No joke. Homeschooling should be illegal.
Great lead headline right now, @nytimes.com.
Was always gonna be super hard that one imo. Basically asking Palace to relegate themselves for £35m. Glasner would have been well within his right to quit on the spot if #CPFC had done that to him. THINK chance happens in Jan depending on Palace league state&squad health etc
BREAKING About 2,000 North Korean troops killed in Russia deployment, says Seoul spy agency
All the tribalism aside and I know a small incident after the Chelski fixture with him and Glasner but... Marc Guehi did carry himself much much better than most of the "pros" during this transfer window. Props to him for that.
Offloading Vieira, Nelson, Zinchenko, and Lokonga is probably 15-17M in saved wages this season, plus fees. It’s a rather decent take for advertised, compromised castoffs - and good work from Berta (no matter what people say about us being “bad at selling”).
Seems bad
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
That’s what I’m saying mate - gonna take me, personally, a couple days to fully catch up and figure out where all the chips finally landed! Btw…was never gonna happen but would have loved to see NUFC/PIF flex their muscles and make Isak rot. Could have ruined his career,he’d have soon changed tune!

I don’t like it much either…for opposite reason…it IS close to the word ‘agenda’…but it’s a cop out. Many DO have an agenda, ranging from ‘Part of the 80/90s/00s LFC or MUFC media mafia who just hate Arsenal’, to the ‘Arsenal have unrivaled online presence&are the best clicks/engagement target’

For all the Jake Tapper jokes, it is pretty unusual when someone writes a book on a topic to not be booked to opine as an “expert” when almost the exact same situation is very relevant again. Jesus, Woodward and Bernstein are still dragged out to comment on every presidential scandal.
They're going to get multi club ownership banned entirely (which I fully support)
Guehi will start every week and captain Palace in a World Cup year and then leave for free, probably securing an 8-figure signing on fee next summer as a result. Don't get this feeling sorry for him stuff at all. He's 25 not in his 30s with one last chance.
United bought Antony for €95m Sold today for €22m just three years later.
I've already imagined Fabio and Sambi moaning about Mikel in the Hamburger dressing room btw. Crazy guy, super intense...😂
Prob gonna take me a few days to figure out where everyone ended up after today!😂 Akanji leaving Citeh is a weird one, on face of it! Has Martinez made it to United? Villa seemingly hampered by their out of control salary:income ratio? Not sure quite what NUFC doing? LFC 400m spent?! CFC 300m sold?!
I am sad that we may never be able to see Antony, and Onana 😭
As opposed toooooo???? Them not playing ANY football for a whole season?? Yep, that would boost their value! Reiss not a good buy, expensive&dreadful fitness record. Until he can prove he can play 30games a season, he’s unsellable. Once he does, someone will pay because he is talented.
If Garnacho was given as Onside Eric Ten Hag would still be manager at Bayer Leverkusen. 😕
True. This is just the variance/chaos of the transfer window. Players&clubs prioritize,&then there’s also the late dominos that fall. #CPFC could not afford at all to lose Eze AND Guehi without replacing either. Prob not resources to replace Guehi JUST in case #LFC show up with a bag at last minute.
Surely ‘Presenter of the Year’ belongs to @GaryLineker at this year's National Television Awards? He’s hosted his last MOTD Lovely followers, you know what to do: 👉 Vote here: nationaltvawards.com/vote 🗓️ Deadline: 12th September
Mad how Gabriel Jesus doesn't even get mentioned when people remember to note all the Arsenal players out injured.
Hearing Guehi move to #LFC may fall though? Made a bunch of sense from Liverpool perspective, but #CPFC would be basically signing their own prem league death certificate if they let him go now. Prem money&status worth WAY more than combined Eze/Guehi transfer £. Deal needed to happen way earlier.
Presumably Uefa will just say it's all fine and a "blind trust" will be OK when inevitably Strasbourg and Chelsea end in the same competition
Marmoush made sense…but like even Cherki a BIT of an odd Pep signing imo. Just wondering what their plan really is?🤷♂️ Anyway, very happy for them to be shit!😂😂
This was NOT an attacking game yesterday,neither team. But the narratives are INSANE&an excellent illustration of the collapse in ‘MSM’ sports punditry/journalism. Basically,other than scoring a goal,virtually every attacking stat is, weakly,in Arsenal’s favour. It’s why fan media is growing so fast
Napoleon Bonaparte — 'I know he's a good general, but is he lucky?' I used to think this about Wenger and I tend to feel the same way about Arteta. I felt the same way about Klopp. Their teams seem to have to be so much better to win anything and even then it's often not enough.
During Jim Crow, many states mandated that anyone seeking to register to vote or apply to a state university had to have multiple voters/alumni “vouch” for their character. It was an easy if unsubtle way to maintain all-white (or mostly-white) institutions
If I’m Glasner, I’m quitting TODAY. #CPFC have basically relegated themselves…¬ even for the amount of money they’d earn from just being IN the premier league. Great club, top fanbase, I’m sad for them but Glasner should just quit - they quit on him first!
Tom now, Tom forever.
Truth be told,if LFC don’t win every single trophy it’s p.bad from them. Already Champions&have spent well over £400m (!!!!) on additions this summer. Good for them, but it’s mad!😂Somehow though,traditional media/journos wont mention it once…but Arteta will be a ‘failure’ if he doesnt win league?!😂
Absolutely unbelievable window for Liverpool this. They've got really good cover at CB now along with the rest of the things they've done. There's no excuse for them, it makes them favourites for every major tournament if they were not already.
This is actually an all-timer window for Liverpool. Few pieces to put together yet but two blockbuster signings, refreshed their full backs, invested in youth, sold well and Guehi protects them at centre back. They’ve changed their whole side in one summer.
Anything other than LiVARpool winning the quadruple, it would be a complete and utter failure of a season ⬇️⬇️⬇️ £130 million on Isak £115 million on Wirtz £79 million on Ekitike £40 million on Kerkez £29.5 million on Frimpong £26 million on Leoni £35 million on Guehi £454.5 million spent 🤯
I would probably be more concerned if I had, hypothetically, paid £200m for attackers and was 12th in npxG after three matches (two at home), or hypothetically again, third bottom after three when I’d played Burnley and Bournemouth. Oh, and all with largely full strength attacks. Hypothetically.
The second one in a row mate! Pep is evolving into something new/dofferent…BUT got to say I find it a bit weird! On one hand Donnerumma is reason we didn’t win CL last season…but on other he has feet like sledgehammers, which is SO ‘unPep’…obviously I hope it goes TERRIBLY for them!!😂😂😂
Alexander Isak has missed 39 games for Newcastle and Sweden since the 22/23 season. I expect him to never be injured ever again now he is at Liverpool.
This nails yesterday damn near perfectly. And the mainstream media wonders why many of us have fled traditional, knee-jerk punditry for other, more considered, writers.
Labour are also REALLY shit at comms. Things like this are getting totally eclipsed by the flag nonsense and the phoney ECHR debate.
Gary Lineker is up for "Presenter of the Year" at this year's National TV Awards. I can imagine that if he won it would "ruffle a few feathers". It's alright, you can skip past Mrs Brown's Boys. You know you want to. Vote here. nationaltvawards.com/vote

You know what, credit to Leverkusen for sacking Ten Hag now before there was an even bigger mess to clean up. Obviously every decision that brought them here was terrible but better to try to correct course immediately than stubbornly stick with something that isn't going to work.

The most confusing part of this whole narrative for me is it somehow suggests that winning at Anfield is something Arsenal should be doing. As if they're not the champions, playing at home, and actually teams should just try to beat them and it'd all work out.
BTW that gold kit by Palace looks fucking SICK 👌
Some bright spots. Mosquera and Timber were both fantastic. First glimpse of Eze had a couple of sparks. Long season ahead and if we can avoid three hundred more injuries we will be okay.
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.

My daughter went off to college last week and I miss her terribly but at least there’s one less person in the house who I have to pretend to be nice to right now.
Yeah Ton', it's me. That thing with Rudy? Taken care of.
All the people who give Arsenal grief for winning via set pieces are surprisingly quiet when Liverpool have won a match on a free kick despite taking fewer shots, generating less xG, and having fewer touches in the opposing box. Odd, that.
They better run away with the league with what they’ve spent on top of already being the title-holders. Massive, all-time failure if they don’t. Let’s see if they are held to the standard.* *they won’t be
A Supreme Court justice or two
The ad placement here is … concerning.
Scored 5 goals last week. Had more shots than Liverpool today, more touches in the opposition box and a higher xG. There is just no basis in reality for his comments and someone needs to ask him if he needs a doctor or therapist..
wow
This fool gets paid to write about football. Again,another example of why so called ‘MSM’ sports media&journalism is fast dying. Lazy, tail wags dog,narrative seeking,fact devoid,inch deep nonsense. Fan led media is so much better. It’s more authentic,more insightful&often better sourced.
Isak going to Liverpool was always happening, not sure why it took this long - guess both clubs needed to play the game at various points. Difficult not to feel discouraged by that; he's the best centre forward around and (when fit) makes Liverpool much stronger.
All totally true. I hold no animosity toward #LFC at all. They’re rivals, but there’s no hate. Their club values remind me a lot of #Arsenal ‘s. That said, if luck counts, then just give them the trophies now, because they are on an insane run of luck.
Liverpool have a formidable squad and they’re easily favorites for the title. Setting aside bitterness and tribalism, it’s impressive how well they’ve managed to stay competitive at the top of the PL for so long now. But they still have vulnerabilities & luck will play a big part
They saw all their £82m guy was capable of against real competition and decided they’d better go get a £130m guy, can’t fault it
I bet he thinks climate change is a hoax, earth is flat and owns a M**GA hat.
He is 100% correct and do you know what will happen? Robinson will be sanctioned.
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
Enoch Powell's 'rivers of blood' speech was a defining point for the Tories, the right & racism. Ted Heath as Tory leader fired Powell from the party's frontbench. Now over 50 years later the UK right is way past the cesspit that was Powell's speech.
A lot of pundits seem to simultaneously believe that Liverpool are the favourites to win the league and Arteta must win it or he is a failure, which would only make sense if Arsenal were the favourites.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Cringed so hard while reading this terrific @jessicaelgot.bsky.social story I think I ruptured something. Who at GMG do I need to sue?
Any critique of Arteta playing a cagey gameplan would have to be levelled at Slot, who did the same — except with all his best players, at Anfield. Anything else is post hoc fallacy.
India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.
Ah fuck my lawyer got drunk & kidnapped a woman & then her husband went to save her but he hit my lawyer’s car from behind when my lawyer slammed on the brakes to pull in to a gas station to buy boner pills 🇺🇸🗽
I’m done taking the bait regarding whatever narrative Sky want to set. But I’ll end with this: Liverpool come to the emirates later this season without Salah. And I’ll be very curious to see how many times that’s brought up ahead of (and after) that match.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
It’s also so ingrained that this is our steady state, to be wildly shorthanded, that the punditry no longer has to acknowledge it as a factor. Thus, the effective bar we have to reach to accommodate their puerile benchmarks is made impossibly higher.
This is it…all the facts around shots, xG, balance of play, injuries ravaging team are all true…and yet I don’t think they matter as much as Mikel just being a DEEPLY unlucky manager. Is he a Jonah?! The greats always got a flash of fortune in big moments…Mikel NEVER has…he gets the opposite.
But NEVER #Arsenal That’s the problem. Is Mikel unlucky, or a pussyhole? I hope it’s the second (fixable), but I fear it’s the first at this point. Mikel gets NO luck at all when it matters. That is a problem. The greats always got run of green, Mikel gets the opposite.
So ONE player playing out of position,have also spent well over £200m&still needed a 0.02xG dead ball worldie to beat a team missing 4 of its best 5/6 players?😬LFC’s luck HAS to run out eventually. Have 9 pts&have had BIG slices of luck in every one of those games. BUT tbf,luck IS a part of the game
I didn’t see Saliba, Saka, Havertz, MØ flopping to the ground?? What I would give to play LFC without VVD, Salah, Gakpo/Ekitike and Wirtz/Zslob…you’d know, LFC only play injury ravaged Arsenal teams.
Mate none of that is excuses or opinions, it’s counting. The only ‘opinions’ here is that somehow the team with all the better attacking stats were somehow particularly defensive? BOTH teams defended well&as is often case,a marginal moment splits it.
I just want one game where we square up mostly full strength. And we don’t get that measure so we are stuck with these variance-heavy yardsticks and they only tell us that when we aren’t at our best we aren’t at our best. No shit. It’s ridiculously frustrating.
Liverpool played just as cautious as Arsenal, they scored one of the best individual goals you'll see all season. Arsenal went to Anfield without their best player & best striker, with their captain on the bench, and then lost their world-class CB in five minutes, and only lost because of a worldie.
Arsenal have managed just nine shots on target so far this season out of 38 attempts. Liverpool have managed 17 on target from 33 attempts. #LIVARS
Arsenal had more shots, more touches in the opposition box and a higher xG. It was marginal, but it is a fact. But sure, only one team 'came to play'
lol. No we won’t. Fucking Renee Slegers will probably be having to play in goal at that point because David Raya will probably be our only fit senior squad player. Sometimes you have an ‘unlucky General’…Mikel might just be a Jonah🤷♂️🤷♂️ You don’t get anywhere without ANY luck&Arsenal have zero.
He was shit and he and Arsenal ideally need him gone. Most ‘Space Jammed’ talent I’ve ever seen. Love the kid but fuck me he needs to leave for his own good. Shame is that the market also thinks he’s lost all his talent too. Willing runner so he can be used as ‘fodder’ through season.
This is legit Baghdad Bob or North Korean levels of deranged. The pro-regime spokespeople are completely delulu. I can’t under how any human being would debase themselves in this way, or find such delusions persuasive.
NEITHER team were ‘good’ today BUT Arsenal played most the game without 4 of their best 5/6 players, went away to champs, had more shots&more xG,&only lost to a 0.002xG set piece. The lazy, tail wags dog standard of punditry is why ‘MSM’ coverage is dying fast vs fan/independent media.
Well…also he played against a lost twit today who did precisely nothing to test him. Martinelli is dead for Arsenal imo. Just a shame the market thinks so too,he&we need out, but cant. He’s a willing runner so Squad can still ‘use’ him as fodder,but he can’t pass,dribble or shoot🤷♂️
Eberechi Eze had 13 touches after he came on as a replacement for Gabriel Martinelli who had just 15 in his 70 minutes on the pitch. #LIVARS
Can #Arsenal sell Martinelli in the next 10 hours? Lad has basically forgotten how to pass,dribble&shoot. The most ‘Space Jammed’ player ever. Real shame. Tbh, I think he’d actually fit in MILES better at #LFC ! He needs a restart&they’d suit him really well stylistically&culturally (similar to AFC)
Sadly, it ain’t mate.
