@plasandrunt @sr_collings 😂😂😂😂 Jesus Christ.

@sr_collings Surely they can't get away with this? I doubt PGMOL will do anything however considering they've tried to giftwrap Arsenal the league after years of compete and utter failure.

Gabriel out of the Brazil squad. In the past 24 hours - Eze, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber and Trossard all pulled out.

@olijcarpenter I rate him so much, but he did so much more yday and the kick ups. We really are in the gutter with journalism.

We learned the wrong lessons from Messi and Ronaldo. People saw footballers doing amazing things and getting mad numbers, and everyone focused more on the numbers than the ability to do amazing things. It's sad man. We need more footballers in football.

@TheAthleticFC He’s an amazing player. I really like him, but are we really making a wish for more kick ups? Come on, this is toilet journalism. We want more flare, I get it. I could highlight another 6 things he did that were better.

What do Gary Neville, Pep Guardiola and Ben White have in common? They were all unimpressed by Rayan Cherki’s showboating in Manchester City’s Carabao Cup win over Arsenal. You can understand why Arsenal wouldn't have taken kindly to Cherki's keepie-uppies — particularly White, who duly left one on the Frenchman in the moments that followed. But for the neutrals, it was just a bit of fun... right? 📝 @NickMiller79 bit.ly/4uKHo9F?utm_so…

@Tune6King @kevinhatchard If you honestly think that had any impact on the game. I really don’t know what to tell you.

@CphGunner @kevinhatchard And Ben White was carded for that, arteta had to sub him off, that's changing tactics

I find the criticism of Cherki’s showboating today really tedious. It’s funny, he didn’t lose the ball, and if an #afc player did it I’d say the same thing. People moan that there aren’t any mavericks, and people also moan when a maverick expresses themselves. #mcfc

@HighburyHugh @GoonerJoSal The pre ankle injury Ø would be such a welcome tonic right now.

@CphGunner @GoonerJoSal I really hope he is close as we keep getting told and he now has 2 weeks to get fully fit. Hitting the ground running will be hard, but we need him.

I dont really care about not winning the Carabao cup, what bothers me is the behavior we see repeated every time the pressure is on. So disappointing, if we don't win the league or the champions league this season a big change needs to be made

@I_amMukhtar He will be a candidate for a wacko party at one point

John Terry will not get a punditry job or a managerial role in the UK. He will probably be invited onto GB News to bash Muslims and appear as a special guest on Joey Barton's podcast when he gets out of prison.

@HighburyHugh @GoonerJoSal We really miss Ø. Especially in these big games.

@CphGunner @GoonerJoSal There's still a lot of moments where the CBs have the ball and they back off too. It's not entirely Kepa looking devoid of passing ideas. They knew we had no ideas if they cut out our usual passing lanes. I think someone like MLS would have helped in absence of Eze and Odegaard

@HighburyHugh Im still not sure why he didn’t do that.

@CphGunner We could have rolled the dice and brought Dowman on for 5 mins. Albeit in the middle.

Generally this team has always managed to get one back when they’ve been stung, I don’t think that game happens with Raya, we just didn’t seem to be able to get out. This one will sting and it’s probably best to avoid social media for a while and go again.

@Augustus_kaizer @YankeeGunner Lazy take

@YankeeGunner Arteta not good enough at this level, as simple as that. Will never be able to attack in an elite manner. And he's a coward.

The technical level today was shockingly poor. I think about the team we were when we played Bayern earlier this season. A Bayern team that’s much better than this city team, including in possession. And we handled that challenge brilliantly. We are a shadow of that team atm

@YankeeGunner What do you think it is?

And we’ve seen it coming. Against Brighton. Against Chelsea. These aren’t elite teams. But we have the capacity to just lose control of games because we are short of players who are elite on the ball. Short term we just have to get over the line. Longer term we have to address it

@GoonerJoSal @HighburyHugh I just don’t believe the game happens with Raya. Even with how bad we were Calafiori and Jesus went close at the end.

@HighburyHugh Maybe, its probably a combination of factors, but that's equally worrying if that was the case.

@HighburyHugh He’s beginning to take far too many touches. Only he knows why, but we need him to deliver. I thought he was lucky to not get subbed today.

@CphGunner Apart from the time he missed last season, that was my biggest concern with a serious hamstring injury. That said, his ability to shoot surely won't disappear. I think there are a few other factors at play.

@rosswhitakertv @scoutingindoors @NewtronGooner I hear that Ross, but it’s been a year. Can any of us name a big game he has had in the last year. Madrid Home and Away. He’s been a shadow for 12 months. I love him but we can’t pretend that he’s the same player.

@CphGunner @scoutingindoors @NewtronGooner Did you see Thierry saying he played with pain for ten years? We have no idea what Saka is going through and I wouldn’t write him off yet.

If there is anyone who deserves his fans to get behind him it’s Bukayo Saka First difficult spell of form he’s had in his career and this is how you support him ‘Saka is so washed brooo’ If I have to read that one more time Have some respect

@GoonerJoSal I think everyone needs to relax a bit. That game doesn’t happen with Raya and we missed a 10. In addition to that City played really well. We don’t need to burn the house down everytime we struggle. I’m certain we will win the league, and we have a great chance in CL.

Dont ever wanna hear Arteta speak about bravery again

@HighburyHugh He just doesn’t look the same after the injury.

@CphGunner I agree and no one wants to have it. It can't be as simple as not having Odegaard with him or an overlapping fullback. Semenyo has been much better.

@PopBase @ChappellRoan Gaslighting 101

Chappell Roan addresses Jorginho’s recent post about his stepdaughter and wife. She clarifies that the security guard wasn’t her personal security and agrees it was unfair of the guard to assume the child had bad intentions.

@arsenal_deep @scoutingindoors I knew where this account was before I even checked.

@scoutingindoors Was never it, was given penalty duties and babied cos of racism he faced during euro 2020 it’s been 6 years and we need results we’ve kept quiet for too long.

@markgoldbridge Or City forced us to do that by playing really well?

Arsenal will still win the league. But to park the bus at Wembley like that with 10 men behind the ball is shocking. They have World Class players who are capable of playing higher up the pitch and attacking. Terrible anti football tactics from Arteta today
