Arsenal, title terrors, ‘that’ Blackburn match and the need for perspective To tell yourselves some home truths and challenge yourselves to be better when you are four points clear is not such a disaster

Title terrors are all about the response. Can't forget Arsenal 1 Blackburn 3 in 1997 which provoked a legendary team meeting. Hearts on sleeve, they challenged each other. As Adams said to Bergkamp back then: "Isn't it about time you won something here?"

After hitting performance against Man Utd it’s time to get the feel good factor against Kairat followed by a professional performance against Leeds

Interesting to see the team selections for both games, changes are essential

MLS, like Calafiori, showing why they’re great in the inverted LB position… so much freedom to roam, creating an extra body and giving opposition players difficult situations to deal with.

Superb by Myles there, lovely finish from Martinelli too

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

This is utter gaslighting 101, it’s shameful, it’s pathetic.

There’s now so many clips of this show that we all have the receipts and can quite easily pick out examples of where Howard Webb says exactly the opposite of what he’s previously said.

Utter shambles.

What a great win that was against the Toon!

A great win - hard work but the squad depth made the difference.
Both Martinelli and Trossard can be ‘super subs’ a lot this season I think. Both players are ‘finishers’ imo

Well done, Gunners 👏🏼👏🏼

Big game today - what should really seen as a ‘home banker’, we can’t lose focus. 3 points essential and a good performance is needed

In less than a week we’ll be enjoying the 3 points we win at Old Trafford!

I’m feeling confident about that game - how about you?

It’s Matchday!
Arsenal are back at the Emirates Stadium to take on Villarreal tonight.
Hopefully we get to see the likes of Gyokeres, Zubi and Noni etc all get good minutes.

Would be good to see Downan make a cameo too!?

⚽️ Arsenal v Villarreal

⏰ Kick-off 6pm

Have you made an Arsenal one that includes Gyokeres, Mosquera etc…?

Ethan Nwaneri in the bag. This one is as much on Mikel Arteta as it is on Andrea Berta - he has been managed superbly, with only Cesc Fabregas playing more minutes for #Arsenal before turning 18. Huge extension ahead of a massive season for him.

Gyokeres confirmation surely only 48 hours away now, if that…

If we close the window with singing;

Kepa
Mosquera
Zubamendi
Norgaard
LW - Rodrygo/Eze
Sesko

I’ll be very pleased with that, can’t fault that window 🤞🏼

3/4 of them definitely are and we will sign a LW…

Maybe not the profile for a TP replacement but he will surely need replacing

• Zubamendi
• Sesko
• Kepa

Followed by a very good LW - ideally Rodrygo or Barcola - and that’s a great window.

I wouldn’t rule out a defender and if Partey goes we need someone in - not sure who though, ideally someone that’s 19-23 and still has a lot of development left in them

I just want Arteta to get his first choice for once.

I personally wanted Sesko but that’s partly driven from Arteta wanting him for so long, alongside my own feeling that he’s going to be a top player, who has already got a number of strings to his bow.

Great signing 👌🏼

and here's a bit of my view on Sesko and CF options this summer from the same pod:

What was I wrong about?
Both will get minutes next season.

Absolutely delighted with this. I truly believe he’s the best option out there right now 👌🏼

I feel like I’ve been in the minority of wanting Sesko over Gyokeres

I’m very pleased with this evenings news, I really believe we’re making the right choice 👌🏼
