A thought on this season (Premiership/Championship/All other UK Leagues/Champions’ League/FA Cup/Any leagues world wide)

Is it just me, or is Arteta a total knob?

Yeah, it's just you...

Well, he did break my son's heart when he went to Arsenal, but no, he is alright.

GET IN!

Eddie, Eddie!

Me heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest! I haven't felt like that for years. Great result.

We were camped in their penalty area for a lot of the second half. I was getting very worried it was going to be one of "those" games, but up pops Eddie at the end!

Same here. Particularly when they checked the 3rd goal.

Yes, we really deserved to win.

The Virtual Arsenal Referee came up trumps again today.

I thought the same, but he didn't really cause us many problems.

Yes, we really deserved to win.

Yep and the stats also agree. Still not getting excited yet though!

And, for superstitious reasons again;

♫"Top of the league, we're havin' a laugh"♫

No, it feels like a dream. I only really started following Arsenal properly 15 years ago when I met my husband so this is the first time for me that we are in a position to actually win the league. I only ever remember us aiming for top four to so this just seems unreal.

I remember speaking to my neighbour who is also an Arsenal fan when we got Jesus and Zinchenko and he wasn't too optimistic after we bottled it at the end of last season whereas I thought that we would do really well. Every time I have seen him since then my greeting has been "We are still top of the league". I just hope it lasts.

They were just saying Sky that Man City won't give us any of their players anymore because we are now a rival. I was thinking that a few months ago.

I'm sure it'll be fine, Pep loves Arteta, so he'll sell us Haaland in the summer...

And ManUre have inflated the market to way beyond ridiculous by paying £100 million for Antony? The guy's a show pony. Saka must be worth £500 million at that rate...

Inject this into my veins!

This made me lol.

Well, he did say he wanted to go wherever Ødegaard went!

And who could blame him...

it's exciting sort of following Arsenal this year.
Gladbach? less so. Although pulling back from 0-3 down to lose 2-3 isn't as bad as it could have been.
New goalie must be wondering what he's got himself into - our defence were still on holiday apparently.

Oh dear - Everton have sacked Frank Lampard.

Still waiting for the club'sofficial announcement

It was coming. I am sorry to see him go but he has been all over the place this season.

Thanks for Crystal Palace and uniting the fans Frank.

@DuncinToffee Looks as though Moshiri has officially put Everton up for sale. So that’s Man U, Liverpool and Everton all on offer - interesting times.

Has he? Off to google it, I have avoided the Everton Twitter today

Buy two get one free?

The old Beelzebud advert - Two teams in Liverpool? Why not Liverton United (purple shirts)?

As the original team, surely we get the naming and colour rights. We can do a blue liver bird

The for sale story seems a bit wishy-washy with conflicting accounts at the moment.
