The people who make it an advantage have less access to go to games than ever before. Deep NBA Playoffs/NBA Finals have become Super Bowl’d. Soulless corporate gatherings rather than a sanctuary for fans.
Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.
Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.
I recognise my football club again.
“Scientists don’t want you to know” is a phrase that always cracks me up, because if you actually meet a scientist, they will be shaking and crying like an overexcited golden retriever, desperate to tell you everything they know.
Todays declared as Bank holiday for Arsenal's title celebration in the UK for workers. You'll get double payment if you now decide to work. We've been telling everybody that Arsenal is the biggest club in the world. This is the first time of its kind in the world of football.
We were up against a state-backed institution who have been breaching the rules for decades.
We had the whole country waiting to watch us fail.
We had the weight of a 22-year drought on our shoulders.
It was Arsenal against the world. But guess what? Arsenal came out on top.
I hope Americans are paying attention to the fact that while millions are struggling to put gas in their tanks and food on their table, Mike Johnson is fighting to make sure members of Congress can still do insider trading because they only make a measly $174k annually.
West Ham looked more desperate to be the heroes who stopped Arsenal winning the title than to keep themselves in the Premier League. Good for them, they’re experts at finding their way back.
Manchester City were charged with 115 alleged financial rule breaches back in February 2023. In the three years since, they’ve continued to dominate, lifting five major trophies while the biggest case in Premier League history drags on unresolved.
This prolonged uncertainty is becoming an embarrassment for English football. The Premier League’s credibility, its competitive integrity, and the trust of fans across the country are all on the line. A competition built on the idea of fair play cannot function properly when one of its biggest clubs has over a hundred serious charges hanging over it for years on end.
Whether City are eventually cleared or found guilty, the process itself has been far too slow. Three years of limbo, multiple seasons of trophies awarded under a cloud, and no resolution in sight is simply not acceptable. For the good of the league, the fans, and the reputation of English football as a whole, this case needs to reach a definitive conclusion this summer. Dragging it into a fourth year would only deepen the damage.
The Premier League must show it has the teeth and the urgency to police its own rules effectively..otherwise, what’s the point of having them?
FA Cup final score:
Chelsea (fined £47m over secret payments) 0-1 Manchester City (still awaiting 115 charges to be heard after three years)
Ah, the magic of the cup
So basically, @ManCity would be able to financially dope their way out of punishment, having faced punishment for financial doping.
@premierleague you are an embarrassment to the game.
How is that not a red card? Clear denial of a goal-scoring opportunity. The inconsistency in this league is unbelievable. Saliba saw red for the same thing last year what’s going on with these decisions?
