💣🚨EXCLUSIVE: Josh Kroenke drops huge statement on Arsenal’s summer plans.
Josh Kroenke has sent a clear message saying the Gunners will NOT sit back and relax. Speaking in an interview he said
🗣️The business never stops.Right now, there are already other teams who are trying to strengthen and come at us for next season. We need to be aware of that. We’ve already had a few different conversations about different areas where we think we can improve on and off the pitch. I am looking forward to getting that going this summer…”
He added:
🗣️We’re going to look to strengthen because we know teams around us are going to get better. If you’re not trying to continually evolve and improve, you’re standing still.
🗣️No complacency at the Emirates. Arsenal are prioritising key reinforcements in defence, midfield and attack while wrapping up Mikel Arteta’s new deal.
The title winners are coming back hungrier. Quadruple next? 👀👀

🚨 Thierry Henry Explains Why Arsenal Are One of the Most Hated Clubs in Football
🗣️: “People always ask why everyone is so obsessed with Arsenal. The answer is simple: relevance. When Arsenal are struggling, the world talks about them. When Arsenal are winning, the world talks about them. Very few clubs in football command that level of gravity.
Arsenal have one of the biggest fanbases in the world, and with a fanbase that large, every opinion becomes louder. Every victory feels bigger, every defeat becomes a global discussion, and every title race turns into a war between supporters online.
In recent years, Arsenal have returned to competing for the biggest trophies, and that naturally creates enemies. Nobody hates teams that are irrelevant. Rival fans say they dislike Arsenal supporters because they are confident, loud, and everywhere. But if we're being honest, every successful club has supporters like that.
After losing to PSG in the Champions League final, you can already see thousands of fans who don't even support the opposing team celebrating Arsenal's downfall. That’s not just rivalry; that’s fear and obsession.
The reality is that Arsenal are one of the few clubs in world football that people either love or love to see lose. That's usually what happens when a club becomes big enough to live in everyone's mind, even when they're not playing.”
🚨 José Mourinho criticizes Arsenal for holding a parade after their UCL final defeat.
🗣️: "If you lose a Champions League final, the last thing anyone expects is a parade just hours later. To me, that reflects a mentality issue. At clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona, there would be disappointment, reflection, and even frustration because those clubs understand what it truly means to compete at the highest level.
What Arsenal did felt like the mentality of a club celebrating participation rather than demanding success. The difference between Arsenal and the biggest clubs is simple: Real Madrid and Barcelona don't celebrate reaching finals, they celebrate winning them. Anything less is viewed as a missed opportunity, not an occasion for a parade.
Winning the Premier League is a fantastic achievement, and nobody can take that away from them. But every club must decide what its standards are. Do you celebrate getting close, or do you demand the ultimate prize? The biggest clubs in the world have already answered that question."
🚨🗣️ Jamie Carragher BLASTS Carlo Ancelotti over reports he may still not call up João Pedro for Brazil even after Neymar’s injury 🇧🇷
🗣️ Carragher: “I genuinely don’t understand it.”
“You lose Neymar to injury and still don’t want to bring João Pedro?”
“Then what exactly are Brazil looking for?”
“This is not the time for politics, reputation or loyalty.”
“It’s the World Cup.”
“You take the players who are ready and performing.”
“João Pedro gives you energy, movement, intensity and hunger.”
“And sometimes hunger is more important than reputation in tournament football.”
“If Brazil keep building everything around Neymar even when he’s injured, they risk making the same mistake again.”
