I just want some tech stuff and a lot of Arsenal related content, without idiots and bigots, getting involved..

So from a purely statistical standpoint, they had practised that specific kick 233 times prior to him scoring. And as Hjulmand told it, his stats guy on the bench had whispered in his ear just before the kick, that he had a 30% success rate. (Picture from Hjulmand's presentation of the data)

For the first time since the Second World War, the far right will form a government in Germany. But the rot in Saxony-Anhalt stems from decades of neglect. dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...

Hahahahahahah oh you fuckers deserve this…. Weird how a financially doped team doesn’t seem to be playing on an even playing field🤷🏻‍♂️ As much as I hate PSG, I hope they gut that sham of a club and put ten past them…

What possible motive is there for the PL to conspire to create false allegations & launch a witch-hunt against Man City when any potential outcome can only do irreparable damage to their own product & reputation? Even if/when any appeal fails, the PL don’t ‘win’ here.

Sham City CEO Ferran Soriano statement: “The whole Premier League case against us is based on a single false accusation.” Sure, try harder buddy...

"The red cartel" 30 years: How long Liverpool went between league titles. 22 years: How long Arsenal went between league titles. 13 years: How long since Man Utd's last league title. 13 years: How long Man City went between finishing 3rd in Division Two, and winning the Premier League.

As I have absorbed more opinions about the City charges, this remains the biggest issue for me. City’s ownership have given the finger to the League and said you can’t govern me. This is the breach that is most deserving of a major punishment

Sunderland took an average of 22.5 seconds per throw in. They had 12 that took longer than 20 seconds, 5 that took longer than 30 seconds, and 3 that took longer than 40 seconds.

You'll struggle to find a more one sided 1-0 victory. Very impressive from Arsenal, who absolutely bullied the second best team in Italy. We should have won by a cricket score. Odegaard terrific. (Graph from BBC Sport)

Is the Champions League using a different ball than the Premier League?? Not a single Arsenal player has been able to shoot straight tonight. They’ve all been hitting row Z with every single shot

PSG have 7 different Ballon d'Or nominees who played less than 50% of league minutes: Kvara: 48.3% Hakimi: 44.9% Neves: 42.1% Mendes: 41% Ruiz: 37% Dembéle: 34.7% Marquinhos: 34.4%

VG needs to do so much better… He’s alone with a tired defender and decides to turn around and loses the ball cheaply. He’s brought on for exactly his capacity for running and his strength

It is probably just that I haven’t seen him play all that much, but Konsa has something about his movements that make me uneasy… Can’t quite put my finger on what it is, but I’m not at ease when he’s on the ball

Suuuuch a weird(plain wrong) call to not give Palmer the obvious yellow card.. Instead he is able to drag back Kai and only be on a yellow card and avoid the sending off

The Everton v United match resembles a youth match at times, loooots of long kicks and the ball just getting bounced all over.. Space between the lines have been poorly covered from both sides, giving it a chaotic feel while still not producing any good chances

The game has been slow and yet still full of miscommunication and miss hit passes.. Not sure why but seems like some of the new drills run by Arsenal are still half cooked

Bournemouth simply cannot handle the pace that City is attacking them with.. Instead of shifting their lines, to compensate, they are still sprinting backwards and losing every running duel after 15min. What is the manager and coaches doing???

I feel bad for The Arsenal players doing everything they can to start the season well, and entertain the fans, yet half the fucking stadium is gone 15 minutes before the final whistle goes…

People leaving the opening match on a Friday night, before the 80 minute mark, should have to write a statement explaining their reason… And if the fan community didn’t accept it, they revoke the season ticket and give it to people who want to actually support the team.

Weird how having your attackers fit and available provides good attacking football and goals… Who would have thought it could be as simple as that, definitely not any pundit all of last season
