It's bait. Criticizing Arsenal will get a lot more views and engagement.

Compare to Jonathan Wilson in the Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/27/arsenal-premier-league-title

"perhaps the greatest reason for Arsenal to feel optimistic is that last season it felt they had to play at their maximum just to stay in the race; this season, they are top of the table with a sense of more to come."

Similarly, the Arsenal Vision pod pointed out that facing more low blocks forces us to play in a less fluid/exciting way.

BBC - Arsenal's Lia Walti says club have 'built something huge with fans'

Love to see it:

"We've had every away game sold out so far this season I think which shows how much the club is doing all the right things to help the women's game grow"

Arseblog - an in-depth look at Arsenal Women's lack of ethnic diversity

This is a good long read on the issues around diversity in Women's football in England, and puts the recent furor over the Arsenal squad photo in context. I am once again in awe of Alex Scott for how she's managed to thrive in spite of the barriers she's had to push past.

Per BBC's Emma Sanders:

Jonas Eidevall on Gareth Taylor's 'bullying' claims: "I was really disappointed with the comments. There is no truth in them. The wording that Gareth used afterwards is borderline slander. Either he is not very good with the truth or he is not very good with the language."

That is 🥶​from Jonas considering he's Swedish

Catsenal - "unpredictable tactics vs Sheffield Utd"

Another good breakdown by the animated cat on the tactics employed by Arsenal last week.

Detailed as always, so slowing down playback might be a good idea.

7amkickoff's blog on the latest PGMOL fiasco is good:

https://7amkickoff.com/index.php/2023/11/05/attwell-and-madley-incompetence-and-cowardice-award-newcastle-three-points-at-arsenals-expense/

"The on-field official Stuart Attwell was dropped from the Premier League select group of officials in 2012. He was dropped because he’d made a string of high profile mistakes, which included losing control of several games and making some wild decisions"

Emma Hayes leaving Chelski at the end of the season. That should shake up the WSL

Analysis: Why have Arsenal Women struggled against deep defensive blocks this season?

From Tim Stillman: "The technical instability at centre-half and number 10 has made Arsenal less convincing in the exact area opposing defences have clogged up and targeted. This has meant a high number of crosses, with Arsenal averaging 35.3 per game so far this season, compared to 24.4 last season."

Guardian - Aaron Ramsdale - "I am suffering and hurting"

I do feel bad for him, and hope he gets to play a Champions League game at the very least.

This is so detailed and dense I had to slow down playback speed and mute audio 😂​ Note: Closed captions required unless you understand Korean

It's noticeable how many more staff #arsenal have. They had to break out the folding seats as the bench doesn't have room for all of them 😂​

[-] thatdosbox@mstdn.ca 6 points 1 year ago

@I_am_the_grass I hope so. We could then claim that Utd are just a feeder club for Arsenal 😉​

[-] thatdosbox@mstdn.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Always enjoy listening to Clive & Tim on the ArsenalVision pod. They made good points about fans getting on players backs before they've had a chance to find their feet - see Vieira. Going to need some patience with Havertz too, especially given how experimental our structure is at the moment.

@arsenalwfc Guardian: Alessia Russo’s firepower can shoot ambitious Arsenal to next level

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jul/05/alessia-russo-arsenal-free-transfer-manchester-united-wsl

I like this bit of shade on Utd:

"It is a move that has called into question United’s aptitude in contract negotiations and their ability to retain the best players."
