Tottenham look so much better under Thomas Frank but at their core they are still Tottenham

“After all, football boardrooms – like Arsenal's – are overwhelmingly dominated by men, and it is men not calling out other men that allows this awful cycle to repeat itself.”

I Can’t Look at Arsenal the Same Way After Thomas Partey
It’s not normal for any fan to support 10 of your team’s players instead of 11 – but that’s what Arsenal forced many fans to do over the past three years. It should have been different.

open.substack.com/pub/thecutba... Analysis piece on England 6-1 Wales - primarily focused on how Toone’s underlapping runs and interplay with James unlocked the Wales defence.
How tremendous Toone helped revive England's Euros defence

I want the manager asked about this in every press conference and interview all season, no matter how many times he offers no comment.

It's shameful that we were even considering renewing him.

The people at the top of the club were not blind to this situation, and still considered it in the interests of sporting expedience.

Lessons should be learned.

In one-off matches, finishing can come and go (as we are painfully reminded last night). Overall however, Arsenal don't have a clinical finishing problem buff.ly/ELzyDP3

Renee has reacted really well to this today. McCabe is tucking in to stop counters when Arsenal come forward and rarely venturing into the final third.
Asked Joe Montemurro about exploiting some of the space Arsenal leave when they ask McCabe to vacate left-back. ‘Yeah I asked Diani to stay a little higher. After 20 minutes we could see Katie wasn’t pushing on as much and then that gave us some space in midfield.’

I genuinely had some sympathy when the allegations came out because they’re dealing with someone else’s mess but actively choosing to keep him at the club (if they do end up doing that) is unforgivable
"Look, the club is in an impossible position here, what do you expect them to do? They simply have to ignore the allegations, keep playing him, refuse to try to transfer him out, and offer him a lucrative new contract."

Heathrow outage has unfortunately affected my ability to get to London this week. Have a ticket for AWFC v Liverpool tomorrow and for Wednesday night's game against Madrid available.

Trying not to take for granted the fact that Arsenal are so much better than Chelsea. They’ve beaten us once since 2019 and zero times in four years.

Really strong second half from Arsenal. Another game under Slegers where they showed they are capable of changing gears to get a result

Who is to blame for Arsenal's FA Cup exit?
