Arsenal manager says players must show character
Iraola hails statement victory after run of draws
Mikel Arteta admitted Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat by Bournemouth was “a big punch in the face” and said his players must show more character if they are going to end their 22-year wait to be crowned Premier League champions.

Jon Bernthal (49) als Frank Kasteel; De Straffer. Die series kwamen wel binnen in 2017 en 2019. Een acteur uit het hoogste segment met friends in low places. Uitstekende, genre-getrouwe geweldschoreo, de helaasheid der dingen verankerd in de kleurtinten en een redemption arc zonder einde. Toen nog paar gastrollen in Daredevil, maar nu lijkt het doek dan toch eindelijk te vallen met One Last Kill te vallen, niet als serie, maar als FILM.
