Strong line-up. Really glad Merino didn't get the nod. Huge game for Eze and his lock-picking skills.

Bench has some difference-maker options...

This is a title-momentum game - 3 points a must.

Kind of crazy that so much of the early Saliba discourse was around how the treatment he received with all the loans would cut his Arsenal career short.

5 years in he's turning down Madrid to stay with the project. An immense signing. Arsenal are so good with contracts these days

Declan Rice going off script and just smashing his freekicks is probably what we lacked last year... Champions League wins can't be choreographed. Bang-bang magic comes from a feeling. Didn't think it'd be our £100m #6 who'd prove that a year after falling to Bayern.

If Saudi Arabia is being linked to Gabriel again, you can bet his team has been talking to them. This is the second time they've come knocking. It would be a tragedy to lose a player of his quality in his prime. But tax-free, generational wealth-building cash does turn heads.

Don't want to be alarmist and give Liverpool fans the jitters - but the gap between Arsenal and Liverpool Feb 22nd 2024 was 5 points.

Liverpool were top, narrative was 'Klopp's last dance.'

If Arsenal beat West Ham Saturday, the gap will be 5 points.

Is it happening again? 🍼

Jacob Hawley from The AOP podcast has agreed to get a Mikel Merino tattoo if Arsenal win the Premier League.

I think this is the perfect execution.

Ethan and Myles show you the importance of not wasting money this transfer window. We get Neto for €60m in the summer, and Ethan ain't getting the minutes to score two world-class goals in a week.

Ethan 6 goals
Neto 3 goals

Everyone desperate for signings - but worth noting we might have solved the Saka back-up by the end of the season with a teenage sensation.

Narrative last season was Arteta hates academy kids, now we have two starting regularly. Incredible stuff considering the level we play at these days.

Spurs fans:

Begged players to lose against City, cheered goals in stadium
Had a fight with Ange after he basically called them losers
Missed out on Champions League
Had to spend like a Europa League club as a result

Now they want to blame the owner for state of affairs?

Can't be having it.

Arsenal storming up that Deloitte Money League.

Revenue slipping past Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea

Top 7 finish worthy of two attackers in January?

Cannavaro has had 4 weeks to practice the dirtiest mid-block you'll ever see.

Gonna be grotesque out there this evening.
