Arsenal’s Frida Maanum: ‘Every time I step on the pitch now I don’t take it for granted’
(www.theguardian.com)
I thought some more about a couple of the points I made in the post-match thread, having read and listened to some stuff about the post-match reactions from Silva, Stones, Guardiola etc.
All of this is GOOD. ManC are implicitly announcing that we are the proverbial bee's dick away from besting them. This reminds me of the Wenger and Ferguson, Vieira and Keane rivalry period. Instead of Pep and Co. patronising us at the end of matches, they now have to reach for anything they can to try and get an advantage over us. They are resorting to being happy they got a draw at home and bitching about our so-called "dark arts". Meh.
All this without MØ and Merino coming back PLUS Rodri out for the season.
I'm pretty excited to see what happens. Hopefully my optimism doesn't get crushed like a bug!
Despite being frustrated, I've learnt through the years of "suffering" to find some positives. There were actually many about this week, once I had a think.
- Away at ~~Topspurts~~ Hotspurts, Atalanta, Man City in the space of a week and playing on Thursday in Italy…we've done pretty well.
- All this with no Ødegaard (or Merino for that matter)
- We've definitely got in the heads of the blue side of Manchester. I def detect that their crowd knows how good we are. We are on their level, no doubt
- Defended superbly against The Best Team In The World™️ for 55 mins despite the shit interpretation of the laws of the game by the Howard Webb Referee Travelling Roadshow
- Califiori's banging debut goal
- Timber and Califiori at fullback at the same time. Looked great.
- Trossard only misses the Bolton game, I think
There's more, but I'll leave it there. This is so much better than the dark, dark Mustafi days.

1:30a kickoff, so I time-shifted this. I’m both very proud of the performance after getting shafted by the ref, but also fucking frustrated. You could tell that the ManC fans were scared of us.
As I said in the daily thread. “You have got to be shitting me” 🤦🏻♂️
You have got to be shitting me!
🚨🔴⚪️ Bad news for Arsenal as Mikel Merino is injured.
“He has a shoulder injury and it looks like he will be out for a few weeks”.
“He landed on the floor and Gabi landed on top of him, it's a fracture probably”, Arteta says
PSG, Shakhtar, Zagreb and Monaco at Emirates Stadium, Away: Inter, Atalanta, Lisbon and Girona
Hello Gooners. It’s probably understandable that it’s pretty hard to find a photo of HK with the official Bundesliga top goal scorer trophy, the Torjägerkanone. However, I did stumble across this photo of a January visit to a Bayern fan club, where they presented him with a kanone snuff box. I laughed.
Enjoy.
Today, I went to an event that was part of the Arsenal Australia (official supporter's club) national gathering. By chance, Joe Montemurro was at the venue, so I got to meet him briefly.
