Think quite fine to experiment in this game. I'm surprised no Mustafi.

Was Guendozi that badly hit as to go down so dramatically? I dont like his play-acting. The other regular culprit is Lacazette.

2 lucky escapes

Nice play, Smith Rowe nearly got the goal

I like Smith-Rowe's energy

It looks vety clear why Mav is not anywhere near the first team

How do you sky it over the goal when inside the 18 yard box with no pressure and an open look? Hit the friggin' target at a bare minimum.

The young players are moving forward faster. That's good.

Was he not injured?

The positive: the young players looking quite good and doing ok. They should be good enough as our squaddies to start a dozen games in all competitions. We need to upgrade and have a really strong first 11 though.

Not sure if he was. He looks shaky.

Same friggin ball movement every match. Groundhog day ever buildup.

As usual we let in two goals.

Willock what are you doing?? Not the best performance from him today all round really. Second in the group looks like. Well done, make sure we spunk our best chance at anything this season.

2 down only 3 more to go

2 deflections. If you continuously allow the opposition to have pot shots at your goal then you will concede plenty of deflected goals. It’s not bad luck. Stop the shot

We actually cut out the cross but pretty much just gave it straight to the guy in the box who it was originally meant for. I do not see any other team do this

2-2 now... nice goal by Saka.

We don't start getting more direct until backs are against the wall.

Brilliant assist and goal from Saka. Very impressive in a muggy old game to pull out two moments of quality like that. Martinelli with a little lay off for him in the box, just because I want to praise the lad. And we’re top!

..never in doubt...

Saw someone on twitter say our CB are the worst players in our squad, why would you want to put another one on the pitch

Haha, quite true. Sokratis and Chambers our first choice pair?

Oi fatone enough of the condescending votes and the trolling.

Bellerin is not entitled to vote so shouldn't make derogatory remarks.

I have voted in every general election, every local election and every referendum in the UK over the last 50 years. I think that entitles me to criticise Bellerin and the crap that TG posts.

Whether you consider me an immigrant or not is irrelevant but goes to show that imo you are the racist not I. Like many millions of Brexiteers I have nothing against immigrants whatever their colour or religion but believe in controlled immigration so the next government whatever their colour can start planning for the future development of our infrastructure. Something that has not been done since Tony Blair opened the doors to every Tom Dick and Vladimir in the EU and Middle East.

Apart from that my bladder is telling me Boris has done it as it appears Labour have had a terrible day.

Oh stop it. The major reason people wanted brexit is fromage stood in front of thousands of brown people on their way to the uk. This frightened the life out of the majority of Daily Mail readers and that was what it was all about.

C'est la vie ... better my 95% right than your 95% wrong track record .

Wenger smirking behind the scenes at Arsenal right now.

Saka did well today

I like the energy of our young players. Play them together more often, and they can grow into a strong fighting unit. Drop the slow-mo players.

True. But in my mind I am always right. So I go to sleep knowing the truth.

I've come across some thick people in my long life but none as thick as those that criticise others for things they cannot prove. Show us the proof, not just your opinion, that either of Johnson or Farage are racists.

Conversely I would say that the number of immigrants in the Cabinet and the number of candidates selected by The Brexit Party proves your comments to be contemptible.
You're an ass, and yes I can prove it.

Goodness

One of my friends sent me this..lol. I get teased for supporting a sport and a club and not a 'real American' sport.

Fair enough. Onward an upward!

Hohoho Merry Christmas one and all Arsenal top the table Boris rules the world. Onward and upwards for one nation conservatism.

Watch Boris do us proud. Have faith.

Here comes our big test. Hopefully the confidence from the last match is carried into the City challenge.

Johnson, a proven liar and a proven racist. You don't think calling black kids picaninnies or blacks with watermelon smiles, Muslim women letterboxes constitute racism. You are a bigger idiot than I thought. One nation conservatism, what? We have lurched towards fascism.

This is shameful ... so you get "teased " back home .... for probably not knowing the difference between the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Cubs
and then you've manfully ; gone out on a limb , picked an English Premier league club ; joined their forum and you get " teased" on there as welL

La vie peut entre tres injuste

You've had history with Bubblechris ...doesn't do you any favours " shooting from the blackberries " behind Dafatone .

Ever spoken to a real fascist?

Don’t know what that was supposed to imply. I just found it a shocking statement and find people who want to count “immigrants” in such a manner an unusual bunch.

I won’t steep low enough to talk about Rum or falling out the backside of your mum or anything as your usually a decent guy. Cheers

TG you and the fat one have no idea what it's like to be racially abused. Ask a black person many who supported Boris and Nigel if they think they are being abused don't listen to the pc fairies who won't let you call a spade a spade.
