Top writing, IMO

 

I caught up with a couple of highlights of internationals.

IRE 4 - 2 BEL Nations League. McCabe brace and all but scored a third (ended up being an OG). Football starts at around 2:00.

WAL 1 - 2 AUS Cooney-Cross assists Foord for late winner

Of course, if you haven't heard Olivia Smith picked up a knee injury, which look pretty bad 😢, in '37 of this game

England, Spain, Sweden, USA, Netherlands all had Arsenal players on the pitch, too. Might have missed some.

I hate to break it to you @nuggsy@lemmy.world but it’s no alcohol on board train!

 

The title track from their new album on Epitath.

I remember accidentally seeing them play live at the University of Calgary, some years ago.

There are some good clips being uploaded from the latest shows.

Well, no injuries is what counts the most. Saliba sleep walking at the back is not ideal though.

 

This is good. Thanks random fellow Gooner

 

I didn't realise a new album was in the works. I think this is the first single.

What do you all think?

Although Barcelona romped to a comprehensive 4-0 win at home to Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, it’s still Arsenal who are the favourites to lift the trophy.

Maaaaaate, “It’s the history of the Tottenham”.

 

Declan Rice scored two incredible free-kicks before Mikel Merino continued his goalscoring run to send us into the second leg in high spirits. But how did we nullify Madrid's threats and impose ourselves on the game?

I know it's only half time in the tie but this is how I am feeling, right now!

Enjoying some breakfast after the 3am wake up call for the 5am kickoff. It was well worth it in the end! Also met noted Arsenal podcast host, Ian Stone. O what a beautiful morning!

Edit - I completely missed that this is their second L, this season!

if you had told me that we would play Real Madrid twice without conceding a goal with so many defenders out, then I would have been delighted. — Arsene Wenger

Away leg Highlights (Also embedded in the article link)

 

After finishing top of a group including Ajax, Thun and Sparta Prague, our "reward" for reaching the knockout stages was a tussle with Real Madrid.

Coming into the tie we were almighty underdogs; written off by nearly every journalist, pundit and neutral football fan alike. We had won just four of our last 12 games in all competitions and our record against Spanish opposition was far from impressive. But if we were supposed to just roll over and die, someone must have forgotten to hand Thierry Henry the script.

 

Ferenc Puskas may be one of Real Madrid's biggest legends of all-time, winning three European Cups, five La Liga titles and netting 242 goals in 262 games, but while he starred in all-white, did you know he once donned our red and white and scored goals at Highbury?

You have got to be kidding. Shit decision followed by several minutes of failing to overturn shit decision.
