@Louis_Akindele They feel so coz everyone is watching Arsenal matches for sure. Not sure other clubs can brag that.

A historic moment for Indian football fans! As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, we will have two players of Indian heritage gracing the global stage. 🌏⚽

19-year-old winger Tahsin Mohammed Jamshid makes history as the first player of Indian origin selected for the Qatar national team, carrying the immense pride of his family roots in Kannur, Kerala. Meanwhile, Australia’s 26-man squad features Melbourne Victory’s dynamic 25-year-old winger Nishan Velupillay, whose origins are in Tamil Nadu.

They follow in the footsteps of Vikash Dhorasoo, the elegant and creative midfielder whose forefathers hailed from Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh (migrating to Mauritius and later to France), who played for the French National Team in the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, winning a runners-up medal.

Seeing the global Indian diaspora make its mark on football’s grandest platform is an absolute joy. Best of luck to both young men as they head to North America! 🇦🇺🇶🇦🇮🇳 #FIFAWorldCup #IndianDiaspora

🚨Josh Kroenke’s words after yesterday’s parade hit different ❤️ He Said…..

🗣️With what I witnessed yesterday night in London, I think we need this every year.”

🗣️I will do all it takes, provide everything needed, do all that I need to do without hesitation.”

And then he said it with full chest: “I believe we are currently the best club in England, with no doubt.🥰

Seeing him on that bus singing, holding the trophy high, wearing that brothers Saliba/Gabriel shirt you could feel it. He’s not just the owner anymore… he’s one of us. Living the dream with the fans who stayed loyal through everything.

This is the standard now. Proper love from the top. We deserve this energy every season.

COYG 🔥🏆❤️ Who else got goosebumps reading his words?

@GunnerMasala Arsenal n MI
Two extreme end of emotions for us

[zola @zola_254]

You can buy referees, you can fix matches, you can hide agent fees, you can breach all FFP rules but you can't buy either loyalty or respect because they are not given. THEY ARE EARNED

30 years ago, I went to a village in the outskirts of Salem, while washing my hand in a public tap , I found worms in the water, then i came to know that people in that village used this water for drinking and cooking.

When I climbed the tank I saw a cesspool inside. Dead cats, crows, slippers, bottles etc. the tank had no lid. It was a 30000 ltr over head drinking water tank.

There were 3 other tanks in the same village, each was worse than the other. Spoke to the village president, he expressed his helplessness. Then I approached the BDO ( Block development officer) he said every panchayat gets funds it's upto them to do the cleaning , everyone in the bureaucracy was driving me from pillar to post just to clean the tank in public interest

People of course were expecting others to do the cleaning. So as a trial I got permission from the village president to clean the tank , i employed few boys to do the job. These water tanks were not cleaned for many many years before that. While cleaning 🧹 we removed one feet thick of black sediments from each tank. Then we gave a coat of white cement inside, and put a lid where it was missing.

The response from the people was overwhelming, the word spread and village after village invited us to get the water tanks cleaned. In each tank we painted the last cleaned date, this became a trend, every three months I sent my boys to clean the tanks. At one stage we were serving over 150 villages in Salem district, we did this service for 12 years and ensured every village got clean potable drinking water

If serving people is politics so be it

This is a reminder to all the fans who think fans who reach the stadiums are the only ones who matter. Clubs have Billion dollar valuation n can spend big coz fans across the world are paying to watch the team on TV. Serie A, Budesliga hardly has any visibility n fan base in India. EPL had first mover advantage n leveraging it big

[Ashwin Doke @ashwindoke]

People who build (founders) and selling to the world will understand how big a step and investment this is.

You can have a brilliant product but you won’t have buyers if compliance teams block you. After a stage you need to start building n investing for risk n compliance. With time it becomes your moat too.

Rich kids also succeed in hard things.

The story of Gabriel Martinelli should inspire you too,

but most people don’t even know how hard he came to been

People love the “poor boy from the streets” football story.

But Martinelli’s journey was different.

He was born in Guarulhos, Brazil in 2001, and from a young age, his father believed his son was destined for something bigger. Not just ordinary belief. Real sacrifice.

Real commitment.

His father kept taking him from one football opportunity to another.
From Brazil to Europe.
From one trial to the next.
Spending money.
Taking risks.

Refusing to give up on his child’s dream.

Most people don’t understand what it takes for a family in South America to keep chasing opportunities in Europe.

The flights.
The paperwork.
The uncertainty.
The pressure.

And still, they kept going.

Martinelli had multiple trials at Manchester United.
Not once.
Not twice.
Four different times.

Trained with young players and met stars like Zlatan Ibrahimović, Paul Pogba, and Wayne Rooney.

But Manchester United never signed him.

Imagine the emotional pressure.

A father spending almost everything he has trying to create a future for his son.

A young boy traveling across countries chasing one opportunity.

Then rejection after rejection.

At some point, many families would have stopped.

Many people would have accepted defeat.

But the father never gave up on his son’s dream

Just when the dream was close to dying,

Arsenal came knocking.

Arsenal took the chance.

Saw his potential.
And the rest became history.

Today, Martinelli plays with passion because he understands how close he was to losing everything.

How close the dream was to ending before it even began.

Sometimes success is not just “from poor to rich.”

He have had a call up to represent Brazil a this year FIFA World Cup.

Yesterday, he stood beside his dad at Selhurst Park celebrating the first Premier League title of his career.

And the moment he got his medal, he immediately placed it on his father.

Then he hugged him so tight.

Honestly, it was such an emotional moment to watch.

I almost dropped a tear.

Sometimes success is:
good parenting,
sacrifice,
discipline,
belief,

and refusing to quit after repeated rejection.

That is why stories like Martinelli’s matter.

Behind many successful people is someone who kept believing in them when the world said no.

People see footballers lifting trophies, but they rarely see the people who carried the dream before the world believed in it.

That moment was bigger than football.

It was the reward for a father who refused to stop believing in his son…
