Rob Preston

Reading this, it struck me that it’s possible he could be converted to a Striker (big & fast, plays off both sides, dribbles well, lots of shots). At the risk of trying to turn every young winger into Thierry Henry, any thoughts on whether this could be a fit for him?

Tell him he is 20 until he is 21?

FFS. Bertie Mee signed Bergkamp. Plastic fans 🙄

Beautiful except for when he forgot he had arms and hands agains City

xG overperformance seems to be an area where data and the eye test don’t line up. Could that be because xG only registers when you take a shot, and we pass up too many opportunities to shoot (either no shot or no-one getting on the end of a cross), or some other reason?

Beautiful 😭

I can imagine - will keep an eye out for it. Thank you!

Sorry if already asked, but any plans for an Arsenal Women mug?

Just a shame Arsenal defenders aren’t allowed to head the ball and then still have a head a split second later

Love that the missus & I are in the background of this photo!

We are, mate!

This is amazing!

Robinson or Gordon would both complete the Ant & Dec set so happy with either

And Camavinga getting a yellow card

Simply incredible

But did anyone check if Newcastle’s fans are allowed to celebrate? It is only the Carabao…

Adidas have just released a range of Merino wool sweaters

Plus the argument of reducing time played by 1st choice players without acknowledging that putting others who aren’t up to it on the pitch will cost you points also seems a little disingenuous

They haven’t won anything. Disgraceful

Arsenal fan here!

Who’d have thought at the start of the season that we’d have an injury list that long and Partey wouldn’t be on it?

Was thinking they would at least wait until tomorrow to screw us

Could have made history by being the first player ever to get a straight red for showing his six pack

Nothing will convince me that the initial decision wasn’t a DOGSO. The excessive force / violent conduct thing is merely Oliver’s VAR mates trying to muddy the waters

Assume you were watching the Peacock (US) show. Commentators during the game tying themselves in knots to justify it, after the game Robbie Earl said it was possibly the worst decision all season

Thanks - required post match reading!

Excellent piece - thanks Mike

A few weeks ago we had no Left Backs. Yesterday we had 4 on the bench!

Interesting, I hadn’t heard that - I thought Arteta reported into Edu, at least nominally

Feels like a baptism of fire for Jason Ayto - could easily imagine Arteta saying we have to bring someone in, and the owners saying we should wait for the Summer. It’s a fine line to tread
