Seven changes from the XI which started against Forest. Beating the Serie A leaders away from home. Should encourage Arteta to have more faith in the squad. We are genuinely good! ❤️🤍❤️

Arsenal secure top two. Guarantees second leg at home for rest of comp. Not just that, we will face one of the teams finishing 15-18, currently: Barça, Marseille, Juve, or Galatasaray. But that can obviously change in the next 8 days.

That is exactly what we want from him! So happy for big Vik

On the pitch for five minutes and I’d love to see Esposito in red and white. Looks fucking dangerous! Hopefully Big Gabi locks him down. 🤞🏼

Arteta resting/rotating with one eye on yanited, and citeh losing in Norway. Love it, love it!

Thierry Henry on Sky Sports: "We're doing very well".

Opta Supercomputer prediction for Arsenal to win the league: 22nd December 2025 - 67.85% 18th January 2026 - 89.62% Bookmakers odds: 22nd December 2025 - 4/5 18th January 2026 - 1/5 There's been a bit of a strong reaction this weekend but we are in very much in control.

Fair play Miguel Delaney. Good to see someone is still running this story!

Away to Forest, I think 3/4 changes: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Zubimendi, Ødegaard, Rice; Madueke, Gyökeres, Martinelli. Subs: Arrizabalaga, White, Nørgaard, Merino, Jesus, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Havertz. With a small chance of Eze/Merino starting somewhere in midfield…

Win is a win, 3-2 with Gyokeres getting a goal and an assist. Valuable minutes for Jesus and Havertz too. Bring on the 2nd leg at the Emirates.

It’s good to win away, it should have been by more… But I’m confident for the second leg!

Hato fouls Kepa, taken out of the equation… considering some VAR interventions I am aghast, but PGMOL never fail to surprise me!

I fucking love Martin Zubimendi. What a player!

Lovely Zubi, 3-1! That makes up for the slip (not that the slip was his fault, I’m blaming their shot pitch!)

Not him

Gyokeres only scores against the small teams. Get in.

Yes, big Vik!

Set piece FC olé olé!

Just coming on here to say that I fucking love Kai Havertz.

This one REALLY pissed me off. An all-time classic in “the defender has to be stronger there” if ref lets it play on there is no way VAR (with all its faults) would come back and give that as a foul! Gabby’s: “are you kidding me look at the size of him, look at the size of me” was hilarious!

It’s a tough schedule and we’re doing well. Especially if you compare it to everyone else! What I’d go with vs Pompey: Arizabalaga; Salmon/Nichols, White, Hincapié (if fit, else Big Gabi), Lewis-Skelly; Nørgaard, Merino, Eze; Madueke, Jesus, Martinelli. And I think Arteta will do similar! ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️

Liverpool failed to land a shot on target in a Premier League match for the first time since March 2010 versus Wigan Athletic. #ARSLIV

A bit meh. But 6 points clear! ❤️🤍❤️

I did some maths on St Tot. We are currently on track to be the earliest ever, according to: www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~mikepitt/to...

I imagine all the hate watchers were on citeh… But do any of you wonderful people have a reason why Romero didn’t get red when he brought down Thiago as last man? Please. I got some two minute highlights package with no comms on what I guess is the world feed… looked a red all day long!

It has been coming…

NEW: A series of narrow wins has plenty of Arsenal fans nervy and it can feel like luck is being ridden. But maybe it's Arsenal's opponents who are lucky to be avoiding bigger defeats? likeanewsletter.substack.com/p/riding-you...

Has your club ever been top of the tree on Christmas day? 🎄

Merry Xmas all. My bro came through with this excellent @poorlydrawnarsenal.com t-shirt! Class 👌🏼❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️ shop.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/en-aud

I feel like last year’s incredibly soft penalty for Saliba on Joao Pedro vs Brighton has made lots of people feel like we got lucky today (Saliba on Barry). But I feel like no penalty is the right call on both. And that’s just like my opinion man….

Looked like (hopefully) no new injuries today🤞🏼. My lineup vs Crystal Palace: Arrizabalaga; Salmon/Nichols, Saliba, Hincapié, Lewis-Skelly; Nørgaard, Nwaneri, Eze; Madueke, Merino, Martinelli. SUBS 9 of: Raya, Timber, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Ødegaard, Saka, Trossard, Gyökeres, Jesus.

There’s no denying we deserved that. Would have been nice to add the goals I think we merited, but an equaliser would have been criminal!

Rob Edwards was the manager of the last two teams to score three times in a match against Arsenal. 6/12/23 Luton Town 3-4 Arsenal 13/12/25 Arsenal 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Thank Jesus!

I’m hearing Rice, Timber, Saliba and Trossard all back in the squad today. How many would you start? My XI: Raya; Timber, Nørgaard, Hincapié, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Eze, Ødegaard; Saka, Gyökeres, Madueke. Subs: Arrizabalaga, White, Saliba, Zubimendi, Nwaneri, Merino, Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus.

Here comes Salmon. What a great experience for the 16-year-old! Benny Blanco has looked tired since 40 minutes, hardly surprising in his third start in 8 days, following a long stint in the wilderness…

Welcome back Gabby Jesus!

Martinelli! 🚀

Yes Noni!!!

Yes Noni!!!

I think Arteta goes stronger than me vs Brugge… But I’d be: Arizabalaga; White, Timber, Hincapié, Lewis-Skelly; Nørgaard, Merino/Eze, Nwaneri; Madueke, Gyökeres, Martinelli. Mad/Gyö/Mart replaced on 60ish by Saka/Jesus/Hale Ender! COYG!!!

Big Eight Head to Heads: 11 pts Arsenal (played 7 Home 2 Away 5) 10 pts Villa (pld 5 H3 A2) 9 pts Liverpool (pld 6 H3 A3) 7 pts Man City (pld 6 H3 A3) 7 pts Chelsea (pld 4 H2 A2) 7 pts Man Utd (pld 5 H2 A3) 5 Newcastle (pld 5 H4 A1) 5 Spurs (pld 6 H3 A3) Arsenal have had the harder fixture list.

Max Dowman is ridiculous.

The disrespect shown here!!! Defender one: megged. Defender two: sent for a hotdog by a pirouette. Goalkeeper: chipped. Handing out beatings left, right and center. Why Max, why??? 🤭😮‍💨

I’ve seen a lot of goodly mornings on my feed, but for me it’s a goodly night at 10:30pm, after getting up for kick off at 3:30am. Didn’t even need caffeine because I am still buzzing! ❤️🤍❤️🤍

This season in all competitions Arsenal have scored 39, conceded 6, drawn 2, and lost 1, with 15 wins and 13 clean sheets. EPL W9 D2 L1 GF24 GA6 UCL W4 D0 L0 GF11 GA0 EFL Cup W2 D0 L0 GF4 GA0

Let’s not speak about that! ❤️🤍❤️

Very much this!

Mad for it!
