I can't believe Game of Thrones is back and better than ever

I’ve only read the first article and this is already WELL worth my subscription

Here is the project I've poured my entire soul into for the last six weeks. If you like my football writing and find yourself thinking 'wow, I wish I could read 23,000 words of this,' you might enjoy Volume I. I'm very, very proud of this:

Best in the business. If I'm ever in a mood about Arsenal, Tom reliably reframes my thinking - and not in a LinkedIn way either

I release an illustrated article about an interesting aspect of football every Monday There's 8 available with 2 more on the way danleydon.substack.com

Thanks for all the great comments today. Can't respond to everyone but you all make my week. Much love x

Love every moment

"I think, ultimately, the world doesn’t quite know what to do with the knowledge Arsenal are simply better than everyone else" Great stuff as always

"The bits of this tribalism that dress themselves up as actual analysis are, in truth, merely products of a fanbase who are still yet to come to terms with just how good their team has become."

Love every moment

putting Acheampong up top and failing to launch a single cross? masterful gambit, sir

SHE WORE SHE WORE SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON

it will end in tears ofc but my early impressions are that Liam Rosenoir might be quite good at this

Basically perfect by every metric. We're so back (we never left)

does Pep Guardiola know who pays his fucking wages?

first Champion's League game in ~fifteen years w/ @jakeentwistle.bsky.social

Things are so dark right now, but every day I read so much incredible writing that grapples with and punches through the terror, and it reminds me that even the silly football stuff is an act of defiance

Wrote a little bit about Alex Pretti, who was a Real Man. badfaithtimes.com/pretti-was-d...

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

i think i might care too much about the football

I am an analytical purist. I believe Arsenal's 'problems' (lol) could be solved simply by playing Mikel Merino more

At halftime here in the San Siro it's Arsenal B, two, Last Year's Finalists (at home), one

Bukayo Saka having one of those 'fuck you, I'm the best in the world' kinda days

Arsenal had no answer on the pitch, but no emotional answer, either, and that was most worrying of all

Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:

Arsenal had no answer on the pitch, but no emotional answer, either, and that was most worrying of all

it's crazy how much sheer feeling Arsenal generated over the past three years and now, when we're in our best-ever position, it's all gone so emotionally flat

Can't believe how good Bruno Fernandes is at football sometimes lol

is there any better sight than Kai Havertz gliding around a football pitch. The world feels right again

staphylococci hates to see him comin'

SCOUTED is changing in 2026. Let us walk you through our exciting new direction as we enter an exciting new year.

On loving something you can't control

I forgot what it felt like to be really bone-deep disgusted with Arsenal

I could try to write about how much I miss Kai Havertz but my words would fail

Liverpool deserve an absolute whacking. That's all I'll say. UTA

Benjamin Henrichs returned to training today after a year out. An interview with him, about what it’s like to hear your own Achilles rupture and what the long road back is like. @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/621...

We are going down to THE WIRE with The Fence's Fighting Fund. There are 22 hours left and we've got about £1,400 left to raise - we need a few of you to step up to the plate and help us get our year off to the best possible start. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fences-fig...

According to YouGov, 40% of Britons have not read or listened to a book in the past year. Of the remainder, 22% read 1-5 books per year and 4% (me) read more than 50 books. If that's you, please stop doomscrolling and open a book. Let's each recommend a title. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Everything I've said / written about Chelsea Football Club in the last month was a psyop and it has succeeded. You may now disregard. Wonderful institution

COLOSSAL

resting a player as good as Bukayo Saka for a player as good as Noni fucking Madueke. What is this world

Madueke is so intoxicating because of how little you have to squint to see him as one of the few best in the world. He's got the juice.

someone dig up Henry Kissinger and perform an exorcism or something
