13 points this season against 8 last season from equivalent six games (plus 3 from Leeds at home). Big improvement

In the last week, Arsenal have played three fixtures - Newcastle away, Olympiakos at home and West Ham at home - that they lost the last time the corresponding fixture was played.

They've won all three.

Arteta at 300.

Still feels remarkable Arsenal appointed a rookie back then. Here's a look at what he found, what he's doing, and what he is driven for next.

Great piece. I've felt a bit lost the last few days. I'd always felt, to a certain extent, like I floated above a lot of this. I live in North London, work in showbiz, have a lot of fun and, to paraphrase Fiddler, 'we don't bother them and so far, they don't bother us'. Doesn't feel like that now.

Thank you. As for ads for ICE, as you can imagine I had no idea. But also, what do you mean? Are they recruitment ads?

Ian Stone @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social · 11d

Fair point

“We aren’t racists”, cry the party who not only invited Lucy Connolly, convicted for inciting racially motivated violence, to its conference, but interviewed her on stage, chat show style, as if she was the most heroic freedom fighter the world has ever seen.

Sod off, racists.
