The train on Trick Williams' entrance jacket might be the actual ninth wonder of the world #WrestleMania 😂

I need Oba to eat Brock alive tonight. Like, the match should go two minutes tops. Just full-on annihilation. Make the 2020 main event with Drew feel like a marathon in comparison #WrestleMania

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.

I can't wait for @DanhausenAD to bump into the MFTs and realise they've stolen his makeup...

Still my favourite experience at the Emirates (and I've seen us batter Spurs, and was there for the 5-1 against City...this was WILD though)

On this day last year against Real Madrid... Declan delivered a double free-kick masterclass 🎯

The treble/quadruple Arsenal talk started in January if not before
That's setting an impossible bar that's been reached almost never in football history.
If they win the Premier League, that IS a massive success. Reaching the CL quarter-finals, on the back of the semis last year, IS success. They are growing.
Comparing them to the greatest sides in history and then criticise them every time they fall short, more than holding them to high standards, is IMO just a way to deny them credit for what they're actually achieving.
Having said that, today is certainly a disappointment.
Both statements are true.

I was a kid when I first asked my dad (an Arsenal fan too) who his favourite player was. I wasn't ready for the stories he told of a man called Rocky, he must've been *so* special.
Gutted I was too young to store any memories of him at Arsenal
