All I can say to Wrexham fans is - if you make it to the prem next season welcome to the nightmarish hellscape that is VAR. Never celebrate goals and wait for the dreaded VAR review screen to decide your fate

You gave Chelski All Stars a hell of a game, deserved to win, they’re the worst.

I disagree with that decision, he barely flicks his shin pad as he’s bringing his foot down, he’s not studs up.

It’s certainly an β€˜orange’ tackle for speed but when the ref gives that as a yellow I really don’t think that’s clear and obvious. VAR ruining a good game as usual, unlucky Wrexham

Well it was scrappy but job done. Only take home I have from that game comes in the form of two words: Max Dowman 🀯 πŸ”₯

Being the best player on the pitch at his age in a team of established players, many trying to make their own claim for the 1st XI is nothing short of phenomenal #quadson #COYG πŸ”΄βšͺ️

Arsenal seem to be playing a… 325 today? 415? 406? It’s gonna be fun πŸ˜‚ amazing to see Dowman start too, hope he has a stunner!

🎡 Everybody Hurz 🎡 at the Emirates next season please. It’s funny how Brighton aka the only team who play football are 13th and going nowhere, whilst enemies of football Arsenal are challenging on four fronts and have scored the most goals in the prem this season. I believe the term is β€˜cry more’ πŸ˜‚

Arsenal were a lot better after the changes. Havertz + Calafiori were reassuring in possession, hope they get back to full fitness and are a big part of the rest of the season, huge win

And obviously I’ve always loved Forest. That last sequence at the end no idea how City didn’t score πŸ’ͺ🏻 #coyg πŸ”΄βšͺ️

Agreed, I’d consider dropping Eze deeper in build up and playing Saka as a 10. Just change the dynamic in some way, run channels with Martinelli and Gyok. We look swarmed in build up and outnumbered when we try and press

Tough away game so far, chances at a premium and Arsenal are lacking a lot in terms of presence up top and playing through the press

Hope Arteta has something up his sleeve to change things because this feels like a game with a heartbreaking end. Need some attacking threat #Focus #COYG πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ”΄βšͺ️

@arsenalfc.bsky.social I don’t think you sent an email re: the purchase window for Season Ticket holders for the Leverkusen game. Only noticed it was live when I was looking on my account today.

Arsenal season ticket holders don’t know if I missed the email but Leverkusen home leg reserved tickets are live til Friday 1pm, make sure you buy yours if you’re not in the full cup scheme! #quadson #COYG πŸ’ͺ🏻 πŸ”΄βšͺ️

Goodly evening gents, noticeable no. of relieved sighs leaving the ground today!

I find our build-up play paradoxical; slow when 0-0/1 goal up mid game, yet lump forward at the death when defending a lead. Why do we forsake the horseshoe when we need it most? @gunnerblog.bsky.social #arsecastextra

Nothing about the end of the game was enjoyable, number of relieved sighs coming out the ground is noticeable πŸ˜‚

Somehow sucked into a high wire act against 10 men when it felt we needed to horseshoe it to death. That said, it’s a win, it’s 3 points against Chelsea. It’s 9 games to go #COYG πŸ”΄βšͺ️

So I’ve decided Sp*rs means we’ve turned a corner and we’re going to win pretty comfortably today, and for all remaining games of the season. Gyokeres will bang in goals, Eze likewise, Saka will torment and we’ll stop conceding. I’ll be accepting no other opinions at this time #COYG #quadson πŸ’ͺ🏻 πŸ”΄βšͺ️

Goodly morning gents, credit to @goonlighting.bsky.social for this - I’d 8-2 be a Spurs fan today

Sure you’ll cover this in general discussion; what is it about big games that unlocks Eze and how can we get this level of performance til the end of the season? #arsecastextra @gunnerblog.bsky.social

Well that was fucking excellent, what a response after the last two. Eze and Gyokeres (especially) were outstanding

Really hope this is a standard setter for the rest of the season, no more lackadaisical aimless passing. Everything with intent, it’s ours to win, let’s go and take it #COYG!! πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ”΄βšͺ️

I’d like Arsenal to get in the habit of shooting when they have a half chance. Too many times that half there was another chop and the defender reads it because they’re not expecting a shot or are good enough to not over commit

Rice brain fart aside we’ve been much better. Keep it up. πŸ’ͺ🏻 #COYG πŸ”΄βšͺ️

22.02.2026 17:28 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Maybe Rice was just fed up of how we play when we’re protecting a lead? Having absolutely none of it.

All joking aside we’re well on top, let’s just go again

Champions elect don’t lose 2 goal leads against bottom of the table by playing scared, bad football.

Arteta has made Arsenal into a fine margins team against almost all opposition. We need some spark and intent, get to 3-0 then β€˜calm’. It’s boring to watch and inexcusable when it doesn’t work.

I don’t know much about Curling but my impression is that GB over complicate things. A kind of purist 4D chess approach when a bit more β€˜get the stones close to the middle’ is needed.

Stay tuned as I’ll be giving my expert opinion on bobsleigh and figure skating soon πŸ˜‚ #winterolympics

Incredibly frustrating that Arsenal kept feeding Brentford’s only weapon in attack with poor, rushed clearances. Killed our momentum and created pressure by having series of corners and throw ins

That said, the moment at 1-0 up and Martinelli at the end have to be goals. Wolves = must win #COYG πŸ”΄βšͺ️

12.02.2026 22:05 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Arsenal grew into that half after a pretty rocky period. Would like to see less funnelling the ball out wide from dangerous positions and a bit more central risk taken; few half turn shots to unsettle the Brentford defence

Also, just take the fullback on 1st time rather than slow recycle #COYG πŸ”΄βšͺ️

Goodly morning gents, joyful in the ground on Saturday, Zubi’s goal so satisfying in the Clock End

Do you think shots from outside the box should be encouraged more in our game plan? Rice, Zubi, Eze all capable and could unsettle low block defence/unlock games @gunnerblog.bsky.social #arsecastextra

Thankfully this Chelsea team, though full of twats, had no ball twatters today

Torn between respecting how we leant into our defensive solidity in a Gandalf-esque show of defiance vs questioning what we would’ve done if they’d scored

Anyway, we’re the famous Arsenal and we’re going to Wembley! πŸ”΄βšͺ️

It’s fine… but I have a worry that this game feels like a β€˜aha, tactical stalemate!’ Arteta game where the opposition suddenly twat one in and Arsenal are then sad, angry and frantic.

Hope I’m wrong but want more intent, more solutions to the 5-0-5 formation Chelsea are playing. #COYG πŸ’ͺ🏻 πŸ”΄βšͺ️

Bit late on this due to family life, but what an emphatic response to the questions raised last weekend

Arsenal dominant throughout and deserved the win. Gyokeres had his best game for us, Noni great too. For all the talk of personnel change, felt like everyone just stepped it up a gear #COYG πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ”΄βšͺ️

I don’t know if anyone here plays FC26 but I just have to share this somewhere πŸ˜‚. From a random 83x10 upgrade pack I just got this… I don’t think I’ve ever packed a TOTY before let alone the most expensive card in the game by a mile. Absurd pack luck

β€˜Can we play you every week?’

Just not sure if I’m talking about their team or ours πŸ˜‚

Delightful change of pace and a palate cleanser from the recent stodge of the premier league. Sure it’s a lot of column A and a little of column B but the direct running and speed of pass has been great #COYG πŸ’ͺ🏻

Really enjoy the lineup for tonight. Hope Arsenal play with freedom and try to get in the right headspace for the challenges ahead

A lot has been said and written in the last few days, some fair, some by goldfish. Time to remind everyone who we are and that we are favourites for a reason #COYG πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ”΄βšͺ️

We just don’t seem to have any attacking shape through the middle at the moment. That said we turned a dominant 1-0 up into a horror show through our own stupidity. Ridiculously bad performance for would be title winners
