Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta gave candid comments expressing his desire to become a devoted Bournemouth fan during their upcoming match against Manchester City, which could decide this season's Premier League championship.

Arsenal is poised to clinch the Premier League title this season following their recent 1-0 home victory over Burnley on May 18, with Kai Havertz scoring in the 36th minute.

Following this result, the Gunners extended their tally to 82 points from 37 matches, maintaining top position and holding a 5-point lead over second-place Manchester City, though City has played one fewer match.

Manchester City are scheduled to visit Bournemouth in a Premier League fixture on May 19. Should City fail to secure victory, Arsenal will clinch the championship immediately.

When asked by reporters if Arteta would support Bournemouth, the manager responded: "I will be the greatest Bournemouth fan that has ever existed."

"For Andoni (Iraola) and every player, including all Bournemouth fans, I think we are all Bournemouth fans because we know what it means if they get a good result," he added.

"When you look at how Burnley played today, the spirit they showed, and the difficulty they created—just imagine Bournemouth doing that," Arteta continued.

The 44-year-old manager also reflected on his team's recent performance, saying: "We knew it would be difficult because of what's at stake. This was another hugely important match. It's one of the best football matches we've played this season. We probably should have scored two or three goals."

At 6:50 a.m. on May 19, 2025, Boonmee Sixnine arrived at Rangsit International Boxing Stadium for medical examination and weigh-in before the Kammchai Day fight. He traveled in a white Isuzu MU-X with his coach from Petchrachaiyim camp, wearing camp attire and bringing his boxer's passport.

Upon arrival, Boonmee encountered Snail Lukpoid for the first time in over three weeks. The two fighters made eye contact and posed for photographers without speaking. Boonmee stated he is 100% ready but acknowledges about 30% nervousness, which he considers a necessary precaution. Over the past three weeks, he has trained at Petchrachaiyim camp, focusing on clinching, elbows, running, and fundamental Muay Thai, while maintaining his weight below 53 kilograms.

Boonmee expressed confidence in his knees and kicks as his primary weapons, with clinching as a strong secondary option. He said he is eager for the fight so he can return to his business and life, as current pressures have impacted his work. His goal is simple: either victory or knockout—defeat is not an option. Regarding legal matters from the previous incident, he will not withdraw charges until after the fight concludes.

Boonmee also mentioned that before the recent Nohkrachase appearance, some teenagers—possibly associates of Snail—circled near his shop trying to provoke him, but he remained composed and waited for fight day. He extended a message to Snail: "Do your best today, and after this fight, we will definitely be friends."

Boonmee passed the medical examination and weigh-in at 52.7 kilograms (117 pounds) with a height of 166 centimeters. He subsequently entered the ring to pay respect to the Muay Thai spirits and walked each corner of the ring before testing out the ring surface with practice movements.

On the talk show Thok Mai Thiang, Tray Scot opened up about his life experiences and family violence issues. Host Tin Chokkamolagit asked about an Instagram story Tray had posted where he tagged his sister-in-law Mind, attempting to arrange multiple meetings before her wedding. When asked why he posted this and why previous communication attempts had failed, Tray explained: "I was just trying to tell her it was dangerous. There's something she didn't know about. I was trying to tell her that."

When asked if he wanted to share the truth about what he experienced, Tray responded: "Yes, I think she should know what she's marrying. What happened to the child isn't something that disappeared - we don't know if it will happen to other children. This is something we need to tell and warn about. I don't think it's fair for a woman to enter a marriage without knowing the real truth about her partner. It's disrespectful to that person's life, so I wanted to reach out and tell her."

Asked if he received a response, Tray said: "Yes, we talked back and forth. It seemed like they wanted it to stay just between siblings and mom, to clear it within the family. But clearing it means covering it up. I tried to clarify with them before the wedding, but nothing came of it. Then I was surprised to get lawsuit documents posted on my house."

When asked if his sister-in-law knew about this before it became news, Tray stated: "I don't know if her husband told her anything about this. I don't know. But she didn't learn about it from me. We didn't get a chance to talk. She only found out when I made the video."

Regarding his sister-in-law's response posting property documents, Tray said: "But posting those documents isn't appropriate because it shifts the focus from family abuse to a property issue. That was never our intention. No property is more important than a child's life and this situation. But I think he probably didn't understand."

Tray expressed sympathy for Mind and hopes she takes care of her mental health during this time. When asked if he wanted justice and if his sister-in-law leaving her husband would be considered justice, Tray clarified: "No, because we see the root cause as being my brother and mother, not my sister-in-law. What she chose to do wasn't our goal. It doesn't fix what happened."

"It's just sad for her and what she has to do. I sympathize with her and want her to take care of her mental health right now. I think what she's gone through isn't easy. I want her to take care of herself. I feel sorry for her too."

Police have arrested a group of Myanmar teenagers accused of attacking a 16-year-old Thai boy in a 10-on-1 assault. The incident occurred on Sukhumvit Road near Chong Lom Temple in Bang Lamung District, Chachoengsao Province, after a social media post describing the attack went viral. Officers from Bang Lamung Police Station, tourist police, and immigration officials apprehended the entire gang for questioning on May 18-19, 2025.

All suspects admitted to participating in the assault. However, one member of the Myanmar group told investigators that Thai youths had first threatened them with a gun-like object to steal a pair of Converse shoes, and that they only intervened to help their friend. He requested that police review CCTV footage from before the incident to verify his claim of self-defense.

Police stated they will conduct a thorough re-examination of both parties' statements and coordinate with relevant agencies, including child welfare professionals since a minor was involved. Both sides will face charges if evidence proves wrongdoing. The 'Thai Won't Tolerate' activist group, which closely followed the case, expressed satisfaction with the swift police response and successful apprehension of all suspects.

DJ Ton Horm has publicly denied allegations that she is the celebrity secretly dating a 17-year-old, following online speculation that led the boy's mother to prepare statutory rape charges. On May 18, Ton Horm Sakunla Tienpairoj spoke at the PD MUT Ubon Ratchathani launch event at Fake Club on Ratchada Soi 4, firmly stating the allegations do not apply to her. She acknowledged that her public image and personality may have made her an easy target for such comparisons, but emphasized two critical legal boundaries she has always maintained: she does not engage with minors, and she does not become a third party in relationships, as both are illegal matters that could result in prosecution.

Regarding the accusation of dating a 17-year-old, Ton Horm stated: "I want to tell everyone here clearly that I would never disappoint in that way, because I have never been with someone that young. When the news came out, I realized my image fit the description so perfectly it seemed like the story was written about me. If you scroll through the comments, you'll see people mentioning a certain female DJ, but that DJ doesn't think about anyone else. That's just how my image is, and it seems very characteristic of me."

She explained that she was not angry at those making the accusations, noting that after reviewing the industry, she couldn't find anyone else with a similar public image or lifestyle that matched the story. "I felt like my image was quite distinctive," she said.

When asked if the news caused her distress, Ton Horm clarified: "There's no shock because I wasn't dating anyone during that time period. Do I reflect on myself? Yes, but definitely not at 17, because I'm aware I'm a celebrity and I can't act recklessly. I have a reputation to maintain and can't leave evidence. So this has never been something I've done."

She reiterated her strict adherence to legal boundaries: "The two things I've always been cautious about are statutory rape and being a third party in a relationship, because these are illegal matters that could result in prosecution. So these are things I've never done."

When asked if she would sue those hinting she was the person involved or if certain comments felt defamatory, Ton Horm mentioned there was one particularly harsh comment that hurt her deeply, but did not specify whether legal action would be taken. She noted that people had begun commenting more frequently that it was her, which is why she felt compelled to post a clarification statement.
