they’re going to do great things over the next few years.

So to everyone who laughed at my prediction earlier in the season, you’re not laughing now. Maybe it’s time people start respecting this Arsenal side properly because what they’re doing is special.”

🚨🎙️ Clarence Seedorf on the ‘celebration police’ going at Arsenal fans.

🗣️ “I find it strange, very strange, that people criticise Arsenal fans for celebrating a final. I’ve won this competition with AC Milan and Real Madrid. Let me tell you: reaching the final is not normal. It’s exceptional. If you cannot celebrate that, then you don’t understand football.

At the highest level, emotion can be your strength or your weakness. Supporters should bring the emotion. The team must bring control. If Arsenal mix those two roles, they will have a problem.

People who say ‘don’t celebrate’, I wonder if they have ever been in a Champions League final. Because if you have, you know how many top teams fail before that stage. Respect the journey. Then finish the job.

People underestimate how hard it is to get there. Respect the moment, but don’t get comfortable in it.

Celebrate, yes. Be satisfied? Never. That’s the difference at the top level.”

Mikel Arteta on Takehiro Tomiyasu:

“He gives us everything — discipline, intelligence, and the ability to adapt. A defender you can trust anywhere.”

Right, here’s one not everyone fully appreciates.

Not flashy.
Not loud.
Doesn’t chase headlines.

But when he’s fit?

Different level.

Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The Deadline Day Fix

Summer 2021.

Arsenal were a mess.

Bottom of the league after three games.
No goals scored. Confidence shot.

They needed something — anything — to steady it.

So they went to Bologna and brought in a 22-year-old defender on deadline day.

No hype signing.

Just a player who looked serious.

And played even more serious.

Not Your Typical Full-Back

From the moment he stepped in, you could see it.

This wasn’t a modern, bomb-forward, highlight-reel full-back.

This was:

Tight defensively
Strong in the air
Comfortable on both feet
Positionally switched on

Right-back. Left-back. Centre-back.

Didn’t matter.

He just slotted in and got on with it.

The Salah Job

October 2022.
Emirates Stadium bouncing.

Liverpool in town.

And Mikel Arteta makes a call —
drops his natural left-back and sticks Tomiyasu on the left.

One job:

Handle Mohamed Salah.

No drama.

No diving in.

Just stays tight, reads him, matches him stride for stride.

Inside? Blocked.
Outside? Covered.

Not easy. Never is.

But he made it look… controlled.

The Frustration

And here’s the problem.

Every time he builds momentum…
something goes.

Calf. Knee. Muscle.

Out again.

And you’re left thinking:

“What if he could just stay fit?”

Because when he plays, you see it straight away.

Balance. Structure. Calm.

The Utility Man Arsenal Needed

In a squad full of specialists, Tomiyasu’s something else.

He’s the one you trust when things get messy.

Need someone to lock down a winger?

Him.

Need someone to tuck in and make a back three?

Him.

Need someone to just defend, properly?

Him again.

No fuss. No ego.

Just does the job.

Simple As This

He won’t win the headlines.

He won’t be the poster boy.

But ask any Arsenal fan who watches week in, week out?

They know.

When Tomiyasu plays —
the defence feels right.

Proper defender.
Silent operator.
Tomi.
