🚨 Shirt sales for Gabriel Magalhães increased by 350 per cent after his penalty miss against PSG in the #UCL final, becoming the top-selling name printed on Arsenal shirts over the weekend. At one point, sales of his shirt doubled those of any other shirt. 📈👕 [@gunnerblog]
Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
How far did @Arsenal have to go to win the Premier League under Mikel Arteta?
24,643 kms covered.
544 km sprinted.
1,427 km at high speed.
45,170 sprints.
What a journey.
Huge congrats to everyone at the club, and not least @tallen_5@BarrySolan@bentalbs22 & many more
@CianTracey1 It is not telescopic. It is the Rugby Bricks Vortex Low Cut tee. Sam has totally changed his ball set up which means his strike would be different too. That is weeks of work not something you could change in a couple of days.
The journey to become a World Athletics Championships finalist begins at home.
Irish women's hammer trailblazer Nicola Tuthill, then just 15 years old, watches on as her dad Norman builds his daughter a throwing circle (and then cage) in a field at home on their farm in Kilbrittain.
On Monday, Nicola, now 21, will throw in the World final and is guaranteed a top-12 finish.
And her remarkable rise started at home. 🙌
@JC200022@paulrusty We tried & tried, with others, to get out 7s comp recognised by IRFU. Bar 1 great guy it fell on def ears, an inconvenience. 7s could’ve grown exponentially in IRFU summer league, over 6 wknds. Players would have gotten better exposure & widened the player pool.
