I’m sure World Cup, European Championship, Champions League (x4), La Liga (x8), Copa del Rey (x7), Club World Cup (x3) and Premier League winner Gerard Pique is absolutely gutted that Jamie O’Hara and Jermaine Pennant didn’t rate him.
❌ Pennant: “As a player, I’m not pointing to Gerard Pique as one of the greats.”
👀 O’Hara: “It helps if you have Messi, Puyol, Iniesta and Xavi… he was probably the worst player in that Barca side!”
Jermaine and Jamie don’t think Gerard Pique is a legend of the game.

I’m very excited to share what the Arsenal trio had to say!
Takehiro Tomiyasu made his first start in the Premier League since May 16 today against Liverpool.
He won the most ground duels (7), most aerial duels (4), most tackles (2), had the most ball recoveries (7) and kept Mo Salah quiet until he was substituted.

Really unsure how Tite can look at Gabriel Martinelli this season and not take him to Qatar. Obviously the competition in the Brazil squad is fierce, but he has been one of the best players in the Premier League in 2022-23.

Gabriel Jesus to ESPN: “I believe a lot more in myself and I'm back smiling, having the confidence to play and, because of that, things are working out.”
Erik ten Hag claimed after Man Utd’s loss at Arsenal that they should have had a penalty and that the offside lines were drawn wrong. Both statements were incorrect and it has now been proven that Arsenal wrongfully had an awarded penalty overturned.
Haha. Biblical.

Former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi:
"I didn’t work with Arteta a lot, I only had six months. I was 19, so I was learning every day. I wouldn’t make the same mistakes I did when I was 19. But in football, every day you learn and mistakes are part of football. Mistakes are

Why are Arsenal fans so against the signing of Ferran Torres? Not a world-class player but I think he is more than good enough to be a squad player for us. Shouldn’t cost more than £50m, either.
