We did more than just kick you out, Piers. There’s a reason Englishmen still loosen their bowels at the sight of George Washington.
Bradley Barcola Situation
• Moussa Sissoko has been trying to renew Bradley Barcola’s contract for the best part of 9-12 months. Talks have been difficult, and it reached a point where both parties agreed to put negotiations on hold so that Barcola and PSG could focus on important fixtures in April and May.
• Soon after the UEFA Champions League final, talks resumed and remain ongoing. The player reportedly told people close to him that he was disappointed not to start a number of important fixtures.
• PSG’s position is clear: renew or we will sell, as his contract expires in June 2028. Personally, I think that is a significant stance for the club to take.
• Barcola’s agent also represents Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué and maintains a good relationship with PSG. The club is also in serious talks regarding Yan Diomande and Maghnes Akliouche, which could further influence the situation surrounding Barcola.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool are interested, but I want to explain Arsenal’s side of the story.
• Andrea Berta made serious enquiries into Barcola’s situation last summer. At the time, Arsenal were informed that the player would stay for at least one more year. Since then, Berta has remained in constant contact with Sissoko and has made it clear that Barcola is of serious interest to Arsenal. He has also asked to be notified if PSG become open to a sale. Should Arsenal make an official approach towards PSG, there will be a further update.
• Arsenal also hold an interest in Morgan Rogers and one other player(sensitive info currently). More on that in due course.
• As always, Andrea Berta is willing to agree personal terms with multiple targets and make a move when the timing suits Arsenal.
Before I sign off, there is something worth noting. Berta is very happy for misinformation to circulate publicly. Berta & Co are busy behind the scenes, and many details remain unknown as Arsenal move silently.
Allow me to provide a free exclusive as an example of that which is unknown. Arsenal made standard checks on Nico Paz. Nico was reportedly left confused following a recent call with Mourinho, although another conversation may be scheduled. Arsenal have also made serious checks on Christos Tzolis, the Greek winger.
My point is that a great deal is happening behind the curtain. Embrace the silence and, as always, choose your sources of information carefully.

> Thomas Tuchel on Arsenal's players set-piece threat:
"When you watch Arsenal closely, you realise their set-pieces are not luck, they're an art form. Every movement is rehearsed, every block is timed, every player knows exactly where the ball will arrive. What impresses me most is the commitment of the players. They treat a corner in the 5th minute with the same importance as a penalty in the 95th.
Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and the other Arsenal boys bring that mentality into the England camp. They understand the details. They understand that trophies are often decided by moments, and set-pieces create those moments.
Modern football is about margins. Arsenal have turned those margins into a weapon. You can spend all week preparing for their open play, but if you switch off for one corner or one free-kick, they punish you. That's why they are so dangerous and why every coach in Europe studies them."

London is red - always has been, always will be 🔴⚪️
🚨🔥 | Mikel Arteta lays down the challenge for next season
🗣️ “The coming season isn’t a season of excuses.”
After delivering the Premier League title and reaching the Champions League final, Arteta has made it clear that expectations at Arsenal F.C. have changed forever ❤️🔴⚪️
🗣️ “It’s a season of achieving the highest trophies.”
🗣️ “A season of maintaining the highest status.”
🗣️ “A season of doubling this season’s achievements.”
The message is simple:
🏆 Defend the Premier League
🏆 Challenge for the Champions League
🏆 Continue building a dynasty
Enough of this trolls.... 😔💔
🗣️"Declan Rice has known this woman since they were kids. She wasn't there after the fame, the money, or the spotlight. She was there before any of it.
They grew up together, built a life together, and started a family together. She carried his children and stood by him through every stage of his journey.
People talk as if a woman's value is tied to her appearance. Life changes people. Bodies change. Motherhood changes people. That's normal.
Real love isn't about chasing the next model or replacing someone the moment they no longer fit an ideal image. Real love is loyalty. It's choosing the person who stood beside you when you had nothing, not just when you have everything.
Some people see a footballer and his wife. I see two people who built a life together from childhood.
The trolling is cruel, unnecessary, and misses the whole point of what love is supposed to be.
If I loved a woman enough to build a family with her, I'd stand by her too. Every time. End "
🚨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?

@craigburley I hope you are looking forward to spending the waning years of your broadcasting career, such as it is, watching Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal dominate the Premier League and Europe. It will be a bitter pill for you and all your Arsenal hating friends. COYG.
Arsene Wenger after the game:
We reached the final and gave everything we had, but I cannot help feeling that the game was influenced by more than just the football. There were decisions that went against Arsenal at crucial moments, and from where I stand, two penalty incidents deserved much closer attention, especially the challenge on Saka in the second half.
I am proud of this team. They showed courage, quality, character and the fighting spirit that Arsenal supporters expect. When you lose a Champions League final, it is painful. When key moments leave you with questions, the disappointment is even greater.
Congratulations to PSG on winning the trophy. But I believe Arsenal deserved the opportunity to compete on equal terms until the very end.
To the players: keep your heads high. Great teams are built through moments like this. Use the pain, learn from it, and come back stronger.
COYG ❤️
