So delighted with that win and performance, and it was not nailed on. Lots of rotation and in critical (risky) areas The first 20 or so were not to be taken for granted. Thank you Chelsea for Noni, his quality took the jizz out of Brugge. Coasted in the end

Hoping for a good Arsenal win tonight. Don't want to see a bad run of form created. We need to get back on a winning streak. Citeh are too close for comfort...and I thought they decided to be poor this season. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!

This weekend is not going well, next thing Karen Kearney will be voted off strictly...I won't be able to handle that

And every ignorant spanner will be going " Arsenal are bottling it", never mind that we showed lots of bottle in the past couple of games without our first choice central defence. That is going to irk me

I know for the rest of the weekend/week I will be doing something and this poxy defeat will pop into my mind and I will shout. " Ah for fucks sake" Oh well you have to take the bad with the good.

Ah for fucks sake

Happy with the substitutions COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!

My wife just came up with a great phrase, "blunt that out" for blurting something out bluntly

What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is. The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life. Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.

Thank god Liverpool are taking points off Sunderland, good to see our rivals dropping points

That was hard going, though there were some great passages of play. Great 3 points, in what is turning out to be a difficult period for us, our attack returns to fitness and our defence gets injured.

Big game tonight for the Arsenal potential banana skin with the week we have had If big Bill is still out, the 2 CBs stepping in need as few changes around them as possible. Would like to see Odegod and Gyokeres start. COYG!!

I mean look at this prick... Enzo! No card btw and celebrating kicking and getting away with it. 🤦🏻

We looked a bit jaded yesterday after a big three games with minimal rotation. Midweek v Brentford is going to be tricky. Hopefully player coming back in get up to speed quickly

I think the lateness of Saliba's injury got in the way of our match prep, the fact that the Brentford game is hot on the heels of this game isn't ideal, but with more time to prep, we will be better.

That match was a good reminder to Arsenal fans not to get too far ahead of ourselves.

My head is buzzing after that. We weren't our usual selves. I hadn't watched Chelsea this season, they are a real threat. Take the point and move on. Hopefully big Bill back soon.

Suplex by Cucerella, no free

With the way Taylor has dished out soft yellow cards, I can't see Arsenal keeping 11 men on the pitch

Hincapie booked for jumping for the ball.. joke

Took his time

Taylor is so crap, lucky Merino hasn't a broken ankle

Arteta is probably doing this already at the breakfast.

I had to get Haaland out of my fantasy football team. I found myself taking solace if he scored in a City win. No No No!!! That's simply not on! Bad for my peace of Mind Got Brobby in, hat trick v Pool inbound 🤞

Another tough fixture today for the Arsenal, big big test. Chelsea in good form. Mikel will have the team laser focused. COYG!!

Strictly instant dance, my word

Karen Carney on Strictly, what a lovely person

There's a long way to go this season and there will be ups and downs. At the moment it is an up for Arsenal, let's enjoy it and take what comes, win or lose with good grace. Whining at bad refereeing decisions excepted

I am a devout atheist, but the more these Arsenal players thank God for their performances, it gets me thinking, I'll think on it for a bit more

Calafiori made a difference when he came on. Says to me that MLS needs more good minutes. Need to keep the squad sharp.

What a result, Bayern were excellent, Neuer still has it. We looked a bit ropey 1st half, but steamrolled in 2nd half. Brilliant by Arsenal.

Our press is mixed, looks all over the place at times

The refs yellow whistle is off putting. I keep thinking he is producing a card.

Arsenal getting pulled apart a bit first half. Looking for Mikel to sort it out at half time. We can't keep hold of the ball, but are creating good chances. Need to up it second half. COYG

It'll be a tough test today, but the team will be up for it and we'll prepared. Looking forward to it.

I loved it when the Trossalator put the ball out for a throw, feed up the crowd like he had won a last ditch tackle, and the crowd were mad for it.

I apologise to my Monday morning self, but I am having another drink and another after that. NDL wins like that are to be appreciated

TV analysis was spurs didn't, fight enough. Yes Arsenal fought back and held their own, but space on the edge of the box led to Arsenal goals, that tactical, Franck didn't do enough on the training ground, Arteta did.

Tifo looking good

Is Sean Dyche a tactical genius Or Is this the work of big Ange bearing fruit now

On the back line v Spurs minus the king of Brazil, I think Mikal will go for the least disturbance possible, that would see Mosquera coming in as a straight replacement and the rest as is... barring other injuries. COYG

What a day, first an incredible Ireland win to the last of last mini, the. Diversity on strictly, oh my word

Unbelievable result for Ireland, I didn't see it coming to be honest. Delighted, graft and gumption

Karen Carney, such a beautiful human, I am strictlified

I am unashamedly Arsenalcentric, but credit to Sunderland, they were very well organised defensively, but also had great quality going forward, excellent pace, movement and vision. I hope they keep their players fit and take points from our rivals.

Ok, I admit I am in pure whinge mode, but this isn't a foul by the X man, really?

My head has been so wrecked with dropping points that I'm only thinking of the X man now. I loved him at Arsenal but man as opposition, he is such a dick. I still love him, but only kinda now He must love Sunderland, he didn't get away with half that shite playing for Arsenal

Mad to think that we got more yellows than Slavia Prague and Sunderland only got one more yellow than us. I know I watch the games through Arsenal tinted spectecals, but I am very skeptical of the quality of referring

I see a pattern in our last two games: opposition making no effort to play the ball, just going through the back of our players Refs blowing up sometimes, or not. Yellow cards staying in pockets way too long Hard for us to deal with, but did really well in the 2nd half v Sunderland, till we scored

I see some debate here re subs, in the minutes leading up their goal I said we needed to bring on subs as we had no out ball. Trossard looked knackered and Sunderland were causing us problems. IMO Fresh legs would have helped, but Mikel ignored my shouts at the telly... again
