"Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman said Arsenal wouldn’t have won the Premier League without corners "That is how Arsenal became champions. Without the corners, they wouldn't have made it."" That's a wild take. Hopefully out of context, because if this is the context, Ronald McDonald is cray

What is that lineup? It's like Arteta thinks Arsenal is already champions!?

Note to myself: If you wanna fuck up your routine and do a 80 minute fullback job against a wingback team, don't go out 2 days later and run 20k. Haha humblebrag - my ass, my legs burn. I'm unhappy. I have to stand up for 8 hours tomorrow

Me? No I did not watch the last 20 mins of the City game after I realized AFCB was Infront. No spoilers!

Everyone is looking at you @poorlydrawnarsenal.com

Always a joy to watch Arsenal

It's interesting that Trossard is keeping the width. I'd much rather he moved centrally. But with Calafiorin being *checks note* ALL POSITIONS, he needs to keep the width.

No pre-Arsenal workout today, as I'm going to a birthday party instead. So I'm doing best case-worst case instead. Best case is a win, preferably with 2+ goals. This will keep us above City with 2 points between us. Worst case is a loss. Which would allow City to leapfrog us with 3 matches to go.

Have anyone checked if Gyokeres is able to play on pure diluted hate. Because that guy is a fucking machine.

Arsenal playing Fulham tomorrow. And I understand that every win matters at this moment. But putting all your eggs in one basket sometimes leads to the basket breaking. Then it's no eggs.

If you are not mad enough about how pricey it is to rent or own a living space, then go on your favorite video streaming place and search for "Urban exploration". Yes these places looks scary. Also, these are ABANDONED - leaving entire areas because it's too expensive to make accommodating

Observation: Arsenal is looking tired Also observation: Arteta tends to use the same 14 players. Solution: rotate key positions, namely central positions. Yes Rice is willing to play all the minutes. But also, you have options to rest him!

No pre-ars workout unfortunately, since the game is smack dab in the "eat and throw kids to bed" time period. So it's going to be a short run afterwards. Based on performance that's going to be a celebration run or a frustration run

I woke up to the serenity of "not letting myself be emotionally affected by a team on the other side of the sea", just to be hit by USAs legal team managing to fumble a peace treaty for oil. Sorry my sweet Skoda Rapid 1.0, we have to wait until the orange business man catches a soft ball.

Another display where wanting to win seems like 2. Priority. City came to conquer, and went into every duel and tackle with that intent. Whatever motivates Arsenal to accept second best is beyond me.

Hey let's field a real with 3 forward runners - then let's not bank on the through balls in behind!

This lineup will work if we expect a midblock that we need to dismantle. This doesn't work against a patient low block. So let's just hope it's the right call, because I'd wait with that amount of sprint up front until the last 30 minutes

Prematch pump - but the catch is I've been sick and haven't been able to train even close to 70% capacity for 2 week, so every rep feels like it's going to be my last. I feel like that emotional state fits very well to Arsenal's current form. Omg we're synchronizing!

I was blessed with watching my daughter play football yesterday, and as such missed the embarrassing ARS loss. It's days like this I'm reminded that I'm a FAN of Arsenal, and neither financially or jobwise dependent on the success of Arsenal. You can't die from second hand embarrassment

Someone tell the lads that the season ends in may, not april

With how we played it was inevitable. But it feels so much worse when it's a drop by Kepa

Great ode to Arteta's road to where he is today! I do hope we have the ability to keep him at Arsenal just a smidge longer before Barcelona swoops in

Fun fact: Back when I wrote for Michael Price's YAMA, one of my suggestions for winger solutions was actually Martin Terrier. Especially because of his aerial presence

Just notice both of those dribbles. He feints his man on his body composition. First one says "I'm going to the right of you" second one he manages to feint going wide until the first touch, which sets him further behind than the defender expected. Just poetry

I hope someone clipped that Dowman goal. Because that should be in the scrapbook. Martinelli scored a similar one on his first year against Chelsea as well

I like Havertz. A lot. Just not as a 9.

Jurrien Timber is playing sub par. The game is moving around him and he's just a passenger.

Me: oh we look good. We've shaven some passes away and just played in behind, this will be a good game Also me 10 minutes later: nevermind

Here's my very quick analysis after the game. It's been said multiple times, but Arsenal really makes it difficult for themselves. Everything is about control - don't out muscle the team - don't give away stupid fouls - don't make a cross without certain players in the box.

Some prematch workout. Been doing marathon training last year. Got up until 21 km. Then lost all motivation due to pitch blackness on the roads. Doing 5x5 weight training instead until it's lighter. I forgot how much I enjoy warmth but despise long rest periods. Also. This is a match we win right?

I HOPE that this cup game is used to rest profiles and play Fringe players into form. I hope for White, MLS, Jesus, Martinelli, Mosquera - Salmon on the bench. But I fear it's another "Key 11, the faster you end the match, the quicker you get off"

As much as I'm frustrated with the two chances we blew. The amount of stupid balls into Gyokeres +5 Brentford defenders was utter stupidity. Also, why take off Madueke, when Trossard had been almost entirely anonymous on the LW. Also. Why not. Use the midfield. For transitions.

The unfortunate part of Merino's injury, is the list of players with his quality that won't reduce squad depth a lot is pretty short. And consist of players that are unavailable for various reasons. Goretzka Ruiz Palinha Tonali Tielemans Gravenberch Personally my danish player would be Jensen

That is like the 10th time I've seen teams just move right through our middle. Yes good shot. But how does these teams keep getting that space???

There's two things ruminating in my head after yesterday's win against Portsmouth. First one doesn't actually have anything to do with the match. It's simply: Why do club recruitments persist with hiring coaches that doesn't fit? Perhaps it's an extension of my own understanding of recruitings

MLS is such a conundrum. How can you both be such a promising player and also play like you've never tried to run before

On one side. Gyokeres is not taking the right runs at all. On the other side, he is not being found when he does either. He plays simple football, give him simple through balls.

Hincapie looking very timid. Why not just get that ball across the box, it's the last attack of the half.

Arsenal fans nervously waiting for any late training injury updates.

Rewatching the AVFC v AFC match with tired eyes today. First thought: AVFC coming off a great run of form, but also statistically over achieving. Where have I heard that before about Unai Emery?

I honestly don't want to over analyze this. But Arsenal looks leggy. Like they have 60-70 minutes in the bank, and then the wheels slowly falls off. Slightly too low on the block, doesn't command central areas, fail to retain possession on transitions.

Arsenal fans trying to figure who is going to operate where

Either we're setting up as a 343 with Trossard and Saka as Wing Backs, or we're trusting Rice as a RB, which I think is slightly nuts

Kepa keeps jumping really early. 5 shots to his left. Also. Just a small thing. I really don't enjoy penalty shootouts. It's forced suspense.

Even with some help, Wolves manage to take themselves down with 2 Dogs. Arsenal did their best to even the playing field though.

The amount of space Arsenal gave wolves right there is Criminal. What in the world was the intent there. Close down the distance

What's that noise? That strange ominous droning? Oh no! It's the anxiety concern that Arsenal is going to drop points against league bottom on a 5 game loss run! I feel it too! I would give the world for a very boring and uneventful 2-0

Denmark seems to have a tough time getting into the world cup this season. But based on all the controversy, I'm making sure I'm going to give exactly no money towards that competition. My advice to other is also to pirate the games and avoid stadions.

Can we very quickly just take a moment to contemplate the utter amount of ass licking that Infanto is doing to Trump. How in the world does the FEDERAL INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL AGENCY create a knockoff peace prize and gift it to Trump, on behalf of footballers and football fans.
