Sometimes I wonder if I think about Arsenal too much...then I go back to thinking about Arsenal. Block 9. #LatteFirm. Honest to my federation.

0-0 away on a cold midweek night up north is top 3 worst experiences. Would do again.

Saw West Ham bring on Evan Ferguson late in the game. We could’ve ended the Neto loan and got a tried and tested Premier League player that was available on deadline day. Surely they didn’t think he’s a worse option than Merino / Sterling up top.

The Leicester game could’ve easily ended how today’s game went if they scored that chance. We’ve at best got a goal in us in the game but if we concede, that slim chance also disappears because of our inability to create chances

Hopium here is wolves tend to win back to back before reverting to type

That Havertz news has floored me man. I’m done ffs.

This rare Saliba disasterclass.

Fuck around Find out

Every weekend was so mentally taxing because we were always just one defeat / draw away from catastrophe. After last the win last weekend I’ve made my peace that league isn’t happening this season - they’ll take revenge for the way their mate got dragged in public.

Yesterday started with Sky saying PGMOL stand by their decision, to saying it’s one journalists information to ending the day with PGMOL statement about abuse. I’m sure today will bring new and more innovative gaslighting from them.

I didn’t celebrate when we scored. It was partly expecting some ridiculous infringement from VAR and partly everything around that red card. It’s the first time I’ve felt the season is done - today was one too many incidents of “inconsistent” refereeing for me to think there’s not more at play

After Oliver there were 2 x linesmen 1 x 4th official 1 x VAR 1 x Assistant VAR That’s 5 people who could’ve interjected and said, mate, think that over… Instead they all contributed to the insanity. It’s not bad refereeing, they are manufacturing outcomes

Our obsession with wanting to play the perfect pass, the perfect goal kick, the perfect throw in does more damage to our game than anything our opponents inflict. We kill any momentum we build ourselves.

Cunha tomorrow

Wolves away next which means it’s that time of the season again.

For tomorrow I’m thinking Raya Partey Kiwior Gabriel Zinchenko Jorginho Rice Ødegaard Martinelli Havertz Trossard Back line isn’t ideal but there’s no way we should be playing Timber. He’s looking exhausted and probably on the verge of injury

We’re back to 6 point gap. Have to expect nothing short of a win at Anfield which will be tall order given we’ve not won there in so long. That brings it to 3pts so still have to hope on Everton and one other doing us a favour while we have to be perfect.

Everyday we let go by without signing an attacker will cost us. At some stage players will start to lose motivation because it’s abundantly clear we’re short and there’s no urgency nor ambition

Ref thought he done his ACL but really Porro just wanted to lie down and cry for a bit at what just happened.

Wanted to kms when Ødegaard missed that chance Tierney created. It felt like a game defining moment but thankfully it wasn’t.

That Zubimendi deal is somewhat out of the blue and yet somehow not surprising. Fits the profile and I think has the same agent as Arteta but after all that talk of missing the mountains last summer after rejecting Liverpool, I thought he’d end up at Madrid under Alonso next season.

There’s 2 ways a team can go from here. Either deeper into the hole or come out fighting to turn it around.

Worst part of losing today is that it was on the BBC which means a load of people who don’t watch football usually will have opinions and I have to be in the office tomorrow and talk to them and I do not need this

I’m unsure what the plan is. We’ve known for months that a striker is absolutely crucial. Yet we’re heading into latter part of the transfer window without signing one.

It’s the weekend. United are in town. We need to talk! With @fkhanage @1Walid1 and @WaynesWorld20_ If you’ve nothing to do and you want to talk Arsenal, go grab yourself a brew and/or a snack, and join us! 🎥 10.30pm (UK) www.youtube.com/live/01yN04p... ❤️☕️

When you’re playing with a depleted right side and battling illness, putting away the first chance in a cup tie is so crucial. If Martinelli scores there, it’s a different game.

Our attack was thin when fully fit so currently a bad situation is worse. We gave everything against Brentford and the effects showed in this performance.

Form is good but this will be a tough game.
