@ArsenalBallots @JoshStainton If they are downloaded first, deleting them from the digital wallet will allow someone else to then download it on a different device. Found this out leading up to the CS
@ArsenalBallots I entered the Leeds ballot as soon as the window opened. Had a confirmation e-mail to say entry successful. But this is what shows on my ticket hub. Know of anyone else with this problem?
@ArsenalBallots The ticket is downloaded from either the ticket hub or the e-mail, and then shows as a QR code in your digital wallet, which can then be screenshotted and (possibly) passed on and scanned at the turnstile. Just didn’t know if that screenshot would work
@rhys_evans We’re travelling by train, but separately, and meeting at Cardiff Central station. He has COPD so gets tired very quickly. Ideally somewhere we can chill for an hour within 5-10 mins of the station, that won’t be full of City fans
Only two other clubs in England have this pull, but I'm not sure if they could even do this on a random Tuesday night when we weren't even playing. London is just different. The parade is going to be carnage. You have no idea!
Arsenal are bottlers” is one of the laziest narratives in modern football ,and it doesn’t survive contact with reality.
2022/23: Youngest team in the title race. No one expected a challenge. They finished on 84 points and accelerated the project by years. That’s overachievement, not bottling.
2023/24: Took arguably the best club side on the planet to the final day. Won 16 of their last 18 league games. Finished on 89 points. That’s title-winning form in most seasons. Losing narrowly to a machine isn’t collapse, it’s elite competition.
2024/25: Decimated by injuries across key positions. Defensive rotations disrupted, midfield balance constantly shifting. Still competitive. That’s resilience.
2025/26: Seven points clear. Composed. Structured. Mature. Strong defensively. Managing games better than ever.
This isn’t a team that crumbles. It’s a team that has grown year on year, from promising to contenders to dominant.
The only reason the “bottling” tag exists is because Arsenal dared to compete earlier than expected, and people froze that moment in time.
Progression isn’t bottling. Pushing greatness to the brink isn’t bottling. Building sustainably at the top level isn’t bottling.
It’s called evolution.
And when the trophy comes, the narrative disappears overnight.
David Raya is the fastest goalkeeper to reach 50 clean sheets (110 starts), taking the record from Jimmy Ashcroft (114 starts) who held it since 1903.
Raya is also the first Arsenal keeper to keep a clean sheet in 7 consecutive starts in all comps since Seaman between Apr-Aug 2002
@CFCJohnnyB And it’s not even because we’re bad from open play, it’s because we’re just SO good at set pieces and nobody can figure out how to stop it. Keep crying
