We aren't playing like champions, let's be honest. But we did what we needed which was win. I'm really concerned with our midfields inability to move the ball forward. Both rice and Zubi haven't been able to do it for months now. Saka gives us such a lift because, Noni....if I speak...

I’ll take any win after last week, could be a lot worse 🍻

Hahahhaaaaa #SAME!

We! Are! Top-of-the-league! Say we are top of the league.

Agreed, I want him to do well. But we’re basically playing with 10. It’s every game too.

A few players have acted like they got the schoolboy panic once the ball dropped to them and they had an opening (Rice, Gyokeres, Havertz). Nerves. 3-0 up and they all would've smashed those chances. Self fulfilling prophecy of trying not to be the guy that screws up the game.

We’re not winning the league playing football like that. I really thought Mikel Arteta would throw the shackles off given this race could come down to goal difference. This low margin football will ultimately cost us

Leave some for Havertz and Eze!

I'm so tired and exhausted by it. Regardless of the outcome, I just want it over.

Meet the new league, same as the old league.

Is that the Arsecast Extra in a nutshell come Monday?

I’ve counted around 8 enjoyable games this season including European matches. Absolutely ridiculous when we still have a (very slim) chance of two major trophies. Perhaps this League really isn’t as good as it thinks. A better team than Newcastle would have got something today

Our health won’t cope with that!

Not if they make the final. It’s after our game

I mean yeah that genuinely might not be enough, but we all know playing that kinda football we aren’t always going to be able to scrape the win, especially if Eze is now out.

😂

4 more isn't going to cut it

This City side are not winning 8 league games in a row.

Gyokores is dog shit and we all want him gone

If that’s how the rest of the games are going to go then I don’t think any of us survive this.

Confidence was in the toilet. Every win helps that no matter how ugly.

Me too. I need morphine for every game. This is so painful

Ha ha ha ha ha

I'd say terrible is a bit harsh. It just looked disjointed with some very good bits in between. Massive positive to win but the added positive of having Saka back is far outweighed by Havertz and Eze going off injured. Will the first choice attack ever play together?!

fuck me

Fuck me that was vintage 2025 arsenal work hard and defend as the game went on we got more chances we didn't take which is a shame but another day we win that 4 nill

This post nails it!!

Why mention City and not focus on our own club? We have the potential to win it if we don’t ever play like that again.

My cat lay across my chest waiting for me to explode.

I had a tooth pulled today, that watch felt worse 😂

Lol brilliant 🫣

It's been like that for weeks, if not months now.

No Gary Neville on comms either

The 91 team lost one game and that was when Adams went off injured at the stable now known as BlueCo LTD

that's the problem, and it's why it's not enjoyable: the attack is very poor. It's not a balanced team. And when our defense starts creaking, as it has sometimes, then we're even more of a mess.

In the prime 1-0 era (when we started the song) we were a cup team. Back in 91 when we only conceded 18 goals and won the league it wasn't this stressful, but was a completely different incomparable time

Nothing like this, mainly because the cesspit of social media wasn’t a thing.

Thank goodness that is over. Back on top but will need to be much better against Fulham next weekend if that lead is to go to six points.

I can’t enjoy that whilst knowing we’ve got to deal with Gyokeres. He’s abysmal.

Our title challenge lives to fight another day.

We did not play terribly. The first official acquitted himself rather poorly but we played well and should probably have had another goal for our trouble, maybe two. I am begging you and all Arsenal supporters to smoke a joint and RELAX. We've got this. We Gooners are weirdly bad at taking the W.

All I know is we are not winning the league on goal difference

It was the third time they tried that routine i groaned too lets be real. They were brilliant towards the end when team needed a boost. Saka coming on helped.

Whew. Just seeing Saka out there was a minute of calm. Onward!

This is true. However, did you ever really feel like Newcastle would score? I didnt. I experienced worse 1-0s than that.

Is it possible this is all preparation to announce our new main shirt sponsor: Blood Pressure Medication?

This post is the perfect summary of our season, no matter the outcome.

I'm worried even 4 more 1-0s isn't going to cut it

Excruciating watch. The sheer number of god-awful choices on the ball is unbelievable. Good grief, I lost my voice shouting at the TV. Think winning on GD is out of the question based on this performance.

Tactical masterminds in the crowd be like - Why are we taking short corners?? - WHYY are we taking short corners ?? - WHYYY!! are we taking a short ......EZA scores!

Good old 1-0 to the Arsenal

How did we ever get this bad at football? Zero cohesion, zero conviction, no sense of ability to do anything. I'm so bummed! We can't score more than one goal in about 7 games now.

Never in doubt 😬

Top of the league. 4 to go.

Possibly one of the worst forwards I’ve seen at this club in 50 years. And I watched John Hawley and Lee Chapman 🥺

I could do better than that, and I’m not on 200 grand per week.

No not an easy pass for someone with gyokeres's technical quality

We salute you for your service, Sir

“LOOK UP!!! LOOK UP YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!”

How can this team play so well at the Etihad and so poor today.

I'm hating every minute but keep watching, what sort of self mutilation is this? I yearn for messy Wengerball, chuck all the strikers on.

My cardiologist has advised me to stop watching Arsenal. I am, of course, ignoring his advice 🫀😳

I'm reaching for the auld boy's heart tablets.

Turn off the sound and sync the arsenal app commentary.

He sounds like a bloke in a pub three pints in after his wife’s just left him. Moaning constantly about Arsenal not doing the right thing, whatever they do.

If you find out please let me know. I cannot stand his commentary and the way he pronounces it Aarsnal makes me livid. He ruins it for me every time. 🔔 🔚

I don't care anymore how we play... fuck that. Results that's all

Think I enjoyed it more when we were in a top 4 race

Morphine, tut big wuss, 10 year old's drink. Get some Crystal Meth in you big baby.

How come no one in the coaching team tells Gyokeres to compete for the long balls? He doesn't even jump FFS?

We don't have the same 11 in two consecutive game, how can we expect a cohesive performance. Keeping injury prone players in not sustainable (or whatever reason it is we have so many injuries)

We were poor even with him on the pitch. Newcastle dominated most of that game.

It would put years on ye

This man is over 6 foot.

We make the wrong choice so many times. You’d think we could make the right choice by accident occasionally

All that matters!

I enjoy drugs

The Gyokeres cut out pass, Rice not shooting, Odegaard not playing in Gyokeres, Rice crossing instead of keeping it in the corner. My TV is lucky to be still intact. Utter torture. But we got 3 points, I'm off for a lie down.

I am anaesthetising my feelings with beer. It's actually working pretty well! Would recommend 🍻

EXACTLY THAT!

Only delaying the inevitable playing like that.

Sax man will get you through. youtu.be/PdaaGlyu7EQ?...

Keeping another clean sheet is never dreadful.

😂

4 games let get on it. COYG 🅰️

An early #arsecastextra question. What gutteral noise did you make when Gyokeres messed up that counter attack? The rage that surged through my blood....

I don’t even feel happy? Like it’s just a fuckin sigh of relief. It’s so shit to watch

What a weird feeling. Happiness and relief that we got the win. But the goal difference factor makes it feel like a slight disappointment. This team lads 😮‍💨

This team needs reminding that they've been the most consistent team in England for four seasons, and one of the best teams in the Champions League for almost as long. Stop playing Spursy like at the first sign of pressure, just do what we all know you're capable of. Sort. It. Out.
