You have to respect a club with one of the longest continuous top flight runs in England football, the most top flight seasons, and a decent trophy haul as well. Proper football history. And none of it came with Oligarch or Nation State money.

considering the budget bracket they've been in, feels like everton deserve more credit than they get for never once getting relegated in the premier league era. been close calls but not once did it go disastrously wrong in 34 years.

Hats off to saves at both ends tonight as well. A couple of really world class saves kept the score respectable.

Reaching out on LinkedIn to tell me you are an Arsenal supporter will make me look favourably upon your brand.

That was depressingly flat for most of the game. We did pick up the pressure towards the end, but too little, too late. Birmingham were happy to sit by then. I like Renee Slegers as a person, but I fear this might be the last straw as AWFC manager. #COYG #AWFC

One thing I can say, this new rule that you can't make a substitution to change the way your team is playing until after the 75th minute has really hampered us. Really wish it applied to other teams, and not just Arsenal. #COYG #AWFC

One of about 4 players trying to move the ball quickly and make an attacking play, and it pays off for her.

Just trying to think of the games where Stina has been dominant against that low block. But sure, let's do this for another 20 minutes. #COYG #AWFC

For fucks fucking sake.

I changed my message tone to "Good news everyone!" from Professor Farnsworth on Futurama, just for something different. That's going to enrage me when the Arsenal app informs me that Birmingham have scored inexplicably against the run of play, isn't it. #COYG #AWFC

Half time and that was a fairly flat performance. Aside from KCC playing well and Russo with an unlucky header to the post, there's not a lot of inspiration onfield. Holmberg isn't working well with Baum, and I forgot Stina was even there. Let's hope we don't wait too long for changes! #COYG #AWFC

I already know how this is going to land but... bring on Foord and take off Stina. Move Baum behind Russo, Smith on the right. Russo in the 10 after consecutive games where she scored is mad, and she is always less effective there. And probably Catley for Leah, depending on fitness.

Please prove me wrong Leah!

It's a serious worry, and I think she has been 80% since the ACL injury if we are being honest. Doesn't have quite the snap into tackles, headers, and trying to dominate. We need Reid to get back to fitness asap, which is a lot of pressure on her.

That's twice that Williamson has headed the ball back to them. Control it, or launch it. It's like she is just letting it bounce off her head lately. #COYG #AWFC

Took me a few seconds to work out what the pride tennis ball fist keyring was supposed to represent. Pretty sure it's a baseball glove.

You can dodge and weave on what Trump and his cronies have done up until now, but letting this happen would be a sign that the USA has moved away from democracy and the rule of law. That's a getting right into murderous dictator territory with Sadam et al

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

For the functioning of this season, I can't see how ManC can be immediately relegated/suspended. What happens to the points for games already played? Do cards get wiped? Allowances for the injuries/fatigue/travel? CL games? Cups? It's too messy. Sadly, we are stuck with them til May.

Woke up to Noni being whipped for his performance, but the stats seem to confirm my impression it was his best game in the last 6 months or so. Genuine threat and pushed them back, and a menace who won it back for us. That's what you want in a winger, especially a backup!

Daily Cannon@dailycannon.com

Nobody sprinted faster, did more sprints, had more shots, more successful dribbles or created more chances today than Noni Madueke. Also made three recoveries.

Daughter had a fucking amazing time, and we left before exhaustion set in. Eurovision fans are pretty cool. Can I get back to watch kick off... Only time will tell!

Coggsa@coggsa.bsky.social

I will be at the 10th Anniversary of the Eurovision Australia Fan Group tonight, which is scheduled to finish half an hour after the Arsenal kick off. It's also 30 degrees. Probably going to be a weird night, but relying on this place to keep me updated until I get home for the 2nd half!

Enzo Maresca dismisses concerns over Manchester City squad: ​"The feeling is fantastic! In this moment, we are top of the league, so players are just focussed on that... They're not worried at all about different things. They know the noise is there, but don't care."

KCC out of the Tillies squad for personal reasons. People (mostly men) are being cunts about it. Fowler out of the Tillies squad for personal reasons. People (mostly men) are being cunts about it. Apparently grief and a partner recovering from surgery on both legs are "drama" we can do without.

He is absolutely an AI influencer at this point, even if you don't like the direction he is using his influence. And he was absolutely elected to be the representative of God, and the Catholic Church.

imagine being a heretic AND getting zero bitches? like pick a struggle

For context, the Newcastle Knights play in the NRL Grand Final tomorrow. It's a big deal here. Huge. Just had a teenage kid walk past while I am waiting for my partner and say... "Go The Knights.... Oh wait! GO THE GUNNERS! CHAMPIONS!" * Fist pump * Instantly doubled his excitement. We are massive.

I am really happy that we beat them on the pitch, with Pep still in charge. Because there's no doubt we were battling against cheaters with an unfair advantage, we overcame that to still win. That makes it sweeter

I now wonder when The Office is on the tv whether the character Andy Bernard is based on a real person, or just happens to be a complete creep who stalked his ex girlfriends, displayed incel behaviour, insults women, dates a highschool girl, and constantly brags about going to Cornell. Coincidence?

Not a Knights fan, but they deserve that win. There's going to be a lot of drunken Novocastrians out tonight! Feel bad for Mary Fowler's boyfriend though. That was not a pretty angle for a leg.

Doing the shopping and have seen a few football shirts wandering around. Arsenal, Liverpool, ManU, Sp*rs, Newcastle, RM, PSG, Barca, Miami, Bayern, Australia, Kolkata (niche! I may have stared a bit to identify it), England... No ManC blue around for some reason. No Haaland. Jumped ship already!

Quite a few Rugby League jerseys for the Newcastle Knights to be fair. They play in the finals in an hour, and I am in Newcastle, so that's expected!

There's 3 things that might experience some knock on effects: -Man City Women- what happens to them if UAE bail out? Were they also...? -Player exodus- who had "get out" clauses? Some surprising free agents? -Multiclub ownership- will Melbourne City get Haaland for $115? Interesting times...
