Ja’Kobe Tharp just broke the world record in the 110m hurdles during the NCAA Championship prelims.
He ran 12.75(Previous World Record was 12.80 in 2012). Tharp’s personal best before this was 13.01. Dropping .26 seconds in the 110m hurdles is absurd.
🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯
“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.
But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.
You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”

One thing that @SkySportsPL and @premierleague does well, is that the announcers stay quiet when it’s the fans time to speak/chant/sing. I love that about football
On this day in 2022: Arsenal debuted @LouisDunford’s ‘The Angel’ anthem before kick-off in their 2-1 home win against Leeds United, a song which has now become the pre-match ritual at the Emirates Stadium. ❤️🔊
