Today is my last day on Twitter, until or unless something significantly changes on this platform. You can follow me over on Threads or Bluesky if you still want to revel in Arsenal minutiae. The countdown to 2024-25 has also proved to be a countdown to the end of my time here.

‘The rise of base, reflexive racism in this country is disturbing.’ @Lewis_Goodall hits back at social media accounts stoking talk of ‘civil war’ after quoting an unnamed ‘academic’.

With three assists in her two games so far, Beth Mead's start to 2025-26 shows she still has something to offer boss Renée Slegers despite links with a move away in the summer. We analyse her qualities before this weekend's clash with Man Utd in the WSL. @bmeado9 | @ArsenalWFC

Arsenal have scored 18 goals from set-pieces in the Premier League since the start of last season, the joint-most. Will they cause chaos again from set-pieces when they face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday? #LIVARS

Yesterday saw Arsenal’s Max Dowman (15y 235d) became just the third player to appear in a Premier League game before turning 16 years old. Who else makes the top 20 youngest players in Premier League history?

Those who have followed me the last few years know that I am a bad omen for home games. My win percentage when I attend is 44% and when I watch at home it's 87%. But it may not be all my fault, so I looked at other potential reasons⬇️ https://t.co/PkbTA36YUR

If Arsenal are to end a 22-year wait without a Premier League title, they'll need to improve their home form at the Emirates Stadium in 2025-26.

The Gunners dropped points in eight of their 19 home games in 2024-25, picking up fewer points (39) than the rest of the top six teams in the league apart from Newcastle (38). Lots to improve this season at the Emirates. Have a read⬇️ https://t.co/PkbTA36YUR

Strangely Arsenal spend a lot of time in a low block in home games compared to their title rivals. Read more in the quoted article below.
Four teams had better home records than Arsenal in the 2024-25 Premier League. If they are to have any hope of winning their first league title in 22 years, they’ll need to fix that this season, writes @Orbinho. https://t.co/vBkMJZ8PrO

Was Arsenal's relatively poor home form the main reason that they ultimately failed in the 2024-25 Premier League title challenge?

In what may well be the last piece I write for Opta Analyst, I look at something that hasn't created much discussion among the blizzard of summer transfer tittle tattle - Arsenal's below par performance at the Emirates in recent seasons. Have a read⬇️ https://t.co/PkbTA36YUR

Arsenal are set to land Eberechi Eze — their seventh signing of the summer. Is the maverick No. 10, snatched from Spurs’ grasp, the final piece in Arteta’s title-winning puzzle?🔴⚪️ https://t.co/L1Hy9EztYi

Should Arsenal complete the signing of Eberechi Eze, it will mark their seventh addition this summer. Now it is time for Mikel Arteta to deliver.

Now that Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace know which competition they'll be playing in, it's time to start thinking about how they'll contend with their European schedules. Non-big-six teams see a nine-point drop-off domestically when they go into Europe.

𝐀𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 🔴 Arsenal head into 2025-26 hoping this is the year they win some major silverware. Can they do it? Will they do it? There are plenty of questions to be answered ahead of the new campaign...

I wonder what has changed?
@Orbinho @firstdirect I used them a few years back as well and they were superb. Had an actual English person talking me through a loan application where they didn't just run numbers but used some common sense. It was awesome. Then yeah, like your experience it went to shit.
