UEFA have opened an investigation into allegations that Barcelona paid £6.5m to a senior former referee over 17 years. Barcelona COULD face a Champions League ban.
I wonder what final took place 17 years ago 😢
Gary Neville: "Manchester United have been poor today but I still think it's shocking that it took Ben White 69 games to score his first goal for Arsenal."
Spurs fan: "You Arsenal lot are so cringe! We were two-nil down to Bournemouth earlier in the season and came back"!

: "All I can hear is, ‘waaa waaa!’ Lovely speaking to you, enjoy your miserable season."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Throwback to Robin van Persie getting sent off for kicking the ball 0.7 seconds after the referee whistled for offside. Never ever feel sorry for Barcelona.

Xavi: "I understand that everyone wants to win, but I told Arteta that it looked like a Champions League match. The intensity that they put was too high."

: "My son is the No 1 fan. I’m not even sure it is because I played for Arsenal, but he is crazy about them and he keeps telling me that one day he will play for Arsenal. When Arsenal lose a game he cries. Last season when they lost to Spurs and missed out on…
Anyone remember Gary Neville kissing Paul Scholes on the lips as United beat City in 2010, only for Chelsea to win the league that year? Over-celebrating

@GNev2
is critical of the experienced players at Arsenal for not spreading composure in the dressing room
Martin Ødegaard: "Whenever I lead the team out at the Emirates, I have this moment to myself. I want to really feel that atmosphere, that electricity from the fans. I always listen as they play North London Forever over the speakers and I start singing along under my breath.
"I…
Aaron Ramsdale: "My fiance’s brother is a big Arsenal fan so he reminds me quite often what I still need to achieve! But yeah, I think that motivation comes from within as well. Although I don’t necessarily set specific, major goals for myself, I do have the main ambitions of…
Mikel Arteta believes that Michael Olise ticks all the boxes he desires in terms of age, likely cost and resale potential. The winger would provide the perfect backup on the right wing to Bukayo Saka next season as the Arsenal boss looks to bolster his squad ahead of their return…
10 years ago today, Arsenal offered £40,000,001 to Liverpool in order to activate Luis Suárez's £40m release clause. One of the most Arsenal things ever 😭😭😭

Jack Wilshere on which Arsenal players will be future coaches: "Granit especially - will be a top coach. There is no way if you want to be a coach and you are around Mikel and you see him coach, that you wouldn’t want to go and do your badges. There is no way. It is just the way…
Aaron Ramsdale: "I’ll never forget starting my first match in the League Cup, away to West Brom on a Wednesday night, and our fans were up in the corner of the stadium in full voice. I thought, “God, I hope they don’t boo me.”

Martin Ødegaard: "My dad handled everything with the clubs, and there were a lot. We went to Bayern, Dortmund, Man Utd, Liverpool, Madrid, Arsenal too. We got flown around in private planes and made to feel special."

Eduardo on Arsenal: "There have been some superstars who have signed, but I don’t think this is a club built for superstars. The last one was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but that didn’t work out. They don’t rely on one or two players. Everyone can be a game-winner, even if that is…
