🤢

At least we're not hyping this one up.

Nice to see the Sporting fans enjoying London without being kettled by stormtroopers.

My girlfriend has been away for a few days, and I've just eaten some leftover roast chicken over the sink for breakfast. 📖 Here are some thoughts on Arteta and Going Again. highburyhangover.substack.com/p/the-scienc...

📖 A little update on what's been happening. highburyhangover.substack.com/p/some-perso...

Can we just do the parade anyway?

After 28 years, sadly my time at Opta has come to an end. Through seven different owners, some good, some bad, I've helped the companies grow the brand from start up to global behemoth and I've been very lucky to have a job that was also my hobby.

Need to get myself banned from Emirates Stadium to preserve my mental health.

Like Arsenal’s evening, this pod improves the longer it goes on. Promise. 😬

Gotta love a late winner!

None of you are going to give a shit about this at the parade.

Meltdown incoming. But going out of the FA Cup is ultimately the best thing that can happen for our chances of winning the Premier League. This team don't have the legs for three competitions. Eyes on the prize.

This is the most important month of the year. Not just because Arsenal could be in position to win a treble but because you help raise money for the Children of Za'atari Camp. @arseblog.com @tim-stillman.bsky.social @clivepafc.bsky.social @poznaninmypants.bsky.social www.justgiving.com/page/avp2026

£180 million spent on agent fees since 2015 - half the cost of Emirates Stadium. The game has gone mad.

Vamos!

You know that moment when it stops being funny laughing at an opposition manager and it quickly feels like bullying. We got there very quickly with Rosenior. Fella doesn’t stand a chance.

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

I'm not letting a bunch of outsiders who haven't been through the ups and downs of the last 22 years dilute my joy. Fuck right off. This is going to be our triumph. For us. Shout from across the road all you like...you're not invited to the party.

Nice to reflect on a relatively stress-free evening. Did accidentally elbow my dad in the head while celebrating the Rice goal...sharing that here as I forgot to mention on the pod.

Football teams don't win the title for the love of rival fans.

I’m looking to rent a flat that overlooks Islington Town Hall - end of May / first week of June. Let me know…

Can I just say, now that we’ve all had a moment to calm down, what an assist by Martinelli for Dowman.

We’re gonna win the league.

And now you're gonna believe us.

One of the great Arsenal days.

TO DARE IS TO D’OH

Arsenal's accounts for 2024-25 were published last week and I was fascinated to see that gate receipts now account for just 22.3% of turnover. The table below shows how reliant the club has been on gate receipts since WW1.

The Unbearables getting another lucky draw. You love to see it. 💅 The way it’s going we might get Grimsby in the Champions League final.

If we wrap up the league early, I think it would be funny to pack White Hart Lane with Arsenal fans for Sp*rs’ last game of the season.

🚨 I’m (in a lot of) back (pain)! Always fun jumping on with @arseblog.com to basically swear at Fabian Hurzeler for an hour.

Genuinely reckon he might go in the next week. Incredible scenes.

I demand that this Arsenal team be labelled 'The Unbearables' once we've wrapped up the title.

Someone put the kettle on. I’d love a cup of Fabian Hurzeler’s tears.

What an absolute load of incredibly lovely shit this side is.

Arsenal’s technical director James Ellis departed abruptly just seven months into the job. ▪️ What did his role entail? ▪️ Why the sudden exit? ▪️ What does it mean moving forward, particularly for the academy? My piece for @theathleticfc.bsky.social 🔴⚪️⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Spoke to Martin today. He was in good spirits. Told me, you, us to enjoy the title race. So there, you've been told.

Here's a 'fun' stat for you... At this stage of the 2003/04 season (ALL competitions), Wenger's Invincibles: 42 games 31 wins 7 draws 4 defeats __ 2025/26 Arsenal side: 44 games 34 wins 7 draws 3 defeats

I think today was the push I needed to finally take out a health insurance policy.

Arsenal are going to win the league and it’s going to be a miserable experience whether you love us or hate us.

Back on main blog cover duty this morning, didn't look like I'd have much to write about until I joined the queue for cup final tickets...

Not a particularly 'out there' prediction, but Igor Tudor isn't making it to the end of the season at Sp*rs.

Now that my heart rate has settled, I'm delighted to bring you a very retro... Eze. Next.
