This sticker spotted at Saint Mary's last night giving lads a place to speak anonmously about their mental health. A great initiative 👏🏻

In case your were wondering why Rice didn’t win the @theofficialfwa footballer of the year

What we’re dealing with, in a nutshell

[Connor Humm @TikiTakaConnor]

Arsenal weren’t manufactured by an oligarch or bankrolled by a state, they earned every bit of it the right way, and that’s why it means so much more during these moments of joy. They stuck by the manager and these are the rewards. Classiest club, forever and always.

[Ryan @RyanMKIV]

It will take years to wash the stain that is Manchester City from our beautiful game.

@henrywinter this is what I meant in my text to TalkSPORT just now. Manchester City have stolen so much from honest clubs, they’ve stolen these experiences from other fans who would have seen their teams at Wembley had Manchester City not cheated to get there.

It’s disgusting how little interest the media have in this.

[🔪🇵🇸🇯🇴 @Knifesedge11]

Meanwhile in England, everybody bootlicks 115 FC

[Ayobami @dondekojo]

Season will start, everyone will spend money to compete with City, by April, they all support City to defeat Arsenal because of their own failure. Too funny

[all arsenal news @Alarsenalnews_]

Arsène Wenger didn’t need fancy tactics boards to explain this one.

When he signed Thomas Vermaelen from AFC Ajax in 2009, Arsenal fans thought they were getting a tidy, ball-playing centre-half.

What they actually got was a left-footed lunatic who treated defending like a bar fight and shooting like artillery practice.

They called him The Verminator for a reason.
There are centre-backs who quietly do their job.

And then there are centre-backs who rock up to Emirates Stadium and start smashing rockets from 30 yards like they’re a striker in disguise.

Debut season?
Absolute carnage.

⚽ 8 goals as a centre-back
Defenders across the league were thinking:

"Hold on… why is THEIR centre-half scoring more than our forwards?"

But if you want the proper Verminator moment…
You go back to March 2012.
Arsenal FC vs Newcastle United.

Clock ticking past 90 minutes.
Score locked at 1–1.

Top-four race getting nasty.
The Emirates is nervous.

Then Theo Walcott tears down the right wing and whips a cross into the box.

Everyone expects Robin van Persie.
But flying in at the back post like a Belgian freight train…

VERMAELEN.

Left foot.
Bang.

Ball past Tim Krul.
95th minute.
Absolute limbs in the North Bank.

Centre-half sprinting half the pitch to win the game like he’s the number nine.

That wasn’t defending.
That was pure Barclays chaos.
And this wasn’t a one-off.

The man spent years doing three jobs at once:
• smashing tackles
• launching long-range thunderbastards
• popping up with goals like a striker

Proper defender.
Proper mentality.
Proper Emirates cult hero.
By the time his Arsenal chapter closed he’d racked up:

🔴 150 appearances
⚽ 15 goals (ridiculous return for a CB)
© Arsenal captain (2012–2014)
🏆 2014 FA Cup Final winner — the trophy that finally ended the drought

Injuries eventually slowed the machine down, and he moved to FC Barcelona in 2014.

But in North London?
The legend was already written.
Because at his peak, Thomas Vermaelen wasn’t just a defender.
He was a Belgian missile launcher wearing number 5.

A centre-back who defended like a warrior
and struck a football like he was trying to break the net in half.

THE VERMINATOR.

And if you were in the Emirates when those rockets flew in…
You already know.

[Opta Analyst @OptaAnalyst]

Taking all delays into account, Arsenal spent an average of 31.4 seconds to get the ball back into play from corners, goal kicks, throws and free-kicks last night vs Brighton.

There have been 195 instances of a team taking longer than this in a Premier League match in 2025-26.

[Dean James @DeanJamesAFC]

Of which there have been ONE HUNDRED AND NINTY FIVE (195) instances of clubs taking longer this season in the Premier League. Did you intentionally omit that, John? Or just didn’t care enough to do the research?

[Queen Bee @KingBobIIV]

Anyone else freaked out that the entire British Establishment, the entire world banking system, judiciary, the entire EU, America, WHO, UN - EVERYTHING - has been exposed as a massive child eating and trafficking network of Satanic baby abusing cannibals, and then you dip in to Facebook and everyone is just talking about Eastenders, or Real Housewives or posting photos of their cats as if literally absolutely nothing has happened?

Its just insane to me.

Am I dreaming?

[Sxnti @PeakSxnti]

Saka's catalogue for England is insane 🤯🤯
