Not going to happen right now, but the thoughts are pouring in; I go to any of your pages and see some of your fans already having that conversation - if he fails to deliver this season, there will be a need for such a talk since players are getting older, some are past their prime.

Fans always talk, if such conversations mattered Arteta will not have been in the job past the first year. I do not think a margin of 2 or 3 points at the end of the season is down to management, it is just the side of the line you fall on after 38 matches. It is still a dream season with a push for all four titles on offer, full focus in on how many of those silver-wares we have in our hands come the end of the season. The job of the manager now is to drown out the outside noise and let the boys have their fun on the pitch.

Millie is the GOAT. Wish I had his discipline. Bored by the games today so far, honestly. un_rank, enjoy the season, whatever happens!

Let’s all unify in hoping Arsenal choke once again though

Poor un_rank haha. One of my mates (more like wife's colleague really) is a really decent Gooner, and I just had to rub it in the last we met. I offered him my Sportsbet Arsenal sweater and... he refused haha. Ah, life can still be all right with hatefootball...

FPL take away the rivalry in you, kill the passion and sometimes turn you against your own team

Truth, padi. I thought I hated sportsbetting, Superbru, etc. But FPL turns me into the most annoyed creature, hating and hating, never loving. And I'm not even in a position fighting for cash, just swimming out at sea with sharks.

Bro have you seen your remaining fixtures, I don’t think you could pick a more difficult end to a season if you tried

I trust us more in tougher fixtures than in the easiest ones on paper just like today's game. We bottled another chance to close gaps on Aston Villa after they dropped another points today..

Manchester United and Liverpool winning tomorrow will be bad for our chances of finishing in Top 4.

We all hate Arsenal, they're too loud with little to nothing to offer, just some broke club leaving in past Glory. We're going to choke them in our fixture to help Manchester City.

I see the odds for Tottenham to win are getting bigger and bigger,,, quite sad as a fan to see that bookies and markets are looking at us sideways like this even though we are playing at home and it is a London derby

Still, I think our team will have zero pressure to win,,, but deep down they know they need all 3 points to get somewhere safe in the league. Everything is on our side, no reason to fear

That was the type of night I was hoping for, a big win in a North London derby and importantly a very good performance from the team. Injured players are almost all returned, apart from the long term absence of Merino the squad is all but complete, important for the run of games to come.
Eze and Gyokores both scoring a brace will do a lot for the confidence of both players.

Spurs are not at our level but it is always good to beat them, that relegation battle is looking more imminent for them now. I know they will very likely stay up but it will still be fun to jab them about it.

Disappointing result for hate-watch, but I wasn't expecting anything from Totteham; They're up there on Wolves and Burnley's level - I knew you'd wipe their asses pretty good, just like everyone else has this season.

I still think the decision to disallowed Totteham second goal was awful; he had his hands on his back but that was a soft dive and VAR didn't even look at it. That goal could've changed a lot.

It is one of those that should the referee had allowed it on field VAR would have not interfered, it will not be a clear and obvious error whatever the on field decision was. The push on Gabriel against Newcastle was much clearer than that, I will like to see him take that out of the game. As the last line of defense you deal with the threat first even if it means fighting through a push.

I really enjoyed watching Gyokores today, one of his best performance for me. He needs to make some of his one touch passes sharper but besides that excellent center forward play.
