“My advice is always ruin the friendship! Better that than regret it for all time.” Is such a Taylor Swift line. Easily my favourite song on the record!👌 #TLOS

They still beat you in stoppage time with an Eddie Nketiah brilliant goal. Allison saved you from humiliation in the 1st half but sure, mock a team that has shown more consistency than you this season. Hold that!

Ødegaard out for Norway international duties due to knee injury. Thank God it’s not an ACL.

I will say it again, it is much more difficult to win the premier league unbeaten than it is to win with 100 points! What Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal Invincibles did is an anomaly! No manager has been able to replicate that in the history of the Premier League! Come on you Gunners!🔥

Palace have just lost to Everton, ending their unbeaten run streak! Arsenal are currently the only team unbeaten in all competitions. 7 games unbeaten in all competitions! Top of the premier league table! 😮‍💨

I’m not going to be so hard on Gyökeres yet because he is being doubled up on. My only criticism at this point in time is that he needs to relax a bit. He seems very tense and you can see the desire in him to score goals but he has to keep managing the frustration as it’s part of being a striker.

That pass from Zubimendi to Timber that lead to the penalty!😮‍💨 Sensational!

David Raya could’ve had a cigar in his goal today 😂 Even though we were 2-0 up, we were still trying hard to score more. Am I dreaming? Don’t wake me up.

Winning against Newcastle and West Ham United back to back is like going back to the places you got hurt and healing. That’s why I call these fixtures PTSD fixtures. I have to give credit to Arteta for taking the hand brake off. It’s not a joke! He is adapting and taking risks. Long may it continue.

Now teams would be weary if they decide to drop deep and defend against Arsenal. By doing that, you only invite pressure and we will keep knocking until something gives. We are evolving. Fair play! Up the Arsenal!🔥

Player ratings Arsenal V West Ham Raya-8/10 Saliba-7.5/10 Gabriel-7.5/10 Calafiori-8/10 bit too comfortable in midfield for my liking Timber-8.5/10 Ødegaard-8/10 Eze-8.5/10 Rice-9/10 Saka-8.5/10 Trossard-7/10 Gyökeres-6/10 Subs Zubimendi-8/10 Martinelli-7/10 Merino-7/10 Nwaneri-7/10 MLS-7/10

Please take off Ødegaard! He’s already gone down twice.

Arteta really likes Trossard.

My starting 11 Arsenal v West Ham: Raya, Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber Ødegaard, Eze, Rice, Martinelli, Saka, Gyökeres.

If there’s any manager I can back to win the Europa League, it’s Unai Emery! He owns that competition!

The thing about being good at scoring from set pieces is that the opposition knows you have a great tool in your arsenal that they probably don’t.

Should’ve been 3-0 up at half time today but certain players kept missing sitters! Never start Trossard again. Hope we’re never in a situation where White has to start for Arsenal, too cavalier. Yes he has that advantage going forward but it’s worth sacrificing for the stability that timber brings.

Player ratings Arsenal vs Olympiacos Raya-8/10 White-6/10 Saliba-8/10 Gabriel-7/10 MLS-6/10 Ødegaard-8.5/10 Merino-7/10 Zubimendi-8/10 Trossard-6/10 Martinelli-7.5/10 Gyökeres-7.5/10 Substitutes Saka-7.5/10 Rice-7/10 Mosquera-7/10 Eze-7.5/10 Timber-8/10

I never want to Lewis Skelly and Ben White start a game together. They’re so cavalier and it puts the defence in chaos. Timber is a serious fullback that you can rely on. Even though I have issues with Calafiori on his discipline, he is serious.

Is Arteta going to play 4–4-2?

I’m actually excited to see what Ødegaard-Zubimendi-Merino in midfield would look like. My worry is the risk of getting caught in transition if the opposition has the physical advantage over us. Is captain fantastic going to prove me wrong tonight? I hope so.

Interesting starting 11 that Mikel’s picked. I already know that Benjamin White is going to cause chaos at RB. Don’t get why Gabriel and Saliba have to start. Saliba should be rested at least. That front 3 is very bizarre. I hope there will be no sending offs. Up the Arsenal.

My starting 11 against Olympiacos at home: Raya Lewis Skelly Gabriel Mosquera Timber Ødegaard Eze Zubimendi Saka Martinelli Gyökeres Rice and Saliba should be rested. They do not need to start this game. I would sub in White in the second half if we are 3-0 up. Otherwise, he should not start.

So tonight Galatasary kept a clean sheet for the first time in 24 Champions League games.

I don’t understand how Benfica didn’t get anything out of this game. They created and had so many chances, just couldn’t put them away. First defeat for the special one in his new job.

Joao Pedro who came off the bench has earned his second yellow card and this makes the 3rd consecutive red card that Chelsea has had this season.

Benfica need to be more clinical in front of goal!

Benfica is so poor in front of goal! Seriously! How do you not put that kind of open chance away? HOW?!!

Robert Sanchez loves clattering into players. One day he might injure someone in a serious way.

Harry Kane is a world class striker! He is so criminally underrated.

Aubameyang is still a baller!🔥

Today I would like to give credit to Mikel Arteta for his in-game management and especially for his risk taking. At a tough away ground, with so much on the line, he took the risk and threw the kitchen sink at the opposition. This is a step in the right direction and the psychology of this team.

We need to check our blood pressure! I think I went to at least 200mmHG systolic today! What a game of football that was! What a performance!

That was the best game we have played in a very long time. This is our redemption arc!

I am in tears! 😭 I can’t believe it! Gabriel! You absolute beauty!😭😭♥️♥️♥️

I hope they pass the ball to Gyökeres!

David Raya, I beg you to stay in goal today! Please stay in goal! Please stay IN GOAL!

I will never wish for Aston Villa to be in the relegation zone. Not under Emery! He will come back up and I hope he wins that Europa league. Until then, we’re missing you in the champions league Unai! Up the Villa!

Unai Emery! I never doubted you!

Ethan is not even on the bench. Sad to see Ben White back on the Arsenal bench. Good thing he isn’t starting. Will Dowman ever even get a chance in this game? We will see. Come on Arsenal!

Arteta is taking the mick out of everyone with the hand brake! Trossard ahead of Martinelli? When we need pace in this kind of game? Throwing Mosquera into hostile environment and benching Saliba. I hope this starting 11 kills the game before half time and we are 3-0 up! COYG!

The Villa defence is shocking! Emery has every right to blast them in the media! What the hell was that?

Unai Emery! I’m so disappointed! I can’t believe this? From a set piece?

You can take the player out of Arsenal but you can’t take the Arsenal fan out of the player.

Oliver Glasner! The man that you are!👌

Premier league player of the month for September is Eddie Nketiah!

Very poor performance. Eze, Norgaard, Trossard and Mosquera can walk with their heads held high. Gyökeres is getting used to making those excellent runs based on those stupid passes that we make. He is getting used to the BS. When is this manager going to stop overworking Saka?

Player ratings Arsenal Vs Port Vale Kepa- 6/10 Saliba- 6/10 Mosquera- 7.5/10 White- 3/10 Lewis-Skelly- 5/10 Norgaard- 8/10 Merino- 4/10 Eze- 8.5/10 Nwaneri- 7/10 Saka- 5/10 Martinelli- 5/10 Substitutes Rice- 6/10 Gyökeres- 6/10 Trossard- 7/10 Gabriel- 8/10 Dowman- 8/10

This manager still doesn’t make any substitutions. He wants to run players into the ground and start complaining about injuries in December. Why is Saka still playing? We are 1-0 up! It’s port vale!
