Every Ornstein bomb is like:

🚨 Calmly dropping this explosive news. Two bits of relevant details. btw anybody who told you [this] is a fuckin clown. Big news for #club. @theathleticfc

“This Arsenal squad are the worst to win it ever”

So that makes Arteta the greatest manager of the PL era as he won them the title.

Contradictions.

@ESPNFC Official ESPN you know , we have not done half of what these people did to us

[The Football Era @Footballera0]

Max Dowman — 16
Edwin Quintero — 16
Holger Quintero — 16
Jeremy Monga — 16
Victor Ozhianvuna — 16

Yeah Arsenal’s future is in safe hands for the next decade.

[MUTD KERALA @ManUtdMUK]

Leicester have included 15y/o Jeremy Monga in the squad for the FA Cup fixture today - a serious talent.

Highly unpredictable LW/RW, pacy, excellent dribbler, deadly finisher and both-footed ball striker… England’s Ousmane Dembélé.

A winger I’d love Arsenal’s academy to sign…

[MichaeI @MichaelBx14]

Mad how times have changed

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

🚨 EXCL: Arsenal have now agreed full personal terms with Jeremy Monga. Still work to be done on the mechanism of his exit as the English Champions want to close the deal.

As I understand it, Berta met with the English teen sensation’s entourage and laid out a pathway similar to that of Max Dowman at the club. A loan move for Monga cannot also be ruled out once the teenager is settled.

Monga has given full preference to Arsenal over multiple clubs including City & Leverkusen. Story W/ @scoutingindoors

[Gian Maria Volonté @obisingledigit]

City sponsorship is 67m conveniently paid from their sister company. Pure criminality. Arrest and jail everybody in that Organisation including Bernardo Silva.

Be a Patrick Vieira, not a Tony Adams.

Publicly support, don't publicly degrade.

Football Twitter treats Arsenal like the main character and then gets upset when Arsenal fans act like the main character.
Good night

@Evra It’s not who I think it is, I love this game 😂😂

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.

Clubs were posting their European trophies from 3+ years ago when we lost the final but we’re the insecure ones loool

[Cost of living crisis @un0themones]

This narrative about rival fans hating Arsenal because of arsenal fan tv is the worst gaslighting attempt ever. Everyone loved that channel when we were losing

[Abubakar @olabodela]

Winners are having the PL trophy parade today. Losers are reminiscing on a major trophy they won decades ago. Standards.

[Adeyemi of Eruwa 🇳🇬🇬🇧 @Adeyemi_AFC]

If you watch the game live, you might see officiating bias, but when you watch it back, you total CORRUPTION
