🚨🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney on West Ham United vs Arsenal Game: 🤯
“People keep talking about individuals, moments, luck, referees and all the rest of it, but when I watch Arsenal, I see a proper football team. I see a side that is coached at the very highest level. Honestly, if you don’t rate this Arsenal team or you can’t understand the level of football they’re playing, then I’m sorry, you simply do not know football. And I’m saying that as someone who’s played the game at the top level for years.
This Arsenal side are unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. They are so compact, so organised, so disciplined in everything they do. There are no gaps, no panic, no unnecessary risks. Every single player understands his role. When you watch them, you almost don’t even see individuals anymore, you see a programme. You see a machine. Everything is synchronised. It takes a very high football IQ and tactical understanding to truly appreciate the level this team operates at.
People will watch them and say ‘they’re boring’ or ‘they’re robotic’, but do you know what I call it? Elite. I call it winning football. I call it a team that knows exactly who they are. There’s a reason they leave no lapses for opponents. There’s a reason teams struggle to break them down. There’s a reason they control matches the way they do. That doesn’t happen by accident.
I backed Arsenal from the very beginning of the season to win this league and people laughed at me. People told me City would walk it, people said Arsenal would bottle it again, but look where we are now. Two games left and Arsenal are on the verge of becoming champions. And honestly, I’m delighted for them because they deserve it.
The fans deserve it as well. Arsenal supporters have waited a long, long time for this feeling. They’ve gone through years of frustration, banter, disappointment, nearly moments, false dawns, all of it. But they stayed patient. They kept believing in the club, believing in the process, believing in the manager and the players. Now they’re finally about to get rewarded for that patience.
I think Mikel Arteta deserves enormous credit because what he’s built is not just a good side, it’s a culture. There’s standards there now. Serious standards. Every player fights for each other, every player works, every player sacrifices. That’s why they’re champions in my eyes.
And I’ll say this as a Manchester United man, this is the level I want Manchester United to get back to. This is the standard. Watching Arsenal now reminds me of what elite football clubs should look like. The control, the hunger, the mentality, the structure. When you get to this level, football becomes enjoyable again for the fans because they trust their team completely.
Arsenal fans can finally smile again because this team has given them something to be proud of. And I genuinely believe this is only the beginning for them. I think they’re going to do great things over the next few years.
So to everyone who laughed at my prediction earlier in the season, you’re not laughing now. Maybe it’s time people start respecting this Arsenal side properly because what they’re doing is special.”
Ok so on paper we may have got a fortunate FA Cup draw for once, but no-one has mentioned that we were the only team in the 5th round draw who had got there by defeating 2x recent FA Cup holders in Portsmouth (2008) & Wigan (2013)

Knowing how Israel operates,my assessment is that Israeli forces intentionally killed #WCK workers so that donors would pull out & civilians in Gaza could continue to be starved quietly.Israel knows Western countries & most Arab countries won't move a finger for the Palestinians.
Ukraina 🇺🇦er i ferd med å få overtaket over Russland🇷🇺.
De har endret strategi og tatt i bruk nyutviklede droner som kan nå mål mange hundre kilometer inne i Russland. Utrolig presise angrep mål som er viktig for russernes evne til å føre krigen i Ukraina.
En dronekrig-tråd 🧵
Bør leses av dere som mener det er OK Israel kollektivt straffer Gaza for 7.10. og at 12 UNWRA-ansattes påståtte ugjerninger skal ramme 6 millioner palestinske flyktninger. Dere er så hinsides all lovgiving og moral! https://t.co/UPU6IJgeRp
Nelson Mandela recounts how the Palestinians helped the fight against apartheid in South Africa when the United States and the west refused to give any assistance.
This is what happened at the Nakba in 1948. Its exactly the same playbook. First the Israelis drove out the Palestinians with atrocities & mass murder. Then they demolished the villages & built settlements over the ruins. Then they denied the Palestinians had ever been there or that they ever existed.
The IDF-settler playbook:
1. Brutal settler violence forces Palestinians to flee their village
2. IDF declares a closed military zone to "avoid clashes"
3. A few years pass
4. Nearby settlement expands or new settlement is built on village land
This is called ethnic cleansing.

The first Palestinian person I ever met was my junior year in Germany. He was a medical student named Nimr living on the floor of my apartment building, and for weeks, he wouldn’t talk to me. At one point I asked him why he wouldn’t talk to me, and he said because I was American.
En åttedobling av befolkningen på Løren siden 2000 og ikke en eneste ny fotballbane. Istedenfor en bane på litt av megatomten ved siden av, kommer det 900 nye boliger. https://t.co/fzw3XyUadG
DET GLADE KOMMUNE-KUK!
Denne lille søde dreng er min søn Storm, da han var halvandet år. En dag til morgensamling tog han en lille ærtepose på hovedet og grinede lidt af det. Episoden blev straks til en såkaldt “fokusbarnsrapport”. Noget kommunen går meget op i. 1/18
