Some early Forest thoughts ahead of tomorrow evening's game. This is by no means a cut-and-dry win for us, despite what their fans are thinking - www.suburbangooners.com/2026/01/16/f...

Not many attacking options on our bench - but with our XI so strong, you’d like to think we’ll have enough to win.

Few more thoughts from Tuesday's game - my comments on BBC Sport for the 'Fands Voice' section - talking Trossard - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Foden doesn’t score or assist for several games at a time - but he scores in one game and all of a sudden, pundits love him. Talent is undeniable - consistency is severely lacking.

Haaland has 13 goals, the next top City scorer has 1. Yet our over-reliance on set-plays is worse…

Levels.

Some pre-Brighton thoughts ahead of our League Cup encounter with Brighton - www.suburbangooners.com/2025/10/29/r...

The saltiness just makes it better. The noise around us just having set-plays is delicious. Boring? We have the 2nd highest goal tally! Anything to make you feel better I guess…

Has anyone else noticed the sharp drop in absolute clangers from goalies this season? It might be the new PL ball, but there hasn’t been anywhere near as many game-changing errors from keepers so far. Maybe the standard has gone up - but it’s definitely noticeable.

Forgot to say Timber was outstanding again today. Continuing his form as our best player this season.

The Saliba news is big stuff for us for multiple reasons, so that had to dominate today's blog thoughts - www.suburbangooners.com/2025/09/26/b...

Remember when we got such shit for not setting up to win a game? Where’s the same backlash for City with their 5-5-0 formation? They deserved nothing from that game.

Great goal for Ethan last night. It's a reminder of why he's still valuable in a wide position if you ask me - his goal output from last season showed that - www.suburbangooners.com/2025/09/09/e...

Yep, we didn’t play well. Yep, we gave a few too many chances away. But we got the 3pts. Look how many times L’pool didn’t play to their best but still grabbed the points. When you’re not playing well - you still have to find a way to grab the W.

What’s Macho Man Randy Savage’s favourite cheese? GRUUUUUUUU——YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEE!!! You’re welcome.

Wow!!! Arsenal Women - Champions of Europe!!! Again!

There might be a game this weekend for Arsenal, but I think it’ll still give time for Arteta to have a think ahead of the PSG game. Ødegaard needs to as well - his form needs to pick up - www.suburbangooners.com/2025/05/01/t...

The magnitude of @arsenalwomensc.bsky.social performance against Lyon cannot be overstated. In a Chsmpions League semi-final too. This is a display for the ages.

Berta’s most important job this summer isn’t transfer targets. It’s getting contract extensions for Nwaneri, MLS, Saka and Saliba.

We love you Freddie, because you’ve got red hair! Happy Birthday to our Freddie!

Let’s not overlook the fact that our patched up defence earned a clean sheet against Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. Exactly what most thought they couldn’t do. An absolute masterclass across the pitch.

Best result The Emirates has seen in its existence.

Some thoughts on the injury problems as a whole this season for The Arsenal - think this is unprecedented, right? www.suburbangooners.com/2025/04/03/a...

Missing Gabi is huge. Best, most consistent player this season. Only Timber, Rice, Saka and Raya have come close to his levels.

Lewis-Skelly. That Hale End pedigree.

This is such a great Merino interview by @sidlowe.bsky.social - he comes across SO well and sounds like he's genuinely enjoying learning how to play up front. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Jurrien Timber. The man who won’t stop. And what a bargain

I’m all for giving youth a chance, but that is the weakest bench I’ve ever seen from Utd.

Calafiori, on the right, scores our 7th!!! 7th! A strikers run in behind, he slots in so coolly!

All we need now is a goal for Sterling.

We’ve got 6! It’s the 3rd or 4th time PSV have let Odegaard run at them, this time he lets fly and Benitez should save but he flaps at it. It’s 6-1!

Get Tierney on. Butler-Oyedeji. This game is cooked. Rest Odegaard, Nwaneri

Trossard has been making runs ALL game. We just need to give him the ball!

The first time PSV have EVER conceded 5 goals at home in more than 200 European home fixtures…

5-1! Calafiori passes to Trossard who dunks it over the keeper from a tight angle! Bloody hell - this will do us good!

Told you they were wobbly! Put the game to bed! Nwaneri puts the ball in, keeper has to try and stop it and our skipper is on hand to smash home! 4-1!!!

Partey error aside, we would’ve grabbed this scoreline if we’d have been offered it beforehand. Now do we lock it down and bring it back home? PSV are looking wobbly.

Odegaard is one of our best players - but he is woefully out of form.

Thomas Partey with a stupid decision to latch onto the attackers neck. It’s a penalty.

The break has done us good. That intensity in our final 3rd press is too much for PSV.

How did Merino get that goal? Not because of any wondrous ability, but PSV just didn’t get rid of it. So Merino picks it up and finishes! Thanks PSV!

Lewis-Skelly is a lucky boy. Booked for a challenge and a minute later lunges in. But youth players need to be allowed to learn. It’s dangerous, but we have to give them that platform to grow.

Lewis-Skelly has been so brave with his positioning and it’s led to a second goal! He went into the box and Nwaneri lashed it home first time! Fuck yes boys!

Great header from Timber! What a reach at the back post! Looping ball from Rice, Timber leaps highest.

Good sign we’ve imposed ourselves so early on in the game. It’s really quietened down what was a vociferous crowd.

Fast becoming Nwaneri’s signature move - cutting in and floating a delicious, curved ball to the back post.

Gabriel is so often our protagonist. Which says a lot about our change this season. I love Gabi, but a playmaker he shouldn’t be.

I hate to be negative but it’s undeniable. If you’re an attacker and you’re on the bench behind a central midfielder, then you know you’ve dropped your level.
