We have to take the knocks, lift our chins and offer them again and be brave enough to say, if you’re hard enough.
That’s the way it always works.
You take the knocks, then you show how strong you really are.
Show us your chin now Arsenal. Let’s fucking go.
I’m going full blown, Lake District enforced mugabe media lockdown.
See you on the other side guys and gals.
Full head in sand day today
Anyone else going full head in the sand today?
Whilst I doubt there’s sod all I can do. Happy to help ?
Touch of class once again by the club
Top work James
Beautiful @tim-stillman.bsky.social
It’s all in the eye of the beholder and this season we’ve really had to cut our cloth accordingly.
You can’t be a creative force if your creative players are in the treatment room. All you can do is be solid and grind.
If we get through with that, I’m happy.
So sorry for your loss. We lost our boy 5 weeks ago and it still hurts so much.
Those who’ve never had and loved a dog will never know and never understand.
Sending you lots of long-distance support and a good ear scratch to your lovely boy.

This is what the world should be working on. Cures for disease, amazing ways to store our animals.
Not killing each other.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
A brilliant read. 👏
Whaaaat Elon Musk doesn’t pay tax??
With all his billions?
I’m shocked.
My counter to this is that you can’t stop players getting injured in games. Odegaard has had impact injuries all season. That’s not training, that’s playing for us.
I do think we’ve caused ourselves problems in overplaying players, but I do think we need to recall how far we’ve come in 6 years.
Thank god I’m away in the campervan in the lakes this coming weekend.
Cannot bring myself to watch the game. I need to go full head in the sands Sunday, then come up for air and hunker down for the run in.
It all feels so relentless. I’m a certain vintage and I don’t recall it being like this.
Hope you recover soon pal. Sounds horrendous. Keep your chin up as much as you can.
To be fair, that deserves at least a chuckle. Top stuff.
We are so immeasurably different in how we progress and move the ball compared to November.
It feels like the midfield changes we made to unlock Eze e.g. the double pivot simply don’t work for us.
I’d be interested to see the stats around that to see if my gut is right.
Get Ode back and lets go.
No card for this last week. By far a worse offence, could have caused serious damage and they whinged and cried about it being called as a foul so honestly they can get stretched
Yes it could have been a red. It wasnt. Move on. We had to.
Farage hasn’t learnt a thing from the Nathan Gill Russian bribery scandal.
Reform accepting untraceable, anonymous crypto from across the globe is a direct threat to our national security.
He must return the cash or admit he’s happy to let foreign money poison British politics.
A great read and I agree with your assertion that players with greater individuality and creativity would break open a lot of the system we face.
We didnt really have someone who could turn a bad pass into a chance. E.g. Eze who can receive a pass with a man as his back and wriggle away.
Cracker of a game to be fair. A good tonic.
Who knew that you can’t score a goal by kicking the keeper back into her own net?
The evolution of this game astounds me.
Not mine. Bigger trophies on offer. Enjoy.
Fucking hell you’ve won the carabao cup lad.
Well done. Let’s talk again about the 115 charges where your club has broken the league rules?
The league and champions league are what I want.
League is closer than the Champs League but we are good enough.
Kepa gave you the game. Remember that.
💯
But of course, I did say that the whole team needs to look at themselves, not just Kepa.
I don’t agree. If the first goal didn’t go in, I don’t think the second does (or at least neither when they did).
Without the mistake we were defending reasonably well, but I’m not gonna argue that we played well, because we were awful in the second half
We crumbled like a stale biscuit after half time.
Awful. Kepa disasterclass. The whole discourse will be about Raya v Kepa now, but the whole team needs to look at themselves.
Woeful.
Well that was just fucking awful and sums up my personal 2026.
Fuck off Kepa you massive twat. Awful throughout.
Abject performance from half time from the whole team.
We haven’t won anything and might not yet with performances like that. Lacked courage. Lacked ideas. Lacked effort. Game over.
The poor bastard. He thinks it’s unfair.
No Eddie, you massively gambled, overspent your budget, so teams will now pinch your best players because you’re not successful.
Should have stuck with youth with Anderson, Miley and sprinkled experience in.
He slept with the devil and it’s bitten him.
