🗣️ Martin Ødegaard after Bernardo Silva’s late kick on his ankle in stoppage time of Norway’s 1-2 loss to Portugal:
“I took a hit on the ankle. It probably won’t be great tonight, but I hope it improves over the next few days. It was a senseless attitude from him. He just took me down long after I’d played the ball. I don’t understand what he’s doing.”
“This has no place on a football pitch. It’s a pity that people act like that, but that’s life.”
Silva, who came on late for Portugal, was booked and did not apologise. Asked about it afterwards, he said: “It’s football, my friend.” 🇳🇴
In Matthew 5:9, Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." There's a reason God calls us to live in peace. Don't allow people to get you out of character and block your blessings. Ask God to remove the urge to get your lick back. Remove the mindset that you have to hurt those who hurt you. Focus on protecting your peace and letting God fight your battles. It's hard, but being the bigger person and focusing on God is so worth it in the end.
Saw Mark Goldbridge nearly in tears. Almost felt sad — then I remembered the diving, the refs in Fergie's pocket, and you lot kicking Reyes around the pitch for 90 minutes. Enormous joy. Couldn't happen to a worse club. Rot, United. #COYG 🔴⚪
Since SAF left THIRTEEN years ago, Arsenal have finished above United TEN times, (10/13) and currently have finished above them 5 years in a row
In addition to winning more titles, FA Cups, yes and Community Shields
They’ve finished in the top 2 just twice in over a decade
We finished THIRTY TWO points ahead of them in 2025
Of our last 15 PL games against each other, we’ve beaten them 9 times and lost only 3
I am still confused as to the audacity with which their fanbase and legends speak to/about us

England football legend Wayne Rooney says that the place he’d like to visit most would be the River Jordan where Jesus Christ was baptised.
Revival times incoming.

This appearance meant more than most 🥹❤️
Australian rugby league player Jai Arrow had retired after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease, just two games short of 100 appearances for his club, South Sydney Rabbitohs.
His club secured special approval for him to start their final two regular-season matches, coming off after the opening seconds. Even the opposition clubs backed it.
And this is the moment he reached his 100th.
When you’ve spent years sharing a dressing room with the lads, walking out alongside them becomes something you almost take for granted. I can only imagine what it meant to Jai to pull that shirt on and join them again.
So pleased he got to have this moment with his club and his family.
Class from everyone who made this happen 👏

They were talking about “beating Arsenal will change the trajectory of our project”
Now its “we put up a fight against the Champions, I see positives”
We are THE STANDARD.
Mikel wanted level raisers. World class talent. He made that clear in the UCL post presser. He wanted to raise the ceiling of this attack. Its all he has ever wanted.
Psalm 15 (King James Version)
A Psalm of David.
1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
If Saka gets 1 goal and 6 assists before 29th October 2027 (428 days), he would be the youngest English player to reach 100 goals and 100 assists (incl. non opta assists)(surp. Rooney 26, 2012-13)
Pep Guardiola did not teach Erling Haaland how to score. He taught him how to become more than a goalscorer.
Thierry Henry asked Pep a brilliant question about how he had improved Haaland. Pep’s response was a masterclass in player development.
Haaland was already an elite goalscorer. Pep’s focus was on adding layers to his game, from his connections with teammates to his understanding of spaces and how he could make those around him better.
Then Pep referenced Eric Abidal. He remembered coaching Abidal at 27–29 and still seeing significant room for improvement in his build-up play.
This is one of the core of Pep’s philosophy. He does not look at a player and say, “This is what he is.”
He asks: “What can he become?”
The conversation is worth watching...
