On that one I agree with you gooner7. I realise people claim he’s a difficult character. But if his personality is genuinely that flawed, why is he the captain of the French Under 21 team, or is it the Under 23 team? I can’t remember but I know he’s been made the captain of one of them.

Also, why is Deschamps including Guendouzi in the squad for the full French team? He must know something about what makes a fine midfielder, including in terms of psychological make up, as that’s exactly what he was himself. Furthermore when Marseille’s regulator captain hasn’t played, their manager has made Guendouzi the captain.

As a player he’s got good ball control as well as being a fine passer over long and short distances. His work rate isn’t equaled by many, and he competes. I realise Guendouzi has very likely played his last game for us, but in my view (I’m absolutely aware that this opinion won’t be shared by many here, or even any), getting rid of him has so far been Arteta’s biggest mistake as manager.

Wobble your head lads. Guendouzi a match winner my arse

Galatasaray ran rings round him the other week.

I saw a stat that showed Man U only pressured 27 of our 503 passes in the game. Ie Man U didn’t press us, or if they did try to they were miles off as only 27 of our passes were considered ‘under pressure’. So our inability to hold on to the ball was far too many unforced errors.

Seems very odd for Aubameyang to like Ronaldo’s celebratory post on Instagram after Manchester United had just beaten the team representing the club he captains. Okay, Aubameyang may admire Ronaldo. I do myself. After all, he was probably one of the two greatest players of his generation, albeit in my view in second place after Messi. But is that a reason to like Ronaldo’s post celebrating Manchester United’s defeat of Arsenal?

Not in my opinion. Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t think it enhances the perception of Aubameyang as sporting either. To me it makes him look a berk. I would expect more from an Arsenal captain in terms of respecting not only the club but the fans, not just those across the world but those who spent their hard earned money to go to Old Trafford.

Just read that West Ham have beaten Liverpool, Chelsea, City, Utd, Tottenham and Leicester this season. That’s sensational. Almost glad I’m missing the inevitable disappointment of the home game as it’s my sons school play.

Just two U21 sides left in the Papa John’s Trophy. Us (with Balogun) and Chelsea.

And guess who we’ve just drawn in the third round.

I’m looking forward to the Women’s FA Cup final tomorrow. Arsenal v Chelsea at Wembley. It’s live on BBC ONE and the kick off is at 2.00 pm though the coverage starts at 1.30 pm.

It’s the top two teams in the women’s league. We’re currently ahead of Chelsea by one point.

This bit right at the end made sense sadly

…if you remove Arsenal's best and worst performances, their xG differential in the remaining matches is still below average. So even if you do remove the blowouts, what you're left with is not a very good team."

Should be a good game.

Or not! Not a great start.

Lucky to only be 1-0 down at half time. Improved a bit towards the end of the first half, so hopefully things will get better.

Very lucky. But that luck has just run out as it’s 0-2.

They look much poorer that my previous impression. I guess that they are having a bad one.

3-0 now. All over. We’ve been so poor and Chelsea have been so good.

And as it stands the mens team is now down to 7th.

A win, a win. My kingdom for a win.

Everton are sputtering. We need to put them to the sword. They may play like cornered rats. That will make it tougher but if we come out with a clear intent of leaving with nothing but 3 points, they may roll over like a beta male lion.

Are we playing Everton tonight?

Yup
