Cracking win. Looked dangerous throughout and finally got the breakthrough which opened the floodgates.

The Big Man Up Top should hopefully take some confidence from getting a couple and yet another clean sheet.

Bring on Palace at the weekend.

Huge win at a ground we’ve historically struggled at, especially with Liverpool dropping points yesterday.

#AFC
Catching up on MOTD and looks like Liverpool received a bit of a pummelling; Palace are going to be a danger for most sides this season.

So we have a chance to take advantage, but of course we’re going to a ground where we do not have a good record at all.

We’ll see.

Disappointing result. Team selection was too cautious, as the second half post-changes made obvious.

Still, a point against City is always a positive thing. Saka being back (and being dangerous straight away) is brilliant, as is Martinelli staking his claim again.

#AFC
Hard fought win against a good Bilbao side. Another clean sheet (Mosquera impressive again) and good to see subs making an impact for us- the benefit of a deeper squad!

Feeling good about City on Sunday.

#AFC
Really satisfying performance. Madueke was excellent on the right, Zubimendi getting his first couple of goals, and Mosquera really assured at the back.

City next week!

#AFC
Was a tough one to take yesterday. Played well enough for a result and the game was decided by a piece of absolute quality (GGs to Dom).

Still seem to be lacking conviction and directness when we need it. Martinelli really tapering off last 6-12 months.

A #AFC win followed by Tommy Lad finally breaking his duck on the PGA Tour. A good sporting weekend.

Lots of Barcelona match squads will include Toni Fernández and Guillermo Fernández this season. The two teenagers are cousins, born less than a month apart. The really weird thing is that not only are the players two fathers brothers, but their two mothers are sisters too.
Very enjoyable as an Arsenal fan listening to that last ten minutes of today’s @footballramble.bsky.social

Fair play to the lads that they wouldn’t have seen it coming, but look forward to @lukeaaronmoore.bsky.social apologising to all Arsenal fans in tomorrow’s Preview Show (right, Luke?).

Feels very good to steal Eze under the noses of the other ones. He’s a top player and it’s clear we’ve been lacking a bit of spark moving forward. Excellent signing.

Fingers crossed he doesn’t pull something in the qualifier for Palace tonight.

Squad is looking bloated so sales needed.

#AFC
Actually don’t think the Madueke potential signing is a bad one at all. We need depth in the wide areas and he’s shown decent signs of life whilst being young enough to improve.

Fans wouldn’t be complaining as much if we’d already signed a striker.

#AFC
Agreed. Such an easy out for the club (not that he should have been playing for a while now anyway, and yes I understand the potential legal issues).

#AFC
Just sack the fucker off and cleanse your club of such a vile stain

Shameful from the club. Even if they didn’t want to become embroiled in a legal battle for suspending / terminating him during the duration of the original contract he signed, there’s a convenient ‘out’ when it expires in 26 days time, where doing absolutely nothing would result in a clean break.
Just a lack of cutting edge across both matches where we created chances to score more than one goal.

PSG are very good (if quite unlikeable) so fair play to them.

What an extraordinary game of football.

What I wouldn't give for a mostly uneventful 2-0 Arsenal win tomorrow.
Outrageous tie between Inter and Barca. Great entertainment.

Now if we can just shithouse our way to a 2-0 win in Paris tomorrow, that would be great.

#AFC
Shearer hit the nail on the head on MOTD with the lack of shooting. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially when you watch the likes of PSG and Barca who have free rein to take risks and shots on goal and, lo and behold, they score goals!

#AFC
Disappointing result and performance, especially second half. First half was actually quite good, in particular showing the benefit of Partey allowing Rice to roam forward and make those runs.

However, sloppy again defensively and I am getting concerned about Saliba’s concentration last few games
Could have got an equaliser, equally could have conceded a couple more. Overall a fair result.

A big ask to go to Paris and win, but do feel it will be different with Partey in the team so Rice isn’t as shackled.

Have to believe!

#AFC
Hell of a start from PSG for the first 15 or so with a gut punch of a goal out the traps.

But then steady improvement as we went along, personified by Timber who was really struggling but by the end starting to get really tight and limit Kvaratskhelia’s influence.

Big 45 incoming.

#AFC
The sensible decision to go with Merino in midfield. Anything else felt like an unnecessary risk.

One of the biggest games of the last few years and a huge performance needed.

#AFC
Quite a dull game, despite the scoreline. Both teams clearly got one eye on their upcoming semi finals.

Nice finish from Mateta tbf, but that is two brain farts from Saliba in three matches. Hopefully they’re out his system for PSG.
