Bang on. Don't feel anywhere near as doomer as I thought i would after that. Possibly because I watched it in the pub and not at home while scrolling all game

Just need to win 5 and hope it's enough. A terrible place to be considering where we could/should have been, but it feels a more attainable feat than it did before we put in that improved performance.
goal of the season (complimentary) followed up immediately by goal of the season (derogatory)
If you chuck it on 1.5x speed theres still time to listen to the Ødegaard section before kickoff
Lineup is about as good as we could have hoped for. Im feeling... excited?

I'd love to tell you a pod is coming but I cant promise anything. We're gonna try and get something recorded soon though
Problem is all this is true and simultaneously he was dogshit and deserved to come off
A tweet from Max Radwan about Arsenal. It says: Think we’ve seen in the last few weeks why going far in the cups is detrimental if you don’t go all the way. A ball hasn’t been kicked in the title race since we went nine clear and yet the vibes have completely shifted because we’ve gone out of two comps since.
Your friend and mine @maxrads.bsky.social being Absolutely Correct on the other place
As much as this is absolutely true, 0.6xG from just 3 shots tells the story of some very effective counter-attacking
Basically because they fucked it & now everyone hates them and theyre not just going to leave themselves so they pulled the only other lever they had
The club followed up a very promising first half of the season by selling the two best players in Jan, and then an injury crisis left them with 1 fit cb
Players downed tools. Results spiralled Manager pointed fingers at the board. "Sack the board" chants. Manager sacked, sporting director demoted
Injury. Its whatever he did that saw him come off v Leverkusen
NEW: As an Arsenal fan there has been so much waiting. For a league title, yes, but also for a final, for a trip to Wembley, for a trophy with this incredible team.
I won't be taking the League Cup final for granted this weekend: likeanewsletter.substack.com/p/wait-for-it
One thing about my job is it makes me painfully aware that all the pop stars in the world are the same age as me now
This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...
It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.
Of *course* everything's going to shit: we're running roughshod over 6,000+ years of good advice! We've collectively strapped on the wings and waved away Daedalus's warnings about the melting point of wax.
Not just me whos tried and failed to watch the game then
Hopefully fans of rival clubs can take some solace from the fact that we also aren't enjoying a second of this.
In all three we stopped playing at 1-0. And in all three it went badly
It’s beyond insane that the BBC World Service might end in 7 weeks when its funding runs out. A beacon of information, education and UK soft power - Ministers would be crazy not to find money to support it
