@MoArsenal86 Has any Premier League side lifted the title on a night time kick-off - let alone a Monday?

@RumanNitra12 @fkhanage @RohanJivanAFC You do know city have only scored 3 more goals than us? The problem has been without Odegaard/Saka/Timber/Califiori we haven’t created much of late, although we were much better against City….just got to back to earlier season form and go for it !

@fkhanage @RohanJivanAFC So you think the goals that failed to come in 33games will suddenly come now??? Get a grip

@henrywinter Henry this is extremely poor from you - we lost but had so many clear cut chances and on any other day could have won

Never mind the symbolics. Arsenal lit a fire at their training ground as a motivational image. But it was Manchester City who brought the fire to the game. City dared more and deservedly won. Better principles - more attacking. Better team - more leaders. Better manager - more adventurous and experienced. And so it’s advantage a fired-up City in the title race.
Pep Guardiola and his big-game hunters can smell wounded foe, can sense victory will be theirs. City have big players relishing the pressure in the biggest game of the season. Bernardo Silva outstanding, small of frame but huge of heart. He’ll be hugely missed as ball-winning player, creative player, team player and role model. Rodri commanding. Haaland pouncing when opportunity knocked. Cherki dribbling and dazzling. O’Reilly so young but so mature in his positioning and decision-making. Guehi a top defender and leader, such a massively influential signing in January.
Arsenal? Second again? They need more than fire now. They need City to slip up. Guardiola’s side do still have to go Everton and Bournemouth but they have the belief and the momentum. They know the way to the finishing line, it's a muscle memory.
Arsenal tried hard. They were gritty, good pressing first half, some promising counters but they dropped off, invited City on and Pep’s men need no second invitation. Arsenal invested heavily this season, and will doubtless do so again this summer, as the years of hurt lengthens since the Invincibles. Arteta needs more flair as much as fire. He also needs a re-think on his approach.
His subs will come under scrutiny. Arteta inexplicably kept the fading Odegaard on. Odegaard embodies Arsenal’s nice, neat football but doesn’t hurt elite opponents enough. Arteta could have moved Eze central not taken him off.
Arsenal will argue fine lines, Havertz had a huge chance at the death, but were fortunate that Gabriel was not sent off for pushing his forehead into Haaland’s. If/when the fire is fully extinguished, the Arsenal inquest will be long and painful. It sounds like it's already begun amongst their fans, their fire snuffed out by City. #MCIARS

@ArsenalNews_Hub You say we aren't a team that will score 4 or 5 past you, but literally we have scored 4 or 5 goals in a game more times than any other team in the premiership!! 🤷♂️

🗣️ Wayne Rooney on Arsenal:
“You don’t realise how difficult they are until you actually play against them. All season, only three teams have managed to beat them — Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester United.
They’ve only conceded five goals in the Champions League, which tells you everything about how solid they are.
Arsenal are not always the kind of team that will score four or five past you, but they are the kind of team that will make it very hard for you to score against them.
And even if you do score, they always seem to find a way to come back — either to win the game or at least get a draw. That’s what makes this team so tough.” 🔴⚪️

@1TylerHarris @DarrenArsenal1 Nope not received my email nor are they in the ticket hubs!

@FuukTwitar This is so sad. My sisters church fellowship had a man who repeatedly raped his daughter as well…..years later, she committed suicide due to the mental anguish it caused her. The family did not get the police involved but he was chucked out of their church.

@henrywinter Even you mention us being set piece merchants but fail to say we are the league top scorers and have the 2nd most open play goals in the league !

All the best teams have an individual who stares down adversaries and adversity, who drives his team forward with word and deed. Declan Rice is that man for Arsenal. He made two mistakes, the first punished by Spurs, the second recovered by David Raya, but each time responded simply with even more determination.
Of course Rice has to cut out such errors but a point about the first mistake: Arsenal get accused of caution at times, yet here was a confident midfielder, arguably over-confident, dribbling out of his defensive third and being dispossessed by Randal Kolo Muani. Rice wasn’t playing safe. He was taking a risk. Arsenal get accused of being a set-piece XI; here was their best dead-ball deliverer trying to guide a moving ball upfield.
Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres got the headlines and the plaudits but Rice was immense. Of course, Spurs were riddled with injuries, suspensions, nerves and the usual lack of leaders. There’s a long way to go in the title race, inevitably twists and turns to come, and Arsenal have to go to Manchester City. But Rice showed they are up for the challenge.
His second-half work was some of his best for Arsenal. He read danger, he saw off danger. He covered back, intercepted and tackled. He launched attacks with short ball and long, and occasional dead-ball. He’s Arsenal’s most important player, their driving force, their real leader. In every sense, Rice is central to Arsenal’s title ambitions, especially with Mikel Merino still injured.
Rice will need a break at some point. It's an 11-month season with the World Cup. He’s already played 39 times this season, gives everything physically and mentally, can recharge his batteries with no midweek game and prepare for Sunday's game against Chelsea, the club where he started out before being released at 14. Rice recovered from that setback, too. It’s in his nature. #AFC

@cmbftbl Emirike has only scored 2 more goals than Gyokeres this season and I would say he probably has been given more chances than Gyokeres

@Queenofsoccer86 Arsenal have won the Fairs Cup and the Cup Winners Cup!!

@rustyrockets Recently you mentioned the Fabian Society but didn’t really know what it was - fun fact the book 1984 was based on them creating a dystopian society, with George Orwell thinking it would take the Fabians 100years - as they were established in 1884 that’s why he called it 1984!

@omid9 @PiersUncensored @piersmorgan Omid - with your reach you should be roasting this Labour Government for not proscribing the IRGC as terrorists, when the USA and EU just have and are deporting the embassy staff. It looked like they were going to but have U turned !!!
English

A crucial bit from @PiersUncensored where Human Rights lawyer Payam Akhavan answers @piersmorgan question about the difference between extermination and genocide. Truly shocking to hear the justification used by the regime to wipe out their own unarmed civilians.

When the dividend allowance was reduced from £5,000 in 2018, to £500 now - it made PAYE and non-PAYE distributions on level parity
If you make £50,000 in profit and pay the remainder to yourself as a dividend, you're left with = £38,099
On a £50,000 salary? You're left with £39,520
You're better off being a 9-5er now looool

@vocal_erw @markgoldbridge Too many teams play low block - maybe change the laws so that you have to have at least one outfield player at all times in the oppositions’ half to create space or zero points for a 0-0?
English

@markgoldbridge What do people genuinely think the solution is? Teams further down the division are just better defensively these days, especially at home. We can’t change the rules or add incentives to not draw a game just because bigger teams aren’t winning as much

@10ryno @DarrenArsenal1 Arsenal must have left cups in the away changing room and they were used !!

@KWGooner @toadmeister A long way down the road. Mine still has 100% capacity at nearly 70k miles.

Bad news for eco-zealots trying to bully us into swapping our cars for electric vehicles. The prices of used EVs have plunged by £14,000, according to Cazoo. Not such a good investment, then. dailysceptic.org/2025/12/29/pri…

@mvaug10087 @toadmeister But there again another 2nd hand EV could be cheaper !
