Two things bother me about the narrative building around Arsenal.
First, we're told constantly that the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. Fine. So what does it mean to be consistently fighting for the title in that environment? You can't celebrate the league's brutal competitiveness and then dismiss sustained title challenges as not good enough. Pick one.
Second, and IMO this matters more, failure in elite sport is not losing. Luis Enrique said it. Many others have said versions of it. Failure is not trying again. It's accepting the ceiling. It's going through the motions. Arteta has never done that. Every setback has been fuel for the next attempt.
The problem is social media runs on binary outcomes. Win or fail. Hero or fraud. No room for nuance. No room for the manager who rebuilt a club into genuine title contenders and is still hungry for more.
Simeone has been at Atlético for over a decade. Two league titles, two Champions League finals. Still no European Cup. Nobody serious calls that failure. They call it one of the great managerial tenures in modern football. And I'm convinced that given 14 years like Simeone, Mikel will win more leagues than him.
Arteta may or may not win the league this year. He may not lift the Champions League this year or next. But as long as he keeps pushing, keeps trying, keeps competing at this level, failure isn't what this is.
Find another name for it
By the way, if City wins the league, the achievement would of course be enormous.

@NebbettStephen sound familiar 😂😂👏🏻👀👀

Former Arsenal academy star Matthew Connolly has recalled the time Nicklas Bendtner told coaches he's better than Alan Shearer 😅 He said: 🗣️ “We’d be in team meetings and he’d look like he had the hump. “[Youth team coach] Steve Bould asked him what was wrong and he said, ‘I don’t understand why we signed [Emmanuel] Adebayor, I’m here, I’m ready to play’. We were only 17 at the time and nowhere near the first team. “Steve would give him a bit of a rollicking about it, tell him he used to play against strikers like Alan Shearer, and Nick would be like, ‘I’m better than Alan Shearer’. “It’s just because he believes in himself.” You can't knock his confidence 🤣

$3 million from whale vomit. A 60-year-old poor fisherman just became an overnight millionaire.
Naris Suwannasang was taking a casual stroll along Laem Thalumphuk beach in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand, when he noticed several pale, rock-like lumps washed up on the shore. He almost walked past them. Instead, he called his cousins to help haul the mysterious chunks home.
What he had found was ambergris, known as "floating gold," a rare secretion produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. At roughly 100 kilograms (220 lbs), it is believed to be one of the largest ambergris discoveries ever recorded in history.
To verify his find, Naris held a lighter to the mass. It melted like a candle and released a distinct musky smell, a telltale sign of genuine ambergris.
Word spread fast. A businessman from Phuket immediately made contact, offering 960,000 Thai baht per kilogram if the substance is confirmed as Grade A quality. That would total over $3.2 million, an almost unimaginable sum for a man who was previously earning just $625 a month.
Ambergris is one of the most prized ingredients in luxury perfume production, used in iconic fragrances to make scents last significantly longer. Naris also told reporters he planned to register his discovery with police, fearing it could be stolen from his home.
Experts have been called in to confirm the quality. The final payout is still pending, but one beach walk may have changed this man's life forever.

🗣️🏴 John Terry on Arsenal:
"It's ridiculous to say there should be an asterisk on Arsenal if they win the Premier League, Chelsea won their first Champions League thanks to a corner kick goal from Drogba, we can't eliminate set pieces from the game and Arsenal has learned to use them correctly and is the best team currently."
"I scored many set-piece goals that helped us win a lot during my time as a player, let's not underestimate the wonderful things Arsenal are doing."
