We sold our spiritual home in Highbury; sold our best players; handicapped our greatest ever manager; All to compete at the highest level in the premier league.
Manchester City saw the same rules, in the same league, and decided to cheat.
Tear Man City limb by limb

Arsenal agreed a deal with Lille and his agents for Hazard, Chelsea fraudulently offered his agents more money which they did not report, Hazard went on to lead Chelsea to major titles which Arsenal could not win, did Chelsea gain a sporting advantage or not?
You guys do not understand that there are also levels in professional football!
EPL defenders are crazy physical and athletic.

Football Leaks claim that a Manchester City executive sent an email following the death of an FFP investigator as follows: "One has fallen, there are six to go." bit.ly/LeaksManCity

Let's be honest, City struggling to sell out a then 48k stadium each week yet also matching Real Madrid for revenue was clearly dodgy, the only miscarriage of justice was its taken over a decade for them to be found guilty
Him and Saliba are insane at this! So important to keeping the ball and pressure on the opposition.
From 279 ball control attempts this season, Declan Rice has made just 1 miscontrol under pressure and 0 miscontrols leading to a ball loss.
His 0.4% total miscontrol percentage ranks 1st among all CMs in the Premier League.

We don’t have as much space in PL football anymore but Rice and Haaland spring to mind as guys who can maintain a very fast speed for a while.
Really interesting insight from @waynerooney on the type of speed that can sometimes get overlooked in football.
You’ll often hear coaches say that top speed is overrated. That football is mostly about being quick over short distances.
It’s a fair point - most sprints in football are relatively short. Approximately 2-4 secs, over 10-20m. So acceleration, anticipation and timing are hugely important.
But Rooney’s point is equally true -
give genuinely fast players 30–40m to open up and top end speed is a massive plus.
The counter-attack goal against Arsenal in 09/10 is a brilliant example. Rooney starts from deep, sprints about 50m and has the ability to maintain his speed and get on the end of the pass.
In the current Premier League era, that ability is particularly valuable in a game increasingly full of transitions. For both attackers and defenders.
Manchester United used to publish their players’ top speeds, and Rooney was regularly right up there at or above 35 km/h.
There’s another reason developing top speed matters too: speed reserve.
Imagine two players:
Player A max speed: 36 km/h
Player B max speed: 31 km/h
At 25 km/h, Player A is at 69% of their maximum speed.
Player B is already at 81%.
So the same absolute running speed represents a very different relative speed demand for each player.
That’s just one more reason maximal speed matters beyond simply being able to win a foot race.
Raise your ceiling and you increase the speed you have in reserve.

Hepatitis C used to mean cirrhosis, cancer, liver transplant.
Now it's 8–12 weeks of tablets and a cure rate over 95%.
Science did that.
Schade all round game is lacking to me! I will admit I definitely don’t watch a lot of Brentford game but from my limited sample size.
Because his shots are frequently off high turnovers’
Charalampos Kostoulas has adapted to Premier League life at just 19 years old.
The Greek forward's 80.9 Shooting Grade ranks 3rd among CF's, with only 15.4% of his shot attempts being blocked.

lol. Brighton are paying for the media’s obsession with Arsenal.
Now there will be expectations on them, everyone is gassing them up. Let’s see how that plays out.
Genuinely can’t watch football like this for 90 minutes. I could pack a yatch with how much space players are allowed on the ball.

The thing that makes this even more confusing, is my problem after the incident wasn't even with the referee. He got conned by Ballard and in real time it's easy to make a mistake, as he did - and as the KMI have unanimously noted.
That's when he needs VAR to bail him out and correct the decision. So to then say VAR shouldn't get involved is so baffling.
What is the point of it then? Surely an incident like this is the exact reason it's been introduced?
The Key Match Incident panel voted 5-0 that the referee made an error and should NOT have awarded Sunderland a penalty against Arsenal.
But they voted in favour (3-2) of VAR not overturning the decision, deem it "did not meet the threshold for a clear and obvious error."
So, a 5-0 vote that the ref was wrong, yet it wasn't clear and obvious.... 😂
