And VAR can check that even if the ref thought it was a dive

 

Kane sucks

 

Hit him in the face. No yellow. Lol

 

Xhaka should be off

 

Levy is going to regret not selling him so, so much. Seemed insane at the time and it proves to be with every passing game.

 

And Skipp gets a yellow on his first foul

 

Deserved though, bad tackle.

 

It was definitely a yellow by normal standards. But based on how Xhaka has been treated I didn’t think we were going by normal standards.

 

Gil on. Go save the day lad!

 

I genuinely thought Xhaka was booked in the first half. I vividly remember the ref showing him a yellow. Whoops.

 

I think it’s clear we can’t play a 433. We really need to go back to a 4231 with Skipp and Hojbjerg as the CM pairing. We’d have so much more stability in the midfield. Instead, we have Dele and Ndombele getting absolutely destroyed defensively.

 

Skipp has improved Spurs a tremendous amount this half.

 

3-1. Scenes if they come back

 

Oof that looked bad for Xhaka

 

We should have put the ball out so he could get treatment the first chance we could. Ended up playing with 10 in the second phase and got punished.

 

Xhaka seemed to be struggling a few minutes before that as well. Don’t know why that sub took so long.

 

I hope we see more of Skipp and Gil going forward. Let the young players develop. We aren’t winning shit anyways.

 

Be funny if that had gone in.

 

Well at least we broke Ramsdale’s clean sheet streak lol

 

“Relegation candidates” Arsenal are now above “Champions league candidates” Spurs.

How quickly things change.

Commiserations to the many Spurs fans in here, you improved in the second half and had me and others around me a little worried. I’m off to get very pissed lol.

Nuno received the Manager Of The Month award in his first few weeks in the job. Three games later his own team's fans are debating who should take over as caretaker boss.

 

I’ll give him a break for the Palace match because it was after a legit disastrous international break. We were so screwed during that break. But it just snowballed from there and he couldn’t get everyone back on track.

 

I wanted to attach the videos of the Emirates concourse and stadium but instead i’ll say that i haven’t seen the stadium ever have an atmosphere like that for a league game. It felt like the atmosphere you get away in Europe or for a huge cup final.

There’s a lot of talk about Arsenal fans, their expectations and their attitudes but honestly, since coming back to the stadium they have been brilliant. Getting behind the team even when we were losing. I hope they keep it up, it’s been a much, much nicer place to watch football.
