Great to see our boys on the score sheet for England last night. Well done Saka and Eze ? ?.

Along with Arsenal, England are also long due a trophy. Hope after waiting so long, two (or more) come at once!

Great Post from Highbury
Hi 62, Bill,
I admire your posts but we don’t have to be always philosophical, we can be critical of performances as well. We are in far better position as a club and team than we were 4 years ago but this position will demand more and any shortcomings will have to be analysed. We crumbled under pressure in the last three years so the point is that the team must be matured enough now to deal with it. Man City play before us after the break and if they win the gap is 1 point, under this pressure we must win in the NLD else doubts will start creeping in everybody’s mind including the players.
And something isn’t right with the amount of injuries we are seeing, we have a strong squad but they need to be available throughout the season, however, I am pretty confident we will achieve something by taking the next step this year!
An interesting stat for me is the Saka goal at Sunderland was his first outside of London April '24, I's expect better from such an attacking player.
I am a firm believer we will win a trophy this year, I also believe with a full squad to select from we will win a BIG prize. fingers crossed.
11 Nov 2025 14:03:11
Hi Banbury mate
For me we are in pole position, have our best squad in many years and there is every reason to think we are better equipped to see the job through that at any time over the past 20 years.
There will always be potential pitfalls and possible negative scenarios that could possibly happen at some point in what is for every team and unknowable future. Some Liverpool fans would have worried endlessly about potential pitfalls throughout last season until the title was finally clinched while other Liverpool fans would have really enjoyed the entire season making the most of what was happening rather looking fir things that might possibly go wrong for them.
To each their own of course but I'm really enjoying this season and i'm extremely optimistic about both our premier league and champions league chances.

Hi BG,
Arseblog wrote something the other day that really resonated with me. It's important to remember that football is fleeting and just because we are doing well now, doesn't mean we necessarily will be in a year or two. It's important to temper criticism with a sense of perspective that things will not always be as good as this!
I think we would all agree that 3 points is better than 1 - we want the Arsenal to win, after all - and I don't think I've ever seen a fan who didn't allow a bit of rage or disgust when a late equaliser goes in against us. I think the difference between some of the fans on here is that some are more comfortable vocalising this criticism than others when we know how good we've got it right now.
Anyway, just my two cents here. Don't forget to enjoy what we've got in between the irritation.
12 Nov 2025 03:56:10
I thought we threw two points away very naively, but I also think we're 4 points less than 1/3 into the season and that's already exactly where we were hoping to be. So doom with optimism.
Until we win the league and get over that mental block, we will always be looking desperately over our shoulders. players and fans alike.
12 Nov 2025 06:50:48
Morning gooners!
We all are rooting for the same thing and hoping the best for our club, it’s just the different ways of looking at the present situation. I think the discussion started on the argument whether we lost two points or whether it is one of those games where any team may drop points. When we win without playing well, we say it’s a sign of a great team so when we drop points from winning position that may feel like we aren’t at it and with the demands of the league, we can criticise the team for it.
However, in each and every post, all of us agree that we are in a great position and will achieve something this season. So COYG!
12 Nov 2025 07:48:57
I totaly agree with that Wire and Banbury.
We will at some point return to being also rans apposed to main players in the league, it's happen to us before several times in our history and its happened to Liverpool City Chelsea United Everton more than once too. Whether that makes each of us even more desperate to win a big trophy now while we can or simply more determined to enjoy this positive period while it lasts no matter what it brings is of course a very personal thing for us all, but ultimately as Bill says we fans like our player's and manager all want the same things for our club.
12 Nov 2025 07:50:02
All differing opinions
All great posts
All Gooners
All hoping for great things this season and afterwards
Take care each and every one of you.
12 Nov 2025 14:02:05
Not sure I agree with the comments from other clubs' fans about us bottling it the last few years. Even neutrals could see we were short in depth and that therefore losing vital players like Saliba, Saka etc foe long periods made the race for the top extremely tough.
This year, however, things are different so if the same thing happens obviously questions need to be asked.
12 Nov 2025 17:50:24
Hi Sally, the bottling comments are just rival club banter and I've read loads of posts on our page over the years from our fans laughing at Spurs for bottling success, it's pretty much part and parcel of footballing rivalry.
I don't believe we've bottled anything i simply think our young team ran out of steam 3 years ago, last the title on the last day of the season to an excellent City team 2 years ago and last season ran out of first choice players. I totally accept it's now or never for Mikel but not for our current squad. If Mikel can't get this squad over the line this season he personally will have reached the end of the line with us but his successor will have a go with pretty much the same squad again next season.
Our current period of time at the top could very possibly last for another 5 to 10 years but as sure as eggs are bacon this time at the top of the table too shall pass and we will get a chance to emulate Spurs Europa league and Chelseas conference successes before too long. Make hey and enjoy the ? while it lasts.
Or as Winston Churchill once said " enjoy the war because the peace will be even more difficult to cope with once it arrives "
12 Nov 2025 22:45:54
Liverpool were 5 points clear of us after five games, now 8 behind - 13point swing, and I have been wondering where all the bottled it comments are, Sally.
13 Nov 2025 08:00:15
The bottled it comments you mentioned were directed at Arteta for his tactics against Liverpool which were poor. It was not a overall view of our season at that point.
13 Nov 2025 10:57:31
I was just referencing rival fans' comments over the last few years SW. I check out other sites and it often comes up.
13 Nov 2025 13:39:27
Bottlers, no history, bought trophies, cheats, they are all pretty much run of the mill insults exchanged between rival fans.
When their own clubs are doing well fans tend to focus on their own club but when other teams are doing better than them and getting all plaudits then fans tend to focus on finding fault with the superior team. It's when rival fans stop hating you and start feeling sorry for you that you know your club is at a very low point.

Morning all
This won't be a popular post at all, so my hard hat is at the ready.
For me Haaland needs to get injured for us to win the league, even before the weekend I thought we just don't have a killer instinct up front.
Gyokeres scored for fun before arriving here, now of course it's a different ball game.
Not helped by the way we are playing, by that I mean it's not to suit VG.
No doubt we have the strongest squad but doesn't mean we will win the league.
As for the weekend, not easy going away to Sunderland for sure BUT it's a fixture I'd expect us to win, in saying that a good recovery in the 2nd half but a lack of concentration at the death.
We have a 4 point cushion and with Spuds, Munich and Chelsea away we will see where we are at, personally I think 2 draws and a win from the 3 games but let's see.
10 Nov 2025 09:53:03
Morning Banbury, lots of good points in your post, especially regarding Haarland. I really think he could get City over the line single handedly if he stays fit!
10 Nov 2025 10:20:38
Totally agree with you Banbury. The fact that city are hot on our heels will kick in the psychological aspect and we’ll have to see how the team deals with it. The league these days demands so much consistency that we need to win all the matches and not loose to our title rivals. Whether we can do that over the course of the whole season this time is a question mark again.
We have a good squad but injuries aren’t helping, against Sunderland we had a depleted bench. Hopefully, all injured players are back after the break and we push on hard and achieve our goals (no pun! )
10 Nov 2025 10:49:45
At this point I think I'd rather be 2nd and chasing than 1st looking over our shoulders at Haarland bombing towards our defence lol.
10 Nov 2025 11:16:54

10 Nov 2025 17:54:00
Bit of negativity on here over 1 draw against a very tough organised very good Sunderland side. If any of the main title contenders had already gone up there and rinsed them I would be a bit worried.
Pretty confident that the other challengers will also drop points. City parking the bus after scoring early, then conceding very late against us, what was that for City, point won or 2 points lost.
10 Nov 2025 18:37:18
Haaland is the most prolific goal scorer the Premier league has ever seen and who wouldn't want someone like that in their team, but even with Haaland in unbelievable form city are 4 pts hind us.
Saturdays result wasn't perfect but City even with Haaland have clearly experienced more imperfect result than us, or they wouldn't be 4pts behind us.
Will Haaland maintain his devastating form throughout the season, who knows, how will City cope if Haaland hits a bad patch? Who knows.
What we do know for sure is that The Arsenal are out performing all competitors so far this season despite having several players out, in my opinion all other clubs have more to worry about than we do., yet somehow we seem to find problems for ourselves to worry about ???.

10 Nov 2025 22:38:37
Hi Highbury.
So we have to be worried, fearful and critical if we want everything to turn out as we hope it will rather than how we fear it might if we don't worry find fault and enjoy what really is at this moment in time
That makes a lot of sense mate ?

11 Nov 2025 12:42:19
The performance needs to be looked at we were not there in the first half. The draw summed the game up and was well deserved for sunderland. We need that spark from the moment go that we had a few seasons ago score that goal seal the game and then sit back. For me personally bringing on a defensive sub while there was all to play for showed signs of lack of confidence, the team does need a kick up the back side. But hey ho still very early and a long time to go.
I was expecting SY to be on here straight after the game addressing all faults so was dissappointed not seeing anything hope he is well.

09 Nov 2025 17:17:55
Hey you all,
I know many would think its a good point but for me we wasted 2 points. It was a very rough game and the ref was awful. And we shouldn't have conceded the second goal, we gave them do much time and space.
But what really bothers me, why everyone in the world is.
09 Nov 2025 18:29:20
I completely agree; we didn't win a point, we dropped 2. I understand taking our foot off their necks had we been 2 goals in front, but a single goal lead is so easy to throw away.
Credit where credit is due, Sunderland gave an excellent account of themselves. They played a blinder and never gave up.
09 Nov 2025 22:49:37
Absolutely mate, and I think with all rauas great effort he rushed too quick and badly jumped of his line.
But why everyone is hating us and are so happy for us dropping points. I mean some people are celebrating our draw is just too funny.

Take the point away with us, on to the next one. One game at a time ?⚪️❤️.
08 Nov 2025 20:21:53
We must accept it as good point, Sunderland have been doing very well for a promoted side and will cause problems to many teams. I just thought we were not 100% at it today, the goals we conceded today were very unlike us this season and we didn’t control the game in the additional time.
We were good after taking the lead but then took the eyes off in the additional time. Still top of the league at the international break so onwards and upwards, COYG!
08 Nov 2025 20:28:44
Hello Gabi mate, hope everything is OK.
Tough place to go, wasn't at our best first half but got ourselves in front, disappointed to concede that late, but all things considered it was hard earned point. 2 weeks break, hopefully some of the injured will be back or close to
Take care mate.
08 Nov 2025 21:28:20
Let's face it we were never going to win all our remaining games this season or go the rest of the season without conceding a goal.
A really decent point but as always 3pts would have been better than having to settle for just the 1pt. We've had worse days Rodney ???.
08 Nov 2025 21:35:19
We got spanked as soon as we decided to take our foot off the gas and play defensively instead. Inviting pressure is always a lottery. A single goal lead is hardly a lead and we should have been trying to put the game to bed.
Disappointed with that result if I'm being honest.
08 Nov 2025 22:06:57
Evening chaps hope alls good. got to take the ruff with the smooth. not our best performance. gutted to concede late goal… we didn’t lose, picked up a point which could be crucial come the end of the season just as much as the two points dropped could be. but who knows.? . the thing is it’s a marathon not a sprint. we have a host of players to come back into the fold real soon…I genuinely believe once said players are back fit and firing we will see some hidings being handed out…we are top of the league… we won’t win every game this season, there will be ups and downs.
just think we should all stay level headed. but we will definitely be in with a shout of some silverware. just wanted to say i'm grateful that it really feels like we’ve got our arsenal back. COYG/VTH ?⚪️❤️.
08 Nov 2025 22:33:05
I have no idea why we let the last ten minutes be so open, i expected us to kill the game and hide in the corner. Dropping two points so late is massively disappointing.
However, we'll still be top tomorrow by at least 4 points, so I think there's a sliver of hope.
08 Nov 2025 23:57:10
And its that tiny sliver of hope we must hold on to SW ????.
08 Nov 2025 19:45:15
10 games without a goal against us and 2 come at once. Never rains but it pours ? ?.
08 Nov 2025 08:53:09
As MLS has been omitted from the England squad, reportedly because of lack of regular game time, should Arteta send him out on loan or is he too valuable for us to do this?
08 Nov 2025 11:47:06
Keep him 100% in my opinion Sally.
He could easily play in more than 20 games for us this season between now and Tuchel picking his final squad.
09 Nov 2025 12:43:02
Worth remembering the lad is still just a kid! Last season was an aberration given injuries to our other LBs. He'll get plenty of minutes between now and May.
