🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯

“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.

But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.

You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”

Pep cut his losses on Tijjani Reijnders and City started cooking, but Arteta kept forcing his Spanish brother on us instead of just integrating Skelly or finding a temporary solution in January even if it was a loan player. I’m telling you, Skelly couldn’t possibly do anything worse. Wenger had Fabregas and Nasri yet gave Wilshere a chance. You signed the captain of a premier league club, you can’t even trust him. Arteta deserves everything happening to him like madt

If you think deeply you will see Arsenal shocking performances in big games this season has also been down to a man. Complete opposite of what it looked like last 2 years. I even remember Lewis Skelly against Madrid and Man City last season, such a brave ball carrier, he was supposed to be the next big thing in this club. How Arteta has managed to ru!n him is beyond my understanding. Look at O’reilly bro, he is a reflection of what MLS should be for us.
This situation just makes me sad.

🚨🗣️ Ian Wright on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal against Manchester City, and what it means as the season hit its final sprint:

“You know what hurts me watching this Arsenal team right now? It’s not even the result against Manchester City… it’s the feeling that when it really mattered, the personality disappeared.

For seven months you’re top of the league, everyone is talking, everything looks controlled… and then suddenly, in the final sprint, you look like a team hoping instead of believing. That’s the difference.

People will talk tactics, they’ll talk about the goalkeeper going long, or individuals not stepping up but for me, it’s deeper. When City smell that moment, they become ruthless. Arsenal? They became cautious. And in this league, cautious is not enough.

I’ve been there. When you want to win the title, you have to impose yourself even when things go wrong. Today, after it went 1-1, you could feel it… City said ‘we take this now,’ and Arsenal almost accepted it.

And that’s why people are asking how did it get to this? Because a month ago, it looked impossible for them to lose it. Now? All the pressure is on them, and City are playing free, with momentum, with experience.

Listen, Mikel Arteta has done an unbelievable job, but this is the stage where you don’t just need structure, you need authority. You need players who say ‘give me the ball, I decide this game.’

Right now, I don’t see that enough. And if you don’t show it at this stage of the season… then you open the door for a team like City. And once that door is open, they don’t knock… they walk through it.”

🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal defeat to AFC Bournemouth:

“Look, I’m going to say it how it is because people don’t like to hear the truth when it’s about Arsenal. This team is too comfortable. Too comfortable. You can’t be in a title race and play like you’re protecting something instead of going to take it.

I’ve defended Mikel Arteta many times, but today… I didn’t recognize that team. Where is the urgency? Where is the killer instinct? You’re playing AFC Bournemouth, no disrespect, and you’re moving the ball like you’re 3-0 up already. That’s arrogance, not control.

And this is the problem, it’s not the first time. When it matters, they hesitate. They overthink. They try to play the ‘perfect’ football instead of winning ugly. Champions don’t do that. I’ve been there, sometimes you have to suffer, sometimes you have to be nasty. I don’t see that edge in this team.

People will talk tactics, substitutions, whatever… but for me it’s mentality. If you keep dropping points like this, don’t talk to me about the title. You’re giving it away. Again.

And if Mikel Arteta doesn’t change something quickly, whether it’s the approach, the attitude, or even making big decisions on players, then yes, they will bottle it. And I don’t say that lightly… but we’ve seen this movie before.

At some point, you have to stop saying ‘we’re close’ and actually do it. Right now? They’re not doing it.”

[Tottenham Notspur @SpursUnoff1cial]

We are delighted to announce that Jack Wilshere will take over as interim manager until the end of the season.

With his long standing loyalties to Chairman Vinai Venkatesham and love for Arsenal FC, the club feels he will be the right man to take us down in style.
