I mean I'm not mad at Brighton, I'm mad at Kavanaugh. Today, I feel like a seagull.

I owe you an apology, Brighton, I wasn't familiar with your game

I'm still incensed that we had 2 points gifted to this Brighton side.

Either Forest are amazing or Chelsea are shit... why not both?

Also, he was there 6 years ago... players change. I mean fuck, in 6 years I expect Emile and Reiss to score bangers against us. I would never describe either as an Arsenal reject.

I do keep thinking "surely they've spent too much now", and I keep being proved wrong. It's like a stock market bubble.

Very true, actually. I'm sure he'll have told them all he knows.

Thoughts from today:
- Partey could have done better on the first (is hanging out in the 6 but could have been screening the goal) but it's also a great strike
- I love that we immediately went on the offensive after their goal
- Wow, VAR did a great job with Martinelli's. I speak relatively, but still. Impeccable line drawing (only a little sarcastic).
🎵 Movin' on up 🎵 Also 😢 for Ramsdale. What a good guy. Also also, our away record is somehow getting better.

We absolutely need to score again. They will hit us if we give them the chance.

If City win the league, everyone just says, "well, what are you going to do". If Arsenal win the league, that makes people sit up and pay attention. It's a legitimate win. No one will question whether we've engaged in dodgy financial manueuvers or whether a nation-state paid Havertz's dad 200k a week. They feel threatened because it'll be the first legitimate champion in years besides Liverpool.
That raises an interesting question though, why did Liverpool not receive that kind of treatment during the years they were going toe-to-toe with City?

I think we're both on the same page - I would love if there were similar federal programs for low-income people to get scooters/e-bikes just like we have for cell phones right now, since it's kind of required to get to work in most metropolitan areas and most cities don't have good transit options.
All I was saying before is that if they straight up never have more than $50 to their name, they're going to pay $7 a day as opposed to $30 a week, which would be more cost effective.

Something I think you may not be considering is availability of funds for lower-income folks - it's easy for us to say "why not just pay $70/month instead of paying $12/day", but... what if they literally don't have $70? What if they don't qualify for the payment plan because of bad/no credit? Let us not forget the story of Samuel Vimes and his 'Boots' Theory of Socio-economic Unfairness.

I'm somewhat conflicted about our next match - I want Rammers to have success but I would also like to pump 10 past Southampton to make up for the statistical anomaly v Leciester.

I thought it was more like a 4-4-2 personally.

Fun fact from the Cannon Stats post on the Leicetser match: based on their simulations, we were more likely to score 8 than 4 on Saturday.
Sorry I missed last week, was stuck in a hurricane (not actually) 🙃 Down the Foxes
No notes. Row is green, London is red.
Not new but hopefully improved. I'm adding a Notes column to indicate things like penalties, own goals, and red cards to add some context to matches. As usual, feedback is always welcome! I have a ton of hidden columns that tot up things like xG/A under/overperformance, etc. so maybe halfway through the season I'll open that up as well. Fuck Kavanaugh. That is all.
🎵 He knows exactly what we need 🎵
I don't think I'll get over this season for a while... whichever way it ends up going.
Time for the Korean guy and Sp*rs to do us a favor
Turns out Shit is Shit, everywhere you go * added an indication for OG because I was sick of the xG values being somewhat misleading when they get scored. Fun stat: We've scored 5 and conceded 1 OG this season.
Fucking Villa and Fulham.
http://clubelo.com/Ranking We were 6th in February. we could very easily be in 2nd place by the end of the season given how few points separate 2nd-5th.
"Are we ever going to look like we did in 2022-2023?" I said in December. Now somehow we look even better.
I don't love the Guardian's methodology, so I may take some time tonight and try to calculate it with [club ELO](http://clubelo.com/ENG) instead to see if there's any analysis to be had there.
Doing just as well as last season, you'll never sing that
A win against Newcastle would bring our points difference back to 0, matching Man United's GD this season.
