The three teams in the relegation zone were the champions of 1957-58 & 1958-59 (Wolves), 1959-60 (Burnley) and 1960-61 (Tottenham).

Great to see them putting women right at the front of sport …

The PL's economic model is not broken - because there is no "economic model" to be broken, just an uncontrolled mess rife with accounting dodges.

Villa sell a venue which only opened last December, making a 200% profit in the process. The buyer? Villa.

No problem. Which is the problem.

If only there was evidence for the Premier League to use against 115 FC. 🙄

🚨🔴⚪️ Marli Salmon has signed a pre-agreement for first professional contract ​with Arsenal.

It will come into effect when he turns 17 on August 29th, club confirms.

🚨BREAKING: Bukayo Saka set to return for Arsenal within the next week.

"Before Sunday, Odegaard had only been available for about 37 per cent of Arsenal’s league minutes this season yet the captain ranks fourth for chances created from open play. Saka is top, followed by Rice." [Times]

By my records, Arsenal have missed an average of 4.26 senior first team players per match this season.

Havertz has missed the most matches (33), then Odegaard (24), Merino (19), Jesus (19), Dowman (21), Hincapie (15), Saka (12) Calafiori (12), Mosquera (11), White (11), Madueke (11)

No this is all me, after our performance against Abu Dhabi FC I have full belief that we have enough to get this over the line.

Myself and James are going live tonight on the @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social podcast.

Come for a virtual hug if you need it or come for a rant if you need that too. We'll be diving into everything...

8pm on The Same Old Arsenal you tube channel.

Pls share 🙏🏻

I thought Kai was fantastic today and really helped us structure our attack. We looked like Arsenal again.

Full slate of Premier League wage bills from 2024-25 here, and pertinent following yesterday

Arsenal wages up this year but total bill £121m (25%) lower than Man City last season once latter's costs outside #MCFC entity included (note: #MCFC includes lots more admin staff)

Eberechi Eze has scored in just three Premier League matches this season and yet he is Arsenal's joint-second top scorer.

I'm still hoping your lot confirm relegation of the tiny tots.

We were much improved against City. *If* we can replicate that form over our remaining 5 games I believe we can still do it.

It's the hope that kills you lol

Let's see what happens

AN ABSOLUTE HOWLER FROM DONNARUMMA. 😳

Gianluigi Donnarumma takes too long on the ball and Kai Havertz deflects his clearance into the net!

- Trossard hasn’t scored in his last 22 games in all competitions
- Saka has two goals in his last 24 in all competitions
- Martinelli hasn’t scored in his last 23 Premier League games
- Madueke has two goals in 22 Premier League appearances
- Odegaard has one goal in his last 21 PL appearances

I think we stuff them this weekend. We owe them an absolute tonking.

Call me crazy but I think we are still going to win the league.

Abu Dhabi FC will drop points, against Everton and Bournemouth I believe.

Nothing worthwhile is easy.

How the Opta supercomputer sees the title race after Manchester City's win over Arsenal on Sunday🫣

Clears it up a lot.

xG City 1.41 Arsenal 1.53.

Five big chances each, we missed four, they missed three.

Watch Odegaard's reaction at the start of this clip when he tells Martinelli to track O'Reilly and he ignores him

Sky have just simultaneously said that Arsenal's injuries are not an excuse and that's what a squad is for...

...and then seconds later said that City's run-in might depend on the extent of Rodri's injury.

You can't make it up.
