@Gazwthegooner@LiamCrook1 Dortmund were in a similar position in Bellinghams last season from memory 🫣 on paper WH looked the hardest fixture but still massive games to come
Please, for goodness sake, it’s nowhere near won yet. Still have two massive games to play and we should never forget the Wolves game where we all thought it would be easy but was anything but that.
We’ve rattled an entire sport and its global fanbase. You just LOVE to see it. And if you think Arsenal and Arsenal fans are insufferable, just you wait until we land one of these trophies. My haters will want to deactivate their socials and consider relocating. We are coming. 😮💨
🚨🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney on West Ham United vs Arsenal Game: 🤯
“People keep talking about individuals, moments, luck, referees and all the rest of it, but when I watch Arsenal, I see a proper football team. I see a side that is coached at the very highest level. Honestly, if you don’t rate this Arsenal team or you can’t understand the level of football they’re playing, then I’m sorry, you simply do not know football. And I’m saying that as someone who’s played the game at the top level for years.
This Arsenal side are unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. They are so compact, so organised, so disciplined in everything they do. There are no gaps, no panic, no unnecessary risks. Every single player understands his role. When you watch them, you almost don’t even see individuals anymore, you see a programme. You see a machine. Everything is synchronised. It takes a very high football IQ and tactical understanding to truly appreciate the level this team operates at.
People will watch them and say ‘they’re boring’ or ‘they’re robotic’, but do you know what I call it? Elite. I call it winning football. I call it a team that knows exactly who they are. There’s a reason they leave no lapses for opponents. There’s a reason teams struggle to break them down. There’s a reason they control matches the way they do. That doesn’t happen by accident.
I backed Arsenal from the very beginning of the season to win this league and people laughed at me. People told me City would walk it, people said Arsenal would bottle it again, but look where we are now. Two games left and Arsenal are on the verge of becoming champions. And honestly, I’m delighted for them because they deserve it.
The fans deserve it as well. Arsenal supporters have waited a long, long time for this feeling. They’ve gone through years of frustration, banter, disappointment, nearly moments, false dawns, all of it. But they stayed patient. They kept believing in the club, believing in the process, believing in the manager and the players. Now they’re finally about to get rewarded for that patience.
I think Mikel Arteta deserves enormous credit because what he’s built is not just a good side, it’s a culture. There’s standards there now. Serious standards. Every player fights for each other, every player works, every player sacrifices. That’s why they’re champions in my eyes.
And I’ll say this as a Manchester United man, this is the level I want Manchester United to get back to. This is the standard. Watching Arsenal now reminds me of what elite football clubs should look like. The control, the hunger, the mentality, the structure. When you get to this level, football becomes enjoyable again for the fans because they trust their team completely.
Arsenal fans can finally smile again because this team has given them something to be proud of. And I genuinely believe this is only the beginning for them. I think they’re going to do great things over the next few years.
So to everyone who laughed at my prediction earlier in the season, you’re not laughing now. Maybe it’s time people start respecting this Arsenal side properly because what they’re doing is special.”
@RoxyD27 The gentlemen and women of the press have an infatuation with Guardiola. They have, since he arrived on these shores. Most of the time they are like the girl in Raiders Of The Lost Ark is with Dr Jones.
If Arteta did what Pep Guardiola did at that press conference, he'd be slated. The club would get a £50k fine, it'd be five pages in the red-top papers, and people would be calling for his sacking.
A bizarre #JamesBond dvd boxset this. Chinese. Low res rips, five per disc. Not always in the right order. Person who did the labels clearly a massive Die Another Day fan. Still, an amusing oddity and only 50p.
No James Bond film will age as beautifully in a plot sense than Tomorrow Never Dies
The seismic changes going on in UK politics atm, the billionaire backers of Reform…the bots on this platform when it comes to politics
The topic of control of the media as topical as ever #Bond
Not sure if l have posted this video before, but it's quite a fun compilation featuring clips from many of my film & TV appearances including #CarryOn, #Hammer, #Bond, #PinkPanther and even #HaiKarate!
Happy Saturday everyone,
Love as always from Valerie xx
#ProjectHailMary has grossed over $638 million worldwide as of earlier this week. This is against a $200 million budget. Where are the finance people now? Where are the penny pushers claiming Cinema is dying? The money isn’t there for films? I don’t hear you anymore complaining.
@wellyousaythatt@AFC__Xtra Love this - bizarrely one of my favourite Hammer Frankensteins. Nicely timed for May 4th with Vader and starlings first appearance together as master/monster
I actually disagree with all the criticism of Emery. I think most clubs who are reasonably secure in a European spot for next season would rest players for a Sunday game before a European Semi final second leg. I mean it’s annoying as it allowed Tottenham to win but I don’t see it as being that big a deal.
@WesSmall10@MailSport The script is written my friend - good luck to yours boys to fulfil the prophecy 😂😎👍 a euro trophy is deserved for your efforts 🏆 🥳
