The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

Crowd at the darts tonight is similar to the crowd at Man City last night. Empty seats and nobody cares anymore #changetheformat

@Arsenal need to sack Arteta immediately. Fans are sick and tired of this nonsense. Genuinely would rather be forever in 4th spot under Wenger than be promised titles just to bottle them with no excuse #artetaout

Premier League fans deliver damning verdict on VAR. 75% of 7,946 fans polled by the Football Supporters’ Association “didn’t support the use of VAR”. Too long, too forensic, too much of a joy killer, fans say. Findings shared with Premier League and PGMO. 92% of fans surveyed “agreed” that “VAR has removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrations” (82% of them “strongly agreed”). 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” with the notion that “VAR makes watching football more enjoyable”. And 83% of those watching on TV. 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” that “VAR decisions are generally resolved in a reasonable amount of time”. Echoed by 83% of those watching on TV. Only 18% agreed that “VAR has improved the overall accuracy of refereeing decisions”. 72% are “concerned about the expansion of VAR beyond its current remit”. 79% “strongly disagreed” with the suggestion “that the match-going experience is better with VAR”. 67% “strongly agreed” that they preferred “watching games that are played without VAR to games with VAR”. 84% “strongly support” goal-line technology. 34% “strongly opposed” to the idea of a challenge system (two per game per team). “These findings back up the FSA's previous survey in 2021, where fans expressed misgivings about the introduction of VAR,” says Thomas Concannon, @WeAreTheFSAPremier League network manager. “The vast majority are reporting the same concerns five years on - the loss of spontaneity when celebrating goals, and an overall worsening of the match-going experience. We have shared the survey results with the Premier League and PGMO, and look forward to discussing its findings with them.” Fans surveyed of all PL clubs and all ages (Under-18 to 65+).

@UberEats have you ever employed any competent couriers? I’m sick and tired of it. No point in ordering for delivery if the brainless idiots ensure I leave my property to find them because they can’t understand how a lift functions or how doors operate. Pathetic. #boycott

Coverage of darts on ITV has always been cringey, but this year they’ve really outdone themselves for how embarrassing it is. #UKOpen #darts

Imagine losing to a second rate man united side at home and claiming you’re challenging for the title. Unacceptable. #ArtetaOut

There are 128 players in this year’s #Darts World Championship and yet I’ve only heard the name Luke Littler… and probably heard that 200 times since the broadcast began.

What on earth is going on with the commentary for the #Arsenal game @footballontnt Surely someone has noticed the terrible echo by now?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Over the last few months, I have been investigating the reasons why people go missing within the regions of #Gwent and #Gloucestershire. As part of my exploration, I’m now looking to speak with someone who has been affected by a missing person’s case. Anonymity can be given.

Says a lot about the marketing of @SanpellegrinoUK when I have to google what they sell because I can’t work out what the beverage is on the adverts 🤣
