just a geeza from the big city who gets hideously worked up about the footie and enjoys a dabble in test cricket... watch this space

This ref has been utterly awful in the Scotland game.

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

There’s a lot of fan delusion at Arsenal. This team is operating at a fraction of what it was in the first half of the season. Defensive frailties exposed, constantly lacking options going forwards or even in between the lines, unable to control midfield in every game… worrying!

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

If you play silly games, you get silly prizes. Well done Arteta… got David Raya at your disposal and picked Kepa!!!! This is not a joke for Arsenal it’s important we just win and get the monkey off our backs and he’s toying with the line up. What a terrible error. #bbcfootball

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

Mikel Arteta will never win anything if he doesn’t sort out his midfield. It’s been obvious for weeks that the reason it’s been such a battle is their inability to properly control games. Zubimendi and Rice both excellent but the combo doesn’t work. #bbcfootball

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

@CivilizedGunner @spencermorgan93 Why’s that? Because I have a balanced, educated and evidence based opinion that isn’t over emotional? I couldn’t care less who plays there, but it’s gotta be the best person for the team and the job. My opinion is Norgaard is that guy just the way we play at the moment.

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

Saka has lost the ball literally every time he has had it tonight!! What is going on?!

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

Am I the only one who wants Norgaard to be given a go in this Arsenal midfield. Zubimendi’s not been great recently and often back 4 not getting the protection and we never seemingly able to control midfield in games. #bbcfootball

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

Man City are going to completely wipe the floor with this team if they turn up and play like this at the Etihad in April. Arteta needs to shake something up and start getting more from this team going forwards.

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

Just as I say that Arsenal score of course, but i stand by it - you cannot sit back on 1-0 leads in this league. Cost us against Man Utd & Brentford. Why can we not just kill games it’s so frustrating. #bbcsport

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

There’s something that has been bothering me all season about this arsenal side and we saw it last week against Brentford and again tonight. They go a goal up, and then are so passive and drop off like 20 yards. It creates so much space and is so negative. #bbcfootball

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

Arsenal will never be world beaters playing like this. Uninspirng attitude to almost every game. Why don’t they come out all guns blazing every week and try and blow teams away in 20 minutes? If they do that tonight it’s game over. #bbcfootball

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

I'm sure i'm not the only England fan who crudely thinks Stokes getting hit on the box is good riddance for his defiant and arrogant attitude towards literally anyone who thinks England should take this series more seriously. #bbccricket

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

Duckett dropping catches has actually worked out pretty well for England. Seemingly brings a wicket 2 balls later. England have got the formula now… #bbccricket

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

I understand their thinking behind giving the middle order free reign, but Brook often causes these panics and collapses with what I think we can now call reckless batting. This batting line up needs calm, not chaos. He should look at the way Root plays. Calculated #bbccricket

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

These new Arsenal defenders need to stop going down like flies and realise that they gotta play through the pain while Gabriel and Saliba are injured. In the words of Roy Keane “that’s your job”.

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

@dairemn Why did he ease it down before the last?!!

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

This is a fair result. Arsenal poor, Caicedo reckless, Chelsea defiant - they’ve won every second ball. A point each, terrible game everyone diving about like fairies on both teams. Poor advert for the premier league. Move on. #bbcfootball

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

People need to stop picking holes in this Arsenal team. They have everything. It’s still early days, but it’s all on. #bbcfootball

[Mickey Wallis @mixter93]

That is clearly not out. The spike is after the ball passes the bat. That is absolutely mental. Are premier league VAR running DRS? #bbccricket
