Man City vs Arsenal

Yeah, except we had 'clarity' that all we realistically needed from this game was a draw and we bottled it. Knowing what needs to be done and actually doing it are 2 very different things, and I think this team have shown us time after time that they don't have the bottle for it. City do.

Hope for the same outcome.

You could argue that Rushy has been worth more to us than Hackney has to Boro. They may well still be in the playoffs without him, I don't think we win the league without Rushworth. #PUSB

Is momentum real? Or is it just a word sports fans use to describe gamblers fallacy? A month ago City had won 1 game in 5, what momentum was being priced in for that?

Lo de Sergio Nuin no tiene un pase, pero Asier me da que sus características no valen para un equipo en descenso y que no domine los partidos. Un error tenerlo en el promesas, hubiera estado mejor en división de honor o en un equipo de arriba de segunda ref.

Actually when I ditched my old account and started the new one there's a couple I'm no longer following. One of them was a lad that a ton of Everton art/tshirts etc. Had some right good Alex Young stuff, gies a shout if you ken him

Change of topic. What are both your memories of Alex Manninger? I always thought He was a very good keeper. While he couldn't permanently take the No.1 shirt from Seaman, he was vital in that first Double win, with that FA Cup penalty save vs West Ham & those saves away at United. #arsecastextra

I’m duly rebuked. 🤣🤣☘️

Wilson has a habit of scoring goals in bursts, any chance he goes on a little scoring run in the last 5 games

i agree although think he's been better this season, haven't rated him at all until this season but think he's been good for them.

I hold Arteta responsible for certain injuries, and he's not leaving so I don't see that changing. Too many players overplayed and overused. Haven't felt this disillusioned with the club since the Super League nonsense

We didn’t start Gyokeres, and Eze didn’t finish the game. How can we expect to win trophies when our biggest signings can’t get on or stay on the pitch? Feels like we have a squad loaded with talent that isn’t quite good enough. #arsecastextra

Not really a question, but does anyone else feel more and more like Colin Firth’s character in Fever pitch? Neverthele@gunnerblog.bsky.social #arsecastextra

They’ve done it previously in past seasons. Remember we had to play United just 48 hours after they played Leicester in 2021. Might not have been in last week of season but it wasn’t far of it. Think it’ll depend if Palace get through to ECL final as that will be played midweek

Yeah, maybe there has been some complacency in certain aspects of their approach to this.

We need a better striker, but Beto has improved and wants to do his best for the club Barry has given up, seems like the "Arsenal ticket bollox" has gone to his head

I do it for the love of the game, not awards. But I shall tone it down, if that’s what you want

If we had Merino, Saka, Timber, Havertz & Trossard fit and running we’d have walked this league

Of the supporters who are overwhelmingly negative about how this season turns out, what percent would sell me their ticket to the last home match against Burnley? It could theoretically be the day we clinch the league. I'd set the over/under at 10% and would hammer the under. #ArsecasrExtra

We bid for Elanga in the Summer or January window previously if I remember right. 100% a long term top target. But yes, agree with the rest.

Last time Tottenham Hotspur won away at Wolves was under Nuno None of the Spurs players that saw the pitch on this day are still at the club. None.

I do agree with that, actually When we still had WAA, and were tinkering with the formation a few weeks ago, he was always the one I was benching When he's good, he's good, but he's out of position and inconsistent. Moriera does the same but better and Farsi will be back soon

He doesn’t get the position and leverage to get the shot off if he isn’t holding on. And he’s stopping gabi from blocking the shot. I wonder if it’s a consequence of Gabi’s antics in the box plus other muscular defending.

Annoying as heck that betting companies are on Premiership shirts in the UK.

You’ve stuck by it for the whole season. I didn’t watch the game but It sounds like arsenal could’ve take the lead just before the city winner. Im not sure city are THAT good this season either. You might still be right

To be fair, I’m pretty sure he has one goal in the PL this season and he was pretty terrible today, especially regarding his defensive duties

I completely agree but that’s only possible because we had these players on the pitch. Which for too much of this season has not been the case. Eze hasn’t been a LW option because Odegaard hasn’t been available. Gyok doesn’t come close to replicating Havertz on and off ball work for the system.

I think we are going to have to make some harsh decisions though. One I’m sure most won’t agree with is I think we should let Herrera go after his loan expires this summer.

Arsenal still in the title race, City bottled the Champions league big time.

Between you and me I am due a generous payout if/when City do it

I do too tbh. We don’t even need any favours, just win our games by as many goals as we can and it can still be ours.

Mentality & levels go hand in hand. Sometimes you will play poorly but if you have an elite attacking unit or individuals they can bail you out. likewise in big games when it’s tight. elite players can win you a game. We don’t have enough despite an outlay of £200m in the summer to get better.

We didn’t get the run of the green today. It happens, but I was pleased to see a winning mentality out there. Shame it wasn’t evident last weekend. Agree about Saka - big game player. Thought Eze was unlucky to get taken off, he was very bright.

Alter unserer Viererkette, nachdem mit Dane Kummerfeld (33) der x-te Spieler in den letzten Wochen in der 1. Halbzeit verletzt ausgewechselt werden musste: 21, 20, 20, 19. Heute ging das irgendwie gut, ich hoffe aber, dass im Endspurt noch einer der Routiniers in der IV zurückkommt.

#arsecastextra I know Arteta likely won’t change at this point, but do you think there’s a necessity to alter our approach in the remaining PL games to a more attacking mindset? We now HAVE to win our remaining games and we HAVE to extend our GD. Even winning all our games 1-0 might not be enough

You not liking Arsenal is irrelevant

He’s a troll. You go to his timeline and it’s nothing but him reposting Arsenal fans he’s baited. What a sad life he leads. And he’s married to a Gooner. Then again if this is what he does to enjoy his evenings she probably doesn’t sleep with him so maybe the frustration is understandable.

He’s been injured and not fit, otherwise I think we would have been doing so already, gyokeres is backup for Kai

You’re trying to take my words about not being swayed on a footballing decision and applying them to my outlook on life. We’re talking about one incident, specifically. You’re taking it out of context for some bullshit argument on my character. Fully not interested at this point.

Will there be a possible good ebening/bad ebening on may 24th? Or are we in ”I can’t wait!” mode to throw it away earlier? #arsecastextra

So refreshing he didn't. And he acknowledged it post match too, knew what he was or wasn't doing

I mean I think they had more touches in the box cos their players are very good!

Mings is as iconic now as he has been since he joined us on-loan, but I think he might be getting closer to the exit door.

It was more relief watching at home, but it's What's expected being a Villa fan

Of course 😀 but Liverpool is coming

Have you noticed how Odegaard has started being referred to in the press as 'club captain'? Combined with renewed calls by ex pros,and others, for Dec to be given the armband permanently i cant help feel this is disrespectful to someone who's been hampered with injury. Do you agree?

Three more points should be enough - one win or three draws. Fingers crossed but today was huge!!

Out the door. It's a shame it just hasn't worked out, technical level is just too low

Right now I just want Spurs to win a Premier League game in 2026. After that we can look forward to surviving and other things

Even if Slot stays, the midfield and RB are important fixes.

Hope you beat Sunderland next and hope you beat Villa in the Europa league, from a Newcastle fan.

It’s gone mate. The team don’t have the cajones. Liverpool had a rookie keeper between the sticks for nearly 30 mins and we didn’t lay a glove on him. Let’s go again in the summer with a reset we aren’t ready for Europe.

they played well! best i've seen them produce for weeks, maybe since the turn of the year. even after today, they're still ahead, have the easier run-in, and have got players coming back from injuries. still very much 50/50!

For context, I'm not Arteta out. I'm just interested.

The team needs to win the league coz we are the best not crazy good goals. Cities cheating got them into the position they are today and allows them to spend insanely in January. But if they do win the title then they actually are better than us this season, surely, even if years ago they cheated.

Much love. Look after family first. The Arsenal Family will always be here when needed.

Wharton [CM] replaces Macca -Camara [DM/CM] replaces Endo -Gray [RB/DM] These signings are super important regardless who replaces Slot.

What's dead rubber, about still playing for a European place.

It was fucking gold 😆 and as bad as we've been, we're still not Everton bad!

Results speak for themselves. Quick question any of you lot played in goal?
