Arsenal facts. Opta Data Editorial since the end of the 20th Century. Creator of @OptaJoe.com Trying to convince people to use data better.
An interesting fact that's ignored about the narrative of Man City hunting down Arsenal and it being a two-horse race in 2023-24 is that this was the league table after 30 matches:

70 Liverpool
68 Arsenal
67 Man City

Form table last 10 games:

23 Arsenal
20 Brentford
19 Man City
19 Man Utd
17 Aston Villa

City really should have red cards every single match. It's usually Rodri or Bernardo "teflon" Silva, but tonight it's Foden's turn.

Doyle being let go from MLS is somehow both stunning and not at all surprising.

The good news is for a bit of money, you can support his (awesome) writing about the game directly.

I did and think y'all should strongly consider it too
Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.

I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

5 players aged 31 or older in Liverpool's starting XI tonight - Alisson, Robertson, Salah, Endo, van Dijk.

That's Liverpool's most in a league game since November 1953 v Arsenal (also 5 - Jones, Liddell, Paisley, Spicer, Lambert). #LFC

Reskeeting this because everything else I've seen this morning already is some flavor of awful.
Good morning with good news: Renewables and nuclear will generate 84% of European Union's electricity by 2030!

RE rises from 48% to 63%!

Coal plunges 16%/year thru 2030!

Gas falls 6%/yr thru 2030!

EU will reach 100% RE & nuclear.

When?

2040-2045?

If Arsenal win their next two games (v Brentford & Wolves) they will be 33 points clear of Spurs.

The next match would then be the north London derby and a win for Arsenal would see the early celebration of St Totteringham's Day who would be 36 behind with just 11 games to play.
