    Arsenal fans during that last 15 mins: " I don’t usually get nervous but I was starting to get a little shaky, I was like woah…"

      I don’t usually get nervous

      You’ve already gone wrong, we are never anything but nervous. This team has broken us.

    Tomiyasu has been unreal this season, surely has to start every game from here on out

    Tomiyasu, what a player. I feel like only Arsenal fans and Japanese fans understand how good this guy really is.

    I’m unsure of Odegaard in this team. He was brilliant last season, he has great work rate OOP but I still feel he’s limited in the final third. His xG overperformance is now coming back to baseline and I feel Arsenal could cash in on him

    Would Arsenal fans take 80m+ for Odegaard?

    I swear if Sevilla drop down to EL for one last run… I’ll stop watching footy for good

    Far from comfortable but we take it away win in Spain against a very good team at home we move on. Good news the other game in group was a draw.

    I mean, we couldn’t really have complained if we’d drawn that. Let Sevilla back into it with some really poor set-piece defending (why we’re so bad at that I don’t know, we were one of the best teams in the country for it two years ago) and completely outplayed for about 40 minutes after that.

    Raya needs to fuck off, where I don’t care, he’s the most unwarranted usurper of a regular starting place we’ve had in years. Odegaard has been well off it since the new deal and I would be happy for him to be benched on Saturday for a rest. Won’t happen cause Arteta won’t drop anyone unless they’re physically unable to play but if we can’t beat Sheffield United without him we don’t deserve to win anything.

    But it was two of the best goals we’ve scored all season, we got it over the line and we’re top of the group now so I’ll take it. Rice was Rice, and that was Jesus’ best game in a while.

      Raya’s only mistake was moving to a club with as toxic a fanbase as Arsenal’s. My god you lot are insufferable.

    Rice is a top 3 #6 in the world yet he’s showing signs of being a top #8 too. Arteta is giving him all the chances to do so and he’s running away with it

    Unreal

    Declan Rice is a joke man, West Ham I am so sorry for my club robbing yours because 105m should’ve gotten us about halfway there
