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.

On New Year's Eve, Arsenal were five points clear and City had a game in hand. Since then, both teams have won three out of eight matches. Today Arsenal are five points clear and City have a game in hand. It's nip and tuck. Have a read ⬇️ theanalyst.com/articles/arsen…

I took a look at some of the reasons behind Arsenal's recent run of form in the Premier League and relived the scars of previous seasons which are making Arsenal fans so anxious in a piece for @OptaAnalyst Have a read⬇️ theanalyst.com/articles/arsen…

@Alan_Alger_ @OptaAnalyst Hey, that's what the model says. Let's hope it's right.

@Orbinho @OptaAnalyst Why are Arsenal still nearly 80% on your predictor? They are no more than 65% max.

*gulps*

I'm planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok at the end of this month. If you are interested in finding out more about Opta data and how we can help with storytelling, then feel free to reach out.

@ODESZXN He is saying less than face value to get people interested and then he wants you to send money first, which is classic sign of scammer and when called out he blocked me.

@Orbinho He doesn't send the tickets?

‘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

4 - Sub pairs to assist one another in a UEFA Champions League match: - Llorente/Morata - Atlético v Liverpool, Mar 2020 - Alvarez/Doku - Man City v RB Leipzig, Oct 2023 - Doué/Ramos - PSG v Brest, Feb 2025 🆕- Martinelli/Trossard - Arsenal v Athletic, Sep 2025 Impact.

That is just one of the key battles we have looked at ahead of Liverpool vs Arsenal. You can read all about it, and the rest, here: theanalyst.com/articles/liver…

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

45 - None of Viktor Gyökeres' last 45 league goals have been scored with his head. Coiffure.

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⬇️ theanalyst.com/articles/arsen…

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⬇️ theanalyst.com/articles/arsen…
