….and let the world of Twitter go into meltdown over the Man City result…

@WestHamPlace Yes…everyone supporting the real cheats in the league…so much for common sense eh…

Mikel Arteta: - Dislked by EVERYONE - League's ugliest football - Constant excuses - Serial Loser - Massive Bottlejob - Thomas Partey Apologist We are ALL here to enjoy this massive downfall Man City to win the League 🙏

@Alan_Alger_ I’m not about to lose my mind just yet, but the reluctance to get the game restarted, the side ways passes, the passing into trouble, the indecision, consistent mistakes on the ball, never winning 2nd ball, then even when time is running out still no urgency is infuriating

Three random tweets from the sensible side of our fanbase have landed side-by-side on my timeline. Sum up the key issues across the trio of tweets: #AFC

What’s so fucking annoying about today is you’re sitting there ‘saying keep playing like this and we are going to concede a really avoidable goal’ I can see it, everyone else sees it, WHY CANT THE FUCKING PLAYERS!!

What on earth is this? We’ve played like this for quite a while. Professional footballers who can’t control a ball, make mistake after mistake. We didnt do one thing right. Sick and tired of this stroll about football.

Gyok-et 🚀

@Ryan_Colaco He’s capable of playing fancy football, we’d seen it 3 seasons prior to this one…he’s playing like this TOO win….however you’re off with Harry Potter if you think anyone’s sacking a manger who wins a league title.

I would personally let Mikel Arteta go in the summer, regardless of winning the Premier League (if he does). This football long-term is just not sustainable. Arsenal have got away with a lot of results this season, which wouldn’t be the case in most instances. His tactical rigidity & eventually doing things too late will cost us. It would be nice if he could win the EPL and go. A new contract - with his high managerial wages already - is too much of a risk.

@Ryan_Colaco Thing is Ryan, ppl like you think bc you support Arsenal they should automatically steam roller teams. Other teams have good footballers too. It’s not Roy of the Rovers it’s real life Ryan. We play a certain way. PSG with all that flair you crave lost at Sporting…

You can appreciate the result and still question the performance - that’s not “whining”, it’s wanting higher standards. Arsenal winning away at Sporting Lisbon is great, and being top of the league shows progress, but that doesn’t automatically mean the approach is beyond critique. Performances like this - where control is patchy and we rely on fine margins - can catch up with you at the very highest level. Supporting the team should include pushing for improvement, not shutting down valid concerns.

@Omahh_11 In other news a car without wheels doesn’t drive well.

Without David Raya, Gabriel, Saliba, and Declan Rice, Arsenal will be sitting 8th on the table

@ArsenalN7 And when they take a risk and get beat 4-0 you’d be the first one complaining. 🤫

@RayzSar Was it easier to win when people wore masks Sar? You’re also comparing a time when Arsenal were nowhere near winning a league. Twitter is a cesspit for this type of shit.

You have to an absolute moron to look at this guy and say "Yeah,he changed my life"

@TheArsenalMind Sanchez

10 minutes left to win the Champions League. Who are you bringing on?

@Talhaa10_ Yes let’s imagine for just one second what other players are saying about the team that are top of the premier league….interesting!!

if clubs are taking the piss out of arsenal like this on socials, imagine what players are saying behind the scenes 😭😭😭nobody respects them

@RodinSimi @thesilentr7 Why wouldn’t you? Are Port Vale insignificant to you????

@thesilentr7 Why would I celebrate for winning against Port Vale?

Blueprint for Sporting CP coach Rui Borges on how to stop Arsenal from scoring goals: ● Don’t give Gyökeres space in behind the defensive line. ● Do not press Arsenal’s CBs, instead, prevent them from playing through the middle. ● Close down their wingers & do not allow them to win corner kicks. We must remain united and support Sporting CP to knock Arsenal out of the UCL.

I can deal with the boring football, and I also don’t want to be too reactionary or even ungrateful but I’m tired of this scrape wins football. If we win we’ve got away with it, when we lose you saw it coming. Nervous, losing possession unnecessarily. It shit!!

Why do I pin my happiness on that fucking club!!! Players earning 300k who forget how to pass a football, control a football, create a fucking half decent chance when it matters!!! They forever let us down! #Arsenal

There is just no excuse for the last two performances.

@LfcShaunjudge It is a miricle, but the real magic is Arteta releasing this video. He’s done it again, he’s done it again…

It's a miracle... All them injured Arsenal players back in training... x.com/StanSportFC/st…

@Scott_Pert Arteta released this to boil your piss 😊

Arsenal’s “Injured” players training…. Fucking cheats….. Classless Club. x.com/StanSportFC/st…

@GoonerTaIk 🫱🏻🫲🏻

The overrated Gyokeres scoring a crap 90th minute winner to send his country to the pointless World Cup. I’m sick of this guy flopping every single game. 😤
