Years of Ødegaard getting the ball into the box more than anyone in Europe, and many assuming it was because of his role or positioning or whatever. Really, it's just hard to work the ball into a packed 10-man box, and he's great at it.

OMG

Martin Ø pulling strings since he came on

I love you TROSSARD!!!

OMG it means so much! Earlier this season, when the spurs fans were booing us, when we were calmly knocking the ball about at their place, it felt like an unintentional admission of their club's inferiority. Watching all the joyous content from last night, (which I'm so gutted to have missed) ..1/3

Love this so much

BUKAYO!!! (slow stream)

Kejelcha and Kiplimo BOTTLED IT

Decent season-opener.

YESSS

I'm sacrificing crowd atmos so that I don't have to hear Hawthorne and Neville. Watching on mute.

Thank god for Amy Lawrence 💯 and I'll add Tim Stillman in there too.

A bit shaken up by the tragic Alex Manninger news tbh. So sad.

This from @guillem-balague.bsky.social over on The Bad Place is…well…superb. It’s one of the reasons he and @philippeauclair.bsky.social remain two of my favourite writers about the game.

I’m off to the Emirates in a few hours…. My mood? youtube.com/watch?v=xrKr...

You know Owen Cutts? He's on Instagram and Patreon etc..? The most life-affirming, joyous, infectious music lover.. Well follow him if you don't already. You won't be disappointed. And it's no surprise that the man is a Gooner! All the more reason. www.instagram.com/reel/DW3WiMp...

That Ramsey golazo against Galatasaray

I'd like to add my name to the growing list, by acknowledging Aaron Ramsay as one of my all time favourite Arsenal players, too. What a legend.

Can I say that I was actually quite amused by the Dowman -balloon - party comment.

What a fantastic footballer Alessia Russo is

Just switched it on! RUSSO! 😁

Oh my lord!!!

Yes!

Heh

Football teams don't win the title for the love of rival fans.

Who accuse you of being obsessed with every detail of every angle of every rewatch? Okay so along with a very happy Ben White, another thing the mass celebration shows up is Kai holding his specs! 🤓

Can we claim it as a set piece?

Max Dowman’s goal (full length clip) #Arsenal #ARSEVE #COYG #Gunners #EPL #EFL #PremierLeague #MaxDowman

I missed the second half. But wow! What a joyous moment. I must have it on my timeline..... 😍

already enjoying the Califiori randomness

I feel like we should not underestimate the impact all that rain had on PL teams over the last few months.

From the warm-up alone I’m 💯 expecting goals from Rice and Trossard

I’m also on “illegally crossing the halfway line” watch.

Be plenty of other fans moaning about ou route to the Champions League final. Guys, we literally won EVERY game in the group stages. Think we've kinda done a lot of the heavy lifting to get ourselves this 'perceived' easy run. You wanted that run? Should have won all your games.

"...and there's been another arrest for misconduct in public office but for who Chris Kamara?"

As good as we were, how awful were spurs btw?

and all this against a Tottenham who had 11 fresh days to prepare for it. And with a new-manager bounce.

Great game form Eze

Great from Gyokeres in that Eze wonder goal!!

Love it!

Spurs booing us must negatively affect their own players

Spurs crowd conceding their inferiority from the first whistle

We easily won the walk out onto the pitch.

Okay. I take it all back.

Absolutely loved that!

Honestly, we’re fine. We are playing within ourselves, readying ourselves for April onwards when we’ll go up a gear. See Rice? That’s a man playing in first gear right now.

I could not be happier with that Bukayo goal!!!
