Alas, poor Yorick!

@McFlybowy Interesting pitch. I remember Anelka, he was 17. Tore the rule book up. I think Kroupi gives off the same vibe 🤷🏻‍♂️

Arsenal’s recruitment priority for the striker role can’t be Eli Kroupi, it has to be Julián Álvarez. You’re talking about a team that is no longer building for “potential” alone, this current Arsenal side is built to dominate now. They already have one of the youngest elite cores of players in Europe with players like Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, William Saliba and Declan Rice entering or approaching their prime years. What they need is a killer, somebody already tested at the highest level. Julián Álvarez gives you everything Arteta wants in a modern striker. Pressing intensity, movement, technical quality, work rate, mentality, versatility. He’s not just a goalscorer, he’s a complete attacking weapon. He can drop deep, combine with midfielders, attack space, play alongside another forward or lead the line alone. And most importantly, he already understands what it means to win major trophies and perform under pressure. He’s a World Cup winner. That is the difference. A talent like Eli Junior Kroupi is exciting for the future, but Arsenal are beyond “maybe in three years.” This squad is one elite striker away from becoming a dynasty-level side. When you’ve spent years building the structure, you don’t gamble at the final step. You bring in certainty. You can already imagine the chemistry too. Ødegaard feeding Álvarez between the lines, Saka stretching defenders wide, Rice controlling transitions, the press from the front becoming even more aggressive. Arsenal would become terrifying without the ball and ruthless with it. And honestly, Álvarez also fits the emotional side of this project. Arsenal fans love players that fight for the badge, players that run like every duel matters. He has that South American fire in him. Emirates would connect with him instantly. He’s the Right Guy.

22 long years for the Arsenal. But finally, we’re back where we belong. Champions!

It was never done, but it is now…

Still, at least Rayan Cherki got to enjoy those kick-ups

This title race is going down to the wire. 👊

Arsenal celebrating like they’ve won the league

Surely Citeh bottled it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@woodysirish Ah Woody, don’t do it to yourself. There are too many ‘what ifs’. I’m just gonna try and see if Bournemouth can put in a shift and see how the Spuds get on 😅

Can't get the wolves 2-2 out of my head.. 2 uo, with our defence and fucked it. We would've been collecting the trophy at home last night.

@campbellclaret @BurnleyOfficial @Arsenal Tbh Alastair, if you’d played like that, with that much fire, you might have stayed up. Sadly, we are everyone’s ‘cup final’ 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well no Citeh fans can say @BurnleyOfficial didn’t make a go of it tonight. Very competitive and had several decent half chances. @Arsenal pretty dull to watch and despite all that is at stake the atmosphere in the Emirates was poor. Not a bad turnout for Burnley for a night game in London when already relegated, though it was quite good fun working out how many in our end were Arsenal fans pretending to be Burnley.

With respect to my colleagues in the football writing industry, I am stunned that Bruno Fernandes has been named FWA Footballer of the Year instead of Declan Rice. Rice has literally won more matches this season (35) than Fernandes has even played (34). telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@YankeeGunner Took the words..

This feels bent. I hate it but it does.

@1Walid1 In the queue just to piss you off 😏

Fuckin hell buying tickets on Arsenal site is painful. There’s about 500 members I reckon that have 55+ away points. How is there 8000 in the queue to get in?? What are the rest of you doing??? Come back later

@PaulPonting I deserve that

@ckdSanjay He's no good on crosses

Jesus just not in this game

@PaulPonting I have no words Paul 😆

those shorts were very short lol

@ArsenalWise Think that’s Robbo copping a feel 🫣

Martin Hayes enjoying himself….

@robbietaylor_86 What is the opposite of ‘rose tinted glasses’ 🤦🏻‍♂️

Max Dowman was crap by the way. Mykolenko pocketed him at every opportunity. Then Pickford missed a cross, and he scored a goal with no keeper and he’s now the new coming of Messi. Honestly.

@Karungisera2 @now_arsenaI 😏

@now_arsenaI I feel so bad for them as an Arsenal fan. Their story is no longer a comedy. It is starting to look like a tragedy and we should support them if we can. The premier League won't be the same without them

😂😂😂😂😂😂 they’re actually so fucked

@laythy29 Mate, I hope you have health insurance 🥹

Time for my first Puddingteilchen of the day here in Bonn, on the street where Beethoven was born no less…

@hawleyjacob Good man 🫡

@ckdSanjay Coming!

Bristol and Manchester nearly sold out
