    Let's say you can give an honorary winner's medal to any player that came and went in the previous 22 years, who would you give it to?

    Obviously it is Andre Santos but if not him, then who?

    I'd go with Hector.

    Rewatching some bits from Amazon documentary … I am super happy for Arteta - what a relief that must be. I don’t think there is another person at the club that works harder.

    That's really tough. Diaby, Eduardo, Ramsey, or Wilshere.

    Or Theo.

    I don't think it would fix anything by giving him an honorary medal, but in an alternate universe where we weren't financing the Emirates, and we were trying to win titles, he never would have asked, and we never would have sold Robin Van Persie to United, and he just might be considered a legend instead of a traitor.

    It's not his fault the timing of his career and his ambition didn't align with our top 4 model.

    I may bring out the Santi Cazorla long sleeve, or the Diaby short sleeve. Not sure also got the Rambo short sleeve. Tings a gwan.

    I go to Philly at least once a year for work, and you're not wrong. But college sports in the south is another level of crazy.

    OK, but can Philly say they had zero arrests at the gathering? ;) At least that's what Stillman said.

    I'm a UNC grad so I know but none of us ever felt the need to punch a police horse in '82 or '93 maybe they did in 05, 09 and 17.

    It is AI, or at least spliced an AI Max Dowman into an existing video of an Irish boxer returning to school after winning European Junior Championships or something.

    If I could rep this more than once I would. Thanks for posting.

    Since Weds, I've had a few moments of big smiles and small tears, and watching this was one.

    Mikel was remarkably open, especially for him. BUT...

    He left a little teaser about how he employed music at a critical stage (after Bournemouth loss) to instill belief, to celebrate winning before we actually did. He said they'll share more about that later.
