A six-minute VAR delay with 25 replays to decide which of the multiple set-piece wrestling manoeuvres was clearly and obviously worthy of punishment. A fittingly decisive moment for the 2025-26 Premier League season.
Arsenal’s route to the final is insane.
They’ve been playing Europa League football the whole way through ffs 🤣

A rude awakening likely awaits them against a proper side.

Nowruz is one of the most important Persian holidays and coincides with the vernal equinox and the first day of spring.
In the days leading up to Nowruz, Chahārshanbe Sūrī (Fire Wednesday) is celebrated by jumping over bonfires, a ritual that marks the transition into the new year, casting off the past year’s hardships and welcoming light and health. Fire symbolizes purification and cleansing in Persian tradition, and is often vividly depicted in miniature painting, as in this scene.
