IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING !!

[LiveScore @livescore]

Arsenal Women had a higher attendance than 80 men’s teams in English football last season 👏

The Gunners have two teams in the top 20 👀

Look closely at the image!
That scoreboard shows 73:56. We were less than twenty minutes away from ultimate glory, defending with ten men, pouring our absolute blood, sweat, and tears into that pitch in Paris.

That night in 2006 broke an entire generation of Gunners. It left a scar that never truly healed.
For two decades, we carried the weight of that heartbreak, enduring the banter, the dry years, and the critics who said a club like Arsenal would never reach the pinnacle of Europe again.

But true greatness isn't about never falling.
It is about having the courage, the patience, and the relentless mentality to rebuild from the ashes.

Look how far we have come.
We didn't just survive the storm; we built a machine. Mikel Arteta took a broken culture and forged a brotherhood of warriors.
We stayed patient, we trusted the process, and we earned our respect back step by step.
We conquered England as Premier League champions, and now destiny has brought us back to the exact same stage.

This Saturday isn't just a football match.
It is the culmination of twenty years of waiting, hoping, and believing.
It is our ultimate redemption.

King Henry suffered for us then, but this Saturday, we finish the story.
The long wait is over.
The winning mentality is locked in.
We are ready to take what belongs to us.

In 1997, Brazilian soccer player Roberto Carlos took a free kick from 35 meters against France that seemed to defy the laws of physics as it curved around a wall of defenders at an angle that seemed impossible. ⁠
⁠
This “miracle goal” led a team of French physicists to publish a study in the journal New Journal of Physics, in which they explained that the extreme spin and speed created a “spinning spiral of the ball” that overcame gravity and air resistance.⁠

@Shadxwszn @jpslotlfc How many days until Arsenal gets its honor guard?

Y’all aren’t ready for how Nimesh ended that act 😭

He’s one of the best storytellers, and he’s not even aware of it.

This goal was absolutely unbelievable. Kane still feels grossly underrated in my view.

If anyone knows about staying back, off the front lines, it is President Bone Spurs 🤦‍♂️

[David Killip @DavidKillip]

Here’s a photo of some British service personnel who according to Trump ‘stayed a bit behind the front lines’ in Afghanistan. None of these brave people seem to have suffered from bone spurs.

@atrupar “They stayed a little back, off the front lines.”

Says Mr. Bone Spurs.

How many times do we think Ryan Binkley tried to pronounce proliferation before he just said “close enough”?
