It’s fitting that this crap NFL game between the Broncos and Jets is being played at the Tottenham Hotspur Toilet Bowl.

What do we think of Tottenham?

so true, bestie!

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 9d

While simultaneously getting out of the way so as not to screen his own keeper. Levels.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 9d

but did they concede?

checkmate, nerds.

Ain’t nothing wrong with a sports couch nap, even when it’s your club on TV. Sometimes needs must.

Have to admit, I fell asleep for a bit of the second half on my couch at home. But good win! Points we didn't get last season!

69% possession for Arsenal

That was the most boring you'll ever see a match in which one team completely and totally dominates the other.

Which is fine with me.

Fulltime. 2-0 to Arsenal. A comfortable victory takes the Gunners top of the table (pending Chelsea-Liverpool).

West Ham did not have a shot on target.

If you look up "picked his pocket" in the Dictionary, you'll get an image of Zubimendi taking the ball off Summerville.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Announcer said they're expecting at least seven more minutes. For what, exactly?

I don't remember many stoppages this half.

david raya has not had his best day on corners!

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Viktor Gyokeres looked like he had to figure out which of his feet to move next on the edge of the box with the ball caught underneath him.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Mikel Merino careening over the collapsed forms of Gyokeres, Summerville, and Mavropanos was comical.

Happens so, so often!

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

It sure looked like Viktor Gyokeres was prevented from spinning and running by a hold there.

Think the referee had a word with a West Ham player, so you can expect a foul called against Arsenal on this corner.

Gabriel Martinelli coming on for Ebere Eze.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Declan Rice has gone down, fell kind of awkwardly earlier, holding his back.

Mikel Merino replacing him.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

FOUL THROW CALL!

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly replace Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Paqueta booked for kicking Calafiori after that foul.

Think Riccardo is a little lucky to have not been booked for the shirt pull.

Great ball from Martin Zubimendi to put Jurrien Timber in, and an absolutely magnificent control / turn from Jurrien to win the penalty.

Zubi instrumental for both goals.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Bukayo Saka converts the penalty. 2-0 to Arsenal. That feels much better.

Initial contact outside the box, but they determined it continued into the box.

Color me surprised. Thought that would be pulled back to a free kick.

The Short Fuse @theshortfuse.bsky.social · 10d

Jurrien Timber wins a penalty. Incredibly well-taken on the turn.

Think that might be just outside the box. VAR will tell.
