Diehard Gooners in our house, but honestly babe, where has this come from?

No, I like to wind people up in the house, obviously Arsenal fans.”And yeah, I like to just highlight certain things that Arsenal players do that annoy me. Former Arsenal star Fabian Caballero passes away aged 46″For example, when defenders defend, and they laugh and giggle and it’s like, ‘Yes, we did our job!’ But it’s like, ‘You didn’t do your job because you ended up drawing the game.'”Alisha was then asked if Troy has softened his position on Arsenal.She said: “At times. I feel like every now and again you’ll let out a little comment and I’ll go, ‘OK, maybe the ‘cojones’ thing. We’re out of the woods with that.’ “But I think he’s always been a secret Arsenal fan.”I feel like when you’re married to someone like Troy, you kind of give or take whatever comes out of his mouth.”Deeney then quickly snapped: “Babe, honestly, get off the phone now.”READ MORE SUN STORIESBefore turning to co-hosts Sam Matterface and Alex Crook – who were loving the interaction – and said: “What you don’t understand is, this is going to be a long discussion.”I have a two-and-a-half hour drive home, I promise you we’ll be speaking for at least three.”Arsenal ratings vs Man CityTEN-MAN Arsenal came desperately close to beating Man City.Unfortunately for Mikel Arteta’s men, John Stones popped up in the 98th minute to score an equaliser with the match ending 2-2.Here’s how the players rated…DAVID RAYA – 9Well beaten for Haaland’s opener but continued his impressive start to the season with some super second half stops – notably from Haaland and Gvardiol. RICARDO CALAFIORI – 8A full debut the Italian won’t forget. Didn’t get close enough to Savinho for the opening goal but made amends with his stunning long range curler to level it.GABRIEL – 9Planted one header over but made no mistake with his second one just before the break to score for the second straight weekend.WILLIAM SALIBA – 8Clattered by Haaland early on and lost the Norwegian for City’s goal – but dusted himself down and led the rearguard action for the visitors superbly.JURRIEN TIMBER – 8Asked to play an unfamiliar role on the right but did a great job for his boss keeping the livewire Doku quiet – and did fine when Pep changed it around too.GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 7Caused Walker plenty of problems in the first half. Played the ball back for Calafiori to score and teed up another great chance for Trossard.DECLAN RICE – 7Helped Arsenal work their way back into the game after early onslaught – and protected the back four so well when City were camped on the edge of the box.THOMAS PARTEY – 7Quick thinking from free-kick led to equaliser – also involved in the collision with Rodri that changed the course of the game.BUKAYO SAKA – 6Always a threat with his corners – not least when Arsenal got their second. Subbed at the break to make way for an extra defender.LEANDRO TROSSARD – 4Steered good chance over. Booked for pulling back Savinho then a second yellow for barge on Silva and then delaying the restart. Stupid from the Belgian.  KAI HAVERTZ – 7Early collision with Rodri and caused a few problems in the first half but then had to focus on helping his 10 man team out defensively.SUBSWHITE – 7(For Saka 46) – Thrown on to shore up the defence at the break – and did exactly that.KIWIOR – 6(For Calafiori 74 )– Gave the Italian a rest for the final few minutes and kept it tight.JESUS – 6(For Martinelli 87) – Some good pressing against his old team in the closing minutesLEWIS SKELLY – 6(For Timber 90) – Good experience for the youngster but was bizarrely booked before even coming on for his debut.Click here to read more on Arsenal.

    Who is Fabian Caballero’s wife Tahiana? What we know about the late Arsenal and Dundee striker’s widow

    FABIAN Caballero, a talented striker who made his mark at clubs like Arsenal and Dundee, captured hearts both on and off the pitch. Tragically, after his recent passing, many are left wondering about his life and legacy, particularly the role of his wife, Tahiana Alvarado, in his journey.Fabian Caballero died at the age of 46Credit: RexTahiana Alvarado was married to Fabian CaballeroCredit: FacebookFabian Caballero, a retired Argentine footballer, was married to Tahiana Alvarado, a Paraguayan woman who is largely known through her relationship with him. Their marriage has been a key aspect of his life, with Tahiana’s support playing a significant role during his career and personal journey. Fabian’s football journey began in Argentina, where his talent was recognised early on.Fabian’s time with ArsenalOn October 29, 1998, Fabian Caballero was loaned to Arsenal from Cerro Porteño for the remainder of the 1998–99 Premier League season, with the option for a permanent transfer. Although he primarily featured for Arsenal’s reserve team, where he scored 8 goals in 16 matches, he made three appearances for the first team, including his Premier League debut against Middlesbrough and an assist in an FA Cup win over Preston North End.However, his time with the London club was cut short by injuries that hampered his ability to make a lasting impact on the team.Move to Dundee F.C.Despite the setback, his career continued, and in 2000 he made a move to Dundee F.C. in Scotland.His time in Dundee was notable, as it marked a period where he contributed significantly to the team’s success, winning the Scottish League Cup and becoming a fan favourite.During his time in Dundee, he and Tahiana welcomed their daughter, Tahira.The couple have a daughter togetherCredit: FacebookIn a 2018 interview with The Scotsman, Caballero expressed his pride in his daughter’s Scottish identity: “My daughter is Scottish.”She is Dundonian! She is 14 now. “She was very happy in Dundee. “When anyone asks her ‘Are you Paraguayan?’ she says: ‘No I am not, I am Scottish.’ “Maybe she will come back in the future, to university or something.”Fabian Caballero’s career may have seen him move across continents, but his family has strong connections to both Paraguay and Scotland.Changing his nationalityAt one point, Fabian seriously considered changing his nationality to play for Paraguay, the home country of his wife. He realised that his chances of being called up for the Argentina national team were slim due to the fierce competition and high level of talent within the Argentine squad.This possibility of representing Paraguay seemed like a logical step, given his personal connection to the country through his wife. Reflecting on the situation, he said: “It didn’t happen in the end – my representative did not do anything about it.” More
