Vesper

fuck off Badi! thank fuck for Sanchez

if we lose this game we are in serious trouble of not making any euro competition

Wtf!!!!!! This is insanity!! If our buys (and our players in general) keep becoming glassmen at the rate currently happening, it will destroy the club.

Classy move last night by David Luiz

here is every actually WC striker (WC NOW, NOT potentially) out there the list is not long Erling Haaland Kylian Mbappé (if you count him as a CF) Harry Kane Julián Alvarez Ousmane Dembélé Lautaro Martínez Victor Osimhen then Hugo Ekitiké (up for debate) maybe, maybe I will still include Alexander Isak plus the 2 ancient ones (again, up for debate, especially with CR7) Robert Lewandowski (turns 38yo in August 2026) has 14 goals, 5 assists for club and country in the past 4 months, in only around 1500 minutes (he had some injuries) Cristiano Ronaldo (turns 41yo in 13 days) has 22 goals, 3 assists for club and country in the past 4 and a half months

no club on the planet will pay £150m for Palmer at the level he currently is playing to he looks a shell of what he was pre injuries

‘Not good enough’ – Alan Smith says Mikel Arteta should sell ‘struggling’ Arsenal star https://metro.co.uk/2026/01/21/not-good-enough-alan-smith-says-mikel-arteta-sell-struggling-arsenal-star-26431250/ Alan Smith has controversially suggested that Arsenal should consider selling talented young full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer. Lewis-Skelly burst onto the scene last term, breaking out of Arsenal’s youth ranks to establish himself as a genuine first-team star alongside fellow academy product Ethan Nwaneri. The 19-year-old made 39 appearances in all competitions last season, and saw his fine form rewarded with a new, long-term contract to keep him at the club until 2030. Despite that promising breakthrough season, Lewis-Skelly has found regular minutes harder to come by this season, with the teenager falling behind Riccardo Calafiori in the pecking order. Lewis-Skelly has made just one solitary league start so far this campaign, although he did start in the Gunners’ midweek Champions League victory over Inter at San Siro. Despite his lack of game time, Arsenal are said to have rebuffed loan interest from several other Premier League clubs in the January transfer window. But former Gunners striker Smith believes that the club might be wise to cash in on Lewis-Skelly in the summer after seeing the teenager ‘struggle’ in recent starts. ‘He is just not good enough defensively,’ Smith told BestBettingSites.co.uk when asked about Lewis-Skelly. ‘He’s been brought up as a midfielder, and when he’s had 1v1s, he has struggled, for example, when Frimpong was up against him in the Liverpool game, because he’s not the quickest either, and he’s not a natural defender. ‘He’s got three players in front of him who can all defend better. So, looking forward to the summer, I think it might be a case of selling him, for PSR and all that, being a youth team player, it’s pure profit. ‘So, unfortunately, I think he might have to leave the club.’ Lewis-Skelly, meanwhile, said he is keen to stake his claim for more regular minutes after his start against Inter on Tuesday. ‘I think every time I get the chance to start, I see it as an opportunity,’ the teenager told Amazon Prime. ‘Even when I come on, for me, it’s just impacting the game and helping the team out in any way I can. And I’m glad I was able to help out today. ‘All I can do is control the controllables. And every time I get the opportunity to play, as a team, the depth that we have as a squad is really strong. ‘We all have that mentality that when we come in, we’ve got to do the job. I think that’s how we carry ourselves. It’s so special [the spirit in the dressing room], so special. ‘Honestly, this has been amazing [being] part of the team, and just the energy and everything like that, the harmony. It’s really special to be a part of.’ Arsenal return to league action at the weekend as they host Michael Carrick’s Manchester Untied at the Emirates.

no it was not I have eyes I watched it, it was not a foul

if we fail to get top 8, it will be because of that draw with Qarabağ and/or losing to Atalanta

what a grind win is a win, but wow was it ugly

finally

Fuckers have raised the price 5 times now. Started at €50m, then €55m, then €60m, then €65m, now €70m! They can fuck right off.

No, no it was not.

fucking ref shit call, that was no foul

Romano is nothing but a Fichajes fake news shill now: Chelsea are interested in Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior amid growing doubts over his long-term future at the Bernabeu. (Fichajes) Chelsea have discussed a shock €125m move to sign João Neves, one of the best young midfielders in the world. (Fichajes) Remember, after hyping the fake Vini Jr to Chels Fichajes bullshit for weeks, Romano came out and claimed it was all baseless, but NOW, in true gaslighting style, he is back pushing the same dross AGAIN.

Petr Cech: Not One Manager Was Fired Because They Weren’t Good Enough | Chelsea's Winning Mentality Elite athletes who have achieved everything in their sport while building a career alongside; it’s the ambition many sports stars have today. But how do you do it effectively? Petr Cech is a footballing legend, and I don’t use that term lightly. Four Premier League titles, a Champions Leagues, record for the most Premier League clean sheets, and hugely respected as one of the most dedicated and attentive professionals the game has seen. He also has an MBA, is studying for a PhD, runs multiple businesses, and I need two hands to count the number of languages he speaks. The philosophy that has driven this? Win, that’s what it’s all about. If not then what’s the point. As you’ve just heard this is a theme that runs throughout. It also poses the question we wrestle most with on the show which is how to do that consistently and run a great business. I’ll get the apology in early, yes this was very exciting for me (and Harry too). Sitting across the table from someone who has given you some of your greatest memories as a fan is pretty cool, not many other ways I can say it. Just breeze through it. But what I can say is we’ve met few people are impressive or generous with their time who leave you genuinely in awe of but their successes and the processes they’ve adopted to achieve it. I promise you don’t just need to be a Chelea fan to enjoy this. We’re delighted to welcome Petr to the Business of Sport. ---------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:48 Life In And After Football 04:39 Football First Or Life Balance?

Leadership, Standards & Team Culture: How winning environments are built and sustained over time. The role of managers, players and dressing-room standards in elite teams. Why culture collapses when accountability disappears. 3. Setbacks, Injury & Perspective: How a life-threatening head injury changed the way Petr approached football and life. Why fear never disappeared, but how he learned to perform alongside it. The difference between confidence and control at the highest level. 4. From Pitch to Boardroom: Transitioning from player to executive and seeing football from the inside. Why football performance must always come before commercial priorities. How decision-making, incentives and governance shape success off the pitch.
