Leaks of Arsenal's toxic-looking away kit receive some pretty toxic feedback

After a grueling, emotional season that ended with Arsenal succumbing to Manchester City's relentless pursuit, how do the Gunners pick themselves up, avoid doing what Liverpool did and hit the ground running when the 2023-24 Premier League campaign begins on Aug. 12?

Premier League relegation battle as it happened: Down goes Leicester and Leeds

I'll be honest, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about how we don't have promotion/relegation in the United States. I guess I've become numb to the discussion since it seems like it's never happening. But it's days like Sunday, with Everton, Leicester and Leeds dancing with the devil for the safety of 17th-place, when it's just unfathomable that we don't get to enjoy this spectacle stateside.
