Thank you everyone for the birthday love ❤️ Another year, more trophies with @CPFC and hoping everyone at @Arsenal adds another one today too!! Psalm 107:1
Roy Keane is absolutely spot on here, but of course Manchester United fans won’t like hearing it.
This is a club that has been drowning in mediocrity for years, managers getting sacked, standards falling, players hiding, and the whole club moving like a mid-table project. Now the first time there’s a little bit of light, the main conversation is about assist records, documentaries, and interviews about personal numbers.
That’s exactly the problem Roy Keane is talking about.
The Manchester United team Keane played for didn’t celebrate assist records like trophies. They celebrated Premier League titles, Champions League nights, FA Cups, and dominance. That was the standard.
Messi has broken records that some players can only dream of, but you’ll never see him crying because a teammate stopped him from adding one more stat. Greatness doesn’t beg for validation.
Bruno’s record is impressive, no doubt, but he’s doing too much. You can’t be moving like you’ve completed football when Manchester United are still nowhere near where they’re supposed to be.
At a club like United, assists should be part of the job not the headline of the season.
People criticise Man City because they don’t have as much fans as Man United and the likes, but one thing they know how to do is honor people.
Yesterday, after the game at Etihad, they awarded Bernardo and John Stones a lifetime ticket to Man City games, amongst many other things.
On the red side of Manchester, Paul Scholes was complaining recently on a podcast that he was struggling to get a match ticket for a Man United game, this is a player who won dozens of titles at the club.
In this clip, they also honor a player who won the FA Cup for them 50 years ago.
Run it down to Kompany, to Fernandinho, to the new generation, Man City as a club know how to honor people. Give them that.
In fact, they missed honoring Ederson and Gundogan, guess what, they brought them back to the club yesterday, and the event today.
Their fans also feel closer to the club and players than many bigger clubs. This event was £12 and sold out. Look at the organisation.
Leandro Trossard. He joined Arsenal in his prime years for a bargain of £20million and my word, has he repaid that price tag and a lot more.
The goal against West Ham alone will live with me forever.
He’s had a difficult time off the pitch this season but when Arsenal needed their most clutch player to deliver, he did just that.
It was always going to be him.
Leo, thank you. ❤️
What Arsenal did different this time that many overlook…
My wife asked me what Arsenal did differently this time around despite missing out on being champions especially in the last 3 seasons…
I told her the major difference in the Arsenal team was that we suddenly had an influx of players who love Jesus, pray & fellowship together.
They never went into any game with doubts in their hearts but faith in God that He can help them come out victorious. Even when they lose games, they are still strong in faith.
Especially when Man City took over towards the end of the season, it all looked bleak but the players had an unshakeable Faith & almost immediately it turned around again.
For the first time, we have players who publicly declare Jesus as Lord and post Bible scriptures — depending on God for His help.
This was a big plus & a major factor that cannot be overlooked.
Happy 85th Birthday to my father, a lifelong Spurs fan seen here wildly celebrating his club’s wondrous achievement yesterday in somehow not being relegated despite a truly atrocious season even by their standards.
Congrats, Dad!
When’s the parade? @SpursOfficial
Como boss Cesc Fabregas: "When I arrived four years ago as a player, we used to get changed in a bar. Today we're in the Champions League.
"Today I was speaking with two physiotherapists - we used to train without a sports centre, in a place I can’t even remember where it was. We had massages inside a bar, next to a pitch.
"Everyone used to leave at 12 or 12:30, there was nobody around. And today we are fourth in Serie A."
