Had a lot of fun hopping on the footy corner. www.youtube.com/live/oBzna4P... Check it out.

Tough one for Tomiyasu – really bad news for him. Hopefully he can make a full recovery soon. 👊

One exceptional trait Mikel has is he never makes excuses. When we aren't good enough, regardless of injuries, he's the first to own up; this was especially true during our poor form during lockdown. Ange, Ten Hag and Amorim could learn a thing or two. #COYG

Still buzzing from the win against Leicester. Hopefully Arteta learns and starts Merino going forward, and sterling only gets dead minutes to protect Ethan and Leo. Knew Merino would do it for us! #COYG

From the dopamine buzz of thrashing City, to a mood killer of no transfers during the window in 24 hrs. I get being disciplined is important but this club needs a crowning moment; if Watkins was there at 60mill, a win now striker, you do it. #COYG #AFC

Derbies are often horrible games. I think this was borderline one of those but after the week we've had, the only thing that matters is the three points. GET THE FUCK IN! What a performance from Myles Lewis-Skelly by the way. Barely into double figures in appearances and he does that - wow!

I got my season ticket in 1992 so when I say I’ve seen some great defenders I’ve seen the best. Gabriel Magalhães stands shoulder to shoulder with the best I’ve seen.

It's been a tough week, but what a fantastic win all things considered. North London is red, real privilege to have been there. Enjoy gooners!

Raya was booked in the first half at Palace for time wasting. Comparing that to what’s happening here is exasperating. We need a more objective measure for time wasting, the refs are too dumb not to be governed by narrative on this.

Don't think that could have gone worse. Out of the FA Cup, lost Gabriel Jesus to potentially serious injury, missed a load of chances, missed a penalty, played 30 mins of extra-time ahead of a North London derby, and the heartache of losing a penalty shoot-out. A disaster of a day.

Missed a load of presentable chances and got a big injury to an attacker. That’s the season really, isn’t it?

Match of the Day showing the touch by Saliba, saying they thought the decision was wrong. Interesting that the commentary said VAR instantaneously confirmed the decision. Seems VAR didn't bother looking at all the angles. Like that offside Brentford goal 2 seasons ago where they didn't draw lines.

We have to sign a forward. Even if the Premier League might be almost impossible come tomorrow evening, we still have two cups (right now) and the Champions League. This group can't score enough, and it needs help.

Anthony Taylor wrongly ruled out a winner versus Liverpool, didn't give a clear penalty on Martinelli from Konate and now today couldn't wait to give a contentious penalty. Wenger was correct, he's dishonest to his federation. He can get in the bin alongside Howard Webb.

There are justifiable anxieties cos we’ve lost Saka and Salah is trending towards the best individual PL season of all time. But just have a little look through our results in the last two months. We’re very good and playing very well.

Clever management from Amorim really. Managing up as well as down ( fan expectations) . Essentially saying anything except from relegation is a success for Manchester United, and that he deserves a crack next season regardless of results.

Arsenal have more points than any other Premier League team in 2025. #BREARS

Proud of that performance in very difficult circumstances. Blew them away in the 2nd where I was fearing another Fulham away type of day. Now @Arsenal go and buy an attacker!!!

Couldn't make it to the game today. Wasn't a great watch and in some ways was the perfect result for Mikel. He was putting pressure on KSE and the board for some signings in January and hopefully this proves to the directors that we need attacking reinforcements going forward. COYG! #ARSIPS

Heartbreak with that offside. I think mikels subs were done at the wrong time. Just as we were starting to purr should have left it a few mins longer, especially Trossard for Nelli. I had made peace with the title being over after Chelsea but this seems like the final nail.

"Arsenal’s reputation from set plays precedes them now, which creates an aura around corners and Jover and Arsenal, undoubtedly, seek to tap into the psychological aspect of the routine." Couldn't be anything more true than this from @tim-stillman.bsky.social from yesterday's match.Set pieces again.

Never doubted him 🔥 Will be in my FPL team for the entire season

Was listening to @poznaninmypants.bsky.social on the @arsenalvpodcast.bsky.socials IR. Paul made a great point about how we can thank Salah for Saka with Saka putting up Salah numbers and analysing Salah's movements and positioning. We don't hype up Saka enough. 5 years with his G/A going up-Unreal

Liverpool this season.

Good read in the athletic about Pepe's Arsenal's struggles. Always had a soft spot for him. Baffled me why Mikel brought in Willian just when he was coming into good form. Eye opening that Unai pushed hard for him when it was always assumed that he was a Raul signing.

Was good to be back at the carpet yesterday. We looked like Arsenal again! MØ sublime, Calafiori and Timber both have made us more unpredictable. Kiwior at RB and Zinny at LB have shown we have to utilise our squad. Was good Rice and Kai got a rest and Merino looked like Xhaka next to MØ.
