Just need to renew Michael Oliver's contract and they'll be all set.

Man City winless in three, Chelsea winless in five, Man Utd one win in five (and drawing), Tottenham one win in six. Somebody pinch me. Just please wait another 25 hours.

A few years ago City might have a game like tonight’s where Haaland has eight out of their 13 shots but a few of the others drop to Gundogan or De Bruyne and they do something special at the death. That’s the team many have been seeing City as. And they aren’t that team anymore.

Bournemouth really do make it tricky. An inexplicable mistake from Gabriel to gift them the opener, but made up for that with a fine finish for the equaliser. Don't think we're getting enough out of any of the front 3, who are all replaceable from the bench if things don't change in the 2nd half

HT: Difficult half. Way too stretched and open from an Arsenal perspective, playing into Villa's hands who want space and the wide areas to run into. We can't match their running power with this midfield three. They're being allowed to slow the game down at every chance and we can't get going.

Frustrating game, Villa had a 10 min period where it looked as if they could score through our middle. I think Gyokeres should score that first chance, second more difficult but good movement from him. Nevertheless, if Arteta made a half-time change in the front 3 I wouldn't be surprised.

Every time.

Arsenal are down their two starting CBs, now a third CB, and conceded only .34 xG. Either it's devil magic or Arteta is just a ridiculously good coach.

Bayern Munich are very good by the way, they completely overwhelmed PSG when it was 11v11. Think Arteta may have a special group here

Arsenal goal involvements in all competitions: 10 - Trossard 8 - Eze, Rice 6 - Saka, Gyokeres 5 - Martinelli, Merino, Timber, Gabriel

Said this to @tomcanton.bsky.social on the Arsecast on Friday 👀

Carlos Cuesta's Parma hold Cesc Fàbregas' Como side to a 0-0 draw. Como with 71% possession, Parma outshoot them 10-6 anyway. Exactly how I'd expect a Arteta-Wenger protégé derby to play out.

Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif. Frankly embarrassing.

I’ve been *so guilty* of this myself so please take what I’m about to say with a huge grain of salt: I think we have to start to move away from the analysis that having most of the ball & pushing the opposition back is “dominating a game” if you’re not creating a decent volume of good chances

let’s say he doesn’t dramatically change as a player in the next 3 years from what we see now, I still think the Gyoker signing is fine if he scores against the middling sides and offers some depth. but on the evidence so far he isn’t troubling Havertz for a starting spot in the big games.

What’s great is that almost every post mortem post here hasn’t mentioned Odegaard or Havertz missing. And their absence was a BIG factor today. But very few are even pointing out those absences. That’s how good we are now, even with what was a disappointing result.

What a goal!!!!!!

Madueke is really good lol

Madueke is really strong

I see the injury curse is still in full flow. Would be nice to have our best team available just once against the other top teams but seems that's too much to ask.

How are you injuring your shoulder twice in consecutive home games. We're so ridiculous.

Ffs how unlucky Odegaard injuring his bad shoulder again #arsenal

Performance was fine. Result frustrating but by no means a disaster, especially three games in. Hopefully we have some players back after the international break.

First half has me greedy, I want the win. Got to remember a point is still a better result for us than for them. That, at Anfield without Saliba, Ødegaard, Saka, Havertz, was excellent.

The Premier League in 2025

The Premier League's strength in depth will be the reason Premier League teams don't win the Champions League consistently: PSG, Bayern, the Spanish giants can play in second gear in the league most weeks in a way the English clubs can't and it'll often show in April and May.

A genuine disgrace from the worst Manchester United team and manager of my lifetime

Imagine grown men spent money to make this

football fans in general have just become too obsessed with other clubs

It means little now, but I'm quite surprised Nwaneri didn't get off the bench tonight. We needed someone with goal threat to try something late on, a shift and shot - he can do that. This also means nothing, but I'm tired of watching Saka needing to beat three players every time he gets the ball.

We won't have to wait another 16 years for another Champions League semi-final. This season has been exhausting. Bring on August.

Arsenal are, for the record, fucking brilliant.

Five of Arsenal’s first six shots were from set pieces. PSG score with their first such shot.

It’s just how this has gone. A balance on the tie but the finishing has fallen their way.

What the fuck with this fucking guy

Omg great save , what a start

That said, our bench…the first sub was 82 minutes and it was a right back. You need more than that at this level.

There are things Arsenal can learn for the second leg and it’s not over by any means but PSG the best team we’ve played this season by absolute miles.

What a save Donna

Why is the VAR check taking so long

I thought that fancy technology was supposed to speed this up

Whatever the correctness of the actual decision, it feels overly harsh for that to be the punishment for something as exacting as a shoot-out Should be a retake It's a slip, not an intentional attempt to cheat. Absurd.

I’d bring damsgaard to arsenal for squad depth

‘I might sing but I ain't sold out’ Shut up

Watching the Merseyside Derby and it's amazing how much higher Michael Oliver's second yellow bar is in other matches.

This place still feels a bit small, not football focused, but maybe we could try and connect Arsenal fans at least. If you are an Arsenal fan, leave a reply, people can follow, also please repost or whatever it's called her and hopefully it can spread. #arsenal

Big day for the whole club. I’m obviously incredibly biased but Arsenal take all the heat for not being top of both leagues while other clubs of large means don’t get the same heat.

Feels a bit like Arsenal are psychologically set up for the City of 2023 rather than 2025.

Looking forward to waves of (more) gaslighting about that red card now, because nobody can take their fucking blinkers off and realise that referees and PGMOL are ruining the game for everybody. We're not even ready for what the next 48 hours will hold.
