Poncing about at the back has cost us again. They never learn. Just plain stupid.

We certainly miss Calafiori but he picks up so many soft tissue injuries. Leg muscles, tendons and sinews made out of cornflakes and poppadoms.

Excellent performance. Really pleased for Jesus, Gyokeres and MLS looked very composed tonight. Played at a nice tempo and got the ball forward a lot quicker without Odegaard.

A wasted opportunity or another point gained on City?

Excellent from the red mancs. Two goals. Three offside goals. Hit the beans and the bar. Donnarumma with three brilliant saves. A mauling. Mr Pep, a proper mauling.

I haven't bought a newspaper for ages now. In the shop this morning I noticed the Daily Mirror is £2 It's easily read cover to cover in 15 mins. Weekend copies would be more. You're looking at around £800 per year for a daily tabloid, and that's before you've bought your Beano and Dandy.

Is the return in 3 weeks?

I think we know who will start wide left for them next week. Plus Caicedo, James and Palmer probably return so plenty to do yet. If only that Merino volley had gone in. Fine margins. Pleased for Viktor. Looked sharp tonight.

Fucks sake this tie should have been put to bed tonight. Always the hard way with us.

Michael Oliver is the referee v Nottm Forest. Darren England on VAR. Not good. Expect controversary. If anyone has an agenda against Arsenal it's this pillock.

Get in you beauty

Kepa got to do better there.

How Roy Keane has the brass neck to criticise Martinelli beggars belief. He acted in the heat of the moment, which I'm sure we've all done, and has since apologised to Conor. End of. Keane's attack on Alf Inge Haarland was calculated and brutal and should have gotten him jail time.

I think to get the best out of Gyokeres would be to bring him on around the 65 minute mark when defenders are getting tired. His inability to find space is worrying.

MLS having a mare. Doesn't seem to be arsed to get back either when he's been skinned.

Lads are running on empty.

This is a poor start to the wnd half. Ceded control without much of a fight.

A good weekend for Gooners everywhere. A big bonus result for us this evening.

After the shitshow commentary team last evening, especially Goodman, it would be nice if all co-commentators were binned. The likes of the brilliant Coleman, Davies and Moore didn't need them, or indeed want them.

*Thursday*

A great win after gifting them the lead. The lads worked their socks off to get the 3 pts. It's not easy at the Vitality . 54 pts to play for. On to Tuesday.

Fuck it. I hate it when we lose the clean sheet so late.

What a brilliant second half. Destroyed a very good side.

Hopefully another goal to kill it off. Don't want to sit back and invite them on to us.

Great goal. Great pass

Phew. Thought Mr Gillett might have done his usual and ruled that out. Nice man is Mr Gillett.

Changes needed Mikel. Time to earn your corn .

Having Gillett on VAR for the Villa game sends a shudder down my spine.

Ffs Martinelli

Once Havertz is match fit Arteta will play him over Gyokeres. Hugely disappointed in that lad.

Obscene profits.

All hunting should be banned. It’s not a sport, it’s not a ‘lifestyle’ it is people slaughtering animals for fun and it’s sick. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Same old same old.

Ffs. How many more chances are we going to spurn? Nowhere near clinical enough.

Atwell is such a tosspot

Decent game management in the end but we need to be killing these teams off earlier. 1-0 's were fine under GG.

Ffs Arsenal. Step it up and put it to bed before we gift them one

Very poor start again. No tempo to our play and way too passive.

Charity shop finds this a.m.

Book 177 of 2025. Probably the best player of all time.

Get in you beauty

I'm glad Arteta wants to keep Jesus. When he came on v Brugge he missed a few chances but he found a lot of space, which Gyokeres struggles to do.

I've given up on the cricket. It's not even a contest anymore. Annihilation and humiliation. And so to bed.

Good fightback from England. Pleased for Rooty, and a bit of redemption for Crawley, even tho him and Pope do not have the technique to bat 1 and 3. Sad to see Brook turn into a village green slogger.

Very poor 2nd half. You wouldn't think we are top of the league. It's games like this where we've come unstuck in previous seasons.

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

Never spotted this. Absolute Bertie Blunt. Red card all day. Chelsea are just thugs in blue football shirts.

Tony Harrington/James Bell referee and VAR for Brentford on Wed.

Yesterday's match just confirms how difficult it is for London teams to win the league. Only 3 London clubs have been top-flight champions, with 21 titles in over 130 seasons. All local derbies are feisty and London clubs at this time have 12 per season.

Taylor ruined that game. 3 yellows in the first 12 mins was ridiculous. How did we end up with 6 bookings?
