£14.95 to watch a game on pay per view is disgraceful. £5, ok, but £14.95? It's disgusting. At a time when PL clubs spent £1.2bn on players. When they'll give agents £200m. When so many families are struggling. The creed of greed is in @premierleague DNA but this truly stinks.

If Marcus Rashford did just “stick to football”, as some small-minded people currently tell him, then there would be countless kids in this country going hungry. Rashford’s an exceptional footballer, dedicated to his profession, and also a 22-year-old with a social conscience. 🙌

At the risk of re-opening a cold case and re-refereeing re-refereeing, if that first Akanji challenge/caress on Alisson is a foul, then Joelinton’s unpunished 2-handed push on Gabriel was even more of a foul. Consistency? Arteta’s choice of words was wrong but his argument right.

For the sake of the residual competitive balance of the Premier League, the 20 clubs need to throw out the five subs rule today. It weakens those clubs with less depth to squads and disrupts game's flow. (Original reason was right, protecting players immediately post-lockdown).

Arsenal. Back Arteta. Build around Smith Rowe, superb v #cfc tonight, and Saka, Tierney, Partey, Martinelli. Strengthen in the summer, shed the likes of Willian, Bellerin, Guendouzi, Torreira, Kolasinac. Kroenke, see the path ahead, accelerate the process, rebuild. #afc #CHEARS
