Soundsman. Arsenal. Asking all the wrong questions on @potshot.bsky.social he/him

A tweet from Max Radwan about Arsenal. It says: Think we’ve seen in the last few weeks why going far in the cups is detrimental if you don’t go all the way. A ball hasn’t been kicked in the title race since we went nine clear and yet the vibes have completely shifted because we’ve gone out of two comps since.

Screenshot of a whatsapp group chat talking about Nottingham Forest 0 - 0 Arsenal. Manas said: "Felt we did enough today, that was a disgusting defensive show from Forest". Jake said: "We're unwatchable bollocks. I can't stand this season"
Interviewer: Like Icatus, have you ever flown too close to the sun? Legend from "Gladiators": I've been to the sun and it was fine. I can't really relate to that.

"The return of Saka and the resurrection of Martinelly has perhaps swayed me towards dreams of 10+ corner returns" - Jake, in his latest article for Pot Shot
Screenshot from an article. It reads: Data from Premier Injuries shows that, in the Premier League this season, there have been 118 hamstring-related injuries (they represent more than a quarter of all injuries in the division). Of those 118 injuries, 71 of them (60%) have been severe enough to keep the player out of action for a month or more. From the start of the 2019-20 season to the end of the 2022-23 campaign, by contrast, only 40% of hamstring injuries kept a player out for such a long period of time.

From the BBC News app's live reporting on Trump's inauguration: "Our eyes now turn to the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, DC, where President Donald Trump will travel to shortly to greet his supporters at a parade in the stadium. The place has gone wild for Elon Musk and Kash Patel, who are already at the arena, with the crowd applauding every time they are shown on screen. First to speak on stage is an animated Elon Musk, who says Trump's win is "no ordinary victory, this was a fork in the road of human civilisation" - adding "this one really mattered". He thanks supporters for "making it happen", saying the "future of civilisation is assured". He says now there will be safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending, "and we're gonna take Doge to Mars." Kash Patel, Trump's pick for FBI director, is next up. He says: "We are at a crossroads here in America, but our future is bright"."

I have edited this screenshot of the guardian cartoon, which shows Nicholas Jover answering the phone to Dua Lipa saying "this had better be about near-post runs", to say "this better not be about near-post runs"
A screenshot from my article on Martinelli, which is linked in the tweet this is a reply to.
A screenshot of an article in progress that says this: Those high-value shots are where the money is. If Martinelli is to stay in the team, the aim should be to get him the ball in those areas more often - oh? What’s this? [Screenshot of Understat showing martinelli scoring 2 goals from 2 6 yard box shots in 24/25 so far] Two shots & two goals from inside the 6 yard box already this season?
