This 😍

When Martinelli is scoring headers, you have to appreciate how good that delivery was/how bad the defending is Set piece again ole ole ole!

Shithousery on a really good level here Love it Spurs: never change

Serves Spurs right for wearing a knock-off version of our No More Red kit

I’m just going to put it out there: Arsenal played as if they received news of a bereavement at half time

This 15 minute spell has probably been our worst all season

Hincapie is not the marauder I thought he was, but perhaps he did have an issue

Whoever is playing the Voovoo Zela that is being picked up on the broadcast mic please stop 😂

The Arsenal #8 and Hull #2 from 2014 FA Cup final will face each other as managers in the Semi Final next week.

Nice one Enzo 👏🏼 Happy New Year Gooners!

Incredibly mature last 20 mins; completely nullified any threat from Bournemouth Rice excellent; not sure where this Arsenal side would be without him

Pretty low quality first half in an attacking sense Bournemouth working hard off the ball and offering threat in attack Everyone just seems a bit off it today

Gabriel determined to make this season all about him We’re all just passengers in his exceptional storytelling

🍷 Granit Xhaka: Like a fine wine, getting better with age

19 games down, 45 points on the board We’re on course to meet The Invincibles fabled 90 points It is written

Bayern second half eat your heart out @philcosta.bsky.social @jamesbenge.bsky.social @lgambrose.bsky.social

Someone please do the analysis Our goals come in clusters/salvos Once we get one, we’re suddenly off to the races and can get one or two more And set pieces can be the way to get that first

JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Leo remains out most lethal finisher Year after year What a transfer

“Hey Siri, define salvo” Bang bang #COYG @philcosta.bsky.social @arseblog.com

Oh that is just lovely You CANNOT underestimate how important it is to score first It opens everything up Set pieces can be that catalyst and I love it

Oh Big Gabby, how we love you

Villa's running power in transition was always a worry here, because we're trying to press and can't match them going backwards if/when they squeeze through.

There’s being dynamic in formation and then there’s Arsenal A little more structure wouldn’t go amiss right now Creating too much space for Villa

Villa making The Emirates feel like Hyde Park Far too much space

Can we bring back booking players for simulation? You know, like the rules say they should be

Comical stuff at The Bridge this evening

I did actually notice Timber holding his calf against Palace He played through, but guess it was quite bad

🥷 Big Vik Vibes 🎄Merry Christmas Gooners @arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social @aallensport.arseblog.com @philippeauclair.bsky.social @philcosta.bsky.social

Mikel At Work

🐎

Back at The Emirates this evening, but as a festive first, right by the dugout. Looking forward to hearing Mikel bark orders in at least 3 different languages. COYG

Arsenal are the best team in the world (at conceding one-fifth-of-one-xG and still managing to stress us the fuck out)

Sometimes you have to rely on your strengths, and that’s our defence. Superb again. Controlled the game but not very brave in possession. A lot of room for improvement in that department. 1-nil to the Arsenal. We move!

You’d bet good money on Leo burying that

That passage of play sums us up at the moment Even when we create a moment in transition, we wasted it with a really poor pass from MØ to Big Vik We’re just not clicking in attack, and it’s unfortunately not new

Sure, he’s not perfect, but my word can he kick a football

Imagine Romero being Arsenal captain Nope, me neither

Xavi Simmons is an absolute fraud Spurs sure do know how to pick ‘em

⚽️ MNF was a fun watch Here are some interesting stats: 🧱 In the past 3 seasons (23/24 onwards) Arsenal have conceded 3 of more goals in just 2 games (Luton and West Ham) 💦 By contrast, United have conceded 3 or more goals in 22 games @orbinho.bsky.social @arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social

Never forget this classic from Unai

Maybe we should go in for Semenyo for his long throws

Can someone please tell Lee Hendrie how to use a microphone Thanks, Sky Sports Multiview Fans

Eze should be more worried about this performance than Gyokeres Just saying #Arsenal

Have long thought it: Gyokeres isn’t it against a low block We have to score early in these sorts of games to get the best out of him He looked much more lively in 5/10 mins after we took the lead Same for Martinelli and Leo to be honest @arseblog.com @philcosta.bsky.social

I’ve never been against Gyokeres but this sort of game never plays to his strengths Jesus, Odegaard and Trossard are better options across the starting XI Would like to see changes early second half if there’s no score

Incredibly anti football this

🩼 How Bad Have Arsenal’s Injuries Been? ⏱️ Analysing the distribution of total minutes played - benchmarked against the player (Raya) with the most minutes played (1,890) - confirms our attack has the highest variability, as injuries have forced Arteta to chop & change (1/2)

🐭 As we get to the time of year where outside friends come inside, I continue to ponder this thought ⬆️ Evolution through experience has instilled humans with scepticism & knowledge to eg avoid fire & swim to avoid drowning 🪤 Why is it then mice continue to be fooled by the blatant mouse trap? 😂
