Mikel Arteta liked The Football Weekend’s post about how Unai Emery has the drop on him in these Arsenal-Aston Villa encounters. Surely a stray swipe on Instagram! www.instagram.com/p/DS3aVeSkZF...

Too much is asked of Rice. He is built different but even he can't play that many minutes across 10 days.

It's harsh on him but Merino really has to score there at the death. No need for the big backlift or much pace on the shot at all — just put it high in the net!

Liverpool have been living on the edge all season, and this time things did not break their way late on. It looked like they could be bailed out by an offside, but Eddie Nketiah was on by inches to strike a blow in the title race 8 minutes into stoppage time on behalf of his boyhood club Arsenal …

That’s exactly what you’d hope for from Gabriel Martinelli when players are brought in to compete for his position. That’s the stuff he used to pull at Stamford Bridge!

I’ve been tuning in all season to witness Tottenham and Manchester United’s faceplants, but knowing what the fallout would be here, I couldn’t quite enjoy the double planting-of-the-face that was the Europa League final:

Even if you remove the off-the-field concerns (which you shouldn't) extending Thomas Partey is a huge risk. He's had his best season in an Arsenal shirt this year, particularly with regard to staying fit. But his overall fitness record is really poor, his role is demanding, and he turns 32 in June.

One thing I meant to cover in this piece is that the Goodison crowd may well be the most partisan in England. You can hear it during this Everton-Man City match: nobody bays for a decision quite like this lot, and they often get them! www.thefootballweekend.com/p/cathedrals...

When Arsenal lost out on the Premier League title to Manchester City in 2022-23, they were spending close to £200 million less than City on player wages. Nothing predicts league performance like the wage bill, which suggests Mikel Arteta has wildly overperformed as manager.
