It truly is Arsenal vs Arsenal in this title race.

We can be excited for Ethan having a good start to life in France without using it as some kind of evidence Arsenal have handled this wrong. He's playing which is good for him & us. We are top of every competition & looking to win trophies which is also good.
It's. all. good.

Invoking Titi today! COYG

Thank you so much for these kind words, I don't think I can top them so am wishing the same to you!

Weird feeling that our lead at the top of the table has been extended, but also frustration missed a real opportunity.

We just didn't do enough in the second half, Saka and Merino chances were about all we had, and they weren't exactly clear cut.

Forest made it tough, but Arsenal fell well short

I'm getting this printed out for my writing desk for when my brain refuses to listen to reason. It will listen to you! Thank you so much 💜

Because I've been psyching myself out of writing the story I want to write.

Do you somehow have access to my mind right now, Joanne?

I still do not like that man

I love how clear & straightforward & enthusiastic this is, & hope anyone who’s felt daunted by the process or prospect of a process takes a look!

last plug for this

A massive loss for Arsenal - the end of an era.

When you consider everything he's had to contend with in the last 8 years - departures at every level of the club, a pandemic, Brexit-rule changes - he's brought incredible stability to the Academy.

Big f*cking shoes to fill. Proper send-off needed.

Well deserved, Bryce! Congratulations 😊

And why ever not?

So happy for Nelli - perfect response to all the *waves around* nonsense narratives being flung about. First senior hattrick!

Even as my overflowing TBR side-eyes me 🥲

Gyokeres now looks like Havertz did before he found his feet and some form.

He needs something to go for him, to seed his confidence and belief.

He can be important to us, but he needs wind in his sails.

Yes, even more reason to respect him for that! And lol yeah immature fans always be immaturing but Kerkez's dad, why? 😅
