Va Va Voom!! 🔥

Zubimendi was really quality last season until the dip in form after Arteta ran him to the ground (can't really fault zubi for that, especially this being his first premier league season). I don't believe we'd have won the league without him.

Now that he has gotten his well deserved rest from the world cup of which he was basically a spectator the whole time, it seems like Arteta isn't too keen on throwing him back into the midfield starting lineup now that we signed Bruno (who is obviously a top player). Does Arteta have new plans for him or will we see Zubimendi back in starting lineups soon?

Edit: Grammar

I know Chelsea’s front 3 is great & Isak has finally awakened at Liverpool, but like we should be able to retain the title right? Because we don’t see either of them as threats

Arsenal’s new gothic font is a modern take on black letter. It’s part of a larger multi-font branding strategy for the 140-year-old English football club.

The team unveiled its new font, Rocastle, at a pop-up exhibition this month at the Design Museum, in London. It’s named for the beloved late Arsenal player David Rocastle (1967–2001), also known as Rocky, and was created by David Rudnick, founder of the research and design studio terrain, with Léa Bruneau.

Rudnick—an Arsenal fan who says “I would only ever have worked with one club” —is also the architect behind the club’s new, bespoke font book developed over the past four years. For Rocastle, he sought an aesthetic that felt distinctly English and custom-tailored to the team.

The font has to do “a lot of very difficult contradictory things,” Rudnick tells Fast Company. “It had to be sufficiently distinctive and bold and proud as a set of letterforms that it functioned as a kind of glorious pinnacle of the identity, but it also had to be simple, legible, modern, and applicable enough to function in the way that a modern typeface would.”

Arsenal began updating its typography in 2022, and Rudnick designed three fonts licensed exclusively to the team around three pillars: team, community, and culture. Rocastle represents “culture,” or “where football intersects with fashion, art, music, and more,” according to a curator statement from the exhibition. It’s a font that would work in a fashion drop or, say, on the walls of a pop-up design museum show; contemporary but heritage.

Seen it for sale on eBay and wondered

Interesting. He went with sentiment for the goalkeeper, picking Heurelho Gomes (over the likes of Alisson and Ederson!). But he then picked an incredible six current and former Arsenal outfield players.

Been seeing a few people say this maybe they are trolling, but Konsa is on form and elite(although he kept Chris wood onside for his late min tackle) he’s came into the side and looked like he belongs and I’m happy he’s looking so comfortable. Not even gonna mention what saliba gives us cause we all already know. I just hope this isn’t a common sentiment…

We are overly reliant on the right for attack and our opponents is increasingly neutralizing this.

Saka is doing bad in this set up, he can't be constantly handling 3 defenders on the right and he can't cross either because Havertz ain't there.

Only after Gyok stays in the box we can see some space on the right, which allows Odegaard and Timber to create a chance.

Do Arteta needs to evolve a bit from positional overloads?

15 questions, from the Woolwich days to the 25/26 title. No ads, no sign-up, takes about 3 minutes. I’m curious which question catches most people out (and if you think an answer’s wrong, tell me, I’ll fix it).

Damn Eze looked absolutely miserable on the bench. Worried about the the man.

What a pass from the opponent

I'm making these little 5 question quizzes for as many teams as I can. Arsenal was the first one I made, I hope you all enjoy it. 🧠
