Amazing example of a number being both historically low and unfathomably high

Great piece and analysis. I think Eze is going to have to find his rhythm on the left. Signs were promising against Villa, but selling both Trossard & Martinelli with only Tzolis in can only be described as a calculated gamble, which could well be rational given the prices for not-elite alternatives

I know he's a high quality player, but swapping a guy who loves Arsenal, always puts in a shift and doesn't want to leave for a self-interested troublemaker doesn't feel great to me.

Astonishing to think that, in order to become mayor, he not only had to fight the Republicans and the Murdoch press, but also his own political party...

Feel so sad for ESR. I think his performances have probably vindicated his sale, but at the same time if he's at a better club his performances would be so much better too...

Fuss about melons tells us much about our politics. None of it good
This week, with the return of parliament, any debate has largely been drowned out by discussion of two melons.

In Australia, I do think it is more taboo to accuse a racist of being racist than it is to actually be racist

He was getting upset at being affiliated with the Labour Party, but the reality is that nothing could be more Labour than being very angry at the Greens

It just seems like more face-saving, market-manipulating slop, as per normal and consistently accurately reported by @meidastouch.com. He needed a way to pretend to have an outcome to avoid following through on his genocidal threats (thank goodness) and to pump the markets a bit.

The depressing part for me is even if we score that early Havertz chance, I still think there's a very strong chance the game pans out similarly (Arsenal camped at the back until the dam bursts and City score).

Every unit of sunshine that hits earth is precisely $0. It’s literally insane that we know that fact and allow a profiteering scheme to tell us that’s not good enough and charge us for an alternative that literally kills us.

If you could go back & rotate for the Chelsea game, to have a fresher XI vs Forest, would you do it? I feel like we probably win vs Forest without the midweek game, but also probably don't beat Chelsea. But arguably we got the optimal outcome, gaining ground in both comps? @gunnerblog #arsecastextra

I can't remember a season where the mismatch between my emotions and what the numbers say has been so great. Also have to ask, wasn't Emery's Villa doing what they did the most Emery thing ever?

It's so miserable that the US is still breaking international law and slaughtering innocent people for oil, in 2025, when we have the technology and resources to transition to renewables for good. It's absolute hell that we are being led by such close minded, regressive imbeciles.

I will say again what my reporting at PROOF has established since 2021: What happened today in Caracas was a long time coming, and had nothing to do with drug trafficking, illegal immigration or undemocratic votes in South America. This happened because of who Donald Trump is and what he aims to do.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Agree! If any of those early Arsenal chances went in, it had the potential to be one of the most enjoyable games of the season so far. As it turned out, it was (for me) horrible up until the 2nd Arsenal goal. I think the injustice was a huge part of that

Raja Dasgupta @rajadasgupta.bsky.social · 28/09/2025
True but the fact that Liverpool almost escaped from that game with a draw also seems far fetched. The number of last minute winners they've had this season is also bonkers. I guess sometimes an aura needs to be broken before statistical normalcy can prevail. I hope Palace have done that

100%. Also if it is disproportionately benefitting better-off households it's quite literally testament to the informal and formal barriers in place to getting a proper diagnosis (generally over a year to see a ped. following other consultations). It is a sign that poorer kids are being let down.

Being in a terrible time zone I have to watch the game 'as live' hours after it ends. But I've really missed the ritual of seeing out a nervous win with a coffee, switching on my phone and then reading your panicked posts on Blue Sky! Possibly justified this time though. Great to have football back.

I do strongly support this, but also question why no-one seems to care as much about the sponsorship of Arsenal by the Government of Dubai - an Emirate that has been heavily and very credibly linked to state sponsored modern day slavery. I mean... even the name of our stadium!

Filipkowski: I believe we’re worse off now—and we don’t even know for sure that Iran was moving toward developing a nuclear weapon before this. They certainly will be now. They now know, definitively, that the only way to deter Israel and the U.S. is to have a nuclear deterrent themselves.

This is also mind-blowingly idiotic because now if they do rapidly rebuild and in fact accelerate that capability (likely after what has happened), he can't challenge them on this without completely undermining himself.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.
