🎥 "It ain't over... but it probably should be" - Man City 2-1 Arsenal | On the Whistle

Arsenal were beaten yesterday.
But it was their best performance in some time. If they can maintain that level, the title race is not over.
They can’t mourn the opportunity lost. They can only look forward.

Arsenal beaten, despite a vastly improved performance.
That 90 minutes suggested to me that this is going to continue to be gripping right until the very end.
If I survive it.

Request approved - Arsenal will wear black armbands on Sunday.
@theathleticfc.bsky.social
Arsenal will be without Bukayo Saka for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City, Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
The England international hasn’t played since the Carabao Cup final on March 22.

Hello good people of the internet. Next week I will be doing my yearly mandatory public appearance at this event in Washington DC. Swing by. Come through. Lock up. Swing through. Whatever the kids say these days.
Arsenal have submitted a request to the Premier League to wear black armbands for Sunday’s game against Manchester City in tribute to Alex Manninger.

Ahead of the Champions League fixture against Sporting CP, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke of feeling “on fire”.
But the fire is more than just a metaphor. In the build-up to the quarter-final's second leg, a real fire was lit at Arsenal’s training ground.

For Arteta and Arsenal, this talk of "fire" is more than just a metaphor.
Earlier this week, a real fire was lit at London Colney.
The pressure is rising, but Arteta's desire to deliver success burns as hot as ever.

Very sad to learn of the death of Alex Manninger, who has passed away unexpectedly at 48.
Played such a crucial role for Arsenal in the 1997-98 double season - and was held in the highest regard as a goalkeeper and a person.

🎥 "Semi-finalists! But only semi convincing..." - Arsenal 0-0 Sporting CP (1-0) | On the Whistle

Arsenal got the job done against Sporting.
It wasn’t a wholly convincing performance, but with their defensive solidity intact they were recognisably Arsenal.
Leaning into those strengths may offer them the best chance against Man City.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal’s players nominated Declan Rice as captain for their last two games:
“They made the decision because Declan has earned the status, the role, the way he's taken ownership in difficult moments.”

It is palpably nervous here now
Whatever you think of Gyokeres, we're surely all agreed that playing long balls into him is pretty much a waste of time
Very much in a game here
Early observation: Eze makes a massive difference
After Arsenal lost to Bournemouth, boos were heard at the Emirates after a frustrating afternoon.
Was it the tension? The style of play? The manager? The players?
With Sporting visiting tonight, @gunnerblog.bsky.social, @amylawrence.bsky.social & Art de Roché discuss the stadium’s atmosphere.

The funny thing is that after all that Joan Garcia is actually really good
