I’ll tell you what the league cup could do that would make it much better: drop 2 legged semis and have each semi played at a neutral, non-Wembley venue instead. it is a shame that this has been lost from the FA Cup, it was great.

I think you will all understand what I’m saying when I say that Eddie Nketiah has always been a West Ham player and despite this falling through he continues to be a West Ham player.

“Chelsea kept asking Arsenal questions” yeah ok but does it count when the questions are all essentially this?

is this season the worst the Emirates pitch has ever looked?

this front 3 has the passing range of a cybertruck.

the good thing about that Telegraph ragebait article is that there is no response Arsenal fans can give that can’t be met with—Ah! See! They are all weirdos, I was right, get a load of how they are responding to this article!

Really good article on Cesc, the job he’s doing at Como, the influences of the coaches he played under, and a nice bit of PR around his adherence to a playing style dictated by ownership which will impress future employers.

real shame about Dan Merino, who was having a good season and always feels like a “safe” sub. I guess maybe Kai coming back insulates us a little (assuming he can stay fit…) but I do worry a bit about our options in the centre of the park.

very funny that Solanke scored that goal and now on Sky they’re showing the Giroud one as the better version.

why are they battling over his remains? kinda sick.
🚨 Liverpool vs Chelsea battle for Jeremy Jacquet remains ongoing, only for June 2026 as Rennes don’t want to sell now. The deal will get done these days but valid from season 2026/27. Bayern are currently OUT. It’s Chelsea or Liverpool. 🎥 http://youtu.be/HIUnUvTgw_E?si=YK_vbTFOaYpkCi80

I was worried about that one. Leeds are a useful team at home particularly and they’ve been on a decent run of late. really very reassuring performance and a comprehensive result.

quite brave of Mikel Arteta to compare Max Dowman to Bojan Krkic like this
[Ed Aarons] Arteta on Max Dowman: "What he's done with us at the age of 15, me personally, I haven't seen it before. Only with a guy that used to play in Barcelona but maybe not even that. He has a certain charisma as well and personality that he doesn't get overwhelmed." https://redd.it/1qr3498

here’s how I’d go against dirty Leeds. Ødegaard’s getting dropped, sorry pal:

Raya
White-Saliba-Gabriel-California
Rice-Zubi
Saka-Eze-Trossard
Havertz

I think @tim-stillman.bsky.social alights on the same conclusion here. he doesn’t specifically cite my soothsaying but it can be assumed.

can anybody explain to me how the fuck you watch this via Sky with TNT subscription? there literally is no TNT 7 and it’s not on the red button via TNT 1.

obviously I just have the yips and on paper you’d say we have a gentler run until Spurs away, but I’m kecking myself over Leeds and Brentford away.
