This is cheating. It means you can sign whoever the fuck you want and bypass FFP, because you'll always be able to make that back. Let's just sell Pepe to the Denver Nuggets for £72m then shall we?. Let's call it what it is: cheating. I'm furious.

Clubs are allowed to lose £105m over 3 years, and Everton lost £124.5m. No hiding, they just admitted it. = biggest points deduction in PL history. If what Chelsea and Man City are being accused of is even half true, I expect to see them both relegated 👍.

Money spent on transfers since Arteta’s arrival:. Chelsea - €1.44bn.Man U - €748.38m.City - €729.9m.Spurs - €690.9m.Arsenal - €682.74m.Liverpool - €493.85m. [@Transfermarkt]. But that doesn’t suit the narrative, does it?.
Arteta's Arsenal project has turned them into title contenders these past two seasons 🔴. But with over half a billion spent in transfers, should Arsenal have won more silverware? 🤔 #AFC

Theo Walcott made a great point on Sky: Arsenal just gave everyone a great blueprint on how to stop City. 4-4-2 mid block, wingers collapsing in and out & dropping into a 5 at points, force them to build left, 1 CM jumps on Rodri one stays etc. You're welcome, Unai. .

Ben White. The craziest thing about this guy is he used to be the "wall pass" / facilitator for Saka & Ødegaard in the right pod. Now he's as much a protagonist as them. He's telling Saka where to stand, he's giving Ødegaard ideas, he's executing. The guy is LUDICROUS.

Do you know how badly you fucked up for JAMIE OHARA to side with Arsenal?.
The more I see this the more my opinion get stronger it’s not a yellow card, the balls still moving for one so the free kick can’t even be played, plus veltman knows exactly what he’s trying to do, I’m all for Arsenal pain but if this was spurs I’d be absolutely fuming.

Myles Lewis-Skelly, 17, was coaching the players from the touchline at Spurs. He then got a yellow for dissent and was ready for his PL debut in the most difficult game in the league at The Etihad, before standing up to Haaland on the pitch. I see why Mikel likes him.

Doesn't feel like we talk about Ødegaard enough. Still only 24, but embodies the values of The Arsenal and is a modern captain, leading by example, not by shouting. Class, integrity, intelligence. Does things the right way with hard work and patience. Bravo, Martin. ❤️🇳🇴

I hadn't spotted this from the Villa game - look at the spin Ødegaard gets on the ball from the reverse angle, and how he weights the pass. So subtle, but makes all the difference for Jesus. This guy is so, so good. Once he's a little more decisive in the final third, it's over.

Guys. If Saliba, Tomi and White are fit, there are 3 players who play ahead of Partey. He is our 4th choice there. Let’s get real about “blaming Arteta” for this.
Gutted 😞. RB cost us the game. And I blame Arteta more than Partey for this. Not saying it will never work, and there are games when we don't get exposed like this. But when we do, it's an obvious achilles. His mentality is not defending.
