Still feeling positive about Arsenal’s title chances despite a gutting defeat today, as long as we can get players fit again. Three home games in our next four and a chance to be on 45 points at the midway stage. That’s a 90-point pace and 90 points wins the title this year. Chin up, Gooners.

Reality is that big Gabi & Saliba are the glue that holds everything together. Losing one makes things hard enough, losing both is devastating. The players out there deserve a lot of credit & support. The amount of negativity & criticism is unfair & disappointing to see tbh.

Just one game too far without all these injured players. Shame we couldn’t hold on for a point, always a tough away game, but a wake up call if anyone thought it was gonna be easy. More worrying thing for me is Arsenal have failed to beat pretty much all the teams around them.

Two wins in five league games for Arsenal now as well. It’s shaky form 😢
December 6, 2025 at 2:32 PM
Yep, injuries catch up with you. We were average again away from home but it’s fairly understandable. Mixed feelings really, but of course, a real blow and just a three-point lead likely by the end of the day. Gonna be a long season

Haven’t been able to watch but as soon as I saw no Saliba again, I had concerns. Big uphill battle now to get something from this game. Injuries will catch up eventually sadly.

Wow, Saturday at Villa is huge. They’re only six points behind. Big win tonight. Onwards!

You can’t win the league if all your best players keep getting injured. That better be precautionary.
December 3, 2025 at 9:12 PM
Solid half, need another to kill it off but some really nice football. These injuries though. Cannot keep picking them up and sustaining results. We really need a lucky break. Hopefully Wilo is back for Villa. Fingers crossed it’s a precaution for Mosquera. We can’t just have nice things can we?
December 3, 2025 at 8:24 PM
Three centre backs out injured. Cool.
December 3, 2025 at 8:12 PM
Lol, I love Madueke and he’s been class. But, erm, we miss Saka’s delivery from corners 🤣

Good to see Ben White back. We need another one tonight you feel.

You can’t convince me that City side hasn’t got at least three or more defeats in them with the way they defend. They leak goals. You don’t tend to win a title with 7/8 losses. I think they’ll do well to get 80+ points.

An abysmal game of football. We cannot keep having multiple key players out all season. Very frustrating but lucky to get a point all things considered. Take it and run.
November 30, 2025 at 6:27 PM
A really poor half in truth. One we probably only feel better about because Chelsea are down to 10. Need to make a few changes to protect those we have on a yellow at some point. But more importantly, we need to really up our performance in the 2nd half. Too passive. More energy and drive please.
November 30, 2025 at 5:25 PM
Would still take 0-0 at HT. Get in, calm down and restart.
November 30, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Right decision.

And AGAIN.

That's a red card surely
I ask again ...
Is Caicedo just allowed do what he wants?
November 30, 2025 at 5:05 PM
Awful, awful tackle by Caicedo. Has to go.
November 30, 2025 at 5:05 PM
This must be a red
November 30, 2025 at 5:05 PM
We need half time. This has been really poor from us so far. Offering nothing and looking shaky.
November 30, 2025 at 5:01 PM
I don’t care what anyone says, missing both Gabriel and Saliba is a huge blow. It’s half our defence and the entire centre of our defence, as well as two leaders and big characters. Already feel like we’d do well to get a point. So disjointed and so many poor giveaways. Hard not to link the two.
November 30, 2025 at 4:55 PM
Was about to say exactly this. Dishing out cards for every single foul. Poor refereeing.
Anthony Taylor is going to have a hard time keeping 22 players on the pitch here. Everyone is going to want a yellow for every challenge from here.

That second half from Arsenal was fucking sensational. As good as you could possibly hope to put in against a team as good as this.

Bossed it 100%. Madueke with his first goal, and then Martinelli, no less than we deserved. And Bayern offered NOTHING after the break.

Hello Europe, we're Arsenal

FT: That was a serious performance from a serious team. Bayern's quality is obvious but the way we steamrolled them in that second half was a joy to watch - it's almost like pace and power off the bench can help?

Too many individuals to pinpoint but Declan Rice - MY WORD. ❤️
