Arteta to Arsenal:

“listed as ‘remote’ for visibility” is wild

The curved line outside the penalty box is not decorative. It has one job. And it is more important than most people realise. It is called the penalty arc. That small D-shaped curve sitting just outside the top of the penalty area. A lot of fans have even looked at it thousands of times without ever stopping to ask what it actually does. Here is the answer. Under Law 14 of the IFAB Laws of the Game, every player except the penalty taker and the goalkeeper must be at least 9.15 metres away from the penalty spot when a penalty kick is taken. The arc is simply how that rule is drawn onto the pitch. The penalty spot is 11 metres from the goal line. The penalty area itself only extends 5.5 metres behind that spot toward the halfway line. Without the arc, a defender could legally stand right on the edge of the box, just 5.5 metres from the spot, and that would violate the required distance without technically breaking any visible boundary. The arc closes that gap. It is drawn with a 9.15-metre radius centred exactly on the penalty mark, bulging outward to guarantee that every player behind it is the correct distance away. That is its only function. It plays no role in free kicks, corners or any other situation in open play. The moment the penalty is taken, the arc becomes irrelevant again until the next one. Referees check it before every penalty kick. Players who step inside it before the ball is struck are penalised for encroachment. My name is Ajoje.

@adidasfootball Do not make us wear next season home shirt in the final!!!! Let this seasons shirt have its moment

lol marvel sets just one big Arsenal watch along 🤣Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Bettany🤣

Benedict Cumberbatch goes to watch his very first live Arsenal F.C. game That's a chant we'll probably have to learn too lol

I'm sorry but I didn't even get 5 seconds into this. MINUS SIXTY ONE 😭😭😭😭😭

Aaaaand we're off again 🤣

wtf is that bicycle kick

Brentford are also invited to the parade btw. Why on earth they demanded £40m from Spurs but accepted a loan with obligation for £27m from us I’ll never understand 😂

Bukayo Saka is the only player in Arsenal’s current squad who started Mikel Arteta’s first game in charge. Seven years later, he scores the goal to send them to a Champions League final. Football 🥹

Amanda Mofokeng was last seen on the 27th of April. That morning, she requested an Uber to take her from home to work. However, she did not make it to work, and her phone was switched off when colleagues tried to call her. A case of kidnapping has been opened at Malvern police station. Let's please find our sister the same way we fought to find Mazwi The driver is suspected to be a foreigner

I got into Harvard’s Master in Design Engineering because of an app I built to help people in townships and informal settlements design, build, and finance their own homes. But I can’t afford to go. So I decided to walk from Durban to Cape Town to raise the funds myself. Along the way, I’ve had to spend money on proper hiking gear just to survive the journey. Today something incredible happened:@kway_za through. I even connected with the guy who designed my bag, and they’re now sponsoring some of my gear. What’s wild is that my good friend @mbalimcdust encouraged me to write an article about my journey, and that article led to Cape Union Mart reaching out. A reminder that sharing your story can open unexpected doors. I’m even willing to take a loan, but as an international student I can’t get one in the US, and I can’t access one here because I’m leaving to study overseas. Like the youth of ’76, I’m done waiting. This walk is my small way of fighting to become the change I want to see in a crisis that’s deeply personal to me. Three decades into democracy, 2.5 million South Africans are still waiting for an RDP home. Some families have waited for decades. My aunt passed away still waiting. Please support and share my journey. GoFundMe: gofund.me/01604cf47 Journey Trailer: youtu.be/c_Kx0U8sdOM Try the AI housing platform here: ubuntudesigngroup.com

We should be outraged by what Gayton McKenzie is doing at Sports, Art and Culture. We cannot be told there's no money for the National Arts Council, but there's a budget set aside for the 2010 Bafana Bafana World Cup squad to travel to the US?
