Arsenal made key signings for the "here and now". That doesn't quite make it "now or never", but the time has never been better
The question is whether they've done enough for those final steps

Interview with Mikel Arteta.
In conversation it's easy to see how he connects with his players.
He thinks so much about how to continually evolve, adapt and make things better - himself, the game, each player. The responsibility of transformation drives him.

Morning Star newspaper page with the headline "At the Berniebeu football embraces its socialist spirit."
Banner at the USL League Two final between Vermont Green and Ballard FC in Burlington, Vermont, featuring an image of Bernie Sanders and the words "Welcome to the Berniebeu". A play on words on Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium.
Vermont Green FC attracted the attention of the football world thanks to their club ethos, recent success, and a Bernie Sanders tifo. This weekend's Morning Star column.
