“I want you to know that we are confident that we won today’s game”

Outside the Emirates Stadium tonight

Olly! Olly! Olly! Oi oi oi

Not proud of it, but I once got creative and registered a team of 20-year-olds in a U10s tournament. Other coaches kept saying things like "you can't use them" and "they have beards" and "I think that's Myles Lewis-Skelly." But whatever happened behind the scenes, the game is won on the pitch.

⚡'Nothing left to eat' —Sybiha urges partners to act on Oleshky humanitarian crisis. Oleshky's population has fallen from around 24,000 to approximately 2,000 as of spring 2026, according to the Foreign Ministry.

"Of course. We can do what we want.” That's the line, in the hacked emails published by Der Spiegel in 2018, that sums up the sense of entitlement that fuelled Manchester City's cheating under this ownership. Column for @theathleticfc.bsky.social #MCFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/763...

Some of the festivities for Donald Trump Jr.’s intimate wedding celebration on two private Bahamian islands were paid for by a wealthy Russian who does business with the state. The donor recently accompanied Russian President Vladimir Putin to China.

Manchester Utd and Tottenh*m have played 8 matches between them and have amassed a total of 6 points.

👀 something new on the @arseblog.com YouTube channel. The start of a new tactics series with yours truly in front of the camera. First up, the win at Aston Villa, with a focus on Calafiori's movement and a word for Mikel Merino's breathtaking appearance from the bench!

Honestly, he could have broken Bruno’s leg there. Just mad.

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

Calling Bsky football contingent: should you be watching/going to one of today's PL games, please keep your eyes peeled for ads for funky betting websites on the perimeter boards (or elsewhere) and, if you see any, please reply to this post and mention who they were for and where they appeared.

Not the behaviour of an ally who believes in the rule of law.

Arsenal match now free on Arsenal YouTube if pay per view is broken.

See, it's funny because it's true. #Sad

What a joke. The payments made to agents resulted in transfers which significantly strengthened their team to the detriment of rivals. Sporting sanctions are the only meaningful deterrent to a club awash with funds. This decision simply incentivises bribery. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

100% on Tuchel. 6 defenders and a low block with no pace up front against a team literally designed to unpick low blocks? Insane and predictable.

My 15 year old went on a school trip today to the Arsenal Museum and stadium tour. No one in his photo of the trophy since they were being asked to pay £45 for the privilege. Little bit of photoshop should fix that. Imagine the meeting where they came up with that price.

Despite frantic sound editing, boos for Trump’s version of the USA coming across loud and clear in the opening ceremony. The World cup has always brought people together.

Good to see the most Brexit town in Britain getting into Europe

Joe Hart’s MOTD monologue about Manchester City’s “spine” was all good stuff, but for some reason he forgot to mention the Abu Dhabi royal family, their extraordinary legal team and of course, their amazing accountants. They really make the magic happen.

Arsenal and Man City’s similar predicament is framed so differentIy by the BBC: Arsenal (0 charges): 3 matches in 7 days, facts. Man City (115 charges): 3 “arduous” matches in 7 days, poor dears, they’re trying really hard to win stuff plus catch flights. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Am I the only one who finds it absurd that the US government seeks to punish a comedian for a joke, yet ignores a presidential threat to demolish an entire civilisation?

Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.

Just a friendly reminder to surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, theatre, bakery, bookstore, and café.

Well done Premier League. You will get your Champions. You get held hostage and fail to punish them. They’ll sign another bunch of players and win again next season. La la la. And it’s all so great for football.

Just not good enough.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do. When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide. We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

Not that long ago, this would have had serious consequences for a number of people at Fifa. Today? Water off a duck's back. The problem is not just corruption, but how it is now felt that corruption is the default modus operandi of corporations and governments. In other words, "normal". It is not.

Not What They’re Paid For. 💣🎀

Threatening war crimes and mocking Islam isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness. The PM should rule out UK forces and airfields being used for any attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure. What more will it take for Starmer to call off the Royal Visit Trump craves?

I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Arsenal players being criticised for playing for England and for not playing for England. 🙃

I hate to be that guy but using an open handed strike with the heel of your hand is likely to result in fewer broken hands.

BREAKING: The Irish Prime Minister defends Keir Starmer as Donald Trump repeats he is "not Winston Churchill" "Starmer has done a lot to reset the Irish-British relationship. I do believe he is a very earnest person whom you have a capacity to get on with"

An Irish PM defending a British PM in the oval office on St Paddys day....Trump really has lost it.

Who has laid on a bed of nails and torn their own fingernails out in shame because Arsenal dare to be top of the league playing in such a beastly way? If not, chirpier options are available. Here's Handbrake Off, with @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social and @gunnerblog.bsky.social pod.fo/e/39d63f
