![UTD_Seth001's tweet photo. 🚨 Noni Madueke on his conversation with Ezri Konsa at full-time after Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest:
“Honestly, that was a brutal game tonight. You come to Nottingham Forest knowing it’s going to be tough, physical and cagey, but I don’t think anybody warned us that we were coming to a WWE Royal Rumble. [laughs]
After the game, I saw Ezri Konsa walking towards me, and I asked him, ‘Bro, what on earth was that today with Liam Delap? Why did you look like you had just completed 12 rounds with Anthony Joshua?’
He looked at me, lifted his hands and said, ‘Noni, look at my fingers, man. LOOK AT MY FINGERS!’
I thought he was joking at first, but the guy was genuinely looking at his hands like he had just survived a car accident. [laughs]
He said, ‘That boy Delap is a monster! I went out there to defend, not to participate in a UFC heavyweight championship. Every time I thought I had him under control, he turned around, held the ball up, pushed me, ran behind me or started another fight. I need my family to appreciate me because I have suffered for this clean sheet.’
Honestly, I couldn’t stop laughing. I told him, ‘Ezri, you’re a professional footballer. What did you expect? Flowers and chocolates?’
He said, ‘Noni, you don’t understand. You were playing further forward, enjoying yourself, scoring goals and celebrating. Meanwhile, I’m at the back fighting for my life. I saw my career flash before my eyes twice!’
And the funniest thing is that Delap wasn’t even giving him time to recover. You’d think after one physical battle, the defender would get a few seconds to breathe, but no. Another ball comes in, another run, another shoulder-to-shoulder challenge. At some point, I think Ezri started asking the referee if he could substitute his fingers. [laughs]
But that’s what Nottingham Forest do to you. You come here expecting a football match, and suddenly you’re involved in a survival challenge. Every ball is a fight, every second ball is another fight, and even when you think you’ve won the battle, somebody comes along and starts a new one.
We have to give Forest credit because they made life extremely difficult for us. They didn’t allow us to play comfortably, and Delap gave their defenders a serious problem. The boy is strong, aggressive and always looking to compete. I was happy I wasn’t the one marking him because, after seeing Ezri’s hands, I would have started looking for a tactical reason to play on the opposite wing. [laughs]
Thankfully, we got the goal, we got the win and we are going home with three points. Sometimes, you have to thank God, defend properly and get out of the stadium before the opposition’s striker asks for another 90 minutes.
And yes, I’m happy I scored, but after speaking to Ezri, I think we should probably send him a thank-you card. Maybe some ice, a box of chocolates and a message saying, ‘Dear Ezri, thank you for your service. Your fingers will be remembered.’ [laughs]
Hopefully, we perform better in our next game because we cannot keep making every match this stressful. I don’t think my heart can take it, and I’m certainly not volunteering to play centre-back after what I witnessed tonight.
As for Ezri Konsa, I just hope his fingers recover before our next match. We need him defending strikers, not booking an appointment with a hand surgeon. And somebody please tell Delap that football is a contact sport, not a personal mission to destroy every defender in the Premier League!”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HU79iNwWEAAsOCU.jpg)

Even Declan Rice had to show his appreciation to Noni Madueke after that strike 😮💨
Sunday service.
Leading the PL Assists table so far this season…
You can tell who their teacher is. 😭
Mikel.......
🚨 Noni Madueke on what Mikel Arteta told him after Arsenal’s 1–0 win over Nottingham Forest:
🗣️ Noni Madueke: “Mikel came straight to me after the final whistle, and the first thing he said was, ‘You did your job. You came off the bench, changed the energy, and got the winning goal. That’s good, but we can still do better.’
“He told me, ‘You gave us that spark, but at times you left too much space behind you, allowed them to counter, and let the game get a bit too open. I need you focused every second because your job doesn't end when you pass or score.’
“That is Mikel Arteta. Even when we win a huge game away from home, he doesn’t let us get comfortable. He wants me to keep driving at defenders, taking risks, and creating goals, but he demands total discipline off the ball. At Arsenal, everyone has to press, track back, and stay compact. You can’t just wait for the ball to come back to your feet.
“He also spoke to me about my role. Starting on the bench or coming on as a finisher isn’t a punishment—it’s part of the strategy. He wants me to accept every role with the right mindset and be ready to impact the match whenever my moment comes.
“Honestly, I appreciate that honesty. He doesn’t care about the headlines or who scored the winner; if you leave spaces or drop your intensity, he’ll tell you straight. He reminds us that true contenders aren't judged just by individual highlights, but by how every single player works for the team.
“People and media can talk all they want about my game or my minutes on the pitch, but I have a manager who tells me the truth. Mikel wants me to become a complete player, and if I want to reach the highest level, I have to fight, defend, and deliver for this team every single week.”

🚨 🗣️ Breaking: Ainsley Maitland-Niles on why he refused to take the knee before Everton vs Chelsea:
“Honestly, I feel like these gestures have become formalities. We take the knee before matches, cameras capture the moment, and everyone moves on. But what actually changes?
“I have experienced racism throughout my career, from my time at Arsenal to Lyon and now back at Everton. Yet I rarely see meaningful consequences for those responsible. How many more Black players must suffer before real action is taken?
“Behind every racist insult is a human being being humiliated for the colour of their skin. Imagine giving everything to football, entertaining millions, only to be reminded that some people still believe you are worth less because you are Black.
“I am tired of seeing beautiful messages against racism followed by the same ugly reality. Taking the knee means nothing if the people responsible face no consequences.
“I don’t want another photograph of players taking the knee. I want to see real punishment, real accountability and real change. Black players deserve to feel protected, respected and safe, not just for the 60 seconds before kick-off, but every single day.

If you are a fan of football, a fan of the premier league @premierleague then, you will enjoy this video. It’s all about the King, Thiery Henry
🚨🇫🇷 Thierry Henry on Viktor Gyökeres after scoring against Romania:
🗣️“Gyökeres has scored in seven consecutive Nations League games. Nobody has done that before. Before questioning the striker, ask why he scores freely for Sweden but struggles regularly for Arsenal.
Last season he scored 21 goals in all competitions and helped Arsenal win the Premier League. The quality and goals have not disappeared. He has not suddenly changed.
A striker needs service. You cannot ask your number nine to create chances, make runs, beat defenders and finish alone. Sweden find him, play to his strengths and give him chances; he scores.
Arsenal must look at themselves. The attackers must create more, and Arteta must use Gyökeres properly. Do not make a striker like this the problem; build around his strengths.
Give him chances, then judge him. If Arsenal create more, he will score. He is a goal machine. We have already seen it.”
📷 Bukayo Saka played the full 90 minutes, scored a brace, took the joint-most shots (5), created a chance, and earned a 9.0 rating in England’s 7-0 demolition of Croatia.
Ezri Konsa also played the full 90 minutes and recorded 6 defensive contributions, winning 75% of his ground duels.
Eberechi Eze came on and played 20 minutes, while Myles Lewis-Skelly also came on and featured for 11 minutes.
Arsene Wenger is owed an apology after Man City verdict. Football should have listened to his incredible insight in summer of 2011. City picking off another Arsenal player on the back of a record sponsorship deal. His words are so striking in retrospect https://t.co/kjZPV40oV7
🚨Bruno Guimaraes’ goal against Sunderland has been nominated for the Premier League September Goal of the Month.
First Arsenal goal. First nomination. 🚀
🗣️ Thierry Henry: "This guy... You show him something, he puts it in his computer and then he does it."
Roger Federer is just different. 👀🤣
30 years on from a monumental day in @Arsenal's history ❤️
On this day in 1996, Arsène Wenger was announced as Arsenal manager. He went on to become the most successful manager in FA Cup history with seven titles to his name 🏆
Mikel Arteta: “Riccardo Calafiori is a free bird. If you put strings on him, it won’t work. There are players you need to allow to express themselves & NOT restrict them to certain areas, because that’s where they flow & make others flow.” 🔥🇮🇹
THE BEST GOALKEEPER IN THE LEAGUE.
A penalty save to marvel at 🤯
Fully deserved 👏
Mikel Arteta has been nominated for the 2026 Ballon d'Or Men's Coach of the Year award 👇
