Setting aside #Arteta's refusal to talk about a draw being a good result, @Arsenal really need to treat this as a must-win. The team also needs to improve the speed of play, particularly on throw-ins and in the opponent's half. #Arsenal #MCIARS #COYG

@11Absolute @GoalGuruu @Iam_agt Well, if reality could bend to people's imaginations, I have at least 115 of non-Arsenal ones. Would Pep still be called a generational manager if my imagination became reality? BTW, I'm only typing this because I imagine you're capable of understanding common sense/logic.

@GoalGuruu @Iam_agt Will only be a generational run if or when we finally win something. Imagine doing all of this and not winning the League or Champions League ? Would that Run still be “generational” then ?

I don't think people, especially Arsenal fans understand how crazy this is. Across the Premier League (31 games played), the FA Cup, The Carabao Cup, and the Champions League, Arsenal have only lost THREE games ALL season! This is beyond elite, and the "noise" should be much more, rather than all the criticism the team still faces.😂 I can only imagine how unbearable Chelsea and United fans would have made the Internet, if this was them. 😅😅

@kamishnakarl606 @scottjwillis Being able to read is one thing, understanding the meaning of those words is another. Kudos for being brilliant at the first, though!

@scottjwillis United?

Arsenal have won by 2 or more goals 23 times this season. Arsenal have lost by 2 or more goals 0 times this season.

@2WinsDaily @masuhd_ Spending money doesn't always mean cheating, and certainly isn't the point here. If you are unaware of the situation and/or can't understand the words you are reading, it might be wiser not to respond.

@masuhd_ How much did Arsenal spend to win it? And how much did City spend?

Arsenal taking 22 years to win the epl. United taking 13 years to win the epl. Liverpool took 20+ years to win it. None of them cheated the way Chelsea and man city did. If arsenal wins it, they deserve it. If united ever wins it again, fairs. Respected clubs.

@Mr_iamWill @themagic_tophat @m8arteta Is it really that hard to look up senior squads? At the end of the summer transfer window (September 2025), Arsenal had 25 first team players including Dowman. It's now 24 after Nwaneri went out on loan. Spurs currently have 30 players in the first team, as per FotMob.

@themagic_tophat @m8arteta You have cover for every single position while paying over 200k wages to bench players Arsenal should be winning it as they are paying to do so, that’s what football has become you pay to win wrexham are proving that also

9 points clear in the League ✅ Through to the League Cup Final ✅ Through to QF of the FA Cup ✅ Through to the QF of the UCL ✅ I could never have imagined us being in this position just 6 years ago. @m8arteta 🫶

@Yareyaredewa1 @1GAFC This is the stupidest take I have ever heard. That we lost to Bayern and PSG in previous seasons is a fact, but so is our current run (esp. at home) in the UCL. We can't/don't pick our opponents in th KO rounds, in case you didn't know.

Didn’t reach quarter final for 14 years, since Arteta’s been here we’ve reached it three seasons in a row. Shouldn’t overlook stuff like this.

@NikeKluge @bareejeste Did Arteta make the draw at home? Or did the performance of 'perennial winners' and 'reigning champions' in the league stage dictate that? Also, please remind me (and yourself, apparently) who the club world cup champions are and who they defeated in that final?

@bareejeste One team played reigning champions, one team played perennial winners and one team scabbed a draw in the first leg with a dodgy penalty against a club that has won one major trophy in its existence

Chelsea lost 2–8. 
Man City lost 1–5. 
Arsenal won 3–1. That’s the difference between oil-funded clubs that rose in the 21st century and a true heritage club. History can’t be bought, heritage can’t be faked.

@IreriJb @theEpicGooner @Shad_khalif Bournemouth have scored 1 goal in their last 4 PL games combined (in the 1-1 vs Sunderland). The only home game Arsenal have failed to score (across all comps) was against Liverpool. And Arsenal have just beaten the team with the second-best away record. Not gonna happen.

@theEpicGooner @Shad_khalif Bournemouth will beat arsenal

Our next PL game is after 27 days. TWENTY SEVEN. 2 knockout games and 1 final in between. Today’s win was so important to focus on the other competitions.

Commentators spoke a lot about Everton having better xG & better shots on target in #ARSEVE. In #WHUMCI, both teams have the same number of shots on target (1) & WHU have almost twice the xG of City (0.54 vs 0.30). But there's not a word said about this. #PremierLeague #COYG

@InvertTheWing You seem to be considering/expecting 2024-25 season performances from these teams. CFC have only 1 clean sheet (Hull) in their last 12 games, City have 3 CS (Fulham, Salford & Leeds) in their last 10 games and Spurs have 2 CS (Dortmund & Frankfurt) in their last 14 games.

What if all Premier League teams make comebacks? Chelsea dominated xG. PSG scored through errors. Tottenham had 3 goals from slippages, and 1 from a free kick that was given with no contact. Manchester City, well. They are Manchester City. I refuse to believe they are THAT bad.

@PeakSxnti Darren Lewis, who isn't even an Arsenal supporter (AFAIK), brushed aside this unfair criticism brilliantly on PL Team Talk yesterday. I understand the crying from Spurs and Brighton (club & fans), but the current top 6 in the PL surely know better.

The dumbest thing I’ve heard all year is someone saying that a team scoring from a set piece is cheating. 90% of those goals came with nobody impeding the goalkeeper as well. An ex-professional footballer let social media narratives shape his opinion instead of doing his own research.

Why #EFC shouldn't mind losing by 1 or 2 goals against #Arsenal: 1) UEL or Conf. League next season with the current squad will affect PL form - look at Forest this season. 2) Surely, Moyes wouldn't mind too much if his student (#Arteta) can best Guardiola. #premierleague #ARSEVE

#WHU & #NFO won't have a better chance than this. Spurs would be 18th if they both win their matches. An interesting side-note: Nuno Espirito Santo is the common factor in this season's relegation battle. #PremierLeague #WHUMCI #NFOFUL

@modx08 @BlackScarfMarc @Arsenal This! All genuine Arsenal fans have to stop fuelling the captaincy "Rice, not Odegaard", striker "Gyokeres is bad" and manager "Arteta is not fearless enough" debates/narratives. The club is in a great position, and we should believe and support our team.

@BlackScarfMarc It is time for all @Arsenal fans to be united and back the team no matter what. We have to have one voice and scream and support them with everything we have until the end. Don't let the media or rival fans drive the narrative. We back and support our club.

Getting a real Déjà vu feeling this season, compared to the 1991 run-in. There was a real anti-Arsenal feeling in the media as we’d become real challengers to their darlings, Liverpool. The FA also deducted us 2 points resulting in the George Graham team talk “There’s one way to handle it: just keep winning matches”. We ended up winning the league by 7 points despite having 2 deducted. Remember the front page of the first @GoonerFanzine the following season saying “CHAMPIONS. Stick your 2 points, we didn’t need them anyway”. Again it’s a real them & us feeling. Despite being up against a state backed juggernaut that’s helped shit all over the game and its rules, we have fans of other clubs rooting for them over us. Pathetic. As the song says, “Fuck em all”. We are The Arsenal. 🖕🏽

@Lea_EFC The problem is that Rice wants to win Champions League, not Championship!

When Gana Gueye leaves Everton in the summer, Everton should go all out to get Declan Rice. Rice will only have two years left on his current Arsenal contract and be available for around £20-30m.

@DeadlineDayLive The so-called better player lost to Grimsby Town, the other was busy beating Bayern and last season's UCL runners-up Inter.

🚨 We're genuinely shocked Martin Ødegaard got so many votes. 🤯

@thearsfamily97 Watching the highlights, it occurred to me that Gyokeres wouldn't have been (caught) offside the way G. Jesus was on the halfway line. Gyokeres demonstrated this awareness for the 3rd goal, as he slowed down at just the right time to be onside.

Takeaways (aka a list of "I told you so"): 💬 I told y'all the striker position was between Gyökeres and Havertz. Gabriel Jesus is not physically ready to start for us. Most of his best performances have been from the bench. The only time he started and was great was against Inter. 💬 I also told you that the best two-man striker system we have was HavertzxGyökeres, not HavertzxG.Jesus or GyökeresxG.Jesus. Havertz was okay before Gyökeres came but as soon as Gyökeres came, Havertz sprung to life. Both players are naturally boosted by each other, and it's not hard to see why if you know their nature as strikers. 💬 Zubimendi responded exceptionally well to the haters with an assured display. His goalscoring should not and cannot be ignored. 💬 Our defence is incredible, especially the centre backs. Another team could have been bullied by Sunderland today, physically. 💬 Trossard deserves immense praise because his aggressive wing playmaking was what truly led to the second goal. 💬 Arteta starting Havertz ahead of Eze in midfield is interesting. It's not wrong, just interesting. It was a tasty affair until the subs, but as usual, our depth is our real superpower. Until the next game!!!

@Buchi_Laba Timing of the first goal couldn't have been better - Zubi scored a few seconds after the commentator said something on the lines of "Sunderland's plan to frustrate Arsenal has worked so far".

Again! The commentators on the Arsenal vs Sunderland game were so bias! You can feel the hate and disgust they have for Arsenal! Even if you’re hating.. atleast be professional. You’re a doing a public job. They were criticizing Arsenal on every chance they get before the goal. Stupid criticisms. Made Sunderland look like Prime Pep Guardiola Barcelona. They did same against Chelsea.. different commenters! It’s becoming so irritating! I cannot be paying Premium and be hearing people not being able to control their emotions.

@realsavanti You have less than 4 months - prepare yourself to cope with the reality that will unfold at the end of the season.

The day after Arsenal become champions, nobody will talk about it anymore. Arteta’s project excites no one outside the club’s own bubble. It has no personality, no edge, no cultural gravity. It is efficient, polished, correct. And forgettable. Manchester United win four games in a row and the entire football world starts talking again. Pundits, rivals, timelines, everyone. That is not nostalgia. That is not bias. Those are facts about relevance.

@louiszino @piersmorgan @_DeclanRice This! Though the commentary was awful till we scored the second goal, even they mentioned something on the lines of "just because he doesn't have the armband does not mean he isn't one on the pitch". Genuine Arsenal supporters shouldn't bring this up at this point in the season.

@piersmorgan @_DeclanRice I love Declan Rice but this conversation is a distraction. No Arsenal fan should be talking about changing captain when we are having a good season and leading the Premier League, come on, let's stay focused

Declan Rice has been magnificent yet again today. What a player, what a signing. No disrespect to Odegaard but he is so obviously now the real Arsenal leader. Arteta should make him captain. @_DeclanRice
