I get the odd thing from Arsenal but when on sale usually and I get a STH 10% off as well. I recently discovered that the adidas Swiss site often has sales of Arsenal stuff too

And we know kids will just pester parents to get the “latest” ones… a STH who sits with me travels to Asia for work regularly. He used to get his son shirts from there and I don’t blame anyone for doing that.

So since Wenger left us we’ve had 3 managers (one being caretaker in Freddie). In same time Chelsea have had 20 or so and Spurs have had 17. To put in context in our entire history we’ve had 28 I think…. Including caretakers…

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

Is there a single club that actually does reasonably priced stuff? I'm sure I read that Brentford keep their kits for 2 years at least. I find it truly repugnant that clubs produces so much stuff - 3rd kits, 4th kits, training wear, pre game stuff (European and home) etc...

So not sure if you have had this feedback but my Patreon feeds for both @arseblog.com and @football ramble.bsky.social have disappeared off Podcast App on Apple TV (TvOS 27.0). Still okay on iPad, iPhone, Mac though 🤷🤷

Apple’s amazing ability to shoot itself in the foot with podcasts as an app on Apple TV is pretty regular. Latest with TvOS 27 - the podcasts I follow don’t sync to rest if Apple universe so I currently have some with 1,500+ unplayed….

Remember when he came back from an international break having scored 3 or 4 goals and Arteta said "he had to play him upfront as his confidence was so high"... Mind you Viktor scored in all 4 games so let's play 4-4-2 😂

The Orange Cockwomble is pretty impressive... every day I think he surely can't say anything worse than he previously has and, yet.. he manages to on a regular basis

Econ 101
Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Too nice: do Arsenal lack the grit and tenacity to end WSL title drought?
Renée Slegers’ team have the technical ability to succeed, but doubts remain over the nastiness needed to rival Manchester City and Chelsea

Makes a change from the “good old days” when you paid cash at a turnstile and many clubs often under reported attendances for tax reasons or to have a fund for dodgy payments to players (pre max wage abolition)…
