Got to stay awake to sustain my night shift clock. The post match discourses are helping massively.

Any chance of a ‘30’ Podcast for these midweek matches @arseblog.com? A lot to laugh a celebrate about!

There are times I hate football. Despise football. It makes me feel terrible for 90 minutes. But when the game ends with Arsenal holding the 3 points, it reminds me why I love this wonderful game.

Spurs lose tomorrow and they are just one point off the drop. One.

Winning in that manner is the ‘inevitability’ we bemoan when our rivals do the same.

And with West Ham winning and Forest drawing, Spurs move ever closer to the drop…

We have HOUSED that win tonight. Housed it. Against Wolves, we didn’t get away with it. Tonight, we did.

Just caught the end of the City Forest match. What a heroic clearance off the line at the death! What a pivotal moment that could be. Up there with Gabriel’s goal-line clearance at the start tonight.

Wolves stopped our title charge, but tonight, it is back on! This is a massive night in the title race, a break point moment that we have taken at last. On such nights seasons can swing. Have to make this moment count, don’t step back, keep on pushing.

FOREST!!!

AND WE HAVE!!!

I fear Mosquera is on a tightrope. A red card waiting to happen. Can Arsenal afford to hook him at half time?

We’re going to hold out for a 1-0 win, aren’t we?

Was the four minute spell of Sanchez thinking he’d be fouled by an invisible defender for the Timber goal and Pedro Neto’s daft second yellow for sliding into Martinelli the funniest moment of the season so far? #arsecastextra

I’m surprised Liam Rosenior didn’t try emptying the penalty box at corners again…

All I know about Barts is that Sherlock faked his death by jumping off the roof…
