Granit Xhaka issues a message of support to his former Arsenal teammates:
“Just because you lose one game, doesn't mean you've lost everything.
“I will always support Arsenal. I’m still watching the games every week. The football club deserves trophies. I hope they can do it this year.”
Granit. ❤️
The 10 point deduction for Everton is excessive & not right, considering they have been working with the PL about this for the last couple of years.
Would it have been better to be evasive & try & drag it out like other clubs?
No doubt relegated clubs will have put big pressure on the PL to deal with Everton, but when you consider 6 clubs tried to leave the PL & there was no sanction at all it doesn’t feel right.
Until other clubs are sanctioned Everton will feel they are being used to show there is no need for an independent regulator, and they are right.
Martin Ødegaard: "Whenever I lead the team out at the Emirates, I have this moment to myself. I want to really feel that atmosphere, that electricity from the fans. I always listen as they play North London Forever over the speakers and I start singing along under my breath.
"I get goosebumps every time.
"I close my eyes, and I think about myself as a kid out on the artificial pitch in Drammen. If you’d have shown that kid a snapshot of this moment and told him this was in his future?
"He would have died for this.
"It’s been a hell of a long road, but I’m living my dream.

Pep Guardiola on top four being the 'first trophy':
"Look at Arsenal. They are already in the Champions League. Ask their owner or CEO what it means after seven years out the competition. 🔴 #AFC
"Next season Arsenal will be playing the elite, best teams in Europe. And we'll be there. It's a success, absolutely."
To win a league title at a rivals ground where all the odds are stacked against you? It’s a part of our history. It’s a part of our DNA.
No one gave Arsenal a chance at Anfield in 1989. No one gave Arsenal a chance at Old Trafford in 2002. No one is giving Arsenal a chance at the Etihad in 3 days time.
We’ve been here before. It’s who we are. We can do this.
I believe. Do you?
Jeez. I’m emotionally, psychologically, physically shattered after that.
And yet… we’re still 5pts clear at the top of the League and we’re going to beat City on Wednesday. COYG. 👊👊👊
Today is 6 days vape free!!! (Almost, by 5pm it will be). Tomorrow I hit a whole week and it’s smooth sailing after the initial week IMO. Rlly proud of myself for quitting ALL OVER AGAIN, once again cold turkey. I feel powerful
