@Jeff153143 @ZiphoAFC_333 @Tripple____M He lied.

@ZiphoAFC_333 @Tripple____M Arteta said in his press confrence calafiori was injured

Riccardo Calafiori is out injured???? Yea, he is a liability, sell in the summer

@Tripple____M Hes not injured. Arteta is lying because he was too proud to just accept he got it wrong and take Zubimendi back off.

@afc_N7k @originssaka Wait so the refs are doing such a good job of trying to fuck us over, as evidenced by no red card & no penalties all season?

@originssaka Prefer not to speak. Just pray

Only reason I’m feeling dread is because of the state funded brown envelopes + Kavanagh/Darren England. Hard not to feel tin foil hat.

@Ginho72 Yeah you make a really good point. They always get their way. The PL has gone down to the last game a whole 4 or 5 times in 20 years. Or maybe youre a low IQ bedwetter.

Guys tomorrow you will see the most scandalous decisions for West Ham btw. The billionaires want their headlines, viewership and £££££. If West Ham get a result against us it feeds into the title charge and relegation fight narratives. We gotta do everything we can

@AFC_Monty_ Shut up you absolute wet wipe.

City winning today and Arsenal dropping points today would mean the title race and relegation battle go down to the last day. That is what Sky want. That is why they’re match fixing. Tomorrow is going to be a disgusting watch.

@Unreal7amal Maybe were just waiting for Gyok Lesnar to score against anyone in the top 7?

Havertz could get 5 chances, miss all 5, send us out of UCL and Arsenal fans will still put him in XI for the next game. it’s insanity

@ThatGuy28780245 Bottled a 9 point lead this ssn. Bottled last ssn. Bottled 23/24 vs Villa at home. Bottled an 8 point lead 22/23 Bottled top 4 21/22

@Frec2015 But you’ve seen them finish outside the top 3, 4 years in a row. Situation now >>> situation before. Also, Arsenal has never “bottled” 5 seasons in a row either.

The last time Arsenal went to a champions league final… we scraped 4th place. For all of you angry fans online screaming “Arteta out” or making fun of your own players… you’ve never witnessed Arsenal in a top of the league & battling for a UCL final… ever.

@adamkeys_ 'Very little' is relative. Jordan Reece (ex AFC physio) is a friend of mine, and doesnt have a lot of good to say about Artetas training/recovery/medical culture.

@Frec2015 Interesting take, given that many of the players and Mikel have said due to game volume they are on the training ground very little, and most of the work is done in the analysis rooms, including set pieces.

There are so many mistruths spoken about how Mikel Arteta and Pep Gaurdiola rotate. The overuse of Rice (4,000 minutes) and Zubimendi (4,097 minutes) is a frustation, and it's showing, as it's been equally matched with the underuse of Norgaard and Lewis-Skelly, so options to rotate from the start or within games have been there. Following Atletico, #Arsenal now have 13 players on more than 2,000 minutes, City also have 13. Both clubs have 10 players on more than 2,500 minutes, howeverw hen it comes to the 3,000 minute mark, Arsenal have seven and City have five, although we have played more games. However, it's overlooked that Guehi and Semenyo have skewed their numbers, as each arrived in January and have clocked 1,240 and 1,567 minutes respectively since joining, however they have played 4,072 and 3,412 minutes respectively when you combine their minutes at Palace and Bournemouth. It's also worth noting that Semenyo has clocked 420 more minutes than Arsenal's most used attacker (Gyökeres), whilst Guehi has clocked 300 minutes more than Arsenal's most used defender (Saliba). The assumption that Pep has ratoted more effectively than Arteta is simply not true. Both have used their squads extremely effectively, with Arsenal having 19 players on 1,000+ minutes (plus two on 990+), whilst City have 22 players. This season, Mikel has only fielded the same team in back to back league games on two occasions, due to a mix of injuries and rotation. Whilst we there are clearly areas of improvement required with the rotation of Rice and Zubimendi, most others have been used in line with what you would expect, with the exception of Timber who has suffered due to White's injuries, like White did with Tomiyasu's injuries. Finally, both teams cover huge distances in every game, and along with Leeds, top the running charts. As of the 28th March, Arsenal averaged 114.4km per game, whilst City averaged 115.7km per game, however both Rice and Zubimendi are in the top 10 players for distanced covered. It's much easier to pull headline numbers, or make big statements that to actually look into the rotation and balance of work that has taken place, but this has been a huge areas of growth for Mikel Arteta this season, and it's a major reason why we have competed so strongly on three fronts.

@awoyemijoshua61 Ypu ever think that mayve the injuries are autetas fault?

Nobody gives Arteta credit for this. Nobody. Arsenal has suffered the second most injuries of any premier league team this season. Now let me tell you what those other clubs are doing with their injury crises. Tottenham is currently fighting relegation. With 37 injuries, they are literally battling to stay in the top flight. That's where a bad injury record takes most clubs. Chelsea? 31 injuries and they are still not sure of a top 10 finish. Not top 4. Not Champions League. Top 10. Newcastle? 28 injuries and they are in the bottom half of the table. Aston Villa? Almost bottling Europa League AND top 4 at the same time with 28 injuries. But Arsenal — with 32 injuries — is still in the Champions League. Still pushing for a top 4 finish at minimum. Still playing meaningful football in EVERY competition. And Arteta gets abused the most. By the media. By rival fans. And unfortunately, by some of our own. I understand the frustration. April was brutal. We lost games we should have won. We dropped points when the league was within reach. I'm not going to pretend it didn't hurt. But let's be honest with ourselves for one second. Which other manager in the Premier League is doing MORE with less? Nobody can name one. Arteta has been managing half a squad since last year and we are STILL here. The critics don't want to acknowledge this because the narrative is already written — Arsenal choke, Arteta bottled it, the club is going backwards. But the facts don't care about narratives. 32 injuries this season. And we didn't fall apart. April was hard. May is going to be different. We still have business to finish. And when this season is done, the full picture will be clear to everyone Arteta deserves more respect than he gets.

@scrapytweets Lol, Ethans future is at Fulham or Sheffield UTD.

The Serbian wonderkid Arteta is signing to add up to this superteam Vasilije Kostov 🔥🔥 Looks like the future of Dowman is on the wings instead of the 10 role and Nwaneri F9 or CM 👀

@Wanalyst007 Player does one good tjkng in 45 games. Dickhead makes a tweet about it.

Will be interesting to see if the people who hyper analyse every poor action by Gyokeres will comment about him creating a big chance out of thin air The best open play chance in the whole game btw

@Mo_Arsenal9 Just like this season, Gyok Lesnar only scored against the bottom half teams. Absolutely terrible player.

If Gyokeres is only good for the Portuguese League, why couldn't he score against Sporting in two matches? He had a hat-trick against Man City when he played for Sporting. The thing is we don't create enough for him. It's not the players. It's the system we play where strikers don't get fed enough. You can ask for Prime Ronaldo R9 to play in this system, but he will look like Yaya Sanogo to you.

@D3bv @Oye440 Performed? 1 goal against top 10 opposition. About 3 shots against top 10 teams. He is a championship level player.

@Oye440 The system was never built for him, but he performed and delivered, this fans are just so ungrateful.

Gyökeres dropped 18 goals in his debut season without the system being built for him… and somehow he’s “not good enough” now. Be serious. Some of you just don’t like being wrong.

@BigBearKentlaar I bet ypuve already started drafting your "we are ahead of scedule, its all about next season" tweet you utter cunt.

Look, this wasn’t a pretty second half by any means. But the way Gary Neville was going on about it, you’d think Newcastle were having shot after shot on target and David Raya was MOTM. Newcastle had a single shot on target in the second half. Arsenal certainly slowly trotted over the line, but it certainly wasn’t like Sky and Neville are trying to paint it to be.

@Daliso_Ft @BigBearKentlaar Yes, everyone that disagrees with your viewpoint is a bot.

@BigBearKentlaar Another bot account. Just mute them 😭😅. You are reposting them to our feeds by quoting them

I don’t even need to do the numbers in this, I know it’s bullshit. You don’t win more games in a season, but become a worse team. Just impossible.

@car88499367 @rawespresso @nmcglen Erm....because pensioners dont have even close to the same costs as a 25 year old?

@rawespresso @nmcglen Why if the goverment say the minimum wage is what you need to survive why isn't pension same as minimum wage?

The UK full new state pension is £11,973 a year. The poverty line for a single adult is around £14,500. You'll work 50 years paying into a system that, by its own definition, retires you straight into poverty.

@afccharlie Remeber when Arteta said the players were focused and ready deliver, told the fans to eat a big breakfast... Then produced the worst performance in 10 years. You should do, it was 2 weeks ago.

He’s spot on here Yes I get the players can lift the crowd too, but it also on the fans. You’re in a title race and majority are scared and acting like bitches. That place has to be rocking next 2 home games. From first to last min. A crowd can genuinely get a team over line

@RohanJivanAFC So why has Arteta completely turned his back on technical security?

Emphasis on duels and M2M pressing has become ubiquitous in football. And it’s got to a stage where everyone recognises it. Adamant the way to circumvent it is through technical on the ball excellence. Players who thrive on the half turn in particular. Music to the ears of the purists!
