@gunnerblog.bsky.social saying Danny Ings would have certainly come on for us if he were on our bench really hit me hard Hit hard, Like the vibes of waking up to the first day back at work after a long break @arseblog.com

Massive games coming up Liverpool have Villa and City I’m really pinning a lot of hopes on a big swing in the next 7 days If Liverpool get maximum points from those 2 fixtures, then begrudgingly, you have to say fair play to them

@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social Andrew, James Enjoyed the latest pod Did you realised that Your VAR stadium announcement impressions were also great impressions of Bane from Batman? Maybe that’s it. PGMOL is a Gotham crime syndicate,with Michael “Bane” Oliver determined to oppress Gooners

What’s happened this season feels like the pinnacle of bad luck & injustice combined I feel incredibly sad & frustrated -being so close yet denied by such factors is galling That said, the recruitment - that is in the club’s control & again, is found wanting. Too often we leave ourselves short

#Arsenal fans might be curious about who Sverre Nypan is, so here are some data comparisons to give you an idea regarding who he profiles well with/against. #AFC CC: @arsenalvisionpodcast.com @adam.cannonstats.com @clerkenwellgooner.bsky.social @shamsdale.bsky.social @tomcanton.bsky.social

Cunha I see lots of people immediately flipping to the view that it’s not a good signing if it either blocks a move in the summer and/or he’s too similar to Jesus / Trossard Now listen …

Thomas Partey MOTM A lot to unpick from that match - left hand side first half issues, 2nd half solutions - Nwaneri & Ode RHS combination delight - Saliba, Timber, Gabriel masterclass (again) Points when you’re under pressure & missing many key players? = CHARACTER on top of quality

Brentford best home record in the league , under the lights, shit weather and our two main goal scorers missing 😨 Need a strong battling performance tonight COYG

Very interesting vlog from Goldbridge on Utd this sort of commentary speaks more to media control of narrative in a general sense, not just Utd The likes of Neville get so “close” to certain individuals & bodies that their commentary loses a great deal of objectivity x.com/rationalarse...

Potential “realistic” Jan signing? Omar Marmoush 13 goals in 15 so far, 10 last season. 7 assists this season improving on 5 last Shooting accuracy only 50%, however combined goals & assists per 90 have more than doubled He’s shooting a LOT more: 64 taken this season; compared to 70 all of last

Potential “realistic” Jan signing? Santiago Gimenez More of a focal point than David, Gimenez is another showing signs of YoY development • increase in goals per 90 from 0.81 in 23/24 to 0.92 this season • shooting accuracy improved from 53% to 60% 6 goals in 9, on top of 23 in 32 last season

Potential “realistic” Jan signing? Jonathan David surprised to see the improvement in him • 23/24, averaged 0.63 goals per game. This season, he’s improved to 0.73 goals per game • shooting accuracy has improved from 61% in last season to 77% 11 goals in 15 games, building on 24 last term

Anyone have any tickets for Brentford away ? Appreciate any recommendations please

Kudus Do it Now

Jarrod Bowen going off cos he needs to be at Dino’s Cafe at 0530. ABOSH

Kudus Elite Buy Now

West Ham are genuinely the worst side I’ve seen this season And that’s before is saying something when you consider the likes of Southampton, Leicester, Spurs…

West Ham are awful We should go all in for Kudus in January and save him from the East London mess

Leicester have done well today. But for passing up 2-3 golden chances in the 2nd half, they could have taken something today Special mention for Stephen Mavididi. Really good showing. Good dribbling, always looking to attack the box, some nice passes and crosses.

Outstanding article on MLS’ mother and her journey becoming an agent and establishing No1Fan.club Like Saka, MLS is another academy graduate, grounded, supported by intelligent parents @clivepafc.bsky.social @arsenalvisionpodcast.com @arsenalvpodcast.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/article/f68b...

Does anyone have any tickets for Brentford away on New Years Day they are looking to sell please ?

Oh, can you imagine the banter when City are convicted !

Zinchenko, Tierney, Kiwior….which club needs a left back , that has an attacking asset we need ? Is there a deal to do that is mutually beneficial ? I still see Kudus as the ideal option for us. Awesome player that is a long-term bet worth taking A modern Sadio Mane

Merry Xmas @legrove.bsky.social @arsenalvisionpodcast.com @clivepafc.bsky.social @tim-stillman.bsky.social @arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social @poznaninmypants.bsky.social Another year of great pods, really appreciated - content that excels whether the matches delight or frustrate All the best
