You deserve more Arsenal fans 💔

This belongs to all of us.

We did it, together.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINALISTS ❤️

@HarrySymeou The age old question: do we need a new striker (or two) in the summer with Jesus on the way out, Kai injury-prone and Gykores far from the right fit?

Any questions for tomorrow’s podcast? I feel exhausted after that. Strange feeling because I’m pleased with the win but it was a performance that creates more doubt & lots of discussions.

@SkySportsPL @Arsenal if this doesn't give you motivation for next weekend I give up.

👀🍼

@HarrySymeou @tcoagpod Where has Saka's output gone? He's been average/below average for quite a while now and has completely fallen off compared to other seasons. What's the reason?

About to get stuck into my re-watch! Recording the podcast slightly earlier than normal tomorrow so if you’ve got any questions or points you want to hear discussed on Monday’s @tcoagpod, leave them below👇🏼

@_PhilCosta Is great refereeing is this.

BALLARD JUST HAD EZE IN A HEADLOCK AND HE GAVE IT THE OTHER WAY

@HarrySymeou Plus we should have had a clear pen and red card against the player who scored.

Frustrating half. Ballard took his goal well. Sunderland have been really physical, well organised and having scored have now sat back even deeper. The game’s lacked rhythm, it’s been really stop start and having gone behind, we’ve got it all to do. Big 45 minutes coming up.

@SpursOfficial #RentFree

Let it all work out

@grok @Rory_Talks_Ball @grok want to re-evaluate your stats based on the results of the first two Premier League games?

Based on current form, transfers (e.g., Madueke to Arsenal, Norgaard to Arsenal, Ait-Nouri to Man City), and expert predictions: 1. Haaland (Man City): 28G/6A=34 2. Salah (Liverpool): 22G/12A=34 3. Palmer (Chelsea): 18G/15A=33 4. Saka (Arsenal): 16G/14A=30 5. Isak (Newcastle): 24G/5A=29 6. Gyokeres (Arsenal, assumed signing): 20G/7A=27 7. Son (Tottenham): 15G/10A=25 8. Foden (Man City): 14G/11A=25 9. Watkins (Aston Villa): 18G/6A=24 10. Havertz (Arsenal): 14G/9A=23

Team 1: Raya Timber Saliba Gabriel MLS Zubimendi Rice Ødegaard Saka Gyokeres Martinelli Team 2: Kepa White Mosquera Kiwior Calafiori Norgaard Merino Nwaneri Madueke Havertz Trossard Even without bringing in Eze or a LW, that’s really decent depth right now

@Rory_Talks_Ball @grok how much should @ChelseaFC have paid for Garnacho. Have @ManUtd been mugged as per?

Might be the only club worse at selling than us

It was only ever Arsenal. A boyhood Gooner, our new number 10 – welcome home, Ebere ❤️

@billycarpy @clivepafc @grok break this down in comparison to other rival clubs in the Prem

It gets more complicated than this, but: — Arsenal simply need to generate and take more shots this year. — Across comps, Eze, Madueke, and Gyökeres took 356 shots last year. — All three had more shots/90 than anyone at Arsenal.

@grok @Rory_Talks_Ball @grok now predict that for the whole 2025/26 premier league season, for the top 10 g/a combined, broken down - including all new signings

Team 1 (Goals/Assists): Raya: 0/0 Timber: 1/1 Saliba: 2/1 Gabriel: 3/1 MLS: 0/1 Zubimendi: 2/3 Rice: 3/5 Ødegaard: 10/12 Saka: 18/10 Gyokeres: 20/5 Martinelli: 12/6 Team 2: Kepa: 0/0 White: 2/1 Mosquera: 1/1 Kiwior: 1/0 Calafiori: 2/2 Norgaard: 1/2 Merino: 3/4 Nwaneri: 2/3 Madueke: 8/7 Havertz: 12/8 Trossard: 8/4

@grok @Rory_Talks_Ball @grok break that down in individual goals and assists

Team 1 predictions (G+A): Raya 0, Timber 2, Saliba 3, Gabriel 4, MLS 1, Zubimendi 5, Rice 8, Ødegaard 22, Saka 28, Gyokeres 25, Martinelli 18. Team 2: Kepa 0, White 3, Mosquera 2, Kiwior 1, Calafiori 4, Norgaard 3, Merino 7, Nwaneri 5, Madueke 15, Havertz 20, Trossard 12. With signings like Zubimendi & Gyokeres, Arsenal: 94 pts, 1st in PL.

@grok @Rory_Talks_Ball @grok predicts every player's goal contributions in the list above, and Arsenal's overall points total and league position based on potential future signings.

Team 1 boasts superior defensive solidity (Saliba/Gabriel) and midfield control (Rice/Ødegaard), with potent attackers like Saka and Martinelli. Team 2 has decent depth but weaker GK (Kepa) and less creativity. Hypothetical score: 3-1 to Team 1. Goalscorers: Saka (2), Ødegaard (1) for Team 1; Havertz (1) for Team 2.

@David_Ornstein @SebSB @TheAthleticFC @grok how many goal contributions will Ekitike get for Liverpool this season and how many points will he win for the team? Will he be their top goalscorer?

🚨 Outline agreement between Liverpool & Eintracht Frankfurt for transfer of Hugo Ekitike to #LFC. Work needed to formally get it done; expected next day or so. If all add-ons met #SGE anticipate club-record sale (currently €95m). W/ @SebSB @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/64994…

@FabrizioRomano @grok estimate how many appearances Rashford will make for Barca this season and what are the chances of them making his loan move permanent?

🚨🔵🔴 BREAKING: Marcus Rashford to Barcelona, here we go! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Verbal agreement in principle between all parties involved with Barça planning for medical tests next days. Loan deal with buy option, details being finalised today then Man Utd will authorize his travel to Spain. ✈️
