Totally agree with all of this, albeit I will bow down to knowledge of the defensive angles.

I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever seen Trossard run so much. I really rate him so this new evolution is very, very welcome.

Timber just gets better and better. What a player.

Looking forward to the feast of chances theyโ€™ll create for Gyokeres.

Can see him getting some goals today. Deep defence, but opportunities from through balls to him and his ability to finish will be important.

Thatโ€™s one of the real struggles with the WSL the games growing faster than the quality of refereeing.

They need to look at it and look to recruit from outside the UK if the talent isnโ€™t here.

Glad to see Lotte back in. I think sheโ€™s a tremendous player and Iโ€™m not sure why sheโ€™s been overlooked this season. I appreciate the emergence of Katie Reid, but Lotteโ€™s already so experienced. She deserves this opportunity

He is absolutely low-key bossing every game he plays in. Already one of the first and most essential names on the team sheet for me.

He adds a level of control that we havenโ€™t seen here at Arsenal.

Seriously this level of analysis isnโ€™t seen enough.

Top work. Chapeau my man. I am totally here for this. โค๏ธ

Absolutely agree re Gyokeres, I find it encouraging that the connections are starting to form and theyโ€™re finding his runs.

Odegaard being back in this team is going to be huge for him. Out of every player we have, Odegaard is the one that holds the technical keys to this team and will unlock Gyok

Genuinely I had real fear that the football gods were going to screw us again.

We did enough to win it twice over. Delighted with the result and my guttural shout when Gabiโ€™s header went in had the Dog scuttling to see if I was injured.

The wife just shouted at me to shut up. ๐Ÿคซ

Best result ever

Gutted, the circus tent idea totally hit the ethos of the club.

Whereโ€™s its identity going to come from now?

Done. โœ”๏ธ

I go to a fair bit of non-league counties football up here and thereโ€™s a lot of them. Iโ€™ve winced a few times as players have clattered into them.

The home ground for Ashton Town FC has horse racing style barriers rather than solid hoardings. Miles safer.

You can't trust these people. I wonder why this isn't on the main News home page of the Reform-promoting BBC?

Looks fairly simple, took him out to DOGSO.

Itโ€™s far out, but from a photo we canโ€™t judge pace/direction of the ball.

I guess you canโ€™t have enough goal scorerโ€™s?

Wood tried to pin and spin Mosquera early on, failed and then went to try and bully / rile up Gabriel.

What a day for him. Got the square root of fuck all.

Love to see it.

Ref cam is right up there in the top 5 things that no one asked for that the league thought we needed along with half-time interviews, PGMOL and Howard Webb (special mention)

At some point someone has to look at these inter-club transfers.

They smell a bit off to me.

Deserved it. What a talent. Glad heโ€™s back on the pitch.

Everything about this video is cringe.

Onana massively exposed by poor defence loses confidence #shock

Wish him all the best, deserved better than what ManYoo gave him.

Players are very comfortable at our club and seem to rarely twerk/agitate for a move away.

Great for keeping players you want. Shifting the deadwood is a significant challenge

For me, Bertaโ€™s been given a great hand to play and heโ€™s played it well.

He needs to demonstrate he can trade out players with value and extract that in the deals and shake the soft-touch negotiations.

That said, give the guy a lemon to sell and all he can do is try and shift it. He did that.

10.09.2025 11:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think itโ€™s more an acknowledgment of how much a massive part of our potential success Saka is and we need to have an option so he doesnโ€™t have to play 90 mins every week.

Madueke is a pretty good analog for Saka.

There are differences in style, but similar runs.

A brilliant piece of business.
