Every time Manchester City move closer to Arsenal in the table, the specter of the 115 charges looms larger.
At this point, I doubt it’s resolved before the end of the season.
It continues to cast a pall over the season and throw the integrity of the Premier League competition into doubt.

I am officially worried about Ebere Eze's fit on this Arsenal team. He, Arteta, and the other players cannot seem to find a role that allows him to shine.

very frustrating to see Brentford go down any time there's any contact

These older looking Brentford supporters look like lovely people. I'm sure we'd get on really well at the pub or the coffeeshop.
In this moment, I hope Arsenal ruin their evenings.

Arsenal need to win the league so the Peacock waiting screen is the House that Arsene built rather than Anfield.

I've got a bad feeling about Arsenal today. I'm usually confident about the team going into any and every match, but I've just got bad vibes today.
I'm more than happy to be wrong.

Hadn't realized that Brentford's Josh Dasilva has missed two years from a horrible knee injury (ACL, MCL, and meniscus - three surgeries).
Awful stuff. He's hoping to return to training on grass soon, per reports.
I wish him the best of luck, really rooting for him.

If he has such a problem with immigrants, buy and play only British footballers at Manchester United.

Threw some stuff in the washer and got some laundry detergent on my hands.
Went upstairs to rinse off my hands and put soap on them to clean off the laundry soap.
