I insist that kidnapping be made a capital offence across the country. It's now a serious menace. A strong deterrent is needed.

The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.

Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.

Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.

The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.

Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.

That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.

Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.

People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.

Babachir wants to run as VP, but with Atiku as the flagbearer... It's not happening. Baba has bolted.

🔥🔥🔥BREAKING: Former SGF Babachir Lawal has announced his resignation from the ADC following Atiku Abubakar's emergence as the party's presidential candidate, saying Tinubu would be a better president than the former vice president.

Lawal said the ADC presidential primary results were written to favour Atiku and insisted he won't be part of the former vice president's rigging machine in the 2027 presidential election.

He added that Atiku is incompetent and a tribal, religious bigot who shouldn't come close to the presidential office.

Hey, awesome June, be good. 🙏

[Sam/FIFA Brit @FIFABrit]

Not surprised that people are immediately trying to write revisionist history about the game today. That’s what idiots do

-Arsenal scored from open play. PSG could not

-PSG needed a penalty, conceded by Arsenal’s 3rd string RB, to score at all

-Outside of that penalty, PSG did not record a shot on target inside the box until the 117th minute

-PSG needed a penalty shootout to win the game

Casual fans will look at the possession and the shots, without understanding that Arsenal allowed PSG to have the ball and shoot it from non-threatening areas on purpose

At the end of the day, PSG deserved to win, because they stepped up when it mattered

But anybody suggesting that Arsenal didn’t play well, or didn’t execute their plan to perfection, is either lying to you for interactions, or they are genuinely incapable of analyzing the game that they just watched

It really is that simple, at the end of the day

The 2005 FA Cup final taught me a lot about finals.

It was against Manchester United. They did everything, but it was 0-0 at full-time, and Arsenal won it on penalties.
