Excuse a quick non-Arsenal, non-set pieces aside… LONDONERS: please don’t use wood burners this winter. They’re horrific for air quality & give kids asthma. This is a city, just turn your heating on like a normal person 👍

Arsenal have now won seven matches in a row against Spanish opposition. No team has ever done that before in the Champions League.

MLS is just pure Arsenal

Ahahaha, that’ll be Gabriel’s statue - posing with the corner flag

The leading defensive coach in Europe will be on the touchline at the Emirates tonight. Hint: it's not Diego Simeone. Arsenal have the best defensive record in Europe's major leagues since 2023. This season, they have become even stronger. Here's how: www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

It’s the anniversary of a special goal by a very special talent. David “Rocky” Rocastle. Old Trafford. 1991. What extraordinary ability.

Seeking a spare ticket for Burnley away, if anyone can help.

Tedious to see Europe’s Big 6 dominating the CL again

@orbinho.bsky.social what’s Ange’s personal record v Arsenal after this? It’s drawn one, lost the rest right?

On this occasion I will accept our name being taken in vain

🚨 Eberechi Eze agrees personal terms with Arsenal ahead of completing move from Crystal Palace. Deal in principle already struck for 27yo attacking midfielder to join #AFC after #CPFC vs Fredrikstad in #UECL. Player’s part now finalised too @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/656...

#swimmingwithfootballers Hard to beat Townsend tbh

I once shared a Marriott hotel swimming pool with someone I *think* was Eberechi Eze. More detail to follow if it happens.

Just discovered my wife’s made curry for dinner. This is a good day.

Amorim killed off any chance of getting back into that when he brought on Ugarte. Total gift for us.

Pleased for the Utd fans today - zero points, zero goals after spending over £200m on a new attack… but they got to sing “Same old Arsenal” about three dozen times. Whatever makes you happy ❤️

Disgusting win away at OT? In my veins.

Lovely jubbly

Welcome to Viktor Gyokeres & Martin Zubimendi, the joint 915th players to play a competitive first team game for The Arsenal. thearsenalcollection.org.uk?p=39936

Lovely scoreline but that really wasn’t good enough. I’d change the left flank: MLS to relieve on-a-booking Calafiori & Madueke on for Martinelli. Then probably Havertz on the hour.

Presented without comment.

Here we go again Expectations are rightfully high, but don’t forget to enjoy the ride with all those mates you have made along the way. Anything is possible when we have Number 7 Let’s get it crackin’

Brilliant finish

8pm: Football! Yes! YES! FOOTBALL’S BACK! 9.49pm: I hate football.

My reaction to that goal sent the cat sprinting out of the room in terror

How many deliberate fouls is MacAllister allowed without going into the book?

“Newcastle fans have finally found something objectionable about their owners, specifically the inability to run a successful player recruitment and retention arm” @barneyronay.bsky.social on the new Premier League season. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Playing on people's love for Arsenal to get them to use a crypto trading platform is particularly gross from the club.

Interesting tidbit when researching this piece: from Freedman's first summer fully in charge until his departure, the two clubs with the fewest total arrivals+departures: — Palace — Liverpool aka, the two clubs in the Community Shield. "Don't do dumb shit" *is* a strategy.

Al Jazeera Media Network condemns the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammeel Qraiqea, along with photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal, by Israeli forces. #JournalismIsNotACrime

just seen someone suggest a player is an “early frontrunner” for his club’s player of the year award based upon his pre-season displays. Surely things haven’t always been like this?

On a train, so not watching. Just popping by to show you how this steak was genuinely served up to me in le deep sud de France 🇫🇷 #unpetitpeubleu

This is a very good (and very sexy) point

This pitch looks bad 😳

Crystal Palace want chunk of £67.5m Eze fee up front as Arsenal talks continue

Warning from a Liverpool fan I know. How worried should we be? (Genuine question, I have no idea).

Ordered some high-brow holiday reading material

Repeat after me: Chloe Kelly.

On a different note, does anyone on BlueSky know of a bar in Singapore that might be showing the Women’s European Championship final tomorrow night? It’s a midnight kickoff Singapore time so could finish close to 3am if ET/pens. Any help greatly appreciated!

The 27-year-old will take the No 14 shirt at Arsenal, the number made iconic by the club’s record goalscorer Thierry Henry.

i: UK ready to recognise Palestinian state in peace deal #TomorrowsPapersToday

I’ve read novels that are shorter than this; but if you don’t mind that, or you’re good at skim-reading, it’s very much recommended. I was excited already but even more so now.

Even allowing for a last minute influx, this is a desperately shit attendance for a tour match. I paid 112 Singapore for the back row of the stadium, which seems a lot now.

This ain’t supposed to happen to Italy

Very well worked goal from Italy but Bronze has to go in with a much more full-blooded block IMO. You shouldn’t even have time to think about holding your hands behind your back in that situation.

So it seems Arsenal is about to sign possibly the second best Swedish/Hungarian in their history. Memories!

England “getting a lot of joy down that left hand side”

Well, let's never speak of that shootout again

Hands down, this is the worst penalty shootout I’ve ever seen.

A fitting penalty to end that shootout
