🚨Josè Mourinho on England being Eliminated from the World Cup semifinals by Argentina.
🗣️“You don’t defend in crucial World Cup semifinals game, Argentina didn’t win because they were the best on the pitch but England gave them the chance to control and dominate it.”
“This not how to defend a team where Messi is involving, you mark him out cause any little chance he got will be a threat on you.”
“You can’t defend Lionel Messi for 90min without him causing you a headache, that was an absolute disaster and shameful performance from Tuchel as a manager.”
Go on a generational run.
Score 1-0.
Get scared.
Midfield drops back immediately.
Goes park the bus.
Lose the game catastrophically.
England mentality. 60 years of failure.
“Sergio Agüero gave me Diego Maradona’s phone number. I texted him a selfie of myself with a Cuban cigar, and he replied by sending me a photo of himself with one too.
That was the beginning of our friendship.”
— Mario Balotelli
🚨 Leandro Trossard on his emotional Arsenal departure. ❤️
“I feel so sad about leaving because this club has been everything to me.”
“This is probably the hardest decision I’ve made in my career. It wasn’t easy to say yes, but I also feel it’s the right time to begin a new chapter.”
“One of the reasons I chose Beşiktaş over some clubs in England is because I didn’t want to be playing against Arsenal. This club means too much to me, and I didn’t want to find myself on the opposite side.”
“No matter where my career takes me, a part of me will always belong to Arsenal. I’ll always be grateful to the fans, my teammates, the manager and everyone at the club.”
“The thing I’m most proud of is that I was able to win the Premier League with Arsenal. That’s a memory I’ll carry with me forever, and nobody can ever take it away.” ❤️🤍

“Why didn’t Gerrard Lampard or Scholes play like Bellingham in the World Cup” because they came up against R9 Ronaldinho Rui Costa Luis Figo Pirlo Lahm Neuer etc not fucking Christopher Ajer and Antonio Nusa 😂
🗣️ Maradona : “ Infantino me llamaba antes de las elecciones y después de las elecciones ya no me llamo más. Yo no soy obrero de Infantino, yo defiendo el fútbol. Si Infantino quiere hacer de esto un show, yo no lo entiendo “
El Diego lo vio antes que nadie
🚨 Viktor Gyökeres on Riccardo Calafiori:
🗣️ Reporter: “Vik, who do you really miss at the world cup?”
🗣️ Gyökeres: “Honestly, it has to be Riccardo Calafiori, he would have enjoyed every bit of it both on and off the pitch
I told him myself, you should be here."
💣🚨BREAKING: Martin Ødegaard sends heartfelt message to Declan Rice for embracing him after their match.
🗣️ Ødegaard: When the final whistle went, the pain of the defeat hit hard… but then I felt Ricey running straight to me. In that moment, everything else faded. The scoreline, the colours we were wearing, the stadium noise none of it mattered. He wrapped me in a hug like only a true brother would.
🗣️ We’ve fought side by side at Arsenal through the toughest nights and the greatest highs. He’s been there for me when I needed lifting, and tonight I needed that more than ever. Seeing the love and respect in his eyes despite everything… it meant the world. My heart was heavy, but that hug reminded me I’m never alone.
🗣️ Football can break you in these big moments, but bonds like ours make you stronger. I’m so proud of Declan — the warrior, the leader, the incredible person he is for England. We’ll be back at the Emirates soon, shoulder to shoulder, chasing the same dreams again.

Having Isak force a move out, having Gordon and Tonali leave with Bruno G wanting out, losing Munoz and Manzambi at the last hurdle and spending £223m on Elanga, Ramsey, Woltemade and Wissa.
Newcastle have had to have the worst 12 months of any club in transfer market history.
As a fanbase collectively we need to never forget this Trossard season. Disgustingly clutch in pivotal moments. Playing out of his mind. Pay rise? Worth every penny.
