Is it just me, or does Paul Robinson sound a bit like Alan Shearer at the start here?

Your friend and mine @maxrads.bsky.social being Absolutely Correct on the other place

A tweet from Max Radwan about Arsenal. It says: Think we’ve seen in the last few weeks why going far in the cups is detrimental if you don’t go all the way. A ball hasn’t been kicked in the title race since we went nine clear and yet the vibes have completely shifted because we’ve gone out of two comps since.

My favourite thing about cow tools being real is this image being a real image from an academic paper

A drawing of a cow, with an orange rectangle highlighting and the top of it and a green rectangle highlighting the bottom. To the left is a key, which tells the viewers orange means "top" and green means "bottom"

The two possible states of the Arsenal fan

Screenshot of a whatsapp group chat talking about Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal. Manas said: "Felt we did enough today, that was a disgusting defensive show from Forest". Jake said: "We're unwatchable bollocks. I can't stand this season"

I made this for the Twitter post, but it's not needed over here as bsky doesn't throttle external links. HOWEVER, it is (in Seb's words not mine) "sensational", so you can have it anyway. (Please listen to the pod)

10+ corner returns you say? @setpiecesicko.bsky.social goated (Full article: open.substack.com/pub/potshotp...)

"The return of Saka and the resurrection of Martinelly has perhaps swayed me towards dreams of 10+ corner returns" - Jake, in his latest article for Pot Shot

Hehehehehe it's great when I know exactly which of these circles is me

A map of the UK showing where the surname "Towells" is from. Mostly very specifically in the South West area I grew up in. This is not a shock; AFAIK (from another one of these things) there's only about 188 people with my surname in the whole world according to forebears.io

Big fan of the "expertise" field

Everyone: hey did Musk just do a fucking nazi salute on stage at Trump's inauguration The BBC: What nazi salute? I didn't see no nazi salute. Just an enthusiastic guy :D

From the BBC News app's live reporting on Trump's inauguration:

"Our eyes now turn to the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, DC, where President Donald Trump will travel to shortly to greet his supporters at a parade in the stadium.

The place has gone wild for Elon Musk and Kash Patel, who are already at the arena, with the crowd applauding every time they are shown on screen.

First to speak on stage is an animated Elon Musk, who says Trump's win is "no ordinary victory, this was a fork in the road of human civilisation" - adding "this one really mattered".

He thanks supporters for "making it happen", saying the "future of civilisation is assured".

He says now there will be safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending, "and we're gonna take Doge to Mars."

Kash Patel, Trump's pick for FBI director, is next up.

He says: "We are at a crossroads here in America, but our future is bright"."

I am the smartest arsenal analyst

Me saying "don't need attacking subs when we're going 1-0 up and coasting" before the Arsenal game, in which they went 1-0 up and coasted

The idea for the article can be traced back to this tweet by Adam, which sparked some discourse a couple of weeks ago (I'm fashionably late). Martinelli's 22/23 & 23/24 underlying numbers being so similar threw me for a loop. Here's how I squared that circle in the piece: bsky.app/profile/adam...
