Noteworthy racism: DOJ/DHS said they arrested people from Liberia, Ghana, and Brazili for illegally voting. But they didn't mention the white South African, Lithuanian, Canadian, German, or Bosnian who they also arrested and charged.

This is peak “Liverpool Writer Headline”. Also maybe you guys shouldn’t have all thrown your support behind City in the title race with Arsenal last year

As an Arsenal fan, I absolutely love the timing of the City punishment. We won the title last year with no assistance from any City punishment, and thus no silly “asterisk” banter. Now, if they win this year? Welp, this punishment was a long time coming…

Before Saturday, Arsenal had not trailed by two goals in any of their last 72 Premier League games. The last time it happened (at Bournemouth) they played an hour with 10-men after William Saliba was sent off.

This is incredible, and really hitting me deeply right now. This should be a cathartic read for any parents actively organizing for better public schools in their community.

If I gave up three shots for 0.26 xG I would simply not allow them to hit two bangers if I were Arsenal. Dunno why they didn’t run the no bangers tactic.

People are going to overreact tremendously off the back of something that happens less than 1% of the time you play that exact half of football.

I sincerely believe that the only thing that Carrick brings to the table is that he seems like a relatively normal person. Which….i mean still a step up from most of the last decade of United management

I really, really struggle with the fact that so much of the fan base is here right now. If Saka puts up the numbers he’s been putting up all season he is a lock for Player of the Season. He had a couple games with bad misses. So have literally every legendary attacking player we want him to be.

Through 4 games, Bukayo Saka is tied for the lead in most goals, 4th in the league in xG/90, and 6th in the league in xGA/90. But seeing a whole lot of “Saka has been poor” and “Saka isn’t elite” on here. It’s wild.

Greg Basta @gregtbasta.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I am coming close to the point of declaring that many Arsenal fans do not deserve Bukayo Saka. Every fan saying he was poor today….like, man I don’t know, I watched a completely different game I guess.

The best film about 9/11 is only indirectly about 9/11. It is also IMO Spike Lee’s best film, period. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25th_Hour

This game is frustrating but my positive takeaway is that it is so much fun that we clearly have the old Odegaard back.

In college i had an awesome summer job doing maintenance work at a Catholic Church and catholic high school where I got to do demolition work and got paid REALLY well. But for the first 3 weeks of that job each summer I was….a high school janitor. And at age 20 that was VERY weird.

I feel ashamed that I was worried about this game beforehand. It goes to show that I still have not grown fully used to supporting the most unquestionably dominant team in the PL.

Two games in and we’re already gonna hear concern trolling about how Arsenal approach games despite the fact that even without Saliba they’ve played the first two games without allowing a single shot on target. As the saying goes, Defense wins championships, unless it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Liverpool are so resentful of Arsenal’s success that they have intentionally built a replacement-level defense just to insult them.

A reminder that Dolly Parton almost certainly wrote both “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” on the same day. She said it was probably the same day, but no more than a few days apart Really sit back and think about that for a minute

For multiple generations my family went to Seaside Heights during the summer and I was conditioned to believe that the boardwalk in Wildwood was Seaside’s weaker rival. This week my wife and Mom and I took my kids to Wildwood and I’m discovering that my family has been living a lie for decades.

Arsenal played that first half with the authority of champions. It feels like forever since they have looked so at ease in the moment. Of course it's a lot easier to have a bit of swagger in the Community Shield but this is who Arsenal should be in 2026-27.
