"Gila" is a local colloquialism from where I'm from to describe craziness or madness. I'm a die-hard fan of Arsenal Football Club since the 1980s. #Arsenal #AFC #COYG

This is a great piece with some cracking lines. It's so true that people think things aren't what they used to be.

His responses post match were brilliant.

"What a surprise!"

"I love my players!"

Arsenal - the team with a thousand names 🀣

Me thinks they are so rattled by the reality of "Quadruple winner" and "Greatest team ever" that they are doing everything in their power to belittle the achievement in advance.

"Villains of the Premier League" ~ since they can't beat us, they are openly declaring war. Fine if it's war they want, it's war they get.

I love this pic of Declan. "You want some? Come get some!"

Rambo is having a storming game against Manure, ending their title challenge.

Karma. It is like the football gods finally feel Arsenal has suffered enough over the decades. We are winning even when we are playing badly. And when we draw games we are supposed to win, our rivals drop even more points.

Exactly. Even if we play the most brilliant attacking football and score from open play, the media will still have something negative to say about us. Might as well give them what they want: diving, feigning injuries, time wasting, grappling, etc.

I must admit that turgid affair was hard to endure. But can we now enjoy the IRONY that despite all the noise and how poorly we played, City dropped points and we go 7 points clear.

Massive phew! We made it. We survived another heart attack, stroke, organ failure etc.

Oooo is Webby still a gooner at heart? Also Hincapie looks a lot more solid at centreback than left back.

Sure commentators, the team that is constantly fouling is NOT the one disrupting the flow of the game.

Is Kavanagh sick? That's two yellow cards in our favor. Not that I'm complaining.

Elliot Anderson I love you!

Sure. Kick the ball away right in front of the referee and no yellow card. A rule just for Arsenal players.

The one who still hasn't got fine or suspended put his team ahead of some trees. Meanwhile, the world champions are leading 3-1 thanks to their world's greatest player turning up and not getting injured.

Interesting. Some trees have the cheek to score an equalizer against that lot from Manchester that EVERYONE loves *sic*

Honestly they aren't exactly playing really well. We are making them look decent.

Finally a yellow for them. Thank you Kavanagh for suddenly remembering you're supposed to be impartial.

We are not playing as a team. Serious lack of cohesion.

Ffs they even refer to our team huddle as a time wasting tactic. This is getting way overboard.

The entire team is struggling but yes Viktor is having an awful game.

We need a siege mentality for the remaining games this season. It is literally us versus everyone else - opposing teams, officials, media. It is the same every time an Arsenal team is favourite to win something. They feel threatened and have to do everything to prevent us from winning anything.

"keep exploiting loopholes" just one example of many
