Humans of the Arsenal（HOTA）is an independent photography blog centered on Arsenal Football Club, inspired by Humans of New York. It is not an official Arsenal project; it is run by North London-based photojournalist Jason Ilagan and mainly documents stories around Arsenal men’s, women’s, and academy matches, as well as the club’s supporter community.
The site is built around photo-and-text storytelling: matchday photography, oral stories from fans, coverage of Arsenal Women matches, North London Derby records, and portraits of club-related figures such as Wenger. It feels more like a long-running archive of fan culture than a news portal or statistics site. The page content indicates that it is built on Tumblr and uses the Minimalism theme, with a reading experience closer to a traditional photo blog.
The currently crawled content does not show any paid subscription, members-only area, or ecommerce sales. The main content appears to be free to browse. The site provides a contact email for media, business, and general inquiries, but does not publish any pricing or service packages.
Its main strength is its very clear positioning and distinctive humanistic photography style. Compared with ordinary post-match news coverage, it places greater emphasis on supporters, the stadium atmosphere, and personal memories, with especially rich coverage of Arsenal Women, women’s football, and venues such as Meadow Park. Its work has also drawn attention from outlets such as Arseblog, The Sun, and Bleacher Report, suggesting a recognizable presence within the Arsenal fan community.
The downside is that the site is very lightweight in terms of functionality, essentially remaining at the level of blog browsing. It lacks advanced categorization, search, an interactive community, or a systematic database. Because it is not an official channel, match information and opinions should be cross-checked against official announcements or mainstream media. The content is also highly niche, so non-Arsenal fans may find it of limited interest.
It is suitable for Arsenal supporters, followers of women’s football, sports photography enthusiasts, football culture researchers, and media professionals or creators who want to observe the fan ecosystem around an English club. It is not suitable for users looking for live scores, transfer rumors, official ticketing, or commercial services.
The site is powered by Tumblr, and access to Tumblr in mainland China has long been unstable or restricted. Whether pages on its independent domain can be opened may also vary depending on the network environment. Therefore, access from China should be considered “partially restricted,” and a proxy environment may be needed if necessary.
