🚨 Since his penalty miss in the #UCL final, Arsenal supporters have made Gabriel the top-selling shirt name at the club.
His printed name is up 350% since Saturday’s final. At one stage he was outselling any other name x2.

Arsenal have never won the Champions League, yet you saw how many rival fans were celebrating their downfall yesterday. Not because Arsenal were defending a title, but simply because they didn’t want to see them succeed.
That’s a lesson for real life too. Some people won’t wait for you to make it before they start rooting against you. They’ll want you to fail before you’ve even reached the top. Your job is to keep going and give them the opposite of what they wished for.
OJUDE OBA 2027 - MY RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Bigger Space
Ojude Oba grows the way a great tree grows - it cannot be contained by the pot it was first planted in. We have long outgrown the King's courtyard. Only a stadium can now hold what we have become.
2. Local Combat Competition:
Spice the festival with the ancient arts of the body - ijakadi, eke, gidigbo. Let each family nominate their warrior. Let a champion be crowned. Let that title hunger to be defended at the next festival. There is no celebration more pleasing than one where men test themselves.
3. Horse Racing:
Those elegantly fashioned horses are the poetry of the festival - dressed better than most men I know. But the Yoruba did not breed such animals merely to be admired from a distance. Let them run. Let us know, once and for all, which family carries the finest horses in their bloodline. A parade is beautiful. A race is a verdict.
4. What will you suggest?
And in all of this - the basins of tears that must be donated annually by those who have no culture worth parading and no history worth celebrating - must grow wider every year.
By 2030, basins will no longer suffice.
A dam must be constructed.
Good Evening Severally...
