The Arsenal #OTD : In 2021 Martin Ødegaard played his first League match for The Arsenal. From 30/01/2021 to 25/01/2026 he has played 169 League matches scoring 32 goals.

Fantastic post & interestingly the article about our fifth ever game refers to the club as both "The Royal Arsenal", adopted in 1887 & "The Arsenal , which wasn't official until the move north, when they dropped Woolwich from the name. I believe the club's official name at the time was "Dial Square"

“I just told the boys after the game that I’m proud of them, and it’s the first step of many. I just told them to keep their head down, keep trusting the process and keep enjoying it because it does go quick.” The experienced senior player, MLS.

FYI Gooners...

Arsenal 3-2 Kairat Bloody hell, they made hard work of that, I know it's a team that doesn't play together often & you could see there was disconnect, but keep it simple & play it into red. I don't think we were helped by their players having banana skins for boots, but shouda been more comfortable

Wonder if Reform UK’s Matt Goodwin remembers this.

Hi Suella Braverman, when are you going to call a by-election now you’ve defected? Your new leader Nigel Farage calls those that don’t “dishonourable members”.

Sad times 😞

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.

Arsenal's last three games: Goals scored 2 Expected Goals 3.9 Shots on target allowed 3 Goals conceded 3 Expected Goals Against 1.4 Two points from a possible nine.

I don't know how we managed to lose that, but we need to make sure it's our last loss of the season!

Private equity bids £1.5bn to buy Spire, which runs nearly 40 of the UK's biggest private hospitals. Attraction - Govt handing more of the NHS to private sector, higher prices, higher profits. PE builds monopolistic control. Public money will buy less.

#Newsnight Never forget, these people began by criticising Keir Starmer for getting free Arsenal tickets, but there's near radio silence over Nigel Farage breaching MPs' code of conduct 17 times, failing to declare £380,000 on time. Epic black propaganda. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

All this talk of about the importance of club DNA. If Arteta does go on to win the title this year he will be the first manager with a prior association to his club to win the English title since George Graham in 1991

Every ill advised social media post in the middle of the night, every off the cuff tirade by IQ47 should illicit this kind of response. Danish pension fund to sell $100 million in U.S. Treasurys share.google/aAowr0v7OXkf...

When the council elections come round in May ask yourself, who was it that last time told you they would cut taxes and then promptly raised taxes and cut services? That would be Reform UK then.

Credit @sophiep25397.bsky.social on Twitter Farage lied when he said he was too ill to appear for the BBC interview on Sunday. The Heartland Institute, whose party he attended instead, doesn't believe in tobacco harms, climate change and seeks the dismantling of the NHS. Be warned. If you care

You could’ve fooled us…

100% this! If teams put 10 or 11 men behind the ball to shut off all space for attackers in the final third, you will always end up with a low scoring match...unless of course you can score, ahem, multiple set-piece goals in the game!

Hilarious, Gazzetta Della Sport slating Mosquera and rating his performance as only 5.5. I thought he slotted in seamlessly last night and looked pretty solid until he came off. The only reason I wanted Big Gabi on was for his organisation, they both have presence!

On the subject of World Cup boycotts, this is a story which ought to be much better known: why African countries decided not to compete for a place at the 1966 tournament. One of Fifa's most shameful moments, which hardly ever gets a mention. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-a...

The Arsenal #OTD : In 2006 Abou Diaby played his first League match for The Arsenal. From 21/01/2006 to 11/05/2014 he played 124 League matches scoring 14 goals.

Arsenal 3 - 1 Inter I hope the players are starting to realise they are amongst the very best in the world, tonight should be a massive shot in the arm for them!

Some level-headed reassurance from Scott...

Arsenal drew 0-0 away at Nottingham Forest and that's ended up being the best result of any of the top four this weekend! Football eh?

I've noticed a few people saying this and I believe the UK also holds a substantial amount of bonds, so other NATO countries could easily collapse the US economy and destroy any attempt to fund their military...or anything else for that matter!

The homicide rate for under-25s is now 3x lower than it was when I set up the VRU in 2019, and hospital admissions of young people for knife assault have almost halved in the same period. London is safer thanks to the prevention work of @london-vru.bsky.social.

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests,

There it is. Farage and Reform would end our NHS. Millions of people could not afford to be ill under a Reform government.

This popped up on my feed and made me wonder if our captain's Great, Great Grandfather was a famous painter? I wonder if it is, if any other Arsenal players have famous forebears in their family trees? 🤔🤭

Arsenal have only played Wigan once before in the FA Cup and that was in the 2014 semi-final. They went on to win the trophy that season. The omens are looking good.

Unusual, but interesting stat...I wonder if it leads to a reduction in injuries over the full campaign?

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Neville’s reaction to the Martinelli incident is a classic case of being immersed in the online rage machine for too long and losing sight of how normal people actually think and communicate. He’s fully lost to the clickbait, troll-culture of social media.

"BRITAIN’S biggest police forces have hired tens of thousands of officers and staff without checking their employment records." [Mail] This is how David Carrick was hired. He is now serving 37 life sentences for attacks on 14 women. This isn't their front page, their front page is about cannabis

"If we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. And we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.” What level was Trump actually educated to? I have never known anyone say so many incompetent, embarrassing things without ever getting embarrassed

I'm about 30 years out of practice, but it was a great game and I'm sure this will be a great tournament!

Five games ago, Arsenal went in to the Everton match second in the league a point behind City. They're now six points clear of the chasing pack. In that time they have taken 13 points from five PL games where last season they took just four from the equivalent fixtures.
