👀🏴 Thomas Tuchel on England's Euro 2024 campaign: "They were more afraid to drop out of the tournament than having the excitement and hunger to win it"
Oh the irony, Thomas. The irony.
After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.

The Arsenal Supporters’ Trust is disappointed by the 8:00pm Monday kick-off for Arsenal vs Burnley.
This timing creates clear difficulties for both sets of supporters, particularly those travelling or relying on public transport, and increases costs and disruption.
As the final home game of the season, it also means the traditional lap of appreciation will not take place until around 10:00pm, making it less accessible for many fans.
We did engage with Arsenal ahead of the most recent broadcast deal, recognising that clubs, including Arsenal, play a role in approving these agreements and asking that it give greater weight to the impact on supporters of games being moved. While we understand the significant financial benefits involved and how they support the club’s growth, we would urge both Arsenal and the Premier League to do more so that scheduling better reflects the needs of match-going supporters.
@adrianjclarke@johncrossmirror Put it into perspective, we were happy to take a punt on Hincapie as a market opportunity. In reality, we could’ve had MLS rotating when Cala inevitably gets injured and used the money for the ‘game changer’ we are still waiting for!
@adrianjclarke@johncrossmirror The alternative view is that the board/Arteta have lets us down again. We should’ve done everything for Semenyo in the summer or Jan by moving on Nelli/Tross or loaning Jesus to free up wages. That’s the risk & reward that wins your first title in 20 years
