Arsenal aren't playing tonight. I'm watching Traitors. 😁

You mean the "not scoring" crap will end tonight? 🤔 Not how the British media works 😉

He's been a great disrupter up front for us this season. So pleased for him tonight.

Trossard not on the pitch but twats who have dis'ed him, Martinelli and Havertz are wankers.

Might not do it every match but they are top of their game and I'm happy they are here.

Gyökeres has has been solid as a disrupter and so pleased for him tonight.

We need rotation.

Going to the game tonight, online fanzine critic Chaz Geepeetee says about Up the Arse!

"If you’re into Arsenal, enjoy a bit of mischief, and don’t mind a few jabs at the neighbours from N17, Up The Arse is a cult classic worth a read."

So buy one from the fanzine sellers!!!

It's not as though starting Lewis-Skelly is a downgrade, just that Calafiori has been in form so far.

But as a genuine soccer fan, he launched a “Game Over Greed” petition in September that called on FIFA to reverse its dynamic pricing policy for the 2026 men’s World Cup and also asked FIFA to reinstate a cap on ticket resales for the tournament.

Women's League Cup coverage is pretty bad. Can't find the matches. Was hoping to watch the Brighton v Southampton game. It came up as a search result earlier but has disappeared.

BBC Sport can't even be bothered updating the web pages with scores (Newcastle are one-up against Man City).

Okay folks. Important #Arsenal win. It's now time to block vote for Champions League winner Karen Carney on #Strictly 😉

In 2000 a few American's were at work on a project. They wanted to see a Premier League match but it was pre-season. However, I found out Fulham were playing the Spuds in a friendly. We accidentally ended up with the Spuds. I asked if we could move. We were given a police escort down the touchline 🤣

Goalkeepers are the only position where a season long loan can be recalled if a squad goes down to one fit keeper, so we could see Naomi back.

If the half time talk is just “see that rectangular thing with the onion bag behind it? Try shooting towards it every so often.” I’d be happy.

Did you have a pint of Hofmeister to wash it down? 😁

AI is just so shit. I don't know why anyone falls for this smoke and mirrors bullshit ponzi scheme.

ChatGPT: "Up The Arse! ceased publication in 2001. By that time, the rise of the internet and online fan forums had begun to overshadow traditional fanzines."

ArnoldJAardvark @arnoldjaardvark.bsky.social · 8d

5 hours on the coach with no food. That's a marathon* feat.

*For the confused out there, this is a joke for us old gits. 😁

ArnoldJAardvark @arnoldjaardvark.bsky.social · 8d

Yep. It really messes up our zeitgeist footprint but, other than social media promotion, Up The Arse! is still a print based publication.

No way they can AI scrape it unless they get a human to scan it!

Looks like there is a 3 senior game rule (which I wasn't aware of!)
