F/T: 1-1

Two points dropped by Arsenal, but in truth they were fortunate to end the night with one. This was a game they easily could have lost. Brentford the better team.

Crumbling again. Sigh! This is not the performance of title contenders

One day there will be a reckoning for how Arsenal Football Club dealt with this case. And I’m afraid that includes the manager

A fool and his money are soon parted. Don't have a problem with legalized sports betting, just don't want the podcast I'm listening to telling me what to bet on.
In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint

Ok tell me if I'm way off base here.

In The Devil Went Down to Georgia, the devil wins, right? Pride and greed are sins and the devil gets Johnny to sin by making him prideful about his ability and the golden fiddle or whatever it is.

What need has the devil of a fiddle if he gets Johnny's soul?

Chelsea fans are second only to Liverpool fans for this kind of shit.
I did get a special satisfaction out of the Chelsea fan sitting behind me at the bar relentlessly chatting shit all game suddenly going quiet the second Kai rounded the keeper and silently walking out 😊

When Kai scored I cackled like a cave goblin

Ampadu needs to take his crusty pencil moustache back to 1912 where it belongs.

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”

That was exactly the type of goal we bought Viktor Gyokeres to score.

Leeds have a player named Sean Longstaff which is a lazy wizard name but a good dick joke name

Gyökeres has a full yard here and it still ends up with the defender able to recover. I know all the sprint metrics say he’s up there among the fastest players but that’s not showing up here.

Great to see our two most prolific attackers combining- setpiece and own goal.

Blackpool 10/11 are the only team to get relegated after getting more than 25 points from first 22 games but one can hope. they'll have the best stadium in the Championship.
A fresh Cannon Stats simulation. The regular laptop has Arsenal up to 88% to win the league and up 6% over last. Manchester City took a major hit on the team ratings after their derby loss. Spurs have also sneakily snuck up to a 1% relegation chance.

Such a devastating and horrible weekend right? 😉

@poznaninmypants.bsky.social agree with your sentiment on the podcast that Eze needs to make the most of the chances he gets but I disagree that his chances lately have been long enough to do so.
2 mins isn't long enough to impress my wife much less someone with real (e)standards like Arteta.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills hearing Arsenal fans ask if we're spoiled for being miffed about the Chelsea result right after agreeing we should have won 4-1.
We let a comfortable rout curdle to a close win. A team used to putting in B-grade performances earned a C. Disappointment is normal.
