Men are so private online. A guy could be moving to another country or having his first child, and he’d still only post a random football score on his story.

The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.
Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.
Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.
The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.
Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.
That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.
Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.
People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.
He’s too important man. He’s on course to play 70 games this season for club + country. That’s after playing at least 50 games a season for the last 5 seasons in a row. Eventually it’s gonna catch up with him. Arsenal have to find a way to protect him next season
