You completely outplayed them. Fair play! Was a fun match to watch and I think the players gave absolutely everything. Hall looks a tidy player and Joelington is such a nimble player for a guy his size. Unlucky at the end. Very much deserved the win. Now go kick their butts in Spain!
Mourinho’s Chelsea wanted to play? Honestly?
Data is beautiful
Chef’s kiss
FACTS. Nice one @orbinho.bsky.social
I remember when Arsene revolutionised the Premier with breathtaking skillful football and arseholes like Pulis & Allerdyce (and the media) called us southern softies and bottlers for not being physical, by which they meant kicking our players in the air and thinking a draw against us was a win.
@orbinho.bsky.social do you have any updated data on this in the PL? I could only find data from last October.
This is ChatGPT (yeah I know 🤢, just no other available data I can find) update now.
This is official data from last October.
Arsenal are NOWHERE NEAR the top of teams that have the ball least in play this year. Same for time taken for restarts. We did a dirty yesterday but it is in no way a trend. So every single journalist’s job should be to bring up FACTS against manager OPINIONS. But as we see in politics, they don’t.

We have plenty confidence players. Declan is most definitely not one of them. Same with Saka, Raya, Zubi, Myles, Timber. What an odd thing to say.
Cheating? In Italian football? NO. WAY.
Arsenal fans voted Viktor Gyokeres as their Player of the Month for January
Meanwhile, Nick Woltemade, who was hailed when he first arrived & used as a stick to beat Gyokeres, hasn't scored in 12 games.
Gyokeres, who cost nearly £10m less, has 1 goal more.
Almost like players need time to settle
Love this!
People can do whatever they want, but it doesn’t mean you can’t get called out for acting like a petulant 5-year-old who was told ‘no cake’. It’s toxic and will affect our performances. I hope people in the stadium call these idiots out.
This reaches new levels of delusion. Teams we all made fun of for being completely toxic (Real Madrid, Barca…).
One thing about the united defeat I can’t shake: the booing of the fans at full time. Sure everybody is anxious. But booing? Honestly?

Which is exactly why considering trophies as the only criteria for success is the best recipe to be miserable.
Declan Rice at full-time: “Fucking shit, every fucking time!” 🤬
Two words: Noni Madueke.
Frustrating to see 80% of balls going to Gyokeres being badly executed.
Saka is having a very tough game. Every single ball through Gyokeres went astray and hasn’t created much. Cucurella is a slimey little bastard, but he always defends against Bukayo really well.
😂 ok bye bye
And he is way better and gracious in defeat than most during press confs, (bar the time when he lost his shit vs Newcastle): always giving credit to the other team in defeat, usually diminishing drama (most recently when Emery didn’t shake hands) and admitting when the team wasn’t up to scratch.
Mate, more seriously, if you don’t like Arteta, that’s fine. But in no way is Arteta more agitated on the touchline than a Klopp or a Mourinho which have both been put on pedestals in England.
You’re forgetting that he’s also a dirty foreigner.
