It's been one hell of a season. Defeats in two finals, more stress than any human ought to have to put up with, but we're Premier League Champions and we'll be back to try and do it all over again next seaon.

Oh 100% it’s not a fun watch at all and with the margins so tight it’s incredibly stressful. The Fulham game was the first time in forever where it was enjoyable to watch

He’s had his critics and hasn’t been brilliant all season but what a fantastic performance by Gyokeres again. Tireless running and hold up play, unlucky not to score. Rice phenomenal again. Can’t say much of it was pretty but job done. Into the final!

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
And just about got the job done. Just need to do that 4 more times for a double!

I guess only hindsight will tell us now! Hoping Everton can do us a favour on Monday.

Part of me thought and part of me remembered just how much football we’ve played this season (more than any other team in Europe) so I’m just happy to get through unscathed & a bit more rested ahead of Tuesdays game

FT: Arsenal were good in the first half. Arsenal were ropey in the second half. A draw is a decent result going back home to the Emirates. I cannot believe that penalty was overturned. Eze was (clearly) fouled by Hancko and he bottled it after the Atletico players and Simeone got onto him. Coward.

We’ve already moved away from one of Zubi / Rice dropping to to the 6 to receive the ball between the centre backs and it’s so so bad again. It’s so hard to see what Arteta is trying to get his team to do in buildup. It’s going long all the team and never sticking. It’s bizarre.

Into the semi-finals of the Champions League! Hard work for the players. And it's hard work to watch this team struggle for fluency and rhythm. But it's done now. Out of the way. The right result over two legs. Atletico Madrid await, but all eyes now on Sunday.

Since they became more of a double pivot rather than Zubi6/Rice8 it’s just not worked and yet it’s persisted with week in week out. Abysmal today.

What else can we say about David Raya? He's had one or two wobbles this season but has so much credit in the bank - his shot stopping is unbelievable. Doesn't get the praise he deserves because we (usually) defend so well. Has such a big impact on the way we play as a team. What a goalkeeper.

Martinelli brilliant when he came on

Shocking decision not to give a penalty. Who the f is on VAR?

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
Glad to know we aren’t the only ones. I know defences have got so much better OOP but still, we’re such a tough watch lately.

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
When was the last time Arsenal played well? As in properly well? Our attackers are just so out of form. Hard to see where any goal is coming from. Zero threat (again).

Vicario so so bad as always

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 22/02/2026
Oof awful stat. But I still think our biggest issue is chance creation as opposed to what he’s doing. Hence the low xG as a result of that (vs better teams). If we can unlock a more balanced / fluid attack it’ll help him score more no doubt

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 22/02/2026
By a mile his best game for Arsenal. But arguably against one of the worst defences he’ll face.

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 22/02/2026
And there is our season summed up in 2minutes. Pathetic performances as soon as we score. We are our own worst enemy yet again.

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 22/02/2026
Timber has been brilliant up to January but noticeably poor since then. Not started well again today. Shame White just can’t stay fit enough to rotate in.

John Brooks at it again. How is that a yellow??

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 03/02/2026
Frustrating we’ve not played more balls over the top like that one for Martinelli. Feel like that’s on all the time.

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
That’s a perfect example of where Gyokeres HAS to do better. Taking far too long to get shots off. That was a golden chance. Just touch and hit!

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
The most blatant yellow card for DCL but nothing? He’s so late and above the foot.

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
Really don’t think the Zubimendi Zubi/Rice/Ode trio is working at all. We have to try something else. Merino deserves a start & we’ve got to get more from Eze. Kairat a free hit to try something new on Wednesday before a huge game away at Leeds. We’ve got to become less predictable

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 01/11/2025
Villa have absolutely no tactical ideas this game. Just kicking the ball back to Liverpool over and over. They’ve been terrible.

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 17/08/2025
Yep that was utterly terrible all round. So a great 3 points!

Ed Wilson @edwilson87.bsky.social · 17/08/2025
Nervous at the back. Indecisive going forwards. Not a good first 45. Hoping we can only get better from here

An utterly shite performance in the league again Arsenal.

We’ve run out of ideas. Haven’t played through the PSG press once

Very shaky. PSG very good. Aye true. Probably very instinctive.

Spot on and Arsenal fans have said it so often. He runs with the ball in between his slide rather than on the stronger foot. Means he always has to adjust his body more than others to open his foot up enough for that shot. So under pressure he rarely scores that.

Given how experienced Sterling is, being caught offside on Neely every cross field switch is really not good enough

Partey and Odegaard have been so sloppy this half. Come on lads.

I managed to get the Founders Edition for £59 on CD Keys. I’ve already sunk too many hours into it so I’m inclined to say yes! Like I said, there’s improvements to make but I’m finding it enjoyable. Playing multiplayer mostly which I think helps add an enjoyable layer

Yeah both been a huge plus this season. Nwaneri played mostly at 10 or F9 for U21s. I think he’s ideal in the Saka role, great eye for goal cutting off that wing

Same. It’s a strange feeling but there’s no pull there…yet. I have, founders edition so gone crazy but there’s 35% off on CD Keys so thought fuck it I’m gonna sink enough hours in to make it worthwhile - you?

wonder what’s going on at SI. The silence is deafening. Almost forgotten about FM. Roll on Civ VII
