I think it depends on who stays and comes in. I think Arteta is one of the best managers in world football and we saw these kinds of wobbles in other clubs when they had gone a long period without winning. Look at city when they were trying to win the CL. They kept making mistakes and were nervous.
I would also say that I think we will win the league and the Champions League under Arteta if he stays. It might even be this year.
Net Spend isn't the best metric. Man City have had years to build up a squad while Arsenal under Arteta had to pay off their old squad. Arsenal have had less to spend and that's reflected in the # of players City have brought in players in: 38 more than Arsenal over the last 5 years.
This is a club who were only caught hiding their spending because someone hacked their emails. That aside wage bill is, and has always, been a better guide and they outspent Arsenal just this year by over £70 million (roughly a third of Arsenals total wage bill).
I don't know if you've managed to crowbar in any REQing Ball puns but I think there could be some promise there.
The problem is that they are up against one of the best managers in history and one of the biggest spending clubs ever if not the biggest spending. That doesn't even include the well-documented spending which wasn't on the books.
Under him Arsenal have improved relative to every other top English club. They have broken the record for wins and for goals scored under him. They have got to the semi finals of the Champions League twice in sucessive years for the first time ever thats out of four times total for the club.
Just two straight long legs should be good enough really. We could get rid of ankles too really. Just fold the leg over a bit
Re-posting this after Easter week. A potential research job that might suit an ECR.

It reads just like a Russian government statement tbh
If you have the means I highly recommend the cause of supporting a fellow scholar

There was a good video which did a similar thing by just carrying out normal internet searches of passers by. It was pretty scary because they could work out where they lived and worked quickly. I am increasingly thinking we just need to put as little online as possible.

Nor me, not sure sending selfies to American companies to prove your age seems like a great idea either
Is it a new law that all websites have to follow in the UK? I have had it on other sites as well
Yes it's great that we are actually getting it on free to air now. Same for the all Ireland hurling I watched last weekend. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it and how much I'm looking forward to the all Ireland football final this weekend.
This is a great model. Emily was kind enough to share it with our @vchlondon.bsky.social project and it has been so helpful. It allowed volunteers with no training to accurately transcribe Early Modern records. This would have been so much harder without her help
