Great pic of two massive Arsenal supporters and loyal friends of the @GoonerFanzine here at the Etihad: @countryman100 and his son who travel everywhere to support the Arsenal - good work gents! 💪🏼

FYI: Forest now 2-1 up vs Burnley…if it stays like this and West Ham beat Palace on Monday night Spurs would be four points off 17th spot with only five games remaining…

🚨Arsenal team news here at the Etihad: Raya; Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard; Madueke, Havertz, Eze

The calm before the storm…

My first Arsenal vs Man City game was at Highbury in April 1983. Brian Talbot scored a hattrick in front of 16,000. My first away game at Maine Road was in the mid 1980s. Used to get the Travel Club trains to Piccadilly or Oxford Road then buses to Moss Side. Those old wooden seats in the away end

Made it to the Etihad ahead of Manchester City vs Arsenal

After 22 long years the day of reckoning is finally here. See you in Manchester for City vs Arsenal

Right. That’s me done here at Stamford Bridge. An early start for the Etihad tomorrow morning if I can make it back home first after the geniuses at TFL decided to close the District and Piccadilly Lines here in west London on a weekend when Chelsea play Manchester United…

FT: Chelsea 0-1 Manchester United. Boos ring out at the final whistle as troubles mount for increasingly beleaguered Blues boss Liam Rosenior as the Red Devils emerge victorious from their Saturday night trip to Stamford Bridge. See @M_Star_Online newspaper for my take from west London

You have to say Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior looks as bereft of ideas as his team here at Stamford Bridge as boos ring out at the half time whistle with his side losing 1-0 at home to Manchester United

Not long until kick off here at Stamford Bridge. See @M_Star_Online newspaper for my take from Chelsea vs Manchester United

Can’t Smile Without You

From TW8 to SW6

FT: Brentford 0-0 Fulham

And we’re off again with the score Brentford 0-0 Fulham. Let’s hope the second half is better than the first

HT: Brentford 0-0 Fulham. A deeply underwhelming opening 45 minutes here in the west London sunshine between the River Thames and the A4 flyover…

Arsenal attacker Eze: “There is so much belief and so much confidence in this team. We have a team full of guys who are ready, so the mentality is strong in this team. I’m not interested in what people think or how they feel about us winning."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Bukayo Saka’s injury. Says it was something the player had been carrying for a while, before the Carabao Cup final: “It was an Achilles issue…hopefully it’s going to be a matter of days not weeks…we have to see how we responds…”

Arsenal boss Arteta on if he shows his players any of the ‘bottle jobs’ social media talk: "I show them people who love those players for what they are doing. It's unprecedented at this club."
