Anyone still doubting Alvarez would fit in ?

Julian Alvarez is brilliant though. Arsenal in the summer.... I can only dream.

Julian Alvarez with two goals against Spurs? He's a gunner already....

No one is checking their phone harder than Harry Redknapp right now

So who’s next as Spurs manager? The kit man or the tea lady?

Nothing is Spursier than hooking your goalkeeper (who was only starting because your other goalkeeper is shit) after conceding three goals in 16 minutes.

Andrew O’Hagan Β· Stay Classy: Mummy’s Favourite The late queen can be held responsible for much, but nobody could accuse her of seeming to enjoy her role. For the...

A savage, magnificent, virtuosic and unlikely to be surpassed evisceration of "Mummy's Favourite".

The 5 Live phone in is usually an accurate barometer of the mood of the country.
Today's was overwhelming in support of the position adopted by Starmer.

Inter Milan sit 10 points clear at the top of the table in Serie A. They have scored 21 set piece goals with 15 of those coming from corner kicks. Wild how you don’t hear anything about how they’re ruining their league or any of the other nonsense.

About time we did the β€œSaudi boys” (their term, not mine) after a tough and unlucky couple of years. Last minute Gabriel winner - can’t beat it. We also finished off the night with an excellent ruby in Wetherby.

Cheers mate. It’s been a huge amount of fun, despite the motorway miles and the late nights. Favourite aways (my son and I were discussing this) Newcastle and Spurs.

Enjoyed Vale Park in September. Wouldn’t mind it again!

So who do we want Gooners? We could draw
City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Southampton
Port Vale
Leeds
West Ham /Brentford

Anyone but City or Liverpool away please.

Lettuce never forget, Liz TrussπŸ₯¬ was our PM.. sinks in with her post on X that we had a traitor in the top job thanks to the Tory Party

So yes Labour aren’t perfect but Starmer is standing his ground and not being Trump’s puppet like Truss, Sunak or Johnson would have and like Farage would be.. πŸ‘πŸΌ

I love a bit of hindsight.

The last week has been one of Keir Starmer’s best weeks.

I totally support him.

Starmer: β€œPresident Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain’s national interest. That is what I have done, and I stand by it.”

Round of applause for you Starmer

Why would the people of Durham not vote Reform - what's not to like about increasing council tax, cutting Β£12.9m from services, having a Deputy Leader who posts AI lies or a Leader who ran two companies that went bust owing more than Β£500k in tax?

101 goals this season. The only two teams to score more are Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Boring, boring Arsenal.

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being β€œan irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

Like taking tips on healthy eating from Mr Creosote.
Thank God Starmer is PM not the tousled tosser, Johnson.

From the Gunners community on Reddit: [Stuart James, The Athletic] How long do goalkeepers take to release the ball Explore this post and more from the Gunners community

Brighton's keeper takes almost twice as long to release the ball as David Raya, who releases the ball faster than every keeper in the Premier League except one

Congratulations to Martin Samuel. He has been sportswashed.

They rely on the simple-minded to place tribalism above morality. To react emotionally and hate Arsenal rather than think rationally to realize laundering human rights abuses and cheating will always be worse than anything Arsenal do.
