Cool. I seem to remember thinking about doing something similar about walls back in the good old days of Twitter. But I never got around to doing it. I look forward to the next collection of bricks.

Arteta: Continuing at Arsenal is a privilege
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal future has been secured with the contract extension that was announced earlier today. The Spaniard took over in 2019, with a club in the doldrums, but after years of hard work…

Mikel Merino doing Merino things and Eze getting a solid 90 minutes as he prepares to take over from Tzolis can only be good. Wednesday morning thoughts on the options opening up for Arteta. www.suburbangooners.com/2026/10/07/t...

Another goal for Big Vik will do him the world of good ahead of this Saturday's lunchtime kick off against Leeds. Some thoughts on that and our set piece situation, after Calafiori bagged himself a goal from one on international duty. www.suburbangooners.com/2026/10/06/g...

Gyökeres has a swagger, and Arsenal’s set pieces will come again
We had ourselves some Arsenal goalscorers again last night and, just as I’d hoped for, Big Vik was once again in amongst it. It was another proper tap-in poachers goal, but at this point, I d…

I'm going a wee bit stronger than 'highly likely'. And the story is too familiar. WSL we need to come out the blocks sprinting. We come out like we're going for a pleasant stroll. WSL season is over for us.

Doc them points along the same ratio as Everton. That means they owe 560 points or so, no matter what league they are in. Means they plummet to the bottom regardless.
