Every time Arsenal play, the case for Bruno Fernandes as Footballer of the Year gets stronger.

It's inevitable, common sense will prevail.
🚨 JUST IN 🗣️: Thierry Henry on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal after the 1–1 draw with Bayer 04 Leverkusen:
“Listen… I love Arsenal, but I have to be honest.
If the plan every week for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal is ‘win a corner and pray,’ then we have a problem.
When I played, we attacked teams. Now I watch and it looks like everyone is waiting for the next set piece.
You cannot have this much talent and play like a Tony Pulis Stoke City”
🚨 SAVE THE CLICK 🚨
- talkSPORT teases an exclusive story where a pundit delivers a scathing assessment of Arsenal's summer 2025 signing of Viktor Gyokeres as a costly error, amid the striker's lackluster integration into the squad.
- The critique highlights internal discord, with Arsenal's scouting team favoring RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko over Gyokeres, who joined for over £80 million from Sporting CP but has struggled to deliver goals.
- This revelation fuels broader discussions on Arsenal's transfer strategy under Mikel Arteta, as the club's failure to secure a prolific forward continues to hinder their Premier League title push in 2025/26.
@alexmoneypenny@scottjwillis You’re so naive! We play every 3 days we will not always have an amazing performance, it’s not like Chelsea dominated us with a billion pounds squad, but I get it you say stupid shit for clicks, I hate fans like you. You proved you don’t know much about us the overlap proved that
That was absolutely horrible. Horrible.
We have deserved a jammy win. But that was absolutely disgusting.
@scottjwillis what's the Deserve to Win-o-meter saying mate? 😂
Yes, Arsenal are in a strong financial position.
Revenue hit £691m (+12%), wages at 50% of revenue (well controlled, down 3pts), pre-tax loss slashed 92% to £1m, and player trading profits up 59% to £81m.
Purchases down 52%, sales up 60%. Borrowings rose modestly to £358m but net debt is manageable for a Champions League club.
Sustainable model with room to invest. Solid.

@alexmoneypenny@BigBearKentlaar Stop trying so hard. We get you want the lime light but give your head a wobble martinelli down the middle will not work in this system or team.
@KieranMaguire@RobHarris@SkyNews@EdConwaySky Mental British man talking colonisation. Same guy moved to Monaco to avoid tax this guy can’t be real. he is so out of touch of reality let alone to be an owner of one of the largest football clubs worldwide supported by many “immigrants” 😂
We actually played well up until they scored their first, then we let our heads drop, and just completely crumbled.
This team has a huge mentality issue. There's zero faith when we go a goal down.
