“You know the story: in the 1970s, Liam Brady, Frank Stapleton and David O’Leary came to play for the club. All of this conspired to make the club very popular, particularly with the young middle classes in Dublin.” www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

I was walking around a small town in the west of Ireland last night when I saw this house. I stopped and talked to the owner. I asked how she came to support Arsenal and turns out that she used to work in the Gunners Bar.

SCENES AY FULL TIME AT SOBHA! 🏆🏆🏆

@secondcaptains.bsky.social Gunnersaurus is there to welcome the team

At half time in the game, I went for a walk on the beach. Got home right at the final whistle. The heart couldn’t handle it. COYG

That was fun

Emi, what’s the score? (c/o @darraghdor.bsky.social)

Have to say that we showed up at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Company this morning and rocked the place. Tables and bar were full well before kickoff and people just kept coming in. Much love to the great folks who keep that place running, and we’ll do it all again next Saturday!

Euro nights in Dublin last night. Good show from St Pat’s in the second half. Part of the reason I prefer League of Ireland to PL these days is the lack of VAR. Our one goal last night was held up for three minutes by VAR. Crowd sang F VAR the whole time. Hope it never darkens the game here.

STAY HUMBLE

Massive win! Amidst the righteous anger at the red, it’s worth noting that Calafiori scored because he took a shot when many of our other players would have kept possession. Shoot more. Score more. Control FC. F Oliver. COYG
