The Noise Off the Pitch: Is Arsenal's Title Push Becoming Inevitable? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m starting to wonder if the revelations of the last week are giving Arsenal a firm push towards another Premier League title.Even if there’s no points deduction this season, we can’t pretend that off field matters of this magnitude don’t impact players. Can it possibly create a siege mentality where it’s City vs everyone else? The anger and sense of victimhood spurring them on? Pep Guardiola was a master at this, can Maresca follow in those footsteps?Maybe the messaging from the hierarchy is s

Read excerpt
I did intend to get this published much earlier in the week, but after a rigorous padel and football session on Monday, and without taking on sufficient fluids, I ended up with sunstroke which left me Ko’d for a couple of days.

Pre-match player prop markets have delivered in such an incredible way for me over the last couple of years that I’d rather pour a large percentage of my capital into those instead. But it’s also a con
