Never fails to amaze me how Bernardo Silva has been in our league for years and has never had articles written about what an absolute shithouse he is.

Sneaky late challenges, dives, stud rakes, dissent, the absolute bingo card of stuff the press clutch their pearls about, but nothing.

Leandro Trossard registered his 20th Premier League assist for Arsenal bringing him level with Gabriel Martinelli and Andrey Arshavin.

Arsenal have allowed four shots on target across their last five Premier League games.

18 teams have conceded four or more *goals* across their last five Premier League games.

Arsenal have 25 points this season. They have earned that many points in four previous Premier League campaigns after 10 matches:

27 - 2022-23 - finished 2nd
26 - 2007-08 - finished 3rd
25 - 2004-05 - finished 2nd
25 - 2013-14 - finished 4th

There's a long way to go!

Arsenal have gone 11 hours and 26 minutes since they last conceded a goal in any competition.

This Arsenal side have now matched George Graham’s famous team, who hold the club record for the most successive wins without conceding in all competitions - seven between September and October 1987.

Arsenal have gone 15 games from the start of the season, conceding just three goals - the outright best defensive start to a campaign by any English club in history after 15 matches.

America’s not making anything anymore, it’s just merging itself into oblivion.

BBC reporting that Arsenal-Palace will “most likely” be played on December 16th. Talks between EFL and clubs ongoing, but no other midweek slot available.

Would mean Palace playing Sunday vs City, then Tuesday vs Arsenal, then Thursday vs KuPS.

Arsenal played 6 matches in October.

6 wins. 6 clean sheets. 12 scored.

First club in English top flight history to do it.

Harriman-Anous, 17 yo striker!

The fact there are still official UK government accounts using that platform is unbelievable. They wouldn’t even need to make a big song and dance about it. Just say we are crossposting to Threads and Bluesky as people are also using those. Incredibly grim.

I was always certain taking Arseblog off Twitter was the right thing to do, but stuff like this makes me very happy I did.

This is a deranged billionaire unaccountable to anyone using his platform to incite violence. Grim.

Tony Pulis column: 'I was seen as a dinosaur but I don't see many managers moaning about set-pieces now' In his first BBC Sport column, Tony Pulis looks at the rise in set-piece goals this season and explains why he always thought they were important and how focusing on them is nothing new.

This is such conflationary nonsense. Pulis bangs on about how Wenger hated playing Stoke because of set pieces and that's the reason Stoke were reviled.

Nope. It was the fact you l, quite successfully, sent cloggers out to kick the shit out of opposition. Dinosaur.

No team in the Premier League this season has had fewer touches in their defensive third than Arsenal.

Neanderthals like Dan smith and ryan Shawcross took careers from some of our best and brightest young players while pundits called us soft. They can all, respectfully, go fuck themselves now with their pantomime pining for dainty, flowing football.

Against Palace, Arsenal named an unchanged Premier League starting XI for the first time since September 2024 (versus Leicester). The Gunners have now won their last seven Premier League games when they’ve named the same XI as the previous game.

"Painfully dull" Arsenal currently have:

🔺 Highest defensive line in the Premier League
🔺 Most touches in the opposition penalty area
🔺 Most shot-creating actions in the league
🔺 Second-most goals + third-most total shots

With Havertz, Madueke and Odegaard all injured.

Deleted. What was it?

Do 22/23 too then!

Not sure what felt more predictable: an Eze goal or a set-piece.

We got both.

Yeah, it was too hard. He had to take half a second to just control it, which made it harder to get a good shot away.

This is the Terrorball we were promised in the midweek.

Gabriel Martinelli has now scored as many goals for Arsenal in European competition as Alexis Sanchez (10).

#ARSATM

That was for Arsene and Koscielny’s Achilles.

Arsenal 4 Atletico Madrid 0

This is Arsenal’s 9th clean sheet of the season.

They have played 12 matches.

It took them until December to have the 9th clean sheet last season coming after 21 matches played.
