To quote a Gooner mate: we can’t keep playing this kind of football and not win anything. It’s not fun.

A proper game of football, this one, berween a team that should have wrapped up the title already and another which should have been demoted to League One a long time ago.

Gutting. We had the chance to go ahead through Havertz before their second, and then to equalise at the end but on both occasions the finishing wasn't up to scratch - esp the late header.

Big moments win you titles, and we couldn't deliver those today. No lack of effort, just final third quality

Gripping? Oh come on. We won’t win every remaining match. City will. It’s done. Our title chances were circling the drain when we lost to Bournemouth. City have now flushed them away.

Aaand the title’s gone, lads. It’s done. RIP 🪦

We desperately need a goal so we just pass the ball around at the back 🤦‍♂️

I don’t think I can do this watching football thing anymore

Eze needs to be stronger there. Ffs

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

All an opposing team needs to do to stifle us is press our back 4 man to man. Bournemouth did it superbly today. Leverkusen did it a few weeks ago. City did it & will probably do it again next week. No data needed to see our biggest, most defining weakness. Yet for some reason we can’t overcome it

It’ll be a shamble, like the walking dead 🧟

Exactly what City did a few weeks ago. Same again next week if we don’t have Ødegaard in the team

This feels like the league cup final performance. Bournemouth just blocking our passing lanes and we cannot get out of our own half. No risks but also no options. Miss odegaard so badly in these moments and we massively need to raise the technical level in the summer

If we somehow win the league I almost think we should hand it back (lol). The imposter syndrome is very real right now

This team is doing my fucking head in

Every time we play passively like this it seems inevitable we will concede, regardless of our lineup

Why is Havertz wide open? Because the man marking him is attracted towards Martinelli and wants to close him down.

Doing things quickly, centrally, forces defenders to make quick decisions. Do it often enough and they'll make some bad ones.

More of that.

Never in doubt 😂

COYG!!

1-0 to the Arsenal is just what Doctor Mikel ordered.

Sign up those balloons I say. They looked more capable than most of our players tonight.

Let's be absolutely clear about one thing: Arsenal haven't really played well for months. No matter who has played or who the opposition has been.

Find it hard not to feel like the rest of the season is just about somehow, no matter what it takes, finding a way to get over the line.

Couldn’t agree more. We barely have the legs for one competition

As much as I love the FA Cup, I’m quietly relieved we won’t have to endure another half hour of this nonsense

Oh dear. Benny Blanco just isn’t having a good time of it lately

RIP to all the drafted posts about Saka and Rice starting the next club game after pulling out of England duty.

Seen that coming over the last few months. I hope we finally learn from it. But above all I hope we let this define our season and inspire enough bloody-mindedness to get this league title over the line.
