England take leaf out of Arsenal playbook with focus on set-pieces in training ahead of Croatia. Declan Rice, Reece James and Bukayo Saka among designated dead ball specialists, though doubt remains over Saka’s fitness due to Achilles tendonitis issue. https://t.co/DFOCtoy9N9
If Arsenal win the league, watch the narratives:
• I’ll only praise Arteta if he retains it — this is a one-off
• Do the League + UCL, then we’ll talk greatness
• They’ve won it before, nothing historic
• Elite teams sustain it, not win it once
• Where are the other trophies?
•They didn’t reinvent anything, just repeated history
•Everyone else handed it to them
•£1bn spent… bare minimum
•Asterisk it — Liverpool had an off-year
•Others collapsed, Arsenal didn’t win it
•Boring, robotic football — standards have dropped
•Doesn’t erase the recent bottle jobs
•One-season wonders don’t build legacies
•My high standards are why they won
A special shout out to Jamie O’Hara, Shay Given, Peter Schmeichel, Joe Hart, Gabby Agbonlahor, Chris Sutton, Gary Neville, that midget Rory div, and the dozens of others I’ve forgotten - all of whom have been doing their absolute bollocks the past few months, willing and praying hard for Man City to win the league.
Get fucked, all of you.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.
