Ok I am no genius, but why is it that we only seem to get news about new Contracts after a bad result or an iffy one. ha ha. Happy to hear Saka & Rene have new contracts. We are so lucky to have Saka as one of our own. Can't wait for my shirt to arrive with his name on it.

@philcosta.bsky.social had the most astute insight last night on the @arsenalvpodcast.bsky.social instant reaction. Not having Ekitike allowed Liverpool to play very conservative & not risk anything. Yet all the onus will be about Arsenal dropping points & not Liverpool dropping points.

Today's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Feathers&Form & #Resting. Inspired by Alan's photo of a cormorant, I've gone for a Little Black Cormorant which I saw in Sydney & then for resting we have a Savannah Nightjar which I saw in Thailand last year.

After reading the latest @arseblog.com. He makes a very valid point that before this period if you had offered Arsenal 16 out of 18 points. We would have bitten your arm off for that. The disappointment is because we all dreamt of being 8 points ahead. Clean sheet, no loss. We move on. #coyg

That was no fun at all and I'm annoyed. Just keep reminding myself that it's really great to be annoyed and dissatisfied with a team that is six points clear and has earned the ability to play badly and drop points that aren't fatal.

Hate watch went well for our rivals. Guess better not to lose. On a plus side. We have a clean sheet after a very long time.

Love Saliba but I do find it funny when he pulls off a forward run. He gets to a point where he doesn't know what to do with the ball. Ha ha.

Hope I'm wrong. But feels like one of those games we dominate & they get one lucky chance.

I am vibe-sensitive. Semenyo is incredible, but Semenyo-to-City doesn't pass my vibe check.

I know hindsight is easy, but how come Igor Thiago was never in the conversation when looking to buy a striker?

Has the Man City ground ever been full. Whenever I see their stadium. It always looks like there are lots of empty seats
January 8, 2026 at 10:01 AM
well that ruined an almost perfect Hate Watch, oh well. still a good night, still don't know where all that extra time came from.
January 7, 2026 at 10:21 PM
Oh Arsenal please don't F it up tomorrow night, Honestly we have a chance to go 8 points ahead again......Gone is the relaxed attitude to this game tomorrow and in comes the anxiety. #coyg

Oh my gosh, Hate watch has been pretty good again

It's sucks a bit. As a mixed race person, I want Liam Rosenior to succeed as there are so few people of colour coaching but as a Chelsea coach, I want him to fail miserably. Grrrr.

Do City never have to adhere to any spending restrictions? Seems like they can just spend money without any consequences?
January 6, 2026 at 7:52 PM
My fellow Gooners, I need help. Normally I would be shitting myself for Thursday's game but I feel weirdly calm......am I delusional? Hope this uncharacteristically calm is warranted. #COYG

I know it can be hard to dispute technology, but I still find it hard to understand how the Wirtz goal was not offside, even with 5cm tolerance. His foot was showing way over the grass line?
