And yes, it does mention US billionaires and Arsenal’s sponsorships But as important as all that is, it’s negligible next to the influence of a hydrocarbon global power - look at effect of Strait of Hormuz This is what it does to football www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

The dark truth behind PSG’s Champions League dominance

Just four years on from a World Cup where they took centre stage, Qatar’s sportswashing and myriad other issues have been largely forgotten, writes Miguel Delaney, even amid PSG’s European football ta...

A must watch. 🥹 This belongs to all of us. 🏆 Via Arsenal (IG) 🔴⚪

Perhaps the thing that makes me happiest is that this leaves absolutely no doubt that what Mikel Arteta has done - taking over a club filled with rot and leaks and turn it into a perennial winner, always in the conversation NO MATTER WHAT - is truly incredible.

I have seen lots of talk about the difficulty of schedules between Arsenal, Bayern, and PSG, so I wanted to try and look at it a bit more. This shows the strength of the opponent and also the % of the minutes in the match that were still competitive.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Comment: amid all the debate about Chelsea, the most serious point has been overlooked A now-sanctioned oligarch was able to manipulate English football through industrialised cheating - and this is barely addressed The meaning of the payments is as big www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

How the Chelsea case proves that cheats can prosper in the Premier League

Chelsea have avoided the most serious punishment, writes Miguel Delaney, but the Premier League must now address a wider issue to avoid undermining the very reason for its existence

on the bright side, if marc andreessen really does have the memory of a goldfish, there's still hope that he will decide it's a good idea to get in another wealthy weirdo's tin can to travel to the bottom of the sea

the billionaires are not ok

As a Manchester United fan I rightly expect absolutely no sympathy for the abject state of my club. I will also say: Wenger's Arsenal overwhelmed Manchester United fair and square, while Chelsea and Manchester City didn't, and football as a whole is still paying a huge price for that.

Wenger got mocked and memed for years on end while other clubs, particularly Chelsea, had to break the law repeatedly to beat his Arsenal side. It is shameful but of course capitalism has no shame.

'Dowman International All Angles' part 2

You legend (giving it on a plate) made me launch Premiere for the first time in more than a year. Also Max may had something to do with that 'Dowman International All Angles' part 1

If we dont get a schaddenfreude with @arsenalvisionpodcast.com and @philcosta.bsky.social after this round, something is wrong with world. Just WRONG!

If Arsenal do win the Premier League this season, they'll need to have the parade in the Cardiac Care unit because that's where everyone will be.

I love this. Clive and Elliot from the Arsenal Vision Podcast give Arsenal a rallying cry.

@scott.cannonstats.com or @adam.cannonstats.com, there is always talk about the new manager bounce», an effect which exists, though subtle. Does there exist a new player bounce? Think January signings, with little time to adapt, e.g., Guehi and Semenyo. Will their form dip?

If there is one thing you are guaranteed with the thirty it is hard hitting analysis by @philcosta.bsky.social and @arseblog.com What do Edu do????

Merino is to @arsenalvisionpodcast.com , what set-pieces are to mainstream football media. A persistent and undeniable nusance.

I hope Arsenal win 1-0, just to piss the pundits off even more
