Lefty Gooner

I see a lot of negativity from Arsenal fans towards Unai Emery, and to be honest I think it's a bit strange. No one will pretend that Unai Emery worked out at Arsenal. He took over a club that was drifting on and off the pitch, immediately after the departure of a club legend. The mood around the club had been negative for a number of years. The recruitment had not been up to scratch. It wasn't a happy 18 months. He then went to Villarreal, won a Europa League title, the club's first major honours and backed that up by reaching the Champions League semi-finals the year after. At Villa he took over a squad that sat 13th, 4 points clear of relegation and has finished 7th, 4th, 6th and currently has them 5th. For a manager supposedly "incapable of balancing Europe with the Premier League," he's reached the Conference League semi-finals, Champions League quarter-finals and this year the Europa League semi-finals. A level of League consistency we haven't seen from Big 6 clubs like Man United, Spurs and Chelsea in recent years, whilst balancing Europe. He's clearly an incredibly talented manager. The Arsenal fans that are blaming Emery for rotating, (no doubt motivated by the fact Spurs won comfortably) when they still have a chance of winning a first trophy in 30 years... Just come across as weirdly petty. It'll be 7 years this November that Emery left Arsenal, their fans that are still looking to looking to downplay his achievements, need to move on!

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma in Bengal on 22 April: "In the detention camps in Assam, there are no Hindus. We only spit on Bangladeshi Muslims in these camps". "We do not consider Bangladeshi Hindus foreigners, but we give full ‘treatment’ to ‘Bangladeshi Muslims.’"

🚨 Michael Jackson will be Burnley’s interim manager until the end of the season, club statement confirms. Follows Scott Parker leaving with immediate effect.

Mesut Özil confirms what many suspected about how things ended at Arsenal FC: “As a star, I had a voice, and I knew I had to speak out on certain things. If I posted, I knew I would get in trouble with Arsenal. But I didn't care, I posted it and I was happy. So they closed the door on me. They didn't let me play anymore.” “It was difficult, because I was enjoying playing football and they just took it away from me. I thank God that I had my wife and kids with me.”

This 12-gauge folding shotgun fits in a standard backpack and goes from stowed to 'send it' in 3 seconds.

Remember that Arsenal sacked their 22-year kit man Mark Bonnick for saying, “Let children not be killed in Gaza.” This is not only a reminder; Bonnick has filed a lawsuit against the club and the hearings are expected to begin soon. We must show solidarity with him.

Hasan Piker has a massive platform - with over 11.3 million followers - and he's used it to normalize and amplify extremist rhetoric. The prominent Twitch streamer has explicitly expressed support for U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the PFLP. Piker recently said, "I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time" and he's called Hezbollah's flag his "favorite." On multiple occasions, he's used the dehumanizing terms "inbred" and "psychopath" to refer to Israeli and Orthodox Jews. He's also used rhetoric that trivializes the Holocaust, including by insinuating that Anne Frank would have supported the Houthis and equating Israel with Nazi Germany. Jews are not alone on the receiving end of Piker's vile rhetoric. On his livestreams, Piker has made misogynistic jokes about date rape and responded to Black critics with vulgar sexual insults. Piker amplifies this pattern of hate to millions of followers. His growing involvement in electoral politics and mainstream media spreads these toxic messages far beyond fringe spaces.
