Arsenal fans thinking it's the higher ups who are stopping Ozil playing are deluded - are you trying to tell me that if Arteta really wanted to play Mesut that the board would stop him? If there's one thing we're discovering about Mikel is he's a tough man.

Just show Gary that 'just sticking to football' is utter bollocks. You keep doing what you do - I for one appreciate it. ๐๐พ
@GaryLineker
He dived plain and simple. Does it all the time and gets away with it because he's English. If he was a foreign striker he'd be getting hammered.
So I told Wrighty that there was a new banner in the northbank for him. He replied "I'm moved". This is how a legend should be treated. So

Morning Tweeps. Absolutely devastated to learn of the passing of the great Kevin Campbell -
@1kevincampbell
- not just an Arsenal legend but a wonderful man. You will be missed. R.I.P. ๐ช
First time I've EVER worked with Huw Edwards and I can honestly say that as well as being a total pro at his job he's a thoroughly lovely man. Would work with him again in a heartbeat.
Wearing my
@Arsenal
hat for just a minute - I'm loving the look of Torreira and really hope we can get his transfer over the line. He may be small but he's tough as f*ck - the kind of defensive midfielder we've needed for years!

I've lost count of the amount of times I've been followed around a shop by a security guard. As the only black person in the shop I know this is the reason why. Sometimes I get angry and call them out on it other times I'm just too tired to do so and just leave the store. Sigh.
@GaryLineker
The thing is Gary those clubs (sadly including my own) looked at this year of football without fans and thought 'it still works' - that's the saddest thing about this decision.
I've just seen Laurence Fox's Tweet about the players taking the knee and it made me think two things: 1) How the hell did Billie Piper stay married to him for so long and 2) His family must be SO embarrassed by him.
Morning Tweeps. So 9 years on from Poland I finally got a new picture with the legend who is
@OfficialVieira
. He's just as lovely as I remembered and I will be grilling him about everything Arsenal throughout the tournament.
Morning Tweeps. So last night I found out that my 70-year-old uncle has coronavirus. He suffers from asthma so has been in hospital since Thursday, his kidneys are also failing. He's now in a stable condition. So for you fuckers who think it's ok to go to pubs etc- JUST DON'T! ๐ข
One of the saddest things about working in telly is finding out that people you thought were lovely and funny on screen are absolute w*nkers off it. I've just discovered a new one.
How it started.
How it is now.
I met Ian Wright for the first time in my 20s many years ago as a starstruck
@Arsenal
fan. Little did I know that years later the Arsenal legend would become a good friend. Happy birthday
@IanWright0
- love you lots. Have a wonderful day. ๐๐ฅฐ๐
Honestly part of me wishes that all the black players would refuse to play for England until the racist abuse stops - let's see if England would even qualify for another tournament.
Makes me laugh that people like this support Arsenal - does she not realise that if the likes of Saka's parents weren't allowed into this country he wouldn't be playing for us now. Vile human being!
Does anyone else sense civil unrest coming?
Thereโs only so many 3rd world inbreeds you can let in & see them given everything for them to take advantage of before the British public take matters into their own hands.
They are running riot & we are sick of it!!
Fuck โem off!!!
Let's show these social media companies how bad this has got, it's ridiculous!!! So easy for them!! If you or a black friend has had online racist abuse then please post a tweet with the hashtags
#NoConsequences
and
#BlackLivesMatter
I'm utterly fed up of racists being able to post whatever the feck they want because they have a massive following on Twitter. Look how long it took to shut down Katie Hopkins - Twitter need to act quicker with these vile people.
There are some Gooners moaning about the fact that Arsenal fans were celebrating Liverpool's loss yesterday. So what if we were? We don't have anything to celebrate this season so why not celebrate something that keeps
@Arsenal
unique? I just don't get it. ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
I have friends from every race, religion and sex. I tell my white friends to ask me ANYTHING, even if they feel uncomfortable doing so. I say ask me because how else are you going to learn or know. I'd rather you ask than not.
โThey donโt want to stand on the side, they want to make people know, โthatโs wrong, weโre going to change itโ'

It days like this when you realise not all Gooners think the way you do - already seen tweets from some I follow who think the Home Secretary's legislation is a good thing. Of course I unfollowed them...

. Have fun and keep warm out in Russia. Mwah! ๐ P.S. I'd actually forgotten what you look like without the facial hair!
You couldn't pay me David Beckham's ยฃ150 million to EVER go back and if Saudi Arabia bid for 2030 then if ITV still want me 2026 will be my last World Cup. I've written this because I think people need to know what it was like being a working woman in Qatar.
Rant over.
Verstappen's World Championship will always be tainted because he got help from the FIA. Until he wins another no-one, apart from Max, Horner and Red Bull, will ever take it seriously.

The last time I saw Roy Keane I told him to watch Ted Lasso and to tell me what he thought of Roy Kent. He's watched it now and he said "Can I get royalties for that character". ๐๐๐

Honestly, it's as if because you're an elite athlete you're not human and don't suffer the same issues as us mere mortals. Beggars belief. ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ

@gunnerblog
are disappointed in our current state but rather than sounding like they hate us, like some other pods do, they give constructive criticism.
Seriously why are Arsenal fans booing Kieron Gibbs? WTF has he done? He wasn't up to the job at Arsenal but at least he left with dignity unlike Theo who still pockets his 100 grand a week for doing nowt on the bench.
#WBAARS
Hugely powerful campaign, which I applaud as Home Secretary, but also as an Arsenal fan.
Community initiatives like these, alongside work of govt and police, will help to reduce knife crime.
Great to see that some of the charities the Home Office backs will receive the shirts.
@GaryLineker
So many English fans wanted him to fail, I knew he wouldn't. Gutted he didn't come to us, I know Pep in charge of this current Arsenal team would be challenging for the title, guaranteed.
Morning Tweeps.
As I enter my 50th year on this planet my first thought was 'thank god I've made it this far, especially after the last two years where many haven't'.
