@AzengaMoses Bertie Mee, so before Terry Neil, before Don Howe, before George, before Arsene and all the interim managers in between. I reckon Mikel will prove to be the best eventually.
💣🚨 BREAKING: Thierry Henry addresses the divide among Arsenal fans over the club’s transfer strategy.
🗣️ Thierry Henry:
“I’ve seen the debate among Arsenal supporters. Some believe the club is right to refuse inflated prices. Others think saying ‘no’ shows a lack of ambition.”
“Ambition isn’t measured by how much you spend. It’s measured by how well you spend.”
“If you start paying whatever clubs ask simply because you’re Arsenal, you’ll create a problem that follows you into every transfer window. Every club will add an ‘Arsenal tax.’”
“The best teams don’t let emotions make decisions. They stay disciplined, they know their valuation, and they walk away when it no longer makes sense.”
“Trust me, I’d rather see Arsenal miss one player than lose the identity that’s brought this club back to competing at the highest level.”
Sorry, but in case you’ve forgotten, I’ll never forget.
During the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Cristiano Ronaldo’s fans said: “You’re mocking Ronaldo for being on the bench, but let’s see what Messi does when he reaches that age.”
Well, I think we now have the answer.
Messi went beyond the age Ronaldo was at in Qatar, and what did he do? He scored a hat-trick in his very first game of the tournament, with three goals more beautiful than the last, and became the competition’s all-time top scorer.
And yes, pay attention—not penalties, since I know that’s usually the argument.
Want another one?
He’s competing with your new young superstar, Kylian Mbappé, and he snatched the Golden Boot race from him by scoring a hat-trick, after already taking the trophy itself from him in 2022.
Maybe stop putting him in these challenges.
Because, honestly, he’ll just embarrass you again. ❤️

On this day in 1980, Walter Rodney was killed by a car bomb planted in a walkie talkie in his car. Marxist historian, intellectual, and anti-colonial activist from Guyana, taught Pan-Africanism, socialism, Black liberation movement, and anti-imperial politics. He was 38.
Arsène Wenger:
🗣️ “There was a time we had £90 million turnover and we had to pay back £22 million per year for the stadium. I couldn’t sleep because we had to qualify for the Champions League to pay back the money.”
🗣️ “We had to sell our best players. Other clubs came in with lots of money but we were on the same level from 2007 to 2016.”
This is why so many Arsenal fans will forever defend Wenger.
While rivals were spending freely, Arsenal were carrying the weight of the Emirates project on their backs. Every summer felt like survival. Every top-four finish felt like a trophy. Every season, Wenger had to replace world-class players while keeping Arsenal competitive enough to secure Champions League football.
🔴 Sold stars. 🔴 Balanced the books. 🔴 Built a world-class stadium. 🔴 Kept Arsenal among Europe's elite.
Many managers would've walked away. Wenger stayed and carried the club through its most difficult financial era.
The trophies are part of his legacy. The fact Arsenal emerged from that period stronger, richer, and ready to compete again is the other part.
Without Wenger's sacrifices, there is no Arsenal of today.
I'm sorry, call me a prick, but I wont stop talking about Arsenal sacking their kit manager of over a decade for sharing pro-palestine posts, only to then go hire an Israeli sponsor. Just wrong.

🚨 Man City Teknik Direktörü Pep Guardiola "Bana hep sanane Filistin'den ,kariyerini olumsuz etkiler diyorlar,bende onlara orda ölenler sizin çocuklarınız olsa yine de bunu dermisiniz diyorum"
O Gerçek bi lider 🇵🇸
Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
