That still counts as a set piece

It feels lately like Arteta's gameplans hinge on being able to switch gears with subs. Certainly doesn't seem like the MGM front three have warranted more playtime together.

COME ON YOU IRONS

This season has been the boys showing us how they must be to adapt to their situation. Today was not a message to the league, or City, but to us - they showed us what they could be capable of.

Everyone's injured, every team in the Prem seems to have figured out our tactic from back to front, and everyone is mad about it.

Feel free to be disappointed, but just because we've come so close so many times doesn't mean we're magically in a place where we're expected to win a quadruple. Cup competitions are a (weighted) coin flip at the end of the day, and we've been on the bad end of two recently. We move.

Calafiori will come on sooner than I'd have expected, especially since Hincapie has been hamstrung with that insane yellow. Chaos will win this game.

Believe.

Galatasaray in shambles

He's off, surely?

Two beautiful quick-fire goals from Liverpool

This was Arsenal’s 10th Premier League victory by a one-goal margin this season; only in 2003-04 have they ever had more one-goal victories at this stage of a season in the competition (12). (Opta)

Everybody acts real concerned about the loneliness epidemic. God forbid some young men want to hug their opponents on a corner kick. Pick a side.

HOLY SHIT

I see the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize is at it again, doing more peace and stopping more wars. Oh. Get Infantino out of FIFA. Football deserves better than this ghoulish, obsequious, evil little toad of a man. He represents everything that's wrong about the game and the world.

Vinicius Junior says on his Instagram stories "Racists are, above all, cowards. They need to put their shirts over their mouths to demonstrate how weak they are. But they have, on their side, the protection of others who, theoretically, have the obligation to punish."

Cooper's already been taken out of the firing line, so there's a sense this won't do the damage it should. This has always disgraced the government, especially the "rule of law" PM at the top of it. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Easy. Don't fund DHS. Period. It's what a majority of voters on both sides want. It's what's morally right. It's what aligns closest with our constitution.

Shame that Xhaka is still out. If he's physically there, I hope we welcome him back.

The poor dear, who is on £480,000 *a day*, must be upset that Ivan Toney has outscored him this season. www.thetimes.com/article/4c58...

Not a coincidence that United are out of every competition and that they absolutely rinsed both us and City. Their players get to rest, ours don't. For me, that's the main difference today.

Top tip by @leparisien.fr. In those icy conditions, to avoid slipping and falling, walk like a 🐧. I hope everyone listens to this excellent advice and can't wait to see the spectacle on the Euston Road.

Merino blown over by a feather

If you watched Liverpool concede goals but score more in the first two GWs and are now complaining that Arsenal weren't more aggressive and open this match, then I can only conclude you must have wanted us to lose 4-3.

Once again, players like Eze, Dowman, and Gyokeres should be getting easy ramp-ups to the season to get used to playing in our system. Instead, they're playing significant minutes because the squad is ALREADY beset by injuries.

OF FUCKING COURSE.

The nerves are amping up - need to keep the emotions in check.

Heart in my mouth.

Mosquera done, Gyokeres soon. Blimey.

Now Martinelli is getting doubled while Saka gets tripled. By my math, that means our 8 other players should be able to handle the remaining five.

Imo we needed to score with that first 20 minutes of dominance. Very unlikely that we turn it around now, but we believe

Real talk: I hate both of these teams, so I can root for either, but Inter scare me.

Incredible month @wmata.com Thx you for riding America’s Metro System and thx you to the hard working Team Metro who are delivering safe, frequent & reliable service driving ridership higher! Let’s go!

Wow, what a wonderfully clean and absolutely not intended to injure tackle

LOOOOOL no corner. These refs are shameless.

Lol the commentators saying Evanilson got "something on it, not sure what". Have some fucking integrity. It was an elbow.

MARTINELLI WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

I wonder what it does to an athlete's mental state when you see this consistently given against you and consistently taken away from you.
