Never in my wildest dreams when we signed Havertz did I think he could become this good, for us or anyone. Presses like a demon, physically strong, brilliant timing of his runs, excellent vision. My expectations were low when he was signed and I thought trying to rehabilitate him would cost us the title. Together with Odegaard though he's one of the main reasons we're still in the mix and scoring for fun. Long may it continue.

Agree wire… (havertz ) . I knew there was a player in there, just needed the right coach to bring him out of his shell. a lot of people forgot, that before he went to Chelsea he was one of the most sought after young talents in Europe. and as for captain fantastic odegaard, got be one of the best midfielders in world football… NUFF SAID. 😉.

29 Apr 2024 15:11:28
I was excited by the potential but wasn't quite sure how good he would become for us. The reception he got was very unjust in my opinion (i remember someone even calling him the worst signing of the summer) . I'm so happy for him now that he's come good.

Never had a doubt trust the process trust Arteta, Trust the Team.

Woke up this morning with a spring in my step, wonder why that is

It's time's like this you'd miss the Raver

EIE.

Top 4 secured st totteringham day both on the same day and their stadium just need Man City to slip up.

29 Apr 2024 12:16:59
You're thinking of a jack-in-the-box, Mal.

28 Apr 2024 19:54:33
Loving the footage of benny blanco trying to loosen Vicario's glove at a corner 👌 😀 the little menace.

29 Apr 2024 12:13:05
Utterly hilarious, the kind of s**thousing that's harmless but seems to wind up opposing fans to no end. Really love having him in the side.

28 Apr 2024 16:42:41
Sloppy mistake by raya let the spuds back in. spurs are a bunch of divers and cheats. but N🔴RTH LONDON will always be red. 💪🏻👊🏻 spurs get back in your box and stay in that massive shadow that looms over you. COYG/ VTH.

Brilliant result Gabi exactly what was required 3pts. Unfortunately despite giving it a really good go Forest couldn't do us a favour.

Up The Arsenal 👍.

29 Apr 2024 06:59:32
It will take something special to take points off City BUT I have a sneaky feeling that Spuds ( much to their annoyance ) will snatch at least a point off of them.

Raya's blunder could have been costly but we move on, got result in the end.

28 Apr 2024 16:28:49
All we can do is win our game and we are doing that

Well done Mikel and the boys

EIE.

{Ed014's Note - it was only the howler by Raya that even gave them a sniff to be fair too.

At least now we have a weeks break between games.

28 Apr 2024 16:45:09
Hello Mal and Ed14
The boys looked tired last 20 minutes.
As you mentioned Ed, that Raya, s mistake gave the Spuds impetus, but we dug in and came out with the 3pts, something we would not have done in the past.
Next up Bournemouth who are a good side with a clever manager but I am sure Mikel will gets the boys.
5 days rest than another Cup Final
COYG❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

{Ed014's Note - hi bill, it’s been a very busy April with non stop games, I think they said we’d played four since the spuds last game.

The rest will defo do them the world of good.

28 Apr 2024 16:57:48
Raya didn’t put a foot wrong after that Ed, he won a load of crosse’s

Do you believe we can do it 14?

{Ed014's Note - he recovered really well mate and wasn’t slating him but can’t call it anything other than a howler.

My concern is simply City doing what they do, keep on winning!

28 Apr 2024 18:32:16
Any keepers on here who can explain why keepers kick it out down the middle, it always looks so vulnerable!

28 Apr 2024 20:42:54
Sally, my wife once said I was a keeper. Does that count?

{Ed025's Note - love it sharpey..

28 Apr 2024 20:45:43
I bought my misses some goalie gloves for Christmas and told her she was a keeper- she also didn’t appreciate my putting up her photo as Employee of The Month but there you go! What do you call a snowman with a six pack? An Abdominal Snowman. As for kicking down the middle logically I guess it gives you a whole 180 degrees to pass back to ( or turn even) whereas kicking to the touch line gives you 90 degrees! I guess they are programmed to want to keep possession and down the middle is easier I guess. COYG.

28 Apr 2024 21:18:36
Mistakes will always happen in football and all players will make crazy mistakes, whether it's missing an open goal at one end or giving a silly goal away at the other end, keepers mistakes are usually the most costly so will always be remembered long after the strikers mistakes are forgotten. Alls well that ends well 👍👍👍👍.

29 Apr 2024 10:09:06
I reckon you guys are all keepers lol.

29 Apr 2024 12:17:37
Stop sweet talking me, Sally. I'm just not use to it!

28 Apr 2024 11:57:49
N🔴RTH LONDON IS RED. COME ON YOU GUNNERS. VICTORY THROUGH HARMONY. 🔴⚪️❤️.

27 Apr 2024 21:15:30
Chido Martin obi. At it again for u18s. Norwich City 0-9 the arsenal. the lad bagged 7. he now has 28 goals this season including 24 in the last 7.⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️🔥🔥. surely he could at least be included in pre- season just to see how he shapes up. he's definitely one to keep an eye on. 👀.

27 Apr 2024 15:47:28
And then there were two.

27 Apr 2024 07:39:16
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Everton v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

26 Apr 2024 19:20:42
The funniest thing would be if Tottenham beat City in a few weeks meaning the title would be ours if we beat Everton at home.

26 Apr 2024 19:53:32
It would be interesting if spuds went into that game on level points with Villa.

27 Apr 2024 02:06:47
I have a nasty suspicion that, even if spurs were winning, they'd give the three points to city to spoil our party.
All we can do is beat them ourselves and hope.

26 Apr 2024 08:15:07
I never thought that city would roll over and hand us the league title

All we can do is win our games and see where it takes us

EIE.

26 Apr 2024 09:16:46
Thats all we can do Mal mate.
If we win it what a fantastic achievement and if we don't it will certainly go down to the wire IMO
COYG❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

{Ed014's Note - they are a bit of a machine and like Mal says all we can do is win our games!

26 Apr 2024 09:43:26
I don't know why but for weeks I've had the feeling Forest would be the team to take points off City, no logical reason they should be, its just feeling that set in a few weeks ago

But if we win all our games and take the title race to the final day of the season who could argue that we've had a fantastic season and have improved dramatically on last seasons fantastic season which itself was our best season for 18 years. Winners or runners up we gooners have very very little to be unhappy about or dissatisfied with 👍👍👍👍

Up the Arsenal whatever the weather 👍.

26 Apr 2024 09:58:32
The lads have given a great account of themselves no matter how this season ends. Beating City to the title is always going to be difficult because, like 14 said, they're a machine. Over the 6 previous seasons, they've only lost the league once.

Once Pep leaves City, do any of you think Arteta might be lured over? I hope not, but City usually get their man.

26 Apr 2024 10:49:21
It's difficult to say, I suppose it depends on what Arteta has achieved with us by the time Pep leaves. Obviously he may have other options in Spain too if he continues what he's doing with us, Barcelona and Real are big attractions and few managers resist both if and when the chance arrives to manage them.

26 Apr 2024 19:21:49
I can't see Arteta going to City, he knows what fans would think of him. I think his next step would be abroad.

27 Apr 2024 15:53:27
His next step I think would barca.
