‼️ Understand Arsenal's hierarchy have held discussions around the incoming SCR framework and how it will shape squad building this summer.
One of the most significant shifts this summer is moving away from viewing academy graduates primarily through an accounting lens and instead through a sporting lens. The question is no longer whether he can generate pure profit, but whether the club genuinely wishes to part with him.
I'm told Arsenal have no requirement to sell Ethan Nwaneri this summer and discussions have now centred on his development pathway, including the possibility of a strategic loan to a premier league club, rather than using him as a financial lever.
🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
The way people are pretending this entire PSG project is such a feel good story is so cringe man. A state funded sports washing project threw billions on the wall and finally it clicked for them after a more than a decade and a half thanks to load management gimmicks
1 - Arsenal have only lost one of the last 117 games across all competitions in which they've led at half time (W101 D15).
PSG haven't won any of the eight matches this season when they've trailed at the break (D3 L5).
Halfway.
