Football lends voice to message worth relaying: men should talk about their pain | Barney Ronay

Premier League’s link-up with the Together Against Suicide campaign is dispersing simple, blunt and essential messaging If you watched US television adverts during the World Cup for any length of time one thing just kept leaping out. I’ve mentioned this before here , but it still seems both jarring and significant.

The trio giving Arsenal a presence – Gabriel Maghalhães, Declan Rice and William Saliba – are all defensive minded. Arsenal won the league but their forwards are not regarded as elite. Injuries played a part, denying Martin Ødegaard, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka fluency, but Mikel Arteta’s side were not loved by neutrals. There was respect rather than admiration for their defensive rigour. There was an argument that a lack of ambition after going 1-0 up stopped Arsenal from beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Continue reading...
