Top effort that from the umpires at Lord's. Perfect playing conditions earlier, so makes complete sense to take lunch during that time. Radars indicating rain was coming at 1 but let's start then regardless. Don't worry about the spectators who've spent ridiculous amounts #ENGvNZ

England 140 all out. New Zealand 16-4. Panic on the streets of London. #ENGvNZ

1986 1990: More for the stories/drama rather than the quality of football 2014

My piece on the 1994 European Cup Winners’ Cup, PSG and Parma: www.theguardian.com/football/202... @arsenalfc.bsky.social @arsenal-family.bsky.social #AFC #COYG #Arsenal

Me and my dad (the reason I support Arsenal), celebrating our title win yesterday.

New blog out looking back at how Arsenal beat Parma in the 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup final: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/into... #AFC #COYG Now, back to nursing my hangover....

Just boarding the fun boat with a raging hangover! #COYG #Arsenal

@tuesdayclub.bsky.social What is the opposite of a Mugabe media lockdown? I can’t stop looking at content of us lot celebrating @tayo3000.bsky.social

Second again ole ole

Ha ha. Just seen Pep described as a genius on the BBC website. A genius is a manager and his assistant taking a club in the second division, gaining promotion, winning the championship, plus two League Cups and two European Cups in the space of five years.

43 years ago today - Raddy Antic scores for @lutontown.co.uk to relegate Manchester City: that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/gold... #LTFC #Luton #LutonTown @lutontownfans.com @lutontownfcnews.bsky.social

Every time I look at that Celtic penalty decision it stinks. I've watched it about 20 times and still can't decide if it hits his hand or not. But somehow that referee made his mind up in 20 secs. If you're not sure and you haven't given it, then you can't reverse your decision.

New blog out looking at the transformation of Boreham Wood under Luke Garrard in the last two seasons: that-sports-blog.blogspot.com/2026/05/bore... #NationalLeague

A big fan of the Scottish play-off system, but I have no idea how this works? Maybe the BBC should concentrate on the little things like this rather than 37 articles on whether Arsenal lack bottle/celebrate too much/have a kit that is too red?

Seeing as he loves pointless statistics, here is a fact for Darren Fletcher: I shout “shut up” at least 56 times during any match he commentates on. He’s relentless. Just let the game breathe…

FGGFJGFJJGDTRTJKHH JK DCGFEYG!!!! #COYG

Couldn’t watch that tonight. Disappointing that 115 got a late equaliser but would have taken that before kick off.

Carlisle away. Come on the Wood!

Has to be better than working. At Northampton for the County Championship match against Worcestershire.

This PSG-Bayern match is like Hagler-Hearns #ChampionsLeague #PSGBAY

@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social I'm trying to put my finger on it, but why have we developed into a team that creates so little? A couple of seasons ago we were battering teams and playing great football. Against Newcastle (and many others) we struggled to break them down. #arsecastextra

The fairytale FA Cup final. Those plucky underdogs Chelsea (2003) will play Man C115y (2008) in a match for football romantics everywhere #FACup

Match 2/2 today. A stressful evening at Arsenal.

Match 1/2 today. Boreham Wood v Sutton.

This is surely the worst run of results since Chelsea were formed in 2003.

40 years ago today - Oxford United won the Milk Cup: theguardian.com/football/tha... #OUFC #OxfordUnited

Still gutted about yesterday, but actually thought we deserved a draw. Probably have to win our last five and hope from a slip by C115y. You never know.... #COYG

Devastating news about Alex Manninger. Played such a key role in our 97/98 double. Sung his name with thousands of others at Old Trafford and Upton Park that season. RIP Alex. Wrote a few words about Alex back in 2019: www.onlinegooner.com/articles/vie...

@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social What should we all do in the summer if Arsenal throw away the league and come up short in the Champions League? I can't drink cider on a park bench for the whole summer, but it is tempting.... #arsecastextra

They’ve ruined my whole weekend. I now feel like watching Fever Pitch, eating a whole tub of ice cream, and drinking a lot of rum to numb the pain. Still a lot to play for but it’s hard to feel positive after that #COYG

I was worried about the Southampton match for two weeks after the final. But I didn’t expect a performance quite so mediocre and lacklustre (Dowman excepted). A massive week coming up.

Aldershot away. Come on the Wood!

@arseblog.com Wondered if you might be interested in my blog on the glorious 1987 Littlewoods Cup final? that1980ssportsblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/1987...

@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social What about this as a song for Max Dowman? Ooh baby do you know what that’s worth? Max Dowman is the best on earth He’s only 16, he hates Spurs Max Dowman is the best on earth #arsecastextra

That result probably keeps Tudor in charge for at least another week. Happy days.

The kid is 16 and comes on and turns a match of that importance. Ice in his veins #COYG #Arsenal

Vicario has to get himself sent off for shits and giggles….

I do wonder if my kids will be standing over me on my deathbed when I’m 76 and curse Arsenal for taking 7 years off my life…. #COYG

Oh what a night! #COYG
