Merry Christmas to all. I wish everyone a wonderful holiday. I’m thankful to spend time with family but also to be a part of the larger Arsenal community. It’s delightful to be atop the table at this time of year.

Arsenal 1 (3.1)-(0.8) 1 Crystal Palace
It can be a silly game sometimes, somehow Arsenal scored 0 goals here.
Probably shouldn't have gone to penalties but Arsenal still make it through to the semi final.

Arsenal had 12 shots, 1.6 xG, 2.1 xG on target, 3 big chances and 38 touches in the box in that half.
Crazy that they go in with a 0 on the board.

Arsenal and Manchester City 2025/26 Goal finishing compared to expected goals. Man City in the middle of a purple patch, Arsenal at a low point, this probably goes a fair way to some of the narrative shift.

I have seen some more creeping Emery revisionism on the TL lately (as is the case when Aston Villa are in a purple patch) and that is a good chance to re-post this from Adam:
Is Unai Emery really a better manager than Arteta? www.cannonstats.com/p/is-unai-em...

One of these is Eze and one of these is Odegaard this season in the PL + CL.

I think this will be a rotated but strong Arsenal team. I bet Arsenal want to win this match and this competition.
Maybe to the annoyance of some. I’m in favor of winning it’s why we watch (even if it is a shity measure of doing well)

I don’t think I fully understand the Odegaard stuff that has come out since he has come back into the team.
I think it’s about him but not about him either
