I have good news and bad news. The bad news is...there's no good news. The good news is...there's no news. You're welcome.

I would not entertain the US vs UK drinking debate again. The Scots spent a week a Boston and the city ran out of beer. Just the Scots. Just the ones who could afford to travel. Naaa. End of discussion for me.

@AliAbouTabl @qsyahmd1 @grok Why should they? You just called it Entonox. Then went ahead to describe something else. Do some research beyond AI slob.

@qsyahmd1 @grok انت مش مصدقني يعني ولا ايه 😃

🩺💨 هل لفت انتباهك الأداة الخضراء الصغيرة التي كان يستخدمها اللاعب الكندي إسماعيل كوني ويستنشق منها أثناء خروجه مصابا خلال مباراة قطر؟ الموضوع أثار فضولي شخصيا.. وهذا ما عرفته عنها: 📌 هذه الأداة تعرف طبيا باسم "بنتروكس"، لكنها اشتهرت عالميا بلقب "الصفارة الخضراء". 📌 تحتوي على مادة مسكنة قوية وسريعة المفعول تسمى "ميثوكسي فلوران"، وتستخدمها الفرق الطبية في حالات الإصابات الحادة والكسور لتخفيف الألم بشكل فوري. 📌 المميز فيها أن المصاب يتحكم بنفسه في كمية المسكن التي يستنشقها من خلال قطعة الفم، ما يسمح بتخفيف الألم خلال الدقائق الأولى الحرجة قبل الوصول إلى المستشفى. 📌 لذلك كثيرا ما تظهر هذه الأداة في ملاعب الرجبي وكرة القدم وسباقات السيارات، خصوصا عند الاشتباه بوجود كسور أو إصابات قوية. 📌 وفي حالة إسماعيل كوني، لجأ الطاقم الطبي إلى استخدامها بعدما تعرض لإصابة خطيرة في الساق وسط مخاوف من وجود كسور، قبل تثبيت قدمه ونقله خارج الملعب على محفة. 📌 ورغم أن مشهد "الصفارة الخضراء" أصبح مألوفا لدى فرق الإسعاف في بعض الدول، فإن كثيرين يشاهدونها للمرة الأولى عندما تظهر في أحداث رياضية كبيرة مثل كأس العالم.

@RowlandAkpan For me it's easier please. It's skips the lay talk. I don't have to explain simple pathology and all we have to do is a negotiation. Introduce yourself properly.

The urge for doctors to tell the doctor treating them “I’m a doctor too” is uncontrollable 😂

Ghana is really that sibling you hope will do well, but will clown them to the end of the world if they mess up. I just celebrated a Ghana goal, and I no put money.

@PO_GrassRootM What did we do to deserve the consequences we are facing now?

There will be consequences if your protest is hijacked or leads to deaths or injuries,” — Defence Minister Gen. Christopher Musa warned Nigerians.

FIRST WIN IN RED ❤️ #F1 #BarcelonaGP

USA has substituted Pulisic to make the game a bit more even.

This Paraguay's RB will see Pulisic in his nightmares tonight.

@MrbenjaaminX This is why we hate Arsenal fans...oh wait!

I keep telling people that a lot of you still don’t understand what “big club” actually means. Success comes and goes, trophies come and go, but size is something completely different. When Manchester United start winning the league again, that’s when you’ll truly see what global support, attention and noise look like. The whole football world will be forced to pay attention. The motion will be on a different level entirely. Some clubs are successful, some clubs are great, but very few are genuinely massive. That’s why even after years without a league title, Manchester United still dominates conversations everywhere. No disrespect, but even Real Madrid no big reach Manchester United when it comes to global attention and moving the football world. When United rise again, una go finally understand the difference between successful and BIG. 😂

@MarkFinch542288 @AnythingArs_ For God's sake! Shit on him, not Arsenal fans. I'm an Arsenal fan and I found it laughable. Every fan base has them. This is not the reason why you shit on Arsenal fans!

@AnythingArs_ Jesus Christ you wonder why everyone shits on Arsenal fans …Arteta took 1 title of Pep. You want to see how ground pep down look at pep’s interviews about Klopp’s Liverpool . Liverpool Won the league in a weak year same as Arsenal

You will not believe it but, Mikel Arteta was the reason why pep Guardiola left Manchester City!. The rumors are out, the new documentary has spilled the secrets, and the truth is finally laid bare: Pep Guardiola reportedly told his players he wanted to quit during the 2025/26 season because he was drained. Let that sink in. We are witnessing an unprecedented era where Mikel Arteta is not just winning titles—he is breaking the spirits of the greatest tactical minds in modern football history. Look at the trail of destruction left in the wake of this Arsenal project. First, it was Jurgen Klopp. Arteta finished above the legendary Liverpool boss in back-to-back seasons, and what happened next? Klopp resigned, citing absolute exhaustion. Then came the ultimate masterclass against the boss himself. Arteta went toe-to-toe with his former mentor, finishing above Pep Guardiola in consecutive seasons to snatch the Premier League crown and completely derail Manchester City’s domestic dominance. For the first time in Pep’s historic career, a rival denied him consecutive title races, leaving the City manager so drained that he ultimately walked away at the end of the season. The student didn't just learn from the masters; he became the relentless monster that hunted them right into early retirement. But the Arteta curse doesn't just stop at the absolute elite; its ripple effect has torn through the rest of the London landscape, turning rival technical areas into absolute revolving doors. Across the city, managers are trying to match the impossible blueprint set at the Emirates, only to get completely swallowed up by the pressure. Look at what happened at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca tried to bring his own tactical revolution to Chelsea, but trying to chase down Arsenal’s standards ended in a breakdown with the hierarchy, leading to his New Year's Day sacking. Enter Liam Rosenior, who was brought in from Strasbourg to steady the ship. Instead, Rosenior ran straight into the Arteta buzzsaw. In just three intense meetings, Arteta absolutely schooled him, exposing every tactical flaw and completely unraveling his brief tenure until the Chelsea board brutally axed him after less than four months in charge. Over in North London, Tottenham thought they found their savior in Thomas Frank, fresh off his success at Brentford. Instead, the relentless demands of competing in Arsenal's shadow left Spurs hovering just above the relegation zone, forcing the board to sack him after a torrid eight months. Nobody is saying Arteta is intentionally handing out pink slips or forcing legends to pack up their bags. But when you raise the bar this high, the psychological toll on everyone else is devastating. You either keep up with Arsenal, or the pressure will see you sacked by winter or retired by summer.

@euphoriafloral @40PlusImmigrant They probably weren't sure they'd still be Canada when the WC came along.

@40PlusImmigrant I think they should have atleast added Alberta.

🇨🇦Canada didn’t just lose host cities; it lost billions in tourism, jobs, and global shine. It still shocks me that out of 16 World Cup host cities across North America, Canada only got two, Toronto and Vancouver. Yes, soccer isn’t Canada’s cultural heartbeat. North America is more into hockey, basketball, NFL. But that’s exactly why this loss stings: The World Cup is one of the few global events that injects massive money and visibility into a country overnight. And Canada sidelined itself. 🇨🇦 What Canada just missed out on. By hosting only two cities, Canada walked away from Billions in tourism revenue, Tens of thousands of temporary jobs, Hotel, restaurant, transit, and retail booms, Infrastructure upgrades that last decades, Global branding for multiple cities, Long‑term investment attention, and Cultural energy and international spotlight Imagine the economic wave if games hit Montreal. Ottawa. Calgary. Winnipeg. Halifax. Even niche cities would have cashed out. Instead, the entire benefit is squeezed into two coastlines. 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, the U.S. is eating good. 11 host cities. 11 booming local economies. 11 regions getting global attention. A clean, effortless W. 🇲🇽 Mexico? Three cities. More spread. More economic distribution. 🇨🇦 Canada? Two cities. Two regions. The rest of the country? Benched. Even if soccer isn’t king here, the World Cup is a once‑in‑a‑generation economic engine.

@JacentaArs All this happened because we won the EPL. It could have been very different.

One of the most remarkable things I witnessed after the UCL final had nothing to do with football tactics, refereeing decisions or even the result itself. Arsenal lost on penalties. In the biggest match of their careers, Gabriel and Eze were the two players who missed from the spot. The modern football landscape has conditioned us to expect what comes next: - Abuse. - Scapegoating. - Personal attacks. - And in far too many cases, racial abuse. Many rival supporters were already waiting for Arsenal fans to turn on their own players. They expected outrage, finger pointing & the same toxic reaction we have sadly seen so many times across football. Instead, Arsenal supporters responded in a completely different way, they rallied around Gabriel and Eze, reminded them of everything they had contributed throughout the season, that one penalty does not erase months of sacrifice, commitment and performances that helped deliver a EPL and a UCL final appearance. The response was so overwhelming that Gabriel’s shirt sales reportedly skyrocketed in the days that followed, think about that for a second, a player misses one of the most important penalties in Arsenal’s history and the supporters respond by buying more of his shirts. Not because they enjoyed the defeat / weren’t hurting. But because they understood that supporting a football club means standing by your players in the worst moments, not just the best ones. That is what support looks like. That is what loyalty looks like. And in a football culture increasingly driven by outrage and online abuse, Arsenal supporters showed the world that empathy, class and unity still exist. You don’t have to win every trophy to make people proud. Sometimes the way you respond to heartbreak says even more about who you are. This club, these players and these supporters should be proud of that❤️ COYG

@godstime66697 @gamerwalt This clearly shows you're not married.

@gamerwalt The real mystery is how neither of you checked who was in the car for TEN MINUTES 😁😂

It is 11 PM, pouring freezing rain, and I just sprinted out of the grocery store. I see my Uber park. I yank open the back door, throw my bags in, slide onto the cold leather seat, and sigh, "Ugh, sorry I took so long, it's absolutely brutal out there." ​The driver just grunts in acknowledgment and pulls away from the curb. ​We drive for ten minutes in complete, heavy silence. Suddenly, he turns down a dark, winding residential street that is definitely not the way to my apartment. My heart starts racing. I pull out my phone to check the map, and a notification pops up on my home screen. Your Uber driver has canceled the ride. My blood runs completely cold. I am in a stranger's car. ​Terrified, I slowly reach for the door handle, ready to bail at the next stop sign. I clear my throat and nervously squeak out, "Um, excuse me?" ​The driver violently slams on the brakes, whips his head around to look at me, and screams: ​"WHERE IS MY WIFE?!" ​Turns out, I didn't get into an Uber. I just hopped into a random guy's car while his actual wife was still inside the store grabbing milk, and he just assumed she had climbed into the back seat with the groceries.

@AiSlophq @FCBBORESAH @brfootball The irony is lost on many.

@FCBBORESAH @brfootball But you stan harry kane?

90 Belgium goals for Romelu Lukaku. Only four men have scored more international goals 🇧🇪

@SQUESTvPSTAR @talkSPORT Arsenal tried it and Barcola was through on goal twice. If he had better control he would have scored two. Now imagine doing that for the whole game

@talkSPORT Can understand the set up in 90 mins but extra time both teams energy levels lowering then Arsenal could have been bolder in attack but not the case they must have felt penalties they were going to win, Right or Wrong you have a decision to make wether you win or lose that way.

🤷‍♂️ "If Arsenal opened the game up and went toe-to-toe, they'd have got beaten 3-0!" 🙏 "We've seen Arteta play expansive football... he decided this was the best way to win!" Simon Jordan hits back at people criticising Mikel Arteta for #AFC's defensive tactics vs PSG! 😡

@G0rlamiii @Wanalyst007 Yeah, like Bayern, Liverpool and Chelsea before them. Football is not basketball.

@Wanalyst007 I wish he gave you that corner cause goodness me you guys are holding on to this one thing like it's the title. You parked the bus for 100mins and if you played football you just might have won. Suck it up and stop flooding our TL

In stoppage time, if the ball goes out and the ref doesn't whistle for HT, no player ever rushes to take it because the ref has implied that the corner will be the final act of the half. In some cases, teams take even more time, wait for their get their goalie to get into the box Saka was literally just walking like any other player would. Arsenal are winning the game so why the hell would he rush to take a corner? Unfortunately, this is the point wherw the ref decided he wanted to be the star of the show and PSG's 12th man

Ooooh! I thought I had seen the back of Iraola!

@Ebuka97267634 The only person on this list with the potential to be a legend was The Dutch snake. All the other guys were mercenaries who did their jobs, got paid, and left.

Some ex-Arsenal players should have been legends, but they ended up becoming the club's enemies. Adebayo: Running the full length of the pitch to slide on his knees in front of Arsenal fans after scoring for Manchester City and Extreme disrespect and open taunting of the fans after his departure Nasri: Forcing a move to Manchester City and repeatedly mocking the fans on social media and constantly telling Arsenal fans to "move on" and gloating that he won trophies while they won nothing. Robin Vanpersie: Moving to arch-rivals Manchester United after Arsenal stood by him through years of injuries and Penning an open letter criticizing Arsenal's direction, then celebrating wildly after scoring against them. Gallas: Gallas did the unthinkable by stripping off his Arsenal kit and moving directly to their bitter North London rivals and has rarely said anything positive about the club since his departure. Which former player do Arsenal fans hate the most? Your thoughts

Somebody said they wanted to start a greatest Italian debate, Calafiori or Leo Da Vinci. Another replied and said Da Vinci isn't even the greatest Leo, Trossard is. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can't with Arsenal fans, I swear.

@LFCLaurie Not a problem when Slot won it last year. Or Pep twice before that. Arteta is where you draw the line.

Le Bris took Sunderland from relegation candidates to Europa League. Iraola went 18 games unbeaten with Bournemouth to take them to Europe for the first time. Andrews has never managed before and took Brentford to 9th. How is what Arteta’s done more impressive than those?
