🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Mason Greenwood’s relationship with Marseille is COMPLETELY BROKEN now:
• Training session interrupted this week after Greenwood ignored instructions
• Multiple CLASHES with staff and management
• Medhi Benatia and OM board reportedly "can no longer stand him"
• Relationship with Benatia now NON-EXISTENT
• Skipped mandatory French lessons and club activities
• Often ignored recovery protocols before matches
• Marseille expect Greenwood to LEAVE this summer
• Frustrations from staff and players over what they saw as an INDIVIDUALISTIC attitude
The situation at Marseille has exploded behind the scenes.

Just exited a train impacted by today’s rail disruption across southern England - it was running 2.5 hours late and the conductor gave the most heartfelt apology for a late train that I’ve ever heard.
As we pulled into Waterloo, he told his passengers: “We are so sorry for the disgraceful delay… 2.5 hours. It should not be like that. Write to your MPs!”
Speaking for himself and the driver, he repeated: “We are so sorry for your delay”
Finally, he signed off with a gag to cheer us up, asking: What is the longest word in the English language?
And then he gave the answer: “Smiles because there is a mile between the first and the last s” 😎
@PaulHolman100@haynesdeborah My favourite example is Ask vs Aks. children of Caribbean origin using the original "Axe" to "Axe a question" are speaking English properly and "axe" was the correct way until around the 1600s, when English was exported to the Caribbean, where it remained the same.
@PaulHolman100@haynesdeborah a lot of ill informed Brits think that words that we import from America were originally British terms that have since morphed within the UK.
the Americans, like many English speaking groups abroad, offer a window into the British usage at the time that the word was exported.
Man City's net spend is not the most important factor in the discussion about their advantages.
Wages is the real issue. Generally, the best correlation for success in Europe.
City spend £120m a season more than Arsenal a season (£468m total). The gap has been far higher over the past 5 years (more than half a billion over 5 years more than Arsenal).
That extra £121m would get you:
6.6 Bukayo Sakas
10.8 William Salibas
15.38 Jurrien Timbers
The fight is not fair. What Arsenal have done to be in the same conversation is incredible.
1. Arteta broke the Arsenal record for the most wins in a single season in two fewer games. He won 40 games in 58 matches. The old record was 39 wins in 60 matches. When Wenger did this he won two trophies.
2. Arteta broke the Arsenal record for the most goals scored in a single season. He did this two years ago.
3. Arteta is the English manager with the most win ratio in the Champions League history. In fact, the only people ahead of him in the list, are Bayern managers. Finish.
4. He has the longest unbeaten streak against the top 6 clubs in England (22 games).
5. Arteta has taken Arsenal to back-to-back UCL semifinals for the first time ever, and now in finals since 2006. For context, Wenger took Arsenal to two semifinals in 24 years. Pep took City to three Semifinals since he joined City.
6. Arteta has never finished a season in a lower position than the previous season. He’s the only manager in history to do this over six years.
7. He’s the fastest manager to reach 8 coach of the month awards in the league’s history.
Arteta has broken many Arsenal records, and some other records. And yet, none of this means anything if he doesn’t win a major trophy with the club. This is why, regardless of how I feel about him, I need him to win a major trophy. This is what will cement his name amongst the greats.
Arteta, please, drag your tired boys across the finish line. Claim these records with pride.
Congratulations in advance to my gaffer.
@Frec2015@adamkeys_ if you ask me it's excellent analysis. Arteta if you listen to his conferences always talks about balancing the workload in training during game heavy times.
@adamkeys_ Such poor analyis.
90% of a players load between Aug - May is in training.
You just know that due to his Autism, Arteta absolutely beasts them everyday.
This is the guy that said Saka should be playing 70 games pa.
There are so many mistruths spoken about how Mikel Arteta and Pep Gaurdiola rotate.
The overuse of Rice (4,000 minutes) and Zubimendi (4,097 minutes) is a frustation, and it's showing, as it's been equally matched with the underuse of Norgaard and Lewis-Skelly, so options to rotate from the start or within games have been there.
Following Atletico, #Arsenal now have 13 players on more than 2,000 minutes, City also have 13. Both clubs have 10 players on more than 2,500 minutes, howeverw hen it comes to the 3,000 minute mark, Arsenal have seven and City have five, although we have played more games.
However, it's overlooked that Guehi and Semenyo have skewed their numbers, as each arrived in January and have clocked 1,240 and 1,567 minutes respectively since joining, however they have played 4,072 and 3,412 minutes respectively when you combine their minutes at Palace and Bournemouth. It's also worth noting that Semenyo has clocked 420 more minutes than Arsenal's most used attacker (Gyökeres), whilst Guehi has clocked 300 minutes more than Arsenal's most used defender (Saliba).
The assumption that Pep has ratoted more effectively than Arteta is simply not true. Both have used their squads extremely effectively, with Arsenal having 19 players on 1,000+ minutes (plus two on 990+), whilst City have 22 players.
This season, Mikel has only fielded the same team in back to back league games on two occasions, due to a mix of injuries and rotation. Whilst we there are clearly areas of improvement required with the rotation of Rice and Zubimendi, most others have been used in line with what you would expect, with the exception of Timber who has suffered due to White's injuries, like White did with Tomiyasu's injuries.
Finally, both teams cover huge distances in every game, and along with Leeds, top the running charts. As of the 28th March, Arsenal averaged 114.4km per game, whilst City averaged 115.7km per game, however both Rice and Zubimendi are in the top 10 players for distanced covered.
It's much easier to pull headline numbers, or make big statements that to actually look into the rotation and balance of work that has taken place, but this has been a huge areas of growth for Mikel Arteta this season, and it's a major reason why we have competed so strongly on three fronts.
@Tion888@NeverteIImeodd I truly can’t fathom how some of you are this fucking stupid. Why the fuck do you think she put the phone down? Use your fucking brain man, ffs. 🤦♂️
What a fucking awful way to die. To be having a calm and fun moment with your friends without knowing that that will be your last smile. And the helplessness of the one recording, literally, not being able to do anything.
Yes,
Why should America continue to fund
and upkeep these bases
When the time came that we needed
ACCESS to them
to accomplish a goal
as important to European countries
as to us
We were flatly denied that access
by our "friends"
by our "allies"
It's like that saying:
With friend like these . . .
Marco Rubio says "If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense when we need them, we ought to close them down and remove our troops from Europe!"
Agree?
@Harrisbro777 where were you when the US president threated a NATO ally? Nobody in NATO believes Trump respects its rules, so why would anyone act otherwise.
the US is no ally to Europe any more.
🚨 PSG have entered the race to sign Gabriel Martinelli, with the Arsenal forward attracting growing interest ahead of the summer window.
The Brazil international could be available for around £50M with the Gunners set to make changes in attack next season.

@damzychillin@Evans_is_king you can have both Lisandro Martinez, And Garnacho... both played with Ronaldo in 2021 and 2022 at Utd. Both have played with Ronaldo, Messi and Fernandes.
@OrdainedInfidel@BishtSaheen the US should just leave, NATO, and leave Trump in the US to fight their own wars. they obviously don't believe in the principles behind NATO and now need to align with countries that suit Donald Trump's personal aims, not those of the American people or their partners.
@BishtSaheen The largest threat to a NATO member was made by the President of the United States against the Danish territory of Greenland. the United States is apparently a NATO member, but has threatened another member.
are you sure you know what NATO is and how you how it works?
@haywhyy09 Man United and Chelsea might be odious clubs full of odious people... but they aren't your local arrival from up the road for the last 100 years.
I hate Tottenham exactly the same as I love Arsenal, because hating Spurs is the very definition of loving Arsenal.
