💣🚨 Declan Rice explains why he embraced Martin Ødegaard after the final whistle.

🗣️ “When the final whistle went, there were no opponents anymore. I didn’t see Norway or England. I just saw my captain.”

“I know how much this game meant to Martin. I know how much he carries on his shoulders, not only for Norway but every single day as a leader. Seeing him hurting like that… I couldn’t just walk past.”

“We’ve built something special at Arsenal. We’ve celebrated together, we’ve suffered together, and we’ve pushed each other to become better players and better people. That doesn’t disappear because we’re wearing different national team shirts.”

“I just wanted him to know he wasn’t standing there alone. Football can break your heart in one moment, but the people you share the journey with help put the pieces back together.”

“In a few weeks, we’ll be back at the Emirates fighting side by side again. He’ll still be my captain, I’ll still fight for him, and together we’ll keep chasing the biggest trophies for Arsenal.”

“For 90 minutes we represented different countries. But the bond we have at Arsenal is bigger than one match. That will never change.

@football_pb Why not all out for Vini jr if he’s available and unsettled at Real? Shows intent and he is world class in that position.

🗣️ 💔 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.”

NHS SPENT 11 MILLION POUNDS TRYING TO PROVE ONE CARDIOLOGIST WAS WRONG

Dr Raj Mattu flagged 5 patients crammed into 4 bed cardiac bays at Walsgrave Hospital in 2001. A 35 year old died because staff could not reach him in time.

He told @BBC. The trust suspended him, reportedly hired private investigators, and sent over 200 complaints about him to @gmcuk. All 200 were rejected.

At the 2016 remedy hearing the trust's barrister called him greedy for wanting the compensation he was already owed, then suggested he retrain as a school teacher on 30,000 pounds a year.

He won. Around 1.22 million pounds, up to 2.5 million once tax was added. The legal fight cost the trust over 11 million in public money.

Patients died. He spoke up. The system spent a decade trying to prove him wrong instead of fixing the ward.

Travesty upon travesty

[Dr Chris Day @drcmday]

I want to be abundantly clear about what I am saying because it's not just sour grapes.

In 2015, an Employment Judge found that the Gold Guide, together with every other document disclosed at that stage, was not enough for me to prove that Health Education England (HEE) had the substantial influence required under whistleblowing law.

I was ridiculed, told my position was "fanciful", and threatened with costs in the Employment Appeal Tribunal for challenging that conclusion.

Now, in 2026, in order to reject a wasted costs application against a law firm, a different Judge has effectively said that I already had everything I needed back in 2015 to succeed. Apparently, the fact that a contract demonstrating HEE's ultimate influence- let alone substantial influence-had not been disclosed simply doesn't matter.

What also apparently doesn't matter is the hundreds of thousands of pounds of NHS money and crowdfunded money spent over many years arguing about HEE's influence.

The reality is that the Employment Tribunal found in 2015 that the disclosed documents were insufficient. The Employment Appeal Tribunal endorsed that outcome in 2016, and the Court of Appeal did not disturb it. Yet, in 2026, that history appears to have been re-written in order to conclude that the undisclosed contracts made no material difference and to relieve a group of powerful lawyers from potential wasted costs liability.

Those who have followed my case for years will recognise a pattern that seems to be emerging with the chasm in accounts from lawyers on cost threats and that destruction and concealment of evidence.

#Arsenal have sold Leandro Trossard for a fee close to what we paid, after the best years of his career with 36 goals and 34 assists in 174 games. He will go down in history as the player who scored our most important, title winning goal; a true cult hero.

So many reports, inquests, negligence claims all focused on trusts & staff at frontline. Yet in a decade of horror we still haven't had a single examination of Govt, national bodies, universities & their policies or agendas in maternity over the last 20 years. Not sustainable

🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:

“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.

Not because he's my friend.

Not because of nostalgia.

Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.

I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.

It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.

One step to the left, defenders follow.

One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.

One glance over his shoulder panic.

That's not football.

That's psychological warfare.

And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.

They don't understand what they're watching.

Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.

He's Argentina's system.

He's their confidence.

He's their belief.

He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.

People ask me about the GOAT debate.

What debate?
Seriously.

What debate?

For me, there isn't one.

The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.

When I watch football, I don't see a debate.

I see Messi.

Then I see everybody else.

That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.

It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.

And today was another reminder.

He didn't need a hat-trick.

He didn't need to score from 40 yards.

He just needed to be Lionel Messi.

And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.

That's greatness.

Not when everything depends on you.

When everybody becomes better because you're there.

I've played against great players.

I've played with great players.

But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:

'This isn't normal.'

The scary thing?

Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.

And they still can't stop it.

That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.

Some players become legends.

Some players become icons.

Messi became a category of his own.

And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...

You're asking the wrong question.

The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”

[Jason Ryan @jasonryanmd]

Whole body scans in asymptomatic people won't save lives overall. They will mostly find benign incidentalomas that cause anxiety for otherwise healthy people. Many of us have benign growths that mimic cancer but are harmless. These will be discovered leading to unnecessary panic and additional testing that causes harm.

If you want to live a long healthy life, skip the scan and instead go the gym and eat a salad.

This!!

Yet the cardiology community keeps inventing risk scores which are largely the same in performance:

* Framingham risk score (multiple versions)
* Reynolds risk score
* Pooled cohort equations
* PREVENT (10/30 year)
* Multiple European models

All just minor differences in predictice performance!

[Arsenal Chizzy @ArsenalChizzy_]

🚨 Wayne Rooney on Declan Rice's set-pieces that inspired England's 4-2 victory:

🗣️ “For the whole of last season, people mocked Arsenal's set-pieces. They called them boring, said they were ruining football and claimed they could never win the biggest trophies playing that way.

Now look at England.

Declan Rice is delivering those same quality dead balls and they've played a huge part in a 4-2 win.
I've watched this World Cup closely and one thing stands out: Arsenal players have consistently produced dangerous set-pieces, with several leading directly to goals.

Maybe the issue was never the set-pieces.
Maybe people were simply frustrated because their own teams didn't have players capable of executing them at that level.

Football fans love effective set-pieces when they're winning games. They only complain when someone else is better at them.”
