The outrage over Pablo Mari is brilliant.
He's played 2 league games this season and hasn't been in the squad for 16 of Arsenal's Premier League games. But sweet, let's just play him as a number 10 in a vitally important game to please everyone shall we.

Almeria paid an additional fee to Partizan after securing promotion to La Liga but selling him for over €25m represents fantastic business.

I've got that completely wrong. David Luiz doesn't touch him, he's entitled to run for the ball, Willian Jose runs in front of him.
That's never a red card.
Worse is that the VAR looked at that and still said a red card was the correct call.
This f*cking system.

Özil isn’t wanted by the current manager, nor the previous one. They’ve BOTH deemed him unworthy of selection.
Arteta played with him, knows his qualities. What does that tell you? To me, it says his attitude is bad.
If you back Özil here you aren’t supporting the club.

Arsenal linked with a move for WBA keeper Sam Johnstone today. Played valued at around £10m.
Just personal opinion but would much rather that move than one for Aaron Ramsdale.
Johnstone the better keeper IMO.

Just on a zoom chat with Maty Ryan. Was asked if it was a possibility he’d return to Arsenal:

Declan Rice potentially now moving to the Arsenal feels seismic.

So the City Football Group now has the reigning Champions in:

Hold on. VAR reviewed that and STILL gave the penalty?
That’s pathetic. It’s clearly a dive from Son.
This system will destroy itself and hopefully soon.

Chris Wood’s no galactico but Newcastle don’t need those. They need players to hit the ground running - he can do that.
When Man City got rich they signed pretty sensibly before splurging & Newcastle should copy that.
Even if it’s for 18months, Wood can do a good job

Isn't that what we want to see Matt, players who are desperate to play for their country? Players who have given everything they possibly can with the goal of representing England and feel they have plenty to offer. Wouldn't you rather that then the classic brown-nose statement?
Spoke to Nectar Triantis at full time, such an impressive young man.
He was a colossus tonight. Dominant in the air, managed the league’s deadliest striker with relative ease and plays with such confidence.

Nothing against Celtic but think a move to Middlesbrough would be the better one for Riley McGree.
Championship is a better league and he’s shown how well he can do in it.
Plus Chris Wilder is also a really good, progressive coach and they could end up going up.

“This was the greatest story football had ever told. It’s like the final scene of a film or series we’ve all been watching together for years.”
🙌
£12m for Coquelin, probably £20m for Walcott and say £25m for Alexis means Arsenal could recoup about £55m to spend in January.
If they get Malcom it will probably be for about £35-40m and they’ll keep the rest.
That mentality is why we don’t ever challenge.

Safe to say that Tenerife’s Jeremy Mellot produced one of the best ever goal line clearances last night.

Good on you, Wrighty. Can’t have been easy to type that tweet out given your connections with the club but some things are always more important. 👏👏👏
Criticise the league’s management all you like. Fans are entitled to do that until they’re blue in the face.
But when you physically assault a footballer on the pitch you lose all standing.
Completely unacceptable.
Leaving Sanchez on the bench makes complete sense. If he's on the verge of joining Man City then he'll be distracted and less likely to go full pelt. Just look at the shambles of a performance Oxlade-Chamberlain put in against Liverpool.
#AFC
@AndrewTurmer
The reason the Trossard deal is being described as smart is that you're signing a good, ready made Premier League player who doesn't need any adaptation. Mudryk has undoubted talent but it's also based on such a short data period. Arsenal got burned the exact same way with Pepe.
So Barcelona and Atletico Madrid seemingly heading down under and hearing a couple of Premier League clubs will also be coming to Australia too!
Good times for football fans in Oz🙌
Good luck to

Villa fans, he’s not in Emi Martinez’s class yet but you’ve signed a very talented young keeper.
Excellent in 1on1 situations, very vocal & big presence in the box means he’s very effective at claiming high balls

You numpty. Van Nistelrooy won ONE league title and never won the Champions League in five years at Old Trafford, the then biggest club in the world - as if you’ve got him above Bergkamp! Good player sure, but even Van Nistelrooy will tell you Bergkamp was better 😂🤷🏼♂️

Yeah Nestory shouldn’t react like that but how on earth can that assistant not give that as a foul?!
I’d love to see officials speak after the game & see what effect it has. Explain their decisions but also explain laws & how they’re interpreted…
Sanchez has been a superb signing by Arsenal. The best player to play for the club in the past 8years or so and has had a proper impact. Attitude hasn’t been the best this season but club can’t match his ambition so don’t begrudge him going.
