Tongue slightly in cheek, but also a hint of seriousness: This doesn't happen without Emi's loan spell at Reading.
His career was floundering before, proved himself with several incredible displays and was Arsenal no 1 a year later. The rest follows. The 'Ding revived him.

The financial situation of a football club being so dire that key players are sold - without the knowledge of senior staff - should be major national news btw. Not just a minor piece on the side of the homepage. Won't happen though will it.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Felix Nmecha & Jadon Sancho all came up in Manchester City’s academy 👀📈
Fast forward to 2024 & they are returning to England to play in the Champions League final at Wembley… What a come up. 🫡

and Wigan had to subsidise their fans' tickets at Old Trafford in last season's FA Cup down from £45.
Been a tough week personally; feels very strange that I can't call my grandma after the game to tell her how it went. She never really knew all that much about football, but looked out for our results on the radio and loved it when Reading won. So today meant a lot 💙

Burnley game of course known for Andre Gray diving for a pen.
Academy graduate Hal Robson Kanu kicking the shit out of the penalty spot to stop him kicking the ball properly, academy graduate Jake Cooper screaming in his face when he missed.
What a club 💙
The last time this happened was consecutive 0-0 draws against Wolves and Burnley with Jake Cooper and Jordan Obita at the back under Brian McDermott in 2016.

We can confirm that George Pușcaș has completed a loan move to Italian second division side Pisa and will play the remainder of the 2021-22 season in Serie B 🇮🇹
Good luck in Pisa, Puski! 💪
Some thoughts on Mark Bowen as he's been a topic of debate on here today.
I like him a lot, am confident he genuinely cares about

, communication has been on the whole good, and if I were the new owner I'd keep him.

The EFL continues to acknowledge the negative impact its actions are having on the Football Club and remains steadfastly committed to doing them anyway.

“I’ve spoken to Lucas and I’ve spoken to Yak. They both want to fight, stay at this club and earn a new contract.”
