Anyone know what's going on with registering for the Arsenal cup scheme. I've completed step 1 - registration. But no idea about step 2 - selecting which cup. Help!

Merino up front and Rice on the bench tonight with MLS next to Nwaneri in midfield, Norgaard or Zubi at 6. I'd love to see Myles and Ethan rekindle their partnership. After Myles' superb assist last week I think he's ready for a return to his best spot.

@arsecannonpics.bsky.social This little beauty was cast by my gooner mate Tony and weighs a ton. Needs a good clean though.

Martinelli was switched with Saka just before his goal. Mikel and Alberti2 had seen something. I'm guessing that it was Martinelli's pace against Ake? Whether true or not, it worked!

I spent the last week or two watching Arsenal’s newest defender. Here’s my big breakdown of how he could shape the team’s present and future: his physical edge, attacking contributions, positional projection, and more. Enjoy. ❤️

Both goals from open play last night. Might have got 1 from a corner if Victor's head had not blocked Gabriel.

Well played Olivia. An assist then wins a stonewall pen. What a terrific player to bring on.

Not sure why Arsenal would buy another forward after watching Max Dowman today. He is so ready.

If Noni plays half as well as Billy writes ....
I spent the last couple of weeks watching and writing about Noni Madueke. Here's my huge scouting report on Arsenal’s newest (homegrown!) winger: profiling his directness, strengths, tactical fit (LW/RW), self-belief, lingering questions, and what problems he solves for Arsenal. Enjoy. ❤️

Did anyone watch the u-21s Vs Slovenia? Ethan missed a sitter and was ill at ease playing on the left. Eventually they switched him to the right and he came alive only to be subbed off.

Whilst this evening's match is so important for Arsenal I guess it's fairly routine for RM. So my concern is that we may be overhyped and nervy. But they may be over casual, especially with their home leg to follow. UTA!

Highly recommend this article. Exhibits a moral clarity that has been conspicuous by its absence among the north-east's political class.

Great day at the Ems yesterday in a carnival atmosphere as Arsenal Women won 4-0 against the scousers. Impressed by Frida's link-up play and movement. I think she's settling in as a 10. Encouraging cameos from Jenna and Vicky. Lots of youngsters in the crowd. Brass band at the Tolly. Excellent!
