It’s a FINAL.
The Colors are posted.
The lads know who they are, and what they need to do.
Just win, baby!
#CarabaoCup #EFLCup #COYG #UTA
You brush off a game like today’s (or a competition like the Carabao) until the moment is upon you.
Against corrupted City, for a trophy, to kick on what might be a special end of the season.
There’s a lot at stake, even if it’s not the most significant prize on offer.
The nerves are here.
Happy Birthday to the GOAT, my love, the most handsome man on earth 💚🤍💚🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍
Gave up drinking for good after the Arsenal loss.
I'd only had 4, but found myself being a right grumpy arse with the wife and kids. Not for the first time.
Felt ashamed of myself.
Put all my beers and whisky in a box and hid it in an outbuilding.
So far, it feels like a weight's been lifted.
214 minutes - Arsenal have trailed by one goal. They have NEVER conceded in that time in the Premier League.
0 minutes - Arsenal have never trailed by more than 1 goal in the PL.
Dear lord, if only we played like this every week. And it has been different. So different.
Andrea Berta is not expected to leave Arsenal any time soon, despite being linked with moves to Manchester City or Bayern Munich. The Italian director... #Arsenal #AFC #Football
Some might be surprised to learn (especially those with victim complexes) that Arsenal have yet to concede a penalty in the league this season. Notice very clearly in the bench cams Arsenal release, Mikel is CONSTANTLY shouting at his players to not be goaded into fouls. It's been a big factor
"The Gunners have had no VAR mistakes against them."
Amazing stuff right here.
Martin Samuel has gone from saying Arsenal will be the 'most controversial' Premier League side due to "An over-reliance on set play, a little too much gamesmanship. Yet Dowman flips that script. How can any neutral root against him"
All max-ed out? If not, here's Handbrake Off, where @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social, @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and I cherish seeing something so far out of the ordinary over the weekend.

Honestly, the way this team can put you through 88 minutes of torture, then leave you feeling like this after an extraordinary contribution from Max Dowman is essentially absurd.
It looked like it was gonna be a nightmare, instead it became the stuff of dreams.
My heartbeat is doing techno BPM
WhatsApp to @gunnerblog.bsky.social in the second half.
Honestly, that feels like it could be the kind of moment people talk about for a long, long time.
Still work to do but we had to win this today, and doing it like this feels like it could galvanise the side even more than it already is.
MAX DOWMAN. 16 YEARS OLD.
ETCH THAT INTO EMIRATES HISTORY, ARSENAL HISTORY, PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY!

Who has laid on a bed of nails and torn their own fingernails out in shame because Arsenal dare to be top of the league playing in such a beastly way?
If not, chirpier options are available. Here's Handbrake Off, with @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social and @gunnerblog.bsky.social

Closest I’ll get to being in a line-up with Wrighty. Check it out

Amidst all the high level corruption and made up prizes for cunts that FIFA are involved with, they've now fundamentally changed the game for advertising revenue (dressed up as player welfare).
That we can't have 45 minutes without an ad-break is absurd. #InfantinoOut
I love when Wrighty comes on the @arseblog.com Arsecast because he drops truth bombs!

Face off?
A lot of the bottling/feeling the pressure narrative seems increasingly more like physical and mental exhaustion from a lot of football with no Xmas break for our core group. The whole ‘still in four competitions!’ thing is a probably much tougher than most of us can imagine.
He’s also been the most constant midfield presence in a side that has gone from a 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-4-2 at times. His football brain is really underrated along with his availability. So glad we signed him instead of Liverpool, city or Real Madrid

Zubimendi was poor yesterday and has struggled recently (some big games have exposed him a little bit) but this season he's played:
🔺 More outfield minutes than any other Arsenal player
🔺 Run more (km) this season than any other Arsenal player
🔺 Run more (km) this season than any other PL player
The other thing that annoys me about this is we protested the horseshoe of death and now we are crying out for it.
I love that we are trying to get it forward to Gyok and Eze quicker and losing a little control.
I think we need him to get on the ball and calm us down - Jorginho, Odegaard more natural controllers - but I'm not shocked he's flagging; in one of the most physically demanding positions in the most physically demanding league.
The same thing happened to Timber - mental fatigue just as important.
