Low class journalists, having to repeatedly use 'obviously'.. about as illiterate as Americans who use 'like' every 4th word.

Ever since Rice joined Arsenal from West Ham in 2023 he has evolved coach Mikel Arteta . Once viewed primarily as a dictates tempo carries the ball through midfield and regularly arrives in attacking postions . His ability to cover enormous distances makes him one of England's most valuable players..
Rice missed two days of England training ina row after being struck down by illness . he has been isolated from the group to contain am potential outbreak. That's not good news for England coach Thomas Tuchel Rice is already managing a hamstring and lower back issue.
Rice played 4336: minutes in all competitions for Premier league championship during the most played outfield player for the club. This included 3094 minutes in the league.
For England to stay alive in the tournament., Rice's availablity holds the key...

We know what we, champions of England

Last I heard, Declan Rice was probably not playing due to a stomach bug.
@
Really want to see Dec dominate him and let him know he may wear the band, but it's just a formality. The guys been terrible for 2 seasons in a row and still doesn't get dropped.

I hope FIFA do not neutralise the teams so the winners are at a disadvantage to Argentina.
I think England have the advantage. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏🏼

Decs odegard and saka are all world class players

More convinced of Odegaarde speaking as a Norwegian, than speaking as Arsenal captain. Good interview and clearly shows Ode has grown in self confidence and is enjoying himself at the World Cup. I want to see Arsenal play dominant and attacking football, with Ode stepping up to become clutch like David Silva & De Byrne have done so, when City were at their peak. Now Arsenal have won the league, they have to become more like Pep’s players.
The question is can Arteta evolve and compete with players, who have now achieved, more than he won as a player?
@
The engine of arsenal ❤
@
Bants? Why would you say it like that?
@
Big O up against Rice. They're playing for the Arsenal captaincy.
@
I’d expect Rice to keep him quiet on Saturday
@
It’s coming home lads! Can’t wait for these to legends to be back together on the same pitch!
@
It takes one to know one... or does it?
