Reassuring to see we are going after a midfield profile we are severely lacking.

Liverpool fans will tell you the only reason we might win the league this year is because city fell away. Completely forgetting that both times they’ve won the pl City were at their absolute worst. They had basically no challenge either time. But yeah sure, we’d be lucky
Arsenal do not deserve to win anything this season, again. Shitty coach, shitty players.
There was no need for this (following the challenge on Wirtz in the box).
Gabriels are the worst. Not the band, I like them.

If I am the manager of Tottingham Hotspur, I’d probably avoid being pictured with an Arsenal coffee cup. Give yourself a chance man!

BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

Here’s a question that I was asked today: in a world where after Klopp leaves, Arteta goes to Liverpool and Arsenal get Slot, what does the premier league table look like, this season and last?

On the one hand, if Chelsea can pull a rabbit out of the hat against city that’s good because 7 points would be a great buffer. On the other hand Chelsea…

Sent to Arsenal on X I really hope you guys win the treble. However, as an Evertonian I have a request. Please tell your away fans that the 'Feed the Scousers' chants were out of order. People are struggling to feed themselves all over the UK, including in London. There's banter and there's cruelty.

@arsenalvisionpodcast.com I gotta tell ya man, I’ve never agreed more with @poznaninmypants.bsky.social than the last three weeks. Last night Jesus’ influence on Nelli was absolutely a huge factor and Jesus was dynamite. Kaya also made note of it in his write up. Tho I’d say Eze was fine 1st half.

It’s always nice when this happens.
I'm pleased that our paper on a graph-theoretic framework for free-parafermion solvability has been published in RSPA. We prove that if the frustration graph of a spin system is an oriented indifference graph, then it has an exact free-parafermion solution. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
