Full VAR audio of West Ham’s disallowed goal vs Arsenal. 🔊
🗣️ VAR: “That’s a foul, what are we saying about Leandro Trossard & Declan Rice behind?”
REF: “I don’t know what you’re trying to show me, give me a clue! I don’t think there’s much in it.” ❌
@footyinsider247 🤣🤣.. every manager is the same, you look after your own club.. you foul someone it’s not a foul… that foul you it’s a red!… bloody hell Arsenal got a decision go in there favour!.. so fucking what!, every club has had one or two this season… stop your whingeing.. 🔴⚪️🏆🔴⚪️
🤬 Craig Burley has delivered a scathing verdict of Mikel Arteta after the Arsenal manager's comments following his side's win against West Ham:
🗣️ "He's one of the biggest hypocrites in modern day football, had that gone against him, he would have pointed out all of the other fouls that were going on."
🗣️ "He never talks about the holding from Declan Rice or what Trossard and others were doing, it's fallen in his lap - and when it falls in his lap, he plays Mr. Nice Guy."
Does he have a point here? 😬
Bir kaplumbağa dümdüz yüzerek balıkçıdan yardım istemeye geldi.
Ağzı istiridyelerle doluydu.
Balıkçı onları temizlerken o kadar uysal davrandı ki, kaplumbağanın o son derin nefesle dalış anı herşeye değdi.
🤢 "That was an absolute stinker..."
🥱 "I feel like I've watched the Conference League final."
❌ "That game's not good enough to be a Champions League semi-final."
Jamie O'Hara wasn't impressed with what he saw in Atletico 1-1 Arsenal 👀
🚨Guillem Balague has said it perfectly… absolutely spot on.
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 in my opinion 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.
