Arsenal fans, you have a chance to sit down and let Enzo Maresca school you on how to beat PSG so you don't repeat the same mistakes next time.
I can absolutely get on board with him playing significantly less for England. However, the Spain game is the perfect illustration of how exposed and vulnerable England’s and Arsenal’s midfields are without him.

Wrestlers on Smackdown in the 2000s: “I wonder who I’m facing tonight.”
Teddy Long:
If you completely overlook the fact he’s beaten a load of trees by half the track, that’s some shape at the last for a novice hurdler 😮💨
🏇 Ruby Walsh on LOVE ME TENDER, per @RacingTV:
"He'll probably be into Graded company next time out - he looks a nice horse."

Saying the league has never been weaker hours after you’ve been held scoreless at home to Fulham with three attackers worth a combined 365m is brilliant.
For me, this is THE race that etched him into racing folklore. Beaten on two previous starts drew understandable conclusions that a 2nd gold cup win on heavy ground had bottomed him. Bossed it from the front and laughed at them up the straight. Kauto/Denman levels of resurgence🤩

I actually love our transfer window and our current transfer policy.
We’re not just buying anyone now like we used to so some weirdos online can brag.
We’re only looking at players who move the needle, period. BIG players. Eventually, we’ll get it.

It’s just cringe at this point.
Just bin him off and let him rot at Atletico for 4 years and go throw £85m at Bournemouth for Kroupi.
🚨🇦🇷 Arsenal remain attentive to Julián Álvarez situation and internal feeling is they can reach an agreement with Atlético on the fee.
But #AFC will only bid if Julián decides to open doors to the move: his stance will be the key factor.
So far, Julián only wanted Barcelona.

Arsenal’s depth is good but they don’t have a single world class player - Isak, VVD, Alisson, Barcola, Ekiteke would walk into their side. I’d say Wirtz would too - if not then plenty would make the case Sob takes Odegaard’s spot
Very good player (albeit one of the worst tacklers to play in midfield for a top team) but by far and away the worst pundit around 🏅
🗣️Paul Scholes is not sure Declan Rice and Bruno Guimarães will work well together at #Arsenal: “I’m struggling to see where the fit is with Bruno Guimarães and Declan Rice next to him. He needs legs around him. What he had at Newcastle was perfect for him, when you think of Joelinton, you think of Tonali.
“I spoke about Tonali around January time and that I would love him to come to Manchester United over Guimarães because of his athleticism and how he can get round the pitch a lot better now. Bruno needs that around him and he will have Declan Rice around him, but he played in a midfield three at Newcastle.
“I loved Newcastle’s midfield. I think Joelinton, Guimarães and Tonali, you’ve got to pick them up and you could put them in any midfield in the Premier League or Europe; I thought they were that good. Is Declan Rice right for Bruno Guimarães? I don’t know.”
I accept that this was edited, but my conclusions from this:
🇮🇹 Riccy is a technical freak
🇬🇷 Get the the plate smasher into the right areas his output will 📈
🏴 Noni been back a week & already hurting my head
🇪🇸 Any injury to Raya=fold the club
🏴 Dowman starts tomorrow
It’s been an all-timer summer for drying washing though, let’s not get it twisted 😮💨
What an utterly ridiculous assertion. Firstly, of course Gabriel’s level will drop without Saliba, the same would apply if the other way round. Secondly, you really think a pure competitor like Gabriel was bang at it yesterday after a month off in a meaningless game? Idiot.
