Give me Manchester City

I cannot believe this at all. Real Madrid just pulled off another smart one nabbing Cucurella from Chelsea and honestly its a great move for them. The guys been one of the most reliable left backs around lately with all that nonstop pressing overlapping runs and solid defending. Hes finally hitting his stride and Mourinho gets a proper fighter who never gives up on a ball and brings real width. Perfect squad addition for Madrid experienced versatile and ready to slot straight in without much fuss. Chelsea on the other hand just gave away a solid proven starter for what feels like next to nothing in todays crazy market. Another decent player out the door more rebuilding headaches ahead. Fair play to Florentino but Chelsea fans have every right to be pissed. Except Chelsea are buying nuno mendes from Psg then i actually don't know what they are doing.

It seems this guy is really a baller with all the clubs lining up for him now. x.com/SkySportsPL/status/206…

Brazil are slowly getting their rhythm in this World Cup opener against Morocco. After a shaky start and going 0-1 down they have grown into the game and equalized at 1-1 through Vinicius. You can see the confidence coming back now. Midfield is improving so far

That is a good goal from Ismael Saibari as he puts Morocco 1-0 up against Brazil. The in form PSV star with a clinical finish from outside the box. This youngster is showing exactly why Morocco are dangerous. Vinicius and company need to step up now. There is something not clicking in the Brazilian midfield that they need to sort out as soon as possible.

Achraf Hakimi for Morocco is pushing forward as expected while staying solid at the back. Morocco are pressing well and not giving Brazil easy chances so far.

This might not be a popular take in some quarters but look, skill-wise, Rashford is still a serious player. On loan at Barcelona, i think he made around 23 goal contributions despite not always starting. He's has that directness, the ability to cut inside or stretch defences, and moments of real quality that can unlock games. He's proven it at the highest level for years. But Barcelona, like a lot of clubs chasing long-term projects, seem hesitant to commit permanently to a player who's turning 29 soon. They can spend big on younger profiles like Anthony Gordon (reportedly €70-80m range) 25 years old. Rashford brings immediate quality, but his age is what i personally feel is the reason why they don't want to commit. I'd definitely love to see him as a left-wing option for Arsenal if the right established names aren't available . Hear me out. Our squad is built on intensity and depth, and Rashford knows the Premier League inside out. He can play that inverted left role, and has the experience to step up in big moments. If we're looking for someone who can rotate, challenge for starts, and add proven end product without a massive rebuild, he fits. He's shown he can still deliver at a high level. Imagine him under Arteta with proper structure around him. I think this will be a smart business for squad building, especially if wages are reasonable though.

I won't say i have been following him that much but i have seen him face opponents that i liked on multiple occasions but never seems to cross the line. For years the biggest stages seemed determined to send him home with nothing but lessons. He ran into the giants of the sport and they broke his heart over and over again. There was that US Open final against Dominic Thiem where he was two sets up and somehow let it slip. It felt like the kind of loss that leaves a scar. There was the night in New York when Novak Djokovic outlasted him in a five set thriller that took absolutely everything out of both of them. And of course Roland Garros itself had already been so cruel. He was pushing Rafael Nadal to the limit on that red dirt, playing the kind of tennis that makes you believe, when his ankle gave out in the most horrifying way. It looked like his whole career might be over right there on the court he loved most. Imagine the doubts this guy would have had all those years thinking to himself that he was probably not good enough or never going to win a slam. Today at Roland Garros the wait is finally over. Alexander Zverev is a Grand Slam champion. What a journey. This one feels so earned. Huge congratulations Sasha. You absolute legend. Tennis really needed this.

If people are nor bias then they know who the current best goalkeeper is and it would not even be a debate at all. It does not need any narrative and it's clear for everybody to see.

Despite Florentino Pérez denying Olise’s name live, it still looks like the Real Madrid president has his eyes firmly on the Bayern Munich star. €150m bid incoming? In my opinion what Madrid have really lacked is defensive solidity which they are now sorting out with Konate and Dumfries. If the Olise deal goes through, they’ll be a much stronger squad next season with that defense and attack.

Arsenal players absolutely deserve to dominate this PFA POTY shortlist after winning the league. Massive respect to the whole squad, especially the backline. But my vote? David Raya. For me it's Raya and Gabriel. 19 clean sheets, 26 GA in 37 games, third straight Golden Glove. The most reliable gpal keeper in the league and a massive reason we finally got over the line. You can't fluke 3rd straight golden glove, i know people might say the defence helped but there are many moments he saved Arsenal all by himself.

This award should go to Kroupi, he has had a very good season and done well. A good shout is O'reily as well.

📲 Declan Rice on instagram: “An absolutely incredible couple of weeks celebrating bringing the Premier League back to North London after 22 years. “As I said when I joined this great club, my dream is to win trophies here. This is the first of hopefully many more. “We have a really special group of players and a manager that has absolutely transformed this team. It's a privilege to be part of it. “Thank you to the fans for all the support not only this season but since | joined. You've welcomed me with open arms from Day One! “Now, full focus on the World Cup and I look forward to seeing you all next season. Enjoy the Summer.”

Zero analysis, just talk. I honestly wish this can end before the next season. Do a real analysis and make your point, we will agree or debate.

Not gonna happen for Liverpool

This is another media spin. Now I’m not against holding officials accountable, but I’m really struggling with this new ‘corrected table’ trend. It’s hard not to notice that this level of scrutiny has only ramped up since Arsenal became real contenders and then eventually champions. I don’t remember this kind of analysis done when City or Liverpool were dominating(Happy to be corrected). Every title winning team gets "lucky" breaks where certain decisions favour them though some more than others but that’s just football. When clubs like City win, the story is always about genius and mentality. When Arsenal seem to have a little bit of success, every decision needs an audit. If this is how football journalism is going to work, keep that same energy for every club every year. Otherwise, it’s just a one-sided narrative building.

They both won it a year later.

Steven Gerrard: “I look across the Arsenal squad, I don’t see much ego. I see a young hungry manager. You can’t let this setback take anything away from becoming Premier League champions. They deserve a lot of plaudits.” ❤️👏

Why do i not feel sad about this match? I think the boys gave their all in this game. Welldone Arsenal!

GOAL!!!!!! ARSENAL!!!!!! LET'S GO!!!!
