How much of the demand here comes from ticket hoarding sites that will sell on for profit? If there's any upside to this, it would be that they could drive themselves out of business.

Say what you want about Verstappen. He is a joy to watch in races like this.

Had to watch the replay of F1 qualifying because of the Arsenal game. Very impressive by Antonelli on a day where Russell struggled. Piastri struggles again when it looks easy to Norris. Verstappen being nowhere might kill the three way championship race this weekend. Fun times.

I'm scratching my head a bit to find what I would've done. Hincapie for Cala for the fresh legs, but hard to find anyone to give us more control. Maybe MLS on to keep the ball, but for who I don't know.

Imagine taking off Gyökeres for Kai in this game. It's a whole different picture. We are good enough to win this game, but over time injuries and a lot of games will lead to some of these results. Today was that day.

Annoying. Felt like we were running on empty towards the end. Only made one substitution. I think Arteta didn't feel like he had any control to put on from the bench. We did not seem to be able to turn down the heat, and went for counters instead.

Raya, what are you made of?

Goals that go top near corner are special. Incredibly satisfying. Trossard has been good today.

I think Billy Carpenter has mentioned this, and the norwegian commentators also did in the first half. More ball in play time favours the better team. Arsenal are not wasting time on throw-ins this half.

I love Saka

Friday Afternoon Clive!

I'm here for that thread.

At this point I'm not even sure the penalty would have been on target.

But once again, Arsenal are relying on those set pieces. Jover masterclass.

That's such a dissatifying penalty to get. Don't want that kind of stuff in the game.

Did that last weekend in Norway.

I remember he hooked MLS against PSV when he was on the edge. Surprised he hasn't done the same with Tross here.

I wouldn't have too much of an issue with Trossard seeing red for that. It's stupid. It has no place in the game.

I noticed he said Brentford was "two days later" from Frankfurt, as well. That was wednesday to saturday. Spinning narrative or not understanding how time works?

We went through some of the same last year, although not in a run. In my opinion Arteta handled it better.

Has Myles gotten taller?

I stand by this.

I know Dowman is the stuff, but one takeaway for me from that first half is that Merino is a good player. Not that people saying he's bad, or that he's had an exeptional half, but every time he's involved he just looks like the grown up on the pitch.

Am I wrong for reading this as he literally wrote on a baseball?

Who is this?

Ah yes, the modern titanic.

Officiating, yes, but tactics, no. When you're new to a sport the tactical insight of a commentator gives it a whole new dimension. People can mostly see what's happening, but not why.

As a punishment for driving with a broken pit limiter through the pitlane, Sainz will have to drive with a broken pit limiter through the pit lane.

How Verstappen has avoided any penalty is beyond me. Both Hamilton and Russell should feel hard done by.
