I agree people are allowed to make mistakes. But owning up to your mistakes should include a component to try and rectify those mistakes. I think that should include something beyond an apology that was probably written by a PR person.

I agree that an apology is better than nothing, but does that qualify as accountability? I see way too many people say things like "I take responsibility" or something similar, but they don't actually do anything to rectify any harm. We'll see if Puka does something or if he's all talk...

Chelsea did a lot of time wasting in the second half, but I honestly thought arsenal was slower in the first...

The y-axis is labeled "non penalty xg per 90". So yes this takes into account minutes played.

Announcers talking about hershfelt/bernal in a two person midfield too...

To think she might not have been at this tournament without the arsenal move is insane!
July 27, 2025 at 6:48 PM
That would be a great take if it was random dudes on social media not people like Gunnerblog who have a long history of journalistic integrity AND have every reason to make Arsenal seem good. But if it's easier for you to believe they made it up, I mean go for it. I wish I could believe that too.

Either you offer a new contract or you don't. That's about as black and white (as in there are two alternative options) as it can be. And we chose the wrong one.
July 4, 2025 at 3:09 PM
So why offer the contract at all? Teams don't offer contracts all the time to expiring players. Super easy to do that. And again there's a huge fucking gap between suspending someone and offering him a new contract. But hey, now we can go down in history as the club who defended Partay!
July 4, 2025 at 2:34 PM
By virtually every account yes we did. Was I there and did I see it myself? no. But if you want to believe that every journalist who reported it completely made it up and that we had no contact with him or his agent you go right ahead.
July 4, 2025 at 2:31 PM
Not offer him a new contract? That's the bare fucking minimum I would expect from a club I support...
July 4, 2025 at 2:18 PM
Innocent until proven guilty is a legal guideline. It's not an excuse to offer him a new contract...
July 4, 2025 at 2:17 PM
What formation will this even be?
June 23, 2025 at 1:26 AM
Thank you, everywhere else I'd read suggested that her contract was up this summer, so I'm glad to hear that's not true!
June 2, 2025 at 1:49 PM
You don't say it directly, but I feel like reading between the lines, in this newsletter and the post about offseason priorities, suggests that Pelova will be at Arsenal next year (yay!). Does that mean that her contract has been extended or that things are moving in that direction?
June 2, 2025 at 1:08 PM
I think the minutes he played were appropriate for most years, but given how many minutes were available I think he could have gotten a few more. If we have better health luck he might actually have fewer opportunities next year

Barca 19
Inter 19

I checked Arsenal's minutes this year:
18 over 1000.
Jesus was close and would have with no injury
Liverpool at 16 with 1 more player very close
May 23, 2025 at 1:22 PM
GK: 1 (backup plays only cup games ideally)
Defenders: 7 (if no injuries probably only 6 play)
midfielders: 6 (If no injuries probably only 5 play)
Wingers: 5 (no injuries 4 play)
Strikers: 2
No injuries: 18, assuming reasonable injuries 21
May 23, 2025 at 1:19 PM
I imagine it would be pretty high for post shot xg, but the reality is that headers from that spot are probably most likely to go over the bar, so I would guess it's xG would probably only be like .2.

Arsenal's success in the Champions League this season has all been rooted in excellent second legs (We lose to Bayern, Real Madrid and Lyon in the first matchup each time). Do we need to make any adjustments or change our approach for a single game final?
April 28, 2025 at 1:38 PM
Give the Spirit some credit! It was at least 1/48 times.
