Arsenal are still effective from those situations and have continued to score from them but the reliance hasn't really existed for ages. Before yesterday, Arsenal's last 12 PL goals hadn't been from corners. It was a couple of months since a goal from a corner actually earned Arsenal any points.

I find the moralizing around set pieces from Slot so obviously a way to deflect from the very difficult and very real truth that the reigning champions sit 16 points off the leaders after having spent £450 million to remake the squad in his image

In Chelsea’s last five visits to the Emirates Stadium their only two goals were scored by Arsenal’s Piero Hincapié and Arsenal’s Noni Madueke.

Now, it's a happy St Totteringham's Day

Thank god that’s over. My superstition tendencies kicked into overdrive at halftime and I by the end of the game I was only reading the liveblog with my back to my tv while listening to a Bob Mortimer compilation. Dire haha

When did advantage stop being a critical component of the game?

What a save by Raya

Would love to be at an Arsenal bar in Quito right now

I need Trossard to not have one of these games

What the fuck, Zubi

Handsomest man on the pitch scores.

Sp*rs really are in free fall

Oh wow. Iwobi! A zinger!

I love watching Newcastle get out shithouse’d

Are we sure Rob Edwards goes back down with Wolves?

I am strong enough to wear my statement sweater vest

I gotta say, I like being the team with the kind of draw that makes fans of other teams furious

Anthony Edwards that was ridiculous

I hope you all see what's happening: The cops and a bunch of bad-faith "influencers" are manufacturing a crisis over a snowball because they have nothing to hold over the mayor while crime in NYC continues its years-long decline. Watch carefully who plays along with this charade.

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

The consortium led by James Bord has pulled out of the process to buy Sheffield Wednesday nine weeks after it was given preferred bidder status. More from @mjslater.bsky.social

Why is Cleveland pretending it’s Phoenix?

Every few years, American finance realizes this one thing called speculation (investment) and this other thing called speculation (fiction) are the same thing. AND THEY FREAK THE FUCK OUT. And then forget again almost instantaneously. aeon.co/essays/the-f...

Tears

5 goals (and counting) against Spurs in a single season is so funny

Hell of a strike. Now for the love of god, score more

Unreal that they had the entire half-time break to fix their communication issue and they’re working on it now, when the second half should be starting.

Great, happy for the kids (and teachers), but I need you locked in on the derby, dude

A Declan olimpico would do wonders

Predictable pain

Saliba is so bad at headers

We are trapped in the belly of a horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death and also winning gold, baby

Excuse me?

I’m just not so sure the guy who went against the advice of the recruitment team and bought a wardrobe should be allowed to build a department in his image just yet

This doesn’t seem great

How do you stop rating Ben White? I think his situation is emblematic of a larger issue with the team and the manager. The number of players trusted is far too small

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.
