People expect Laura Woods and a panel made 66% of Arsenal fans to be completely neutral when representing an English TV channel, but have no issue with Neville and Carragher spouting their anti Arsenal agendas that feed into everyone’s shallow minds every week 😂 we see you all
Arteta spent £900m over 7 seasons having taken over a squad that he has to rebuild from the ground up and in the last 4 years he has finished 1st, 2nd, 2nd, and 2nd and and we were minutes away from a Champions league victory too.
Yet he gets criticized but no one is talking about;
Tottenham who spent over £1bn and have been in back to back relegation battles.
Manchester United who has outspent Arteta in the same 7 years period but can't even compete for the title.
Chelsea who spent £2 billion to become a mid table team.
Manchester City spent £500m but ended up bottling the league having led with 5 games to go.
Liverpool spent £500m only to become the worst defending champion after Leicester City.
It is only a problem when Arsenal is involved, when it is Arsenal's rivals, it is totally fine.
wtf happened to @talkSPORT used be a great station for sports fans, now they just act like a bunch of amateur YouTubers and teenagers , fucking embarrassing
nobody wanted Arsenal to win the Prem because we thought their fans were gonna be unbearable and annoying, but whats ended up happening is everyone else has become completely unbearable instead, crying and belittling their achievements as much as possible just to fuel agendas
Just a quick reminder that @piersmorgan is not Arsenal and will never be Arsenal. What he is though - is a dirty, lying, phone-hacking grass. Never forget that.
I don’t know why they keep showing Spurs celebrating a 17th place finish…
If their fans want to see that they can watch the replay from MW 38 of last season…
Sky Sports showing us a Tottenham player who managed to get 17th place.
Whereas Arsenal, the Champions, are no where to be seen on TV.
Fucking disgraceful @SkySports
🚨🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Arsenal winning the Premier League after 22 years: an emotional speech 🎤
“This team… this team… honestly, I’m actually feeling emotional for them right now. For years people called them soft, fragile, bottlers… every season it was ‘stay humble’, ‘show some mentality’, ‘build some muscle’, ‘they’re not built for the big moments’. 😭
Well… where’s Mr. Mentality now? Where’s the man telling everyone to stay humble now? Where’s the man mocking them with a bottle. I can’t see them 👀
Because Arsenal have gone and done it. After 22 years. And they didn’t do it in an easy season either, they did it in one of the toughest Premier League campaigns I can remember. The pressure, the intensity, the competition… and they still came out on top.
If right now, you are still doubting this team then you’ve been left behind, and it’s only a matter of time you will stop doubting them.
You have to give credit where it’s due. Mikel Arteta deserves enormous praise because he rebuilt this club step by step and got people believing again.
I can already see Arsenal fans becoming the loudest people on earth for the next 20 years… and honestly? Fair enough. They’ve suffered enough. Congratulations to Arsenal Football Club.” 🏆❤️
And we’ll all just pretend the entire thing wasn’t built of a decade of lies, cheating, corruption and fraud to enable the signings and salaries that got him there. Jesus wept, journalism has no fucking integrity whatsoever.
The @robharris question to Pep a few years ago about alleged multiple contracts that left Pep absolutely furious. But, crucially, neither Peo nor the club ever answered, after years and years of asking.
Be fascinating to know if he’ll also be stepping back from whatever duties he’s had at Al Jazira Club in Abu Dhabi during the same period. So many questions … never answered.
If anyone sees a Pep hagiography piece about him leaving City that mentions either his drug test failures as a player and / or his spending as a City manager related to serial punishments for financial breaches, pls let me know. Genius yep. Flawed, yep.
Pep a history of cheating:
Barca:
As a player cheated taking peds
As Barca manger cheated for paying refs
Bayern Munich:
Renowned club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt resigned in April 2015 after 38 years at the club as don’t want to use PEDs on the player to speed up recovery.
Man City:
130 charges of financial doping cooking the books.
German referee Patrick Ittrich has suggested making the following changes to football's rules:
1) "For a tactical foul in midfield, a free-kick should be awarded 17 metres from goal. How often will we see such fouls then?"
2) "If the player rolls on the floor three times and needs a doctor, get him one and make him wait on the sideline for 3 minutes. How quickly do you think the player will stand up?"
3) "If a player insults the referee, send them off for 10 minutes to calm down. Go cycling to warm up before coming back in. We can learn from handball in that respect."
4) "How is a referee surrounded by 10 men after a decision? In my opinion, boom, boom, boom — three red cards. Play seven against ten now. That'd be fine by me."
