Well done agent Vinai!

Porro hailing a cab so he can leave with the rest of the Spurs fans!

Inject it into my veins!

Trossard has not been good today - bring Martinelli on. He’ll be good against this high line!

While Gykores hasn’t been awful, he has to be stronger in one on one challenges. This isn’t the Portuguese league and the defender he’s up against is terrible.

Have Spurs got a youth team player on the bench who has never made an appearance before? Be prepared for them to score in the 95th minute!!

Spurs really are an awful team (with a lot of key injuries) that are absolutely not in a false position. There will be absolutely no excuse for anything but 3 points here.

We’ve shot ourselves so many times in the foot - that these aren’t now coincidences. It’s a sign of mental weakness.

Must watch from Vincent Kompany (he speaks in English) www.kicker.de/kritik-an-mo...

I’d advise anyone to listen to Vincent Kompany’s 12 minute response to the Vinicius Jr racist incident. The man is a class act.

The “self monikered” Fletch is a fucking idiot.

Man City playing front foot football that I’ve not seen from Arsenal in months. Worrying times!

Right, it’s the North Laughing Stock Derby on Sunday. The losing team will be the biggest banter club in the world!

The style we play is so controlled that’s it’s so difficult to generate crowd atmosphere. Will leave little wiggle room for Arteta if we don’t win anything this year. Give me a Bournemouth a home 3-2 than all this sterile bollocks.

i will ask the Arsenal team to lower my coffin into the ground So they can let me down one more time I cannot take it anymore its bad for my heart condition @arsenalfc.bsky.social

My team: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Norgaard, Rice, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Jesus

Right then - who wants to pick a team for Sunday?

Drab insipid half of football - how many times have we said that? We need to show more drive and ambition or we’ll watch the title slip from our hands?

Never have I seen a team that looks more like they’ve been paid off with oil money.

Spurs next 5 fixtures. They could end up with no points from these games!

I’m not sure there are 3 worse teams than Spurs in the league currently, and if there are you can be sure their fans will provide more support than Spurs get. Shockingly bad!

The Spurs players and fans deserve one another.

I hate stats and prefer to use my eyes…..however Villa can’t keep outperforming their xG with performances like that in the first half!!!!

@arseblog.com is it incumbent on Arteta to get the team to speed up play/be more direct, especially at home to try and get more interaction from the crowd? The slow build up makes it more difficult for the crowd to become fully invested and leads to a worse atmosphere #arsecastextra

@arseblog.com Do we need to find a way to smooth our goals scored profile in comparison to XG? We seem currently to either strongly under or over perform XG and that leads to some uneven points delivery. Does this highlight the sketchy nature of our attack currently? #arsecastextra

United XG must be crazy high in this game!

We’ve seen this story before. Man City should be 2 or 3 down but will ride their luck and win it in the 2nd half!

I wish it wasn’t but that’s a red for Dallot there every day of the week! I won’t complain though…

Another Unai special - 2 goals from 1.02 XG. Stats fans will tell you it can’t go on like this. Villa fans……

How is that not a penalty??? Is the VAR blind?

Shearer and Jon Champion have been drinking the Liverpool Kool Aid - so biased towards Liverpool.

Mark Clattenburg’s idea of a natural body position.

Mark Clattenburg is a Bona Fida idiot.

So “Tommy Robinson” turned up at the Channel Tunnel in a Bentley SUV he didn’t own and £13k in cash. Clearly profiled by customs/police but how can his disciples not be suspicious about his source of funds and how he uses them. All journos should be following the money here (and not just Elon)

Right wing engagement farmers having an absolute field day today…..all for clicks. British nationals identified and not being treated as a terrorise event. You can almost feel the disappointment from the usual sources. Knife crime is a serious issue but let’s call out racism for what it is.

Another reason to never enter the world club cup is the threat of winning it and having to have that stupid gold bauble on your shirt for 4 years!

Gabriel could have gone for his forearm smash on the Newcastle forward…..however that makes up for the Guimaraes forearm smash on Jorginho a couple of years back!

How can we not get anyone to buy Reiss Nelson when Chelsea are selling their team boy for £22m!

The quality of this old firm game has been terrible. This is genuinely 2/3 division standard.

Not a lot to take away from that performance in isolation (apart from 3 points!). Sone of the short term problems will iron themselves out quickly. However, our lack of threat on the left flank continues to hold us back. We need an out and out specialist left winger & not sure Eze meets that brief.

It’s fair to say we look a bit rusty! The signs are there that we can open them but our final ball needs to be better.Need more control from our midfield.

Chelsea getting Eur 50m for Felix from Saudi Arabia. One of their major shareholders is PIF (the Saudi Government). By my reckoning that’s about 20 million over the odds. At this stage we might as well bin FFP cos it’s becoming an absolute farce.

Is there a reason every print journo has done a piece today about why the Club World Cup has been great for the sport?

Biased!

How can one not love Santi’s story? Goes back to his home club for tiny wages and after a 24 year wait, helps win them promotion at the age of 40. I’d love to see him back at Arsenal in some capacity.

What does anyone learn from a game like this? Apart from the fact that international football qualifying is a complete waste of time.

Harry Kane picking up the ball in deep midfield and making a through ball to a space up front where he should be!

Ahh, international football….you just can’t beat it! 😜

Arsenal are rated 10th of the teams to qualify for next season's Champions League so will be in Pot Two with Leverkusen, Atletico, Atalanta, Villarreal, Juventus, Frankfurt and possibly Benfica and Brugge who have to go through the qualifiers. Spurs are in Pot Three and Newcastle in Pot Four.

It’s amazing what money can make people do and say………
