Mudryk was posting loads about Arsenal on Instagram before joining us, yet hasn’t posted a thing since signing for Chelsea. Something not right about how that all went down. Reckon he’s been told where to go and there are some politics involved.
Imagine being a Spurs fan knowing that if you lose against City on Thursday you’re fucked, and if you win against City you’re also fucked as you give us a chance to extend our lead. Miserable existence.
Arsenal are set to announce the signing of Declan Rice tomorrow after he completed the majority of his media obligations, including at the Emirates Stadium, today.
Statement signing.
Turns out the referee who didn’t award us a penalty and disallowed our goal, which would’ve taken us back to the top of the league above Liverpool, is a Liverpool fan.
No further comment.
Mikel Arteta has rattled the entire UK football fraternity. Referees, pundits, ex-players, rival fans and media all frothing at the mouth. We are most definitely back.
Excellent performance today from The Arsenal. Arteta finally put his faith in the kids and they repaid him. Sprinkle some Thomas Partey, Gabriel and Aubameyang on this team and there’s your blueprint for the rest of the season.
An independent Regulatory Commission has found the charge against Mikel Arteta for an alleged breach of FA Rule E3.1 to be not proven.
Full statement and written reasons:
Michael Oliver, who refused to send Mateo Kovacic off for what was an obvious instance of two yellows (and possibly a straight red), recently travelled to the UAE to referee a game and was paid by the same people who own Manchester City.
Offered without further comment.
The Luton manager said we’re the only team in the league that can play any way, and this game has been a perfect example of that.
High press. Low block. Long balls. Intricate passing. Set pieces. You name it..
Wenger used to force players to do 50 press ups in the dressing room for every missed pass to a player in a better position. Eddie would be holding 250 press ups this season already

“The price tag is clear”, he added.
Didn’t think I’d see the day we spend £100m on a player, but here we are. Beating Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich to one of the best midfielders in Europe.
Enjoy it, folks.
In Arsenal vs Manchester City and Chelsea vs Liverpool, we’ve watched the 4 best teams in the country play each other this weekend. Football of the highest quality.
Listen to this interview from Mikel after nicking a result vs Liverpool and then listen to Ten Hag’s interview after the game today.
I’d be worried if I was a United fan, he’s delusional.
Honestly if Partey was fit, we would’ve beat United comfortably and would be sitting with 7 wins out of 7. We are the most impressive team in the league right now, no doubt.
Declan Rice should’ve been £150m. Best holding midfielder in Europe on current form. Puts in a monster performance like that despite being ill last night. Something else.

Disappointing news, Clive. A big part of my youth was listening to you commentate on Arsenal in Europe. And one of my favourite goals and pieces of commentary was this. The famous “ahh!”
Will be a big loss for the league. Rivalries aside, most football supporters have always respected him and the job he has done. Hope he is in good health.
Not sure how Arteta is going to get his massive balls into his car tonight. Disciplined his captain and talisman and still took home the 3 points in the derby. Masterclass of a performance too. What a man.
Saturday is going to be a belter. Big pitch. High line from Villa. What an opportunity for us to send a message to the rest of the league. Will need to be at our best.
Nwaneri turns 17 next month where he’ll sign professional terms with us. The club have smashed their wage structure and policy for both him and Lewis-Skelly, who signed terms last year. Top talents.
Most of us wanted change. But deep down we all love that man, and we all know he truly cares about our club. Full houses for the rest of the season. Europa League Winners please. Big Weng 👊🏻
Turns out that the Referee and VAR Official for our game against United tomorrow are both from Greater Manchester. Expect a few questionable decisions, will effectively be 11vs13.
Wow. Gary Neville has managed to (subtly) take a dig at Arteta whilst this match is still going on. Like there’s not a million things to talk about in the game itself.
Agenda is clear.
Partey’s quality was so obvious today. The way he takes possession so calmly and finds passes between the lines makes a big difference. Shame he wasn’t sharp enough to start because we could’ve done with his composure when playing out.
I’ve defended Zinchenko before but I can’t anymore. The entire mood and momentum shifted when he booted the ball out of play. That moment was the Arsenal of old - too nice and too naive.
Arsenal need to make a quick decision on Emery. We moved on from Wenger to improve - NOT stay the same or go backwards. This manager arguably has better players at his disposable yet the football is atrocious and the results are average. I think we can do better.
Important win and solid performance for 97 minutes. Stupid last 5. White had a proper go at Zinchenko at FT, had to be kept apart. Love the passion, how it should be.
Every season you think you see the worst refereeing decision possible at Old Trafford, only for it to be surpassed the season after. Scandalous decision.
