Mikel Arteta Arsenal friendly at Hibs Jul21

Defeat to Hibs (and a pretty horrendous goal conceded) has the Arteta Out brigade back out in force, while Jose Mourinho enjoys a sing-song.

SOCCER: It's back to the domestic stuff and one friendly in, #artetaout is already trending.

SOCCER: Meanwhile, the Marcus Rashford mural continues to inspire.

We live 5 minutes from the @MarcusRashford mural in Withington. We just stopped by on our way home and it’s unspeakably moving and powerful. This is, even partly, who we are. Who we can be pic.twitter.com/DNcAqWRhK1

SOCCER: Seems Erling Haaland has been off his food in the close season.

Borussia Dortmund's Sebastian Kehl on Haaland, to Sky Germany: "There is nothing new on this matter. He is in our plans. Erling will return this week and he will be very hungry. He wants to play football, he feels comfortable with us and he will be eager to score many goals."

SOCCER: The phrase 'It's coming home' should be removed from the English language. It's not funny. It's not ironic. And it certainly shouldn't be used when you've just beaten Bradford Park Avenue in a friendly.

It’s coming home,
It’s coming home.
The Tom Banks Memorial Trophy is coming home!#bcafc #ItsComingHome
