Only 4th March, but Arsenal have already played the same number of games they played in the whole of their 2021/22 season. Here is how their records for the two sets of 45 games compare.
Thank you Jamie, always a brilliant listen, and we're lucky to have you and Tim doing it.
As a colourblind man, I have to say I am very relieved we were wearing the white kit today.
The latter is already happening. Every government transparency release is now leading to dozens of identical automated requests for e.g. the agenda, briefing notes, minutes, etc. for every declared ministerial meeting, each one of which still needs to be processed, even if the material is exempt.
Indeed. "Did you feel sickened after fully celebrating two goals yesterday that were then ripped away from you? Do you want to feel that way on such a regular basis that you won't ever fully celebrate again? Welcome to VAR." At the very least, if we must do this, let's do an NFL-style review system.
For the #arsecastextra, @arseblog.com and @gunnerblog.bsky.social, if a magic genie granted you a wish to finish above one club this season, who - right now - would you choose?
The quotes confirm what we all feared, every 38-year-old dude in America listens to Arsenal podcasts
Vicky Lopez must drive her team-mates absolutely mad.
Just thought you might want to know what the 'legal definition' is, as opposed to what you were presenting as the 'usual definition'.
That was the year that Robson & Jerome dominated the best-selling singles chart, spending a combined eleven weeks at No.1 with Unchained Melody and I Believe, compared to just one for Oasis from the releases of Some Might Say, Roll With It, and Wonderwall.
The Top 25 teams in English football in terms of average home attendance over the course of the 2024/25 league season. For the second season running, Arsenal are the only club to have two teams in the list.
Outside of the top four, are there any current WSL players who've particularly impressed you this season that you'd like to see us go after to raise the quality of our squad and challenge for the first team, in the way that Daphne von Domselaar did last summer.
Walking round the house this evening singing cup final songs, it occurred to me that 'We're the famous Arsenal, and we're going to Wembley' is a nice fit for 'She's the famous Mariona, Mariona Caldentey'. That may come in handy during the merry month ahead.
Semi against French champions?
Final against Barcelona?
Joint trophy parade?
It'll be the 60th anniversary of Cathy Come Home next year; this is not a new thing.
Chelsea may be cruising to an invincible WSL title, but facts are facts: if it wasn't for Emily Heaslip's dodgy penalty decisions vs Arsenal and Kirsty Dowle's fastest whistle in the west vs City, Renee Slegers' red army would now be top.
If it was all square in the last minute of the Champions League final, and everyone was fit, which of the current squad would you want: (a) running through one-on-one with the keeper; (b) standing over a penalty; and (c) taking a free-kick 25 yards out (either side of goal you prefer)?
I was down a Dick Cavett rabbit hole on YouTube last night, and it struck me how much he looks like your man Martin McCann from Blue Lights.
At the age of 56, Vinny Samways remains the youngest man alive to win the FA Cup with Tottenham.
This is clearly right, but Kerolin coming on for Park also felt like City going for broke, and I thought - in that context - it was brave of Renee to take off KCC, trust Lia to run the midfield on her own, and keep all of our goal threat on the pitch.
You can't start a haiku like that and not give us the rest.
You're absolutely right, of course, but nevertheless - after you said this - it was nailed on that we would lose today thanks to a shit decision that VAR would have overturned.
When I first saw this headline, I thought it said 'Kemp's fury', which is just about plausible, and would have made a much more enjoyable story.
One of the big practical differences the Mrs Duffy moment made was preventing GB from ambushing Cameron on VAT at the final debate - 'I'm standing here and ruling out an increase in the standard rate of VAT in the next Parliament, will you do the same?' - which had been the plan pre-Rochdale.
The united and spontaneous 'Waaaayyyy' that follows the breaking of a glass, the lights going out, or someone falling on their arse, at any British gathering of any size.
The stockpile is around 250m tonnes now, but just nine years ago, it stood at more than 286,642 tonnes. And that attrition is due to 'environmental factors', not the stockpile being used.
By my count, Alex Burghart will be the 39th person to appear at the despatch box at PMQs since the once-a-week era began in 1997, and Rayner vs Burghart will be the 21st different PMQs match-up since the 2015 election (a good indicator of turmoil). There's still never been an all-female match-up.
30 years old next March that quote, 30 years old!
