Arsenal FC. Football odds compiler.
Hardly at our best, but a win against a coach who has had our number previously. Zubimendi gave us a lot of control in that 2nd half when legs looked tired. His transition to the league has been seamless.

This isn’t the first time this season, either. The two wins followed a similar pattern. It’s enough to get you fired. Embarrassment.
- Demercardo drops ball at goal line going in for 28-6 lead
- Intercept Cam Ward but fumble it and knock it backwards into the end zone for Titans TD
- Fail to score on last 8 drives
- Gannon turtles up and doesn't let Kyler try to throw it for a first down on last drive
- Give up Ward GW FG drive

Really feels like there’s more for us in this if we want it. But given the absentees, to have this level of control, mainly off the ball really, is very impressive.

Been meaning to go Vale for about 10 years now.

Been impressed with what I've seen of Grimsby this season. Jaze Kabia in particular. He's on the bench tonight.

Birthday today. Literally one of the first things I said to my boy this morning was “That’s Eze. We don’t want him going to Spurs”. The birthday gods heard me loud and clear.

Surviving every delivery here with Aggers and Tuffers. Long live the wireless. Although I might go see if the hotel bar will put it on for me, and be the first person in Greek history to watch some test cricket.

That split second of silence with the ball spinning back towards Siraj’s stumps. Beautiful.

I’ll fight anyone who still tries to tell you test cricket isn’t best.

This will be a stain against our club, and rightfully so unfortunately. Timing of the charges only adds another layer. Thankfully, he is gone.

Fixtures after CL matchdays: City (H), West Ham (H), Palace (H), Sunderland (A), Chelsea (A), Wolves (H), Man Utd (H), Leeds (A). A lot of home fixtures there. Looks kinder than years gone by.

This is an excellent bit of business. Take advantage of the basket cases that can’t keep their house in order.
🚨BREAKING: Arsenal are set to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea.

Arsenal will pay the £5m release clause.

Even Ally McCoist, the most enthusiastic of all humans, has called this game out for what it is.

A goal fitting of the tie.

La Samp relegated to Serie C for first time in their history. A mainstay of 90’s channel 4 coverage. My “Italian side” since the 95 Cup Winners Cup. Nostalgia fading away.

Two hands in the back no longer a foul then I see. But play the advantage and then come back and send him off.

They were booing Bradley being subbed, I’m sure.

Who’s face should I see when I open up the desk drawer this morning. This man will haunt me for some time.

Can’t fault effort or gameplan there. They were going so hard. It’s not more complicated than “we need another great player or two, and with them a touch more ruthlessness, and some better fortune.”

Fuck it all. Love to you

Keep the faith. We’re really good. We’re not far off. Devastating none the less.

That was a largely excellent 45 minutes from Arsenal. Pressed so well, played with bravery, embraced the atmosphere, created chances, but just couldn’t beat Donnarumma in that early blitz. Then concede to a big deflection. Fairly typical of the season.

Long way back now, but not out of it yet.

If there’s a half that sums up our season, that’s it. Tactically spot on. Not ruthless enough in the opposition box. Sloppy mistake at the back punished.
May 7, 2025 at 7:51 PM
Can confirm I’m not exactly emotionally stable right now. UP THE ARSENAL.

If you thought our start was bad...
