Over 20% of the xG Arsenal have conceded ALL season came in the Aston Villa defeat.

Another cracking vid by @adamclery.bsky.social who also covers Gyokeres and Odegaard at Everton with aplomb.

Cracking interview this. Well worth your time.
Big interview with Zvonimir Boban in Zagreb. On his stormy departure from Uefa, the shame of Infantino's peace prize and why galvanising his beloved Dinamo will be the final task of an incredible life in football: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Zvonimir Boban: ‘If I didn’t do this it would be a betrayal of every value I have lived for’
The Croatia legend tells Nick Ames about his return to Dinamo Zagreb, his fall out with Uefa and the ‘shameful’ actions of Gianni Infantino

Via the Arsenal Supporters' Trust, Arsenal are planning a "red and white display" for the Liverpool game on 8 January - every fan will have a recyclable bag to hold up.

Six years at Arsenal for Mikel Arteta.

He never set out to be decade-spanning manager à la Wenger, but is now the football league’s third longest-serving manager.

How long will he stay? And what might his future hold?

Some thoughts for @theathleticfc.bsky.social

On Tuesday, I spent the afternoon at The Arsenal Hub, seeing first-hand the work Arsenal in the Community has been doing for 40 years.

I spoke to staff, participants and Mikel Merino, and came away genuinely humbled.

Here’s my write-up for @arseblog.com.

Got to hand it to Arsenal - an infuriating last-gasp defeat one week, an infuriating last-gasp win the next.

Arsenal just lost a game of who can shit the bed the most. But it was close.

On this day 1886, the founding members of Dial Square FC finished work in the Royal Arsenal at lunchtime then travelled to the Isle of Dogs where they thumped Eastern Wanderers 6-0.
A legend was born.
Club secretary Elijah Watkins wrote a small piece on the game in October 1902.

Shoutout to everyone who supports the team that is currently top of the Premier League and Champions League. Bad day today. Had to sit in the dark for a while. Quite a while. But we’re back. We go again. Pep talk over.

I think the next step in Merino's development is to commit to a proper beard. Think he'd look good.

Excellent from James, who I fear will be deported the next time he visits the States.
