I’m just recommending Tom’s free blog, Redstory, because I read it regularly and I like it.
It’s Arsenal focused. Its quality comes from its authenticity.

I'm 30 today. I don't really enjoy asking for things but if there's anything I want for the next year or ten, it's to keep writing my silly Arsenal blog, so if you could share or subscribe, it'd mean a lot. It's called Redstory and occasionally worth reading, I hope x

My new Arsenal long-read is out. On Madueke, Gyökeres, Hincapié, and building chemistry under pressure.
Connections
On building chemistry under pressure, Madueke’s fresh legs, Gyökeres and the Pinnock Test, Hincapié’s trial by fire, and the ripple effects of Saliba’s absence

Not to be all wokey dokey but Arsenal fans keep sharing videos of a certain fan song which many still end with a certain racial slur, and they celebrate it as some kind of hilarious meme or expression of joy, and it remains gross and weird, and I would implore you to please stop

If you're looking for history made by Yan Diomandé, a Kosovar midfielder with Adam Wharton's passing profile, a 2-metre tall Senegalese striker, an Eredivisie record equalled by Kees Smi, and an obvious Mohamed Salah replacement. This is for you:

These continue to be some of my favorite Arsenal reads (and not because the first quarter of this is about art, but also kinda because of that)
Chased by the cold and unfeeling, Arsenal must hold their heart with two hands
Patchwork fury
Bring it, over and over again.

Aleksandar Pavlović and Konstantinos Karetsas dominate the Rabbit Hole this week, but there's still time for a Zambian striker letting off shots for fun, VfL Wolfsburg's secret centre-back sauce, and TSG Hoffenheim's Kosovo core. Follow the white rabbit:
