🚨The days after the 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth were probably the worst of the campaign, all the more so because it was before that huge trip to Manchester City that had been weighing over the team for months; the great nemesis that had to be overcome.

A growing problem at that point was not just psychological, though. It was physical. Arsenal’s players looked and felt exhausted.

That was partly because of the schedule, but also Arteta’s own training demands. The Basque’s response to any setback was to work even harder on the training ground. It was an ethic that could be construed as admirable in other circumstances, but not with finely tuned athletes. The effects could be seen in the injury crises endured every April.

So, Eberechi Eze, one of the newer players who was also among the most laid-back, went up to his boss.

In so many words, he told Arteta, we can do this, but we need a bit of space.

The manager listened.

Days off were increased. The intensity of training sessions was lightened. In the week before they claimed the title, he gave them three days off followed by a barbecue.

It all worked out.

6am in London, less than 8 hours after winning the league… and the Arsenal boys are just casually walking around the streets like regular lads.

No entourage, no superstar behaviour — just vibes, laughter and football.

Bukayo Saka especially looking like the most normal guy you’d ever meet despite earning thousands every week.

That’s what people forget sometimes: beneath the fame and money, most of these boys are just humble kids who genuinely love playing football.

Congrats to all Arsenal fans around the globe.

2019/20, when Liverpool and their media outlets thought scoring goals from set-pieces was in vogue 👀

Arsenal become the masters of this dark art and every Liverpool fan and their sponsored media outlets accuse them of ruining football.

Hypocrites

We didn’t even score from a corner but Gabriel had to remind the haters. I love it.

Liverpool v Everton is the first game this season with only 3 minutes added time, happened to be when Liverpool were holding on to a 2-1 lead.

2nd half included 6 subs and 3 yellow cards.

When Liverpool have been losing or drawing there has been 5, 7 and 11 added minutes! 🤯
