Nearly £1bn worth of financial fraud while Arsène broke his back keeping Arsenal financially afloat.

Disgusting doesn’t begin to cover it.

I want them out of the league as soon as possible.

🗣️ Arsene Wenger statement on Gianni Infantino’s failed FFE plans. “The recent events at FIFA deserve some clarity from my side.

“At FIFA, I am the Chief of Global Football Development. 

“Together with my team, I oversee the data analysis of the game, the FIFA online training centre, the development of youth education through 60 academies across 60 countries where they are most needed, and youth competitions around the world.

“In addition, I am a technical adviser to IFAB.

“I was not involved in this strategic plan and first became aware of the project through media reports.

“The decision to withdraw the project was absolutely necessary and beyond question, because I firmly believe in an independent FIFA that serves our game with commitment, transparency, and integrity.”

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी भारत के इतिहास के सबसे युवा-विरोधी प्रधानमंत्री हैं - इतने युवा विरोधी कि एक नाकाम शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा भी नहीं ले सकते।

152 पेपर लीक। 7.5 करोड़ छात्र पीड़ित। और सज़ा एक दोषी को भी नहीं। सजा किसे मिली? मेहनती युवाओं को।

और जब इन बच्चों ने शिक्षा के जायज़ सवाल उठाए - तो जवाब में मिली लाठी और हिरासत। लीक करने वाले अपराधी आज़ाद - और वाजिब मुद्दे उठाने वाले छात्र घसीटे जाते हैं, पीटे जाते हैं।

यह सरकार सिर्फ़ युवाओं को नाकाम नहीं कर रही - उनपर टूट पड़ी है।

🗣️ 💔 Trossard’s emotional message to Arsenal fans…

🗣️ “Arsenal will always feel like home to me. From the moment I arrived, this club embraced me, believed in me, and gave me some of the best moments of my career.

If it were entirely up to me, I’d stay here for many more years. Unfortunately, football isn’t always that simple, and sometimes decisions are made that are beyond a player’s control.

No matter what happens in the future, I’ll always be grateful to my teammates, the manager, the staff and especially the Arsenal supporters. You welcomed me as one of your own and I’ll never forget that.

Wherever life takes me next, Arsenal will always hold a special place in my heart.”

“There was a time we had 90 million turnover and we had to pay back 22 million per year for the stadium, I couldn’t sleep because we had to qualify for the champions league to pay back the money. We had to sell our best players. Other clubs came in with lots of money but we were on the same level from 2007 to 2016”

This GenZ kid is more sorted than people with partisan apprehensions on social media.

Reporter: What are your demands?

Aarav: Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.

Reporter: If Dharmendra Pradhan doesn't resign today, will you still support CJP?

Aarav: I have no personal attachment to CJP. I will support any party that raises my issues. I haven't come for CJP. I have come for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. My issues are not Hindu-Muslim. My issues are education, healthcare, etc.

I visited the southernmost tip of India.

I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.

And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation.

The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.

Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.

They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.

What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land.

Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.

I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.

Early morning thoughts

Icl I feel numb because we were minutes away from greatness. Two kicks away. On another day, they miss their fifth penalty and we score ours. That’s how close we were.

But we can be so proud of the season. No team in PL history had the pressure we did to win the league. Social media era amplified that pressure. It was incessant, yet the boys and the entire coaching setup made it happen.

The progress we’ve made in the CL under Mikel has been exceptional. Year in year out we remain ultra competitive, exemplifying progression. We will be back. So much more to give.

But for now, let’s enjoy today. Let’s give the boys the loudest of cheers because they deserve it. ❤️

🚨🎙️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.”
