An interview with Marco Rose, the new Bournemouth head coach. On the task of succeeding Andoni Iraola and the challenge of taking over a club already at an historic high. Free to read, for @TheAthleticFC. www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...

Hincaaaaapie, get yer bum out

Just got home. Walked all the way from Highbury Fields across Blackfriars and it was all Arsenal all the way down. One of the most special things I’ve ever been part of. Love you all

Never ever seen anything like that in 30 years of life

That's football. Shit happens. Gabriel? The best player tonight. This said, whoever is rejoicing in the success of a club built on the money of a dictatorship holding together through the systematic exploitation of 90% of its population should take some time to reflect on their world view. Bisous!

Love Arsenal. Death to state-owned football

one more time

furthermore if any of my readers are watching it out around Islington somewhere I'd love to join you. Otherwise i am confined to watching it with United fans. Please help me

anyone help get me into the Emirates screening tomorrow? one last hurrah ❣️

SUN ALSO RISES MENTIONED

Joy

Stupid question. We all are

🏆

WHO’S OUT IN N5 THENNNNN

I'll write properly when this has settled but for now there's this

all the streets red, all the air aflame

all the streets red, all the air aflame

really hungover so can't express this well but something about being at the emirates last night with everyone celebrating just felt like the complete antithesis of everything the right has tried to imagine london is. people want to get along, they just need a reason to be happy and have purpose

I think I will regret not going to N5 last night until the day I die

my grandad would watch matches at higbury in the 50s. my dad had 1989 before he moved to america. 2002 & 2004 afterwards. these are my champions.

I’ve followed Arsenal for 15 years. Longer than some, not nearly as long as others. My daughter is 5 and knows when every “Arsenal Day” is. She just said to me “I can’t believe I get see Arsenal be champions.” It’s amazing that we get to all be part of this.

I just love my club so much. I can't imagine life without it. I can't imagine where I'd be, who I'd know, why I'd wake up in the morning. I can't imagine not knowing every day I'm alive and connected to so many wonderful strangers through this stupid, stupid thing. I love you. I can't believe it

SCENES AY FULL TIME AT SOBHA! 🏆🏆🏆

bag secured! buzzing, thank you so much everyone. still in the market for one more if you'd like to make my friend's day/year/life

My friend @philcosta.bsky.social and I sat down with Adam Wharton in Feb for @scoutedftbl.com. Was my favourite conversation I've had with a footballer yet. He's as delightful off the pitch as on it, a remarkably unbothered young man who is distinctly...normal

A year ago, Adam Wharton played in the biggest match of his young career to date – but he doesn't remember much of it. "I’ve watched a million clips back and I sort of know what happened, but there’s no memory or recollection of the game," he told SCOUTED. Read more in Volume II: bit.ly/4uHaUwl

day two of begging in public. My dms are open

TLDR; hoes mad

the absolute best way to support my work rn is to help me in my impossible quest to secure a ticket for Burnley. Will sell my soul

The ending got me. Phenomenal work.

This is wonderful, btw.

TLDR; hoes mad

One-nil to the Arsenal. Piss boiled. Haters cucked. An absolute mess. I love the beautiful game

Anyone remember when Mads Hermansen went god mode against us for Leicester that time

Here is probably the biggest project of my career to date: Volume II. Worked my ass off on this - Spoke to Adam Wharton w/ @philcosta.bsky.social - Wrote a big essay on midfielders - Profiled four players w/ @llewdavies.bsky.social I think it's really quite good

Arsenal can beat them :-)
