I'd forgotton how much I love(ed) this in 2019 and all through the pandemic when it was basically on repeat every day. It define lockdown for me. And now, all this rain...... youtu.be/H02BPY7vEms?...

It's not that deep.. Way too much is being made of the psychological hurdle of going from serial runners-up to winners! Far more significant for me is that, in recent seasons we were really good, but unfortunately one other team was better than us. And this season, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Too good not to repost!

Love this tho

I hated that as much as the head groundsman must have hated it! PS apart from Kai’s goal 🙌🏼

Gawd I hated the TV version of that match so much.

Shaking with delight and also loathing of CFC, Matterface and Dixon

I hate Chelsea the most too.

As well as being 6 (six) points clear at the top of PL, there are also other things you still love to see. 😍

Oh Do me a favour!

Come on you ghosts!

What a soulless ghost match.

I love athletics almost as much as I love the Arsenal. And Keely H is right up there of course. But Isabelle Boffey does really well in the 800m BU Terrier Classic in the US yesterday. youtu.be/vv2_VcllCtA?...

Yay!(phew)

I miss Onana

Love you Trossard

Yes!

Myles growing into the game. Green shoots of confidence returning perhaps?

Inter are not undangerous

Heh

Eze playing at Ozil tempo

Can I be first to use the phrase “Palette Cleanser” (®️ Tim Stillman)

Ah Saka my captain!

Watching it in a bar in EC1 with music playing rather than commentary and I have to say we totally dominated that half. I love the way we played that half

We’re winning the league.

Purring over Kai. What a contrast

Nice! Great goal. Quick thinking

Considering he’s not played much Nwaneri is having a pretty decent first half

Oooh love that from Martinelli! So close

I was trying to think what it is about Mikel…. and I feel that whether you’re 15 yo Max Dowman or 30 yo Leo Trossard, you know that there is no one better in world football to help make a meaningful career. And even if Ethan (say) doesn’t make it with us, he’ll have learnt a lot from Mikel already.

I sometimes wish I could crowd-control. Villa's plan to change the bouyant mood to one of ugliness and venom (with Martinez and the ref being the main targets...all engineered by Unai probs) was smart.Don't get me wrong, I was fully involved in the pantomime stuff myself, especially towards Martinez

I suspect Bukayo and Jurien were a bit under the weather tonight. Well enough to play but not to contribute much. Everything seemed to go down the left. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m refusing to believe it. 💯 in denial, me. Just because it’s in The Athletic doesn’t make it true.

In honour of that save, I'm even more tempted to buy this merch. But tbh, who walks around wearing a goalkeeper's shirt to a match or to the pub? And fairly or unfairly, Raya is not my fav player. (Bukayo is). But I might go for it nevertheless....

Just to have on my timeline, really. Witnessing it from the other end of the stadium, it was "other-worldly" Like from a different dimension. So no one around me reacted as if they had just seen something real. Stunning.

Happy daughter :)

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to rescue you?

On reflection of last nights game I liked our maturity. We played well within ourselves, didn’t over-react to Citeh taking top spot earlier, and some of our play out from the back and through midfield was really good. If I was Everton watching I would be silently applauding Mikel’s Arsenal

Easy. Loved that. I thought we were really quite good

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that half. In first gear. Plenty in reserve

I wonder why we’re 100% not bothered one way or another about Henry’s lifetime achievement award 🤷🏼‍♂️

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Yes 🙌🏼

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS

Theo: Lewis Myles-Skelly coming on.

I'm not enjoying this! It's a game which we'll end up winning but Chelsea will announce (to) themselves as genuine competitors now. One of those turning points for us and for them.

Calafiori could have done with his jockey 🏇 for that booking.

Keown: Supermendi and Mascara Who?
