@m8arteta @Arsenal Welcome back home, boss. Pleased to have you leading us in our next chapter. Let’s do it together!

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

37 professional appearances (7 in PL)

Still 16.

Reminds me of when we bought a young Aaron Ramsey from the Championship.

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

🚨 EXCL: Arsenal have now agreed full personal terms with Jeremy Monga. Still work to be done on the mechanism of his exit as the English Champions want to close the deal.

As I understand it, Berta met with the English teen sensation’s entourage and laid out a pathway similar to that of Max Dowman at the club. A loan move for Monga cannot also be ruled out once the teenager is settled.

Monga has given full preference to Arsenal over multiple clubs including City & Leverkusen. Story W/ @scoutingindoors

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

[GravityGooner✨ @Gravitygunner14]

Don’t let anyone deceive you!

I dug it up and found it!!

This absolute beauty was chopped off because Ben White touched Danny Ward’s hand!

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

The best thing about it was Gyokeres knew he had both CBs beat. He was strolling around the pitch with his chest out and full of confidence. When he gets that feeling, his level raises. Helps now that we are finding him when he makes those runs.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

CL FINAL HERE WE COME

Truly professional display. Gyokeres what a guy. Ran for every ball. 87th min sprinting 50 yards to put pressure on the opposition. Gave everything.

Every player performed. Deserve the final. Time to lock in. 4 games to go.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Exactly.

“The rest of the league have been bad”

No. The rest of the league are better than they have ever been so the top teams have no easy game.

[AFCAMDEN @AFCAMDEN]

This is the most competitive league in over a decade. 58 points between 1st and 20th is the smallest gap since 2015. The fact you’ve got a team playing Champions League football in 17th illustrates the quality of the league.

[Charles Watts @charles_watts]

Went to bed, thinking about the football.

Woke up about five times through the night, thinking about the football.

Got up this morning, thinking about the football.

It's just all consuming.

This season, it's going to be the end of all of us I swear 😂

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@AFC__Xtra Big money would be spent on Kroupi. This post suggests we can get him on the cheap.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Calafiori RW, Saliba doing the 10 role and Gabriel sliding in at the back post. This club kills me 😂😂😂 https://t.co/9gbVdlD6Og

[North Bank Nadim @NorthBankNadim]

Arsenal 1st in the PL and unbeaten in the CL up to the Semi Final stage.

All with the second highest number of injuries of all PL clubs.

Yet Arteta’s name gets dragged through the mud, daily. Fools.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@gallagherjp82 He’s very good defensively though. Calafiori definitely much better going forward. Think Calafiori in the PL and Hincapie in the CL

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Don’t like to dig into players but 2026 Trossard has been a tough watch.

[SamW @SamW_AFC]

Would be good to know why Trossard has been totally frozen out after being a regular starter.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@gallagherjp82 Yeah his first involvement gave the ball away in a dangerous area.
True. Have to start Mosquera until Timber returns.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

We did have to get through a difficult patch where Atletico could have scored more & that’s the only thing that makes me feel ok about the result. Otherwise we’ve been robbed by the ref & should be going back with a win. Have every belief we can beat them at The Emirates.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

@touchlinefracas Almost as if he’s been out injured for a long time and returning to sharpness…

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Ref and VAR bottled our second penalty decision due to the home side pressure. ‘Clear and obvious’ clearly and obviously ignored.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

What has Odegaard got against Gyokeres?

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

Not really that mind boggling. Arteta watches him every day in training and clearly doesn’t trust him enough to give him more minutes. It’s a signing that hasn’t worked out how we had hoped. Not the first and won’t be the last.

[RohanJivan @RohanJivanAFC]

The whole point of the Norgaard signing, to me, was that we add solid PL experience into the engine room, that allows us to rotate accordingly when necessary.

54 minutes of PL football and this weekend is game week 34. Mind boggling.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

The eleven is only balanced if it includes Odegaard and he’s been out most of the season.

[BP @BallProgression]

We've found a balanced eleven FAR too late I'm afraid.

[Darren @DF_Arsenal2]

My XI vs City:

Raya
Mosquera
Saliba
Gabriel
Hincapie
Zubimendi
Rice
Odegaard
Jesus
Havertz
Eze

Jesus RW, work rate and ball retention needed. Havertz bringing others into game as CF. If Ode not fit, Eze into centre and Martinelli on left. Mosquera needed over White.
