🚨🎙️ Arsène Wenger picks Declan Rice over Yamal and Mbappé for the Ballon d’Or! 🎤Reporter: Arsène, you have previously spoken against the Ballon d’Or, arguing that football is a team sport. But if you had to choose this year’s winner, who would be your first choice? Arsène Wenger: 🗣️“You know my position. I have never been a big fan of the Ballon d’Or because football is a collective sport. I believe we have become too obsessed with individual recognition when the beauty of this game comes from teamwork. “But if you ask me to choose a winner, my first choice would be Declan Rice. “I know people are talking about Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé, and I respect their quality. But I believe Declan Rice deserves to be part of that conversation. His influence in midfield, his leadership, his consistency and his performances in the Premier League and Champions League should not be overlooked. “Sometimes, we judge players too heavily by goals and assists. A midfielder can control the entire rhythm of a game, protect the defence, create opportunities and make his teammates better without always receiving the same attention. “For me, Declan Rice belongs in the TOP THREE, and if I had to choose one winner, I would choose him.” 🎤Reporter: Would Harry Kane also deserve consideration? Arsène Wenger:🗣️“Absolutely. Harry Kane would be another serious candidate. But if you want my first choice, it is Declan Rice. I would put him ahead of Yamal and Mbappé. “Even though I disagree with the idea of separating one player from the collective, if the award must be given to an individual, then I believe we should look beyond popularity and appreciate the complete contribution a player makes to his team.”

🎙️ REPORTER: Roy, Arsenal beat Everton 2-0, kept a clean sheet, and their fans are celebrating like they’ve just won the Premier League. What’s your take on their performance? ROY KEANE: Honestly? I think people need to calm down a little bit. They beat Everton 2-0. Well done, give them their three points and move on. But the way some of these Arsenal fans carry on after a win, you’d think they’ve just beaten Real Madrid in a Champions League final. It’s Everton, for God’s sake! 🎙️ REPORTER: But Roy, Arsenal have been looking solid defensively. Surely they deserve some credit? ROY KEANE: Credit for what? Doing their jobs? That’s the bare minimum at a football club like Arsenal. They’ve spent an absolute fortune building that squad. They have international players all over the pitch. Are we supposed to give them a standing ovation every time they beat a team they’re expected to beat? 🎙️ REPORTER: Arsenal fans would argue that winning these games consistently is what wins titles. ROY KEANE: Of course it is! Nobody is disputing that. But there’s a difference between winning football matches and proving you’re champions. Arsenal fans seem to confuse the two. Every October, they’re talking about the title. Every time they win a game, the celebrations begin. Then the difficult fixtures arrive, the pressure builds, and suddenly everybody starts making excuses. 🎙️ REPORTER: So you don’t think this Arsenal team has what it takes to win the Premier League? ROY KEANE: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. TALK IS CHEAP. I’ve seen teams play well in October and have absolutely nothing to show for it in May. If Arsenal want to be taken seriously, they need to deliver when it matters. Not just against Everton. Not just when everything is going their way. Show me what happens when they have to go away from home, when they’re under pressure, when their best players aren’t performing, and when the whole country is waiting to see if they bottle it again. 🎙️ REPORTER: That’s a strong accusation, Roy. Arsenal fans will say you’re being harsh. ROY KEANE: Harsh? This is football, not a school sports day where everybody gets a medal for participating! These are professional footballers earning ridiculous amounts of money. Winning is their job. And Arsenal have spent years telling us this is finally their season. At some point, you have to stop talking and actually win something. 🎙️ REPORTER: But surely beating Everton 2-0 is a positive result? ROY KEANE: Nobody said it wasn’t! It’s a good result. Take the three points and go home. But don’t start behaving like you’ve conquered Europe. The way some of their fans celebrate, you’d think the Premier League trophy was already in the Emirates trophy cabinet. 🎙️ REPORTER: Last question, Roy. What’s your message to Arsenal supporters after this win? ROY KEANE: Enjoy the three points. Enjoy your Sunday. Have a nice dinner. Do whatever you want. But please, stop telling everybody you’re champions before you’ve actually won anything. Because when the season ends, nobody remembers how many times you beat Everton in October. They remember who lifted the trophy. And if Arsenal win the Premier League, I’ll be the first to give them credit. But until then? STOP THE NOISE AND WIN SOMETHING!

🚨🎙️ Roberto De Zerbi reveals what he told his Tottenham players before they dismantled Chelsea 2–0: “I told them Chelsea’s attack wasn’t complete, so stop worrying about defending and go after them!” Reporter: Roberto, Tottenham completely outplayed Chelsea. What exactly did you tell your players before the game? Roberto De Zerbi: 🗣️ “I told them, ‘Listen carefully. João Pedro isn’t playing, and that changes Chelsea’s attack. They don’t have their complete attacking options, so why should we spend the entire game being afraid of them? We need to take the initiative, attack them and make their defenders work.’ Same way we will approach a team like arsenal’ “I told my players that Chelsea would struggle to create the same problems without João Pedro. We had to take advantage of that weakness instead of sitting deep and giving them confidence. I wanted us to press high, move the ball quickly and force them to defend. “I also told them not to be intimidated by Chelsea’s reputation or the money they’ve spent. A team can spend hundreds of millions and still have weaknesses. Our job was to identify those weaknesses and punish them. “Then I spoke about the midfield. Henderson has experience, but football is played at a high intensity. I wanted us to move the ball quickly, make him chase the game and expose any spaces that appeared. We weren’t going there to admire Chelsea’s players. We were going there to beat them. “And that’s exactly what happened. We played with confidence, took the game to them and showed that a proper tactical plan can cause problems for even the most expensive squads.” Reporter: Some Chelsea fans will say you’re disrespecting their club. Do you believe Tottenham are a bigger club than Chelsea? Roberto De Zerbi: 🗣️ “Chelsea fans need to stop confusing spending money with being a superior football club. They have invested enormous amounts in players, but that doesn’t mean every opponent should be frightened of them. “Today, Tottenham came here and won 2–0. We didn’t need to spend more than Chelsea to show that we could outplay them. We needed a plan, discipline and players who believed in what they were doing. “If Chelsea want to call themselves a bigger club, that’s their business. But they cannot expect everyone to bow down to them because of their transfer fees. You prove your quality on the pitch, not in the transfer market. “And I’m sure Arsenal fans enjoyed watching Chelsea struggle today. For all the arguments about squad value and ambition, Tottenham showed that Chelsea can be exposed when an opponent has the courage to attack them. “Let Chelsea fans complain if they want. The result is 2–0, and they have to live with it.”

🚨🎙️ Jordan Pickford after Everton’s 2–0 defeat to Arsenal: “If that was the other way around, VAR would have been checking it for 10 minutes! Arsenal get away with a lot at corners!” 🗣️ Jordan Pickford: “Honestly, I’m disappointed with what happened today. Congratulations to Arsenal for winning the game, but let’s not pretend there weren’t incidents that deserve serious questions. “Look at that corner situation. I’m the goalkeeper, I’m trying to get into position and do my job, and I’m being blocked from moving freely. How am I supposed to come out and claim the ball when someone is stopping me from getting to where I need to be? For me, that’s a foul. If a goalkeeper can’t move freely to challenge for the ball, what exactly are the rules? “And the frustrating thing is that these situations keep happening. Attackers crowd the goalkeeper, hold their position, make contact and then everyone acts as if it’s perfectly normal. But imagine if I did the same thing to an Arsenal player in the opposite penalty area. Would the referee be so relaxed about it? “Then you look at the other decisions during the game. There were moments when players went down under contact and wanted free-kicks, and there was the Eberechi Eze incident where he went to ground but no foul was given. The referee had decisions to make throughout the match, and Everton certainly won’t feel every decision went our way. “I’m not saying Arsenal didn’t play well. They had possession, created chances and took their opportunities. But playing well doesn’t mean every decision should go your way, and winning 2–0 doesn’t mean people should stop questioning what happened. Reporter: Do you think Arsenal are getting special treatment from referees? Jordan Pickford: 🗣️ “I’ll let people make up their own minds. What I do know is that when Arsenal score from set pieces, people praise their organisation and physicality. When other teams try the same things, suddenly everyone starts talking about fouls and pushing. “That’s what frustrates me. You cannot have one standard for one team and another standard for everybody else. If blocking a goalkeeper is allowed, then be consistent. If it’s a foul, give the foul. It’s that simple. “Arsenal fans will celebrate because they’ve won, and they’re entitled to that. But don’t tell me there was nothing controversial about this game. Winning the match doesn’t automatically make every decision correct. “Today it’s Everton. Tomorrow it could be another team. All we’re asking for is consistency. If the same thing happened to David Raya, I would like to see whether Arsenal supporters would be telling everyone to stop complaining.”

Hincapie decided to join immediately after this Game Ever since Joining his performance has been top notch and we don’t appreciate him much 🫡

🚨🎙️ MIKEL ARTETA SPEAKS ON BUKAYO SAKA’S AUTOMATIC CAR AND GIVES A WORRYING INJURY UPDATE 🎙️ REPORTER: Mikel, Bukayo Saka has been spotted driving an automatic car. Does that mean he doesn’t know how to change gears? 🗣️ MIKEL ARTETA: “He’s not changing gear? I’m happy he can drive.” 😂 🎙️ REPORTER: Moving on to Saka’s injury, can you give us an update? How serious is the situation? 🗣️ MIKEL ARTETA: “He had another MRI this afternoon because he had quite a lot of fluid in the area, so it was difficult to understand the extent of the injury. “We will know more probably tomorrow. We need a few more scans and opinions from the specialist. “Obviously, when a player has to walk off the pitch, he’s struggling to walk without any pain, and he’s restricted in his movement, they are not good signs.”

The calm before the storm. 😮‍💨 …and then everything changed in 7 seconds Dani Alves😭

Timber needs to be Arrested for this humiliation 😭💀

Define humiliation in football terms

🚨 BREAKING: Arsenal Face Major Concern Over Bukayo Saka Injury Mikel Arteta has delivered a worrying update on Bukayo Saka’s injury, admitting that the situation does not look promising. 🗣️ Arteta: “The situation doesn’t look good at all. The injury is in the anterior thigh muscle.” ❌ The Arsenal star’s condition raises serious concerns, with further updates on his recovery and potential absence awaited.

Forever an Arsenal legend. Happy birthday, Arsene Wenger ❤️

Both of Mikel Arteta’s substitutes recorded goal involvements in Arsenal’s draw against Bayern Munich

🚨🎙️ Mikel Arteta reveals his message to Eberechi Eze before bringing him on against Bayern Munich: REPORTER: “Mikel, what did you say to Eze before sending him onto the pitch?” ARTETA: “I looked at him and said, ‘Eberechi, this is your moment. Bayern Munich are a big club, but don’t let their name intimidate you. Go out there and show them why you’re an Arsenal player.’ We needed someone who could bring something different to the game, someone brave enough to take risks and make things happen. Eze has that ability. He can create a moment out of nothing, and tonight he showed exactly what he is capable of. When he came on and scored, I was delighted, but not surprised. This is the quality he brings to our team. People can talk about Bayern’s history and their European trophies all they want, but football is played on the pitch, not in the history books. You can have six Champions League trophies in your cabinet, but when the whistle blows, you still have to deal with Arsenal.”

🚨Wayne Rooney blasts Arsenal for failing to beat an injury-hit Bayern Munich, questioning Arteta’s defensive tactics. 🎙️ REPORTER: “Wayne, what did you make of Arsenal’s performance against Bayern Munich?” ROONEY: “Honestly, I think Arsenal should be embarrassed. Bayern came into this game without several important players, and Arsenal still couldn’t take full advantage. This is a team people keep telling us can win the Champions League, but where was that ambition tonight? Let’s be honest, if Bayern had their full squad available, Arsenal could have been in serious trouble. You cannot expect to win Europe’s biggest trophy when you struggle to impose yourself against a weakened opponent. And my biggest problem is Mikel Arteta. Everything is about control, positioning and protecting the defence. But where is the aggression? Where is the willingness to go out and destroy the opposition? Arsenal spend so much time making sure they don’t concede that they forget they actually need to score. You cannot win the Champions League by playing scared football, and you cannot convince me you’re Premier League champions material if your first instinct is always to protect yourself. Arsenal fans might not like hearing this, but sometimes their team plays like they’re more afraid of losing than they’re hungry to win. Arteta needs to change that mentality, because defending your way through every big game won’t make you champions of Europe.”

🚨 MIKEL OBI ON ARSENAL FACING BAYERN MUNICH: “MIKEL ARTETA BETTER START PREPARING HIS EXCUSES” 🗣️“Arsenal fans are already talking about winning against Bayern Munich. The same Arsenal fans who think their club is the best team in Europe because they are doing well in the Premier League. Barcelona also had confidence before PSG humbled them. Now you want to tell me Arsenal are different? 😂 Mikel Arteta has been at Arsenal for years, and you people are still telling us to trust the process. Trust what process? If Bayern Munich get hold of this Arsenal team, you will see people blaming the referee, injuries and everything except their manager. After the match, Arteta will come out and say they played well and deserved more. Arsenal fans, enjoy your confidence while it lasts. Bayern Munich are coming, and I don’t want to hear ‘next season’ when they’re done with you.”

🚨 Désiré Doué on the Lamine Yamal Ballon d’Or hype after PSG’s win over Barcelona 🎙️ REPORTER: “Désiré, do you think you were the best player on the pitch against Barcelona tonight?” DOUÉ: “Yes, absolutely. I scored, provided an assist and helped my team win 4–2. I don’t know what else people expect from me. I came here to perform, and I did my job. Tonight, I proved that I can deliver on the biggest stage.” REPORTER: “Do you think Lamine Yamal deserves to win the Ballon d’Or?” DOUÉ: “Yamal? Honestly, before tonight, I wasn’t really paying attention to him like that. People talk about him as if nobody else exists in football. He’s talented, of course, but the Ballon d’Or shouldn’t be awarded based on hype. There are players like Fabián Ruiz who work hard, control games and deliver at the highest level without receiving the same attention. If we’re judging players by what they actually do on the pitch, then we need to look beyond the headlines. You can’t make someone the face of world football before giving everyone else the same respect.”

🚨Patrice Evra on Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich: “Arsenal fans talk about Bayern Munich like they’re going there to teach them how to play football. Have some respect. Bayern have won the Champions League six times. Arsenal have never won it once. That is the difference between a club with European pedigree and a club still trying to prove it belongs at the top table. Arsenal can dominate possession, play beautiful football and look like the best team in the world for 70 minutes. But nobody gives you the trophy for looking good. In Europe, one bad night can expose everything. Arsenal want the respect of Europe’s elite, but they haven’t earned the right to talk like them yet. Beat Bayern, then talk. Until then, the Champions League is still unfinished business for Arsenal.”
