A 4 year old Syrian boy walked past me this morning and said "well sham". If that isn't the definition of integration then I don't know what is.

Viktor Gyökeres has the coldest celebration in football. Nothing comes close. It hits so deep every single time. Fans of other clubs have all definitely tried it at home.

Monday night. Do it for him, @Everton. ❤️

I am a little petty and defensive when it comes to all these big accounts like @SkySportsPL , @ESPNUK , @talkSPORT and the rest go on their Arsenal agenda. People ask me why do I care what they say, this post below here is the reason why I sound so defensive. We have football fans everywhere in the world hating Arsenal for no reason. All football fans celebrate when their teams score, but now when Arsenal fans do it, it irks everyone else. Why? Because Arsenal has been painted as some villain in the eyes of all these football fans, and for what? It has gone on for soo long that as at now, nobody wants anything good to happen to Arsenal, let alone win the league. Meanwhile, there are real villains among these teams that everyone knows of and yet they get protected all the time. These big accounts are sowing hate towards Arsenal all the time when they start their negative connotations about Arsenal. There are now teams in almost all the leagues in the world, including the lower leagues hating on Arsenal for no reason. If you ask them why they hate Arsenal so, their response is, "I just don't like them". That is all the answer you will get. Yesterday, when newspapers in Spain were praising Atletico Madrid for their performance in the semi-finals first leg, in England, all the newspaper were busy coming up with vague and ambiguous headlines. Today look at the headlines and you will see the difference in treatment. Agenda will always have to agend... 🤦‍♂️

But yeh, Man City has the global fanbase to warrant the most expensive commercial deals in world football 😂

Arsenal have played this same fixture congestion 4 times since January you dense, inbred cretins. Get a brain.

When you understand that almost all Arsenal hatred comes from engagement bait and groupthink, everything becomes clear.

Total SHOTS: • 22 shots → PSG vs Bayern • 29 shots → Atletico vs Arsenal OPEN PLAY: • 16 shots → PSG vs Bayern • 23 shots → Atletico vs Arsenal

All despite missing Havertz, Saka, Ødegaard and Eze for sustained periods this season. Those 4 have never even played together once yet. But yeh, “Arteta out” 🤦‍♂️

Brilliant.

@FootballEra_ @garythegooner56 They don’t have trophies in anyone’s eyes. People want them to win when their teams fail to compete because it’s essentially deeming that year as null and void.

That is a very impressive stat for Arteta no matter how you look at it. It's not like he can decide not to be at the top when his team wins a game or has more points than everyone else. Stop this agenda of equating being in the lead to winning titles. Have you not watched a marathon before? Regardless of whatever you think, Arteta, fresh of being an assistant manager was made to compete with the best there ever has been in winning the league. And he has been pushing him all the way all the time. How many accomplished managers can say that? We have seen Pep literally conquer every league he has been in and crush all managers he has faced. Pep Guardiola is the best there is when it comes to winning the league. The only thing better than Pep Guardiola is a Pep Guardiola with unlimited funds. That is what Arteta has had to deal with all these years. Take this season for example, when Pep saw that his team was not up to par, he went and bought 2 of the best in form players in the league. How many teams can do that? So you can go ahead with your banter, but we all know that a league with no Pep is a league Arteta will dominate. I for one want him to at least win this league while Pep is there to sort of prove himself. But I know Mikel is the next big thing, all he needs is the first and he will bust out like a glorious butterfly. #COYG ❤🤍

@BBCMOTD We don’t want “big personalities”. Allowing the low-rate influencer class into punditry has destroyed the credibility of sportscasting. Keep your KSIs, Thogdens, Buvey, Rory Jennings, True Geordie, McKola, AFTV dipshits out of football coverage ffs

Get some perspective: Back in 1979–80, Arsenal played 70 games and won absolutely nothing. Brian Talbot played every single game. Won nothing. Alan Sunderland scored 29 goals. Won nothing. The ​defence conceded only 36 goals in the league and only 3 in 9 European games. They even kept a clean sheet against a peak Juventus side in Italy! Won nothing. We lost the FA Cup final to West Ham on a Saturday and the European CWC final on penalties to Valencia the following Wednesday. No one stopped supporting. No one abused the team. We came back year after year and backed the team. We won nothing for 8 years. Still we kept showing up. If you’re a fan, start acting like one.

@SamJDean I'm sure it didn't happen last week when they wanted to lose.Bring back Ken Bates and the car park behind the goal.

Chants of “Roman Abramovich” and “we want BlueCo out” by the protesting #CFC fans near Stamford Bridge

We are mourning Alex Manninger and play a big game this weekend. So the national broadcaster - the BBC - comes out with vapid clickbait like this. The weird bit is I doubt Pimblett even knows that many Arsenal fans in real life. It’s just an engagement driven circus at this point

Season will start, everyone will spend money to compete with City, by April, they all support City to defeat Arsenal because of their own failure. Too funny

🚨🚨HUNGARIAN CHESS THAT MAKES BRUSSELS CRY🤣😂🤣 🇭🇺 Viktor Orbán places his trusted “traitor” and the EU falls into the perfect trap: the checkmate that has left Brussels, Soros, and Obama humiliated. In a display of political chess so brilliant it borders on the comical, Viktor Orbán sniffed out long ago that the European Union, George Soros, Obama, and the whole globalist club were gunning for him. With no worthwhile left-wing opposition left in Hungary (none of them cracked the laughable 5% electoral threshold), the Hungarian prime minister decided to solve the problem his own way: he took his top ally and right-hand man, Péter Magyar, and sent him out front as a deluxe “opponent.” The plan was as simple as it was genius: Magyar, who until 2024 was a key piece of the Orbán government, dramatically jumped ship, played the dissident, eagerly accepted funds from the very Eurocrats who despise Orbán, and positioned himself as the great hope for “change.” The European left and their patrons fell into the trap like flies into honey. “At last!” they shouted in Brussels, as they cracked open the checkbook. No one understood a thing, of course, because hardly anyone speaks Hungarian and the headlines in Western media were too flattering to question. The result? Magyar won. And the moment he set foot in power, the “traitor” revealed his true face. He declared that the border “isn’t strong enough,” rejected 90% of Ursula von der Leyen’s demands, prioritized the rights of ethnic Hungarians, and in practice, stuck to the same sovereigntist line that so irritates the EU. The European Union, Soros, Obama, and company bit the bait, shelled out the cash, and now stare in stunned disbelief as the “change” they celebrated so much is exactly the same old Orbán—just with a different name. Masterstroke. 5D chess at its finest. And the best part: all of it legal, all of it clean, and all of it right under their noses.

@GoonerBlock What an embarrassment

What a bizarre interview, that’s not normal and fair play to the player for not falling into her trap

Arsenal still have by far the highest defensive line in the PL this season. The lowest low-block Arsenal has faced all season? Man City’s. If you’re gonna cheat, you might as well lie too I guess.

@GoonerTaIk Don't get me wrong, this is not good at all but it's a million miles better than Saturday.
