Arsenal were very entertaining for a generation, won nothing, and were mocked by the fans of every other club in the country.

Arsenal were told not to be precious and insist there was a 'right' way to play. That defensive football was valid and Arsenal were arrogant and naive to act differently.

This is so strange to me as someone from a state where ONP will barely run a slate of candidates let alone win a seat. Local independents seem much more likely to benefit from the fall of the libs than One Nation
Australia, YouGov poll:

ALP (Centre-left): 31% (+1)
ONP (Right): 25% (+5)
LIB (Centre-right): 14%
GRN (Green): 12% (-1)
LNP (Centre-right|Conservative): 4%
NAT (Conservative): 2%

+/- vs. 23 December 2025

Fieldwork: 20-27 January 2026
Sample size: 1,500

If I’m being honest Arteta’s Arsenal is starting to feel like Wenger’s Project Youth team. Lots of good players but no reliable A++ player (Henry, Salah, Haaland) to drag the team over the line with individual brilliance and take that leap from top 4 to champions. What I’d give for an Alexis Sanchez

As an Aussie who has barely ever been cold cold, and uses Celsius. I can’t comprehend this on a number of levels
HOLY CRAP!

Minneapolis Protests right now as Temperature sits at -16.

Another reason why I hate that Australian pollies and the media uses America as the benchmark for anything. They both can be utter failures for multiple generations and still say “Hey… At least we aren’t the Yanks”
If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

It’s very funny to me that, in order to get an edge over their competitors at the top of the league, Arsenal have forgone relying on a world-class forward like a Salah or Haaland; and instead are just going with being ridiculously good from corners - and that it’s working 😂

They really dont want to be leaders of the free world anymore.

It would make it a lot easier if the rest of us realised this and acted accordingly
Here’s the list

So China doesn't do this sort of shit because they don't have to. Only declining empires need apply.

The long standing joke (since the invasion of Iraq) has been that the yanks are always shocked at the temerity of other countries positioning themselves above THEIR oil, but that literally seems to be the case here 🤣
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

@patrickwyman.bsky.social Just heard you talking about Past Lives on TF.

It’s probably outside the period you’re covering, but John Randall has a wild story. He was an African American slave who escaped to become a British soldier and fight against his slave masters during the US Revolution

Now or never if Arsenal want to prove their champion credentials…

Fail to win here and they don’t deserve the league

As a centre-left Millennial Arsenal fan, the GOAT centre-left talk show @adamfriedlandshow.bsky.social getting Bellerín & Wrighty to record messages for Mamdani and showing him during a North London derby Arsenal won with an Eze hattrick might be the most hyper-targeted content ever made for me
November 25, 2025 at 12:33 AM
Look I’m blaming Mamdani for Arsenal drawing last night… Vibes are a zero sum game for Arsenal fans and he tapped into the supply too hard this week.

The funniest thing about the Yanks and their nokings thing is how much more functional Westminster democracies are despite having a king

It annoys me how bad at marketing the #Aleague is. I’m a former season ticket holder for Adelaide United but stopped going when we had a baby. The first game of the season was tonight and I’ve only heard about it because I’ve stumbled across the replay on Paramount plus hours after the fact
