Wow, thanks Mavrapanos, once a gooner. Lol. Up to us now....
14 Mar 2026 23:41:45
Winger has done it again.

Wenger******.
15 Mar 2026 00:15:54
Only fitting to have a typo on a Sally post. 🤣
14 Mar 2026 21:59:51
Mavropanos 💪🏻🧱🧱 wall ⚽️ (m. o. m) . Well deserved point for West Ham. And a great result for us gooners. Really looking forward to putting my feet up tomorrow afternoon and watching the football.
14 Mar 2026 21:19:17
I’m saying this now that Max Dowman goal will go down in history as Arsenal's greatest goal ever!
14 Mar 2026 23:35:59
Nah! It's up for grabs now, Mickey T. COYG.
15 Mar 2026 08:10:10
For us older lot. Mickey T away at Liverpool by a country mile. I was there. The experience will be forever etched in my soul. I've actually got goosebumps as I text this short message. And, for any of our younger posters that never experienced that magical night, go treat yourself and watch the best title decider in the history of the old First Division.
Oh what a night. Never forget the massive goal that Alan Smudger Smith scored to set us on our way, and Steve McMahon holding up 1 finger, telling the Liverpool fans 1 minute to go. Mickey gets the ball, and the rest, as they say, my friends, is history. Oh what a night. 🔴⚪️❤️

Just watch 89 the documentary! It's funny, every time I watch, I get a bit of dust in my eyes when Wrighty talks about David Rocastle COYG
#lessofthe`usolderlot` Gabi:) .

Rocky Rocastle.. What a player. My old dad used to say he was the only Englishman good enough to play for Brazil. Taken way too early. We still remember & love Rocky. 🙏🏻
15 Mar 2026 20:52:28
Hi Sussex, I fully include myself as part of the us older lot. 😁
14 Mar 2026 20:09:10
I’m in bed high af and watching fan reactions on YouTube. The emotions from our fans brought a tear to my eye because it was exactly how I was celebrating! And the fans' reactions to Dowman scoring, wow! I now believe this win will make the players lift themselves closer to the title COYG 🫡.

🎶🎶 He’s got school Monday morning 🎶🎶 School Monday morrrning 🎶🎶 Super, super Max, super Max Dowman 🎶🎶 He’s one of our own… What a talent… Always wants to make things happen…COYG/VTH… 🔴⚪️❤️.
14 Mar 2026 22:35:08
Just watched MOTD and the highlight of Max's goal - smiling so so much watching him score & celebrate. An absolute delight.
14 Mar 2026 19:34:56.
Dowman! My boy!
We were pathetic until he came on, can’t put pressure on him but he could be the spark we need for the last few games. As for the rest of the team, somebody should tell them that we need to score goals to win matches.
14 Mar 2026 22:21:53
Very true - Arteta must see it & address.
Vic, Kai & Jesus ain't the answer - let's get a Henry or a Wright, please. Let's see some goals and someone who can score a goal out of nothing & run past a player.
14 Mar 2026 22:45:42
No players like Henry about in this era. Modern football lacks elite strikers like back in the day.
Game has changed.
Falco, Crespo, Andry Shevchenko, Ruud van Nistelrooy, David Villa, Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Samuel Eto, Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo Nazario, Thierry Henry, sure I have missed a few, all from the same era.
Who do we have now that could stand up to that list? Haaland and maybe Mbappe.
14 Mar 2026 23:21:34
I like Osimhen.
14 Mar 2026 23:29:26
Think that ship has now sailed, mate, and unfortunately there is a lack of top strikers now, so options are slim. It was quite depressing making that list; we were spoilt for strikers. The game is more about build up and possession, the Rice and Rodri are now more important.
Hopefully it will come full circle soon and get back to entertainment. Stats have killed the game a bit, everything is so calculated now, and VAR does not help, especially in the Prem. The low block is killing the fun. Moments like today are few and far between now, unfortunately.
14 Mar 2026 16:47:24
Let’s put a performance in to make us proud and a result that puts pressure on City.
COYG - Interesting line up…don’t really like Noni on left wing so who gets their preferred spot on right - Saka or Noni.
Could we see some switching around which would be good to see…goal king Kai leading the attack. 🤔
Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Madueke, Kai
See you on live 👍.
14 Mar 2026 19:36:23
Regardless of the line up, the approach is sideways and backwards. Can we also hire an attacking coach please!
14 Mar 2026 19:48:03
Attacking coach = Bergkamp. (All day long) .
14 Mar 2026 19:56:24
Or just bring Dowman on to show the olds how to play.
14 Mar 2026 21:28:15
Hi Sy, hope alls good, fella. Dowman, what a talent. Showed everyone how it's done. Still think we should bring in Bergkamp and/or Wrighty as attacking coach/coaches. 😉
14 Mar 2026 22:18:19
Think we need someone with some attacking flare. Plan B can't be a long throw.
It would be great to see someone strong and forceful & clever, as Arteta is stubborn: you need to be able to sell your idea & have an idea. Love those two, but Wright is too passionate & not strategic. DB is a god, but not sure he's forceful enough.
It would be great for DB to be attacking coach on the training ground. Great addition to the back room staff.
I'd love Keown as number two, as he'd be strong enough to stand up to the players & manager. Sure he would make a difference.
Dowman was awesome, and reflects zero of what Arteta and team stand for.
He was 100% attack. Take a risk, pass forward, don't take the lazy easy pass. I'd love to see a stat on how many useless passes our players made ( backwards / sideways ) , how we go from a corner to passing back to Raya.
Compared to Max.
The difference in mindset was frightening.
I'm great, mate - you?
That game was terrible. Everton played way better football until Max came on. Why the boss plays Noni LW is ridiculous & our zero attack play is embarrassing - we are in the entertainment game.
However - huge win & huge result.
13 Mar 2026 12:09:28
If you are talented you will play with anyone, not this. He plays better with so and so, they are all together in training.
Entitled Sal to you opinion but not having it. Sorry.
Maybe he needs a reality check and put him on the bench.
13 Mar 2026 15:59:05
I second that. He's been dreadful lately, and his goals and assists are nowhere near world class. We seemed more dangerous when Noni came on. As for him in a number 10, no thanks.
13 Mar 2026 16:33:08
Saka may just need some rest, he hasn't been in top form last few games. He definitely needs to be more impactful now that he is the top earner.
I would give Dowman the number 10 role. He was great against Mansfield. He can be replaced by Eze (or Ode when available) in the later part of the games.
13 Mar 2026 16:40:03
I don't think he has been the same since coming back from injury, Bill.
14 Mar 2026 09:18:29
I think that's a valid point, Sally, but he really needs to be aware of Gyokeres making runs, and he needs to get into the box more.
14 Mar 2026 12:07:51
Don't worry about Saka - he's quality. Funny how no one backed me pointing out how poor Ode was. But now Arteta has killed our attack; he has forwards defending and playing more naturally with our backs to goal, so that Saka is seen as an issue. It's our boss & his style of play. Look at Eze, look at the strikers (non-strikers) he buys. Look at the lack of fire we like in our captain. There is a lack of creativity because of Arteta. I'm not sure Saka is world class, but he is head and shoulders above Jesus, Vic, Kai, Martinelli, and Trossard. If they were all up for sale, which player would Real or City bid for if there was room in their team? Saka& Rice would be one & two.
Blame the boss, not one of our best players.
Blame the people that call him world class, which is a term only a few players in each position can hold. It's like the word celebrity or star. If a reality TV person is a celebrity, what the hell does that make Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.
Sorry for the rant, but there are plenty other players & manager & people in the dugout to blame first, who celebrate winning a corner rather than getting a bit of play for a goal. We struggle scoring, so what do we do? Long throws & wrestling.
14 Mar 2026 16:45:00
SY4, the style of play is (potentially) gonna win us our first title in 20 years!! Saka, and only Saka, is to blame for poor form. It has nothing to do with Arteta or the coaches. Jesus Christ, we are gonna win our first title for 20 years and Arteta is still getting stick, pmsl.
If, and it's a big if, Arteta wins our only CL trophy, he will go down as one of our greatest managers, and people will still have a go l, can't please some people, hahahah.
12 Mar 2026 21:03:41
I've been thinking about our star boy's form and saw an interesting post.
It suggested he finds playing with White and Odegaard much easier, not so much with Timber and Eze. And he is limited now with his natural game, which is to cut back and go for goal. I believe this changing role, to try and find the striker, is stifling his talent.
13 Mar 2026 01:36:16
Sally, I agree that White and Odegaard made Saka shine. But, on the other hand, he's probably our best player (although now I wonder whether that might be Rice?) , and we can't make excuses for him. I liked Madueke's cameo, and with Dowman waiting for his shot, I think Saka needs to be pushed to add to his game.
I think we've talked about it before, but I really do have sympathy for Gyokeres, because he makes these runs to the back post when Saka has the ball, but the timing on the final cross is impossible for anyone but Saka to know.
13 Mar 2026 08:48:40
I've said this a few weeks ago. He's not world class, nowhere near, and he doesn't score enough goals, but that's my opinion. Some posters worship him. Madueke (spelling) is more dangerous when taking on players. I'm not saying he's better, his end product needs to be worked on, but at this moment in time I'd start him ahead of Saka.
Saka was awful on Weds. I agree with Gyokeres, if you just watch him when he's in frame he makes loads of runs and doesn't get service. It's annoying, lol, because he only needs a sniff at goal and he scores.
13 Mar 2026 11:54:40
Saka delivers better corners but Madueke dives better. Tough choice.
13 Mar 2026 12:05:27
Interesting note in the Guardian today suggests playing Saka as a No 10. Did he take that role in the cup game against Mansfield? It could be an option with Eze not exactly shining and Noni a considerable threat.
It could be a tinker too far at the business end of the season, but we cannot break open defences as we did in the opening half of the season.
13 Mar 2026 13:20:12
It's called an opinion, Iceman!
13 Mar 2026 13:52:19
I think Noni poses more of a threat because, simply, Saka has become too greedy, he has become frustrating to watch imo. Noni seems more willing to get into the box.
13 Mar 2026 17:58:03
Dublin, I wasn't having a dig at you. Every non-Arsenal fan seems to be saying that we are only winning because we cheat and score from corners, so I figured I'll just leave a quick joke about that. I have a feeling it wasn't all that funny.
14 Mar 2026 16:47:26
No worries, Ice, I don't care how we win. A win is a win, we havnt cheated by selling hotels to fund our spending like Chelsea and City have done illegally! We have earnt our titles fair and square, and I fecking love how it annoys the hell out of everyone! I would take a one nil win every game from an own goal or corner all day, every day.
12 Mar 2026 08:42:04
Just seen that Everton have the second best away form after us.
12 Mar 2026 11:55:02
And our home record isn't great recently. 😃
COYG!!!
12 Mar 2026 17:58:21
I don't expect any of these games to be pretty, but we just have to get the job done! These are games ordinarily we would be expected to win, but pressure does funny things! However, three points gives us a 10 point lead, with a tired City away at an in-form West Ham. Straws well and truly clutched! Where's my briefcase, COYG.
12 Mar 2026 18:52:30
Lol, Sussex mate,
I wrote earlier, we may have a bigger points gap at the end of this round of fixtures. Carabao Cup final will be interesting. We both would have played the second round of CL matches.
