Well done boys - professional display, 4 goals and a clean sheet. Well done.

Now let’s get the next handful of games under our control with some great displays as the odd banana skin there.

Those passes from Eze were gorgeous. Lovely to watch when he's got confidence. Hope we can unlock a little more of that from him.

16 Feb 2026 09:53:48
His assists were a thing of beauty Wire, so pleased for him 😊.

{Ed025's Note - now thats the way he should be playing all the time Sally. i know it was only Wigan but we know he has that in his locker and when the handbrake is taken off Arsenal can overwhelm teams, lets see more of that i say mate..

I said to Mal on live chat yesterday
That's what happens when you play the ball forward at speed.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely Bill..

Afternoon everone

I thought Noni and saka were electric playing of each other.

Happy 70th birthday Chippy

My favourite player of all time.

That was a stinker, though Brentford played a good game, we were very poor, none of our players deserve more than 5 on 10 for that effort. Except for couple of goal denying tackles, we weren’t up for it. Let’s regroup and have a proper go in the last 12 games!

13 Feb 2026 12:18:59
Eze is really worrying me we bought him to be a difference maker in tight games and when he has had chances he has disappointed!

13 Feb 2026 15:46:34
Yes, he was doing great at Palace and played well in the NLD but last few games when is on the pitch he is almost nonexistent.
Another big worry is where are the goals going to come from, every now and then we manage the odd 3-4 goals in a game but most of the times it is laborious scoring goals.

Still in our hands, keeping the faith in the lads to get us home, somehow.

{Ed025's Note - the thing for me Highbury is that when he was at Palace he was full of craft and guile, taking people on and certainly a goal threat mate, bar from when he scored that hat trick he has looked a bit lost and very laid back to me, now is that because he is not the main man anymore or is it the Arteta factor wanting him to play this tippy tappy pass for the sake of it cringeworthy football?...answers on a postcard..

13 Feb 2026 17:31:25
It’s definitely mix of both Ed mate, his game time has reduced a lot that surely has affected his confidence and the style of play also a factor. I understand we need to be solid and difficult to score against but we sacrifice the other aspect of attacking and scoring free flowing goals too much.

The only fear we put in the opposition is on our set pieces. I keep consoling myself with the thought that it is just to get past the hurdle of not winning the title for decades and once we achieve that we will change tactics for next season.

{Ed025's Note - i think a lot of people are buying into that theory Highbury, for me Leopards dont change their spots mate and everything is about the results with Mikel which is a shame really because you have a lot of great players, now i know that what other teams supporters think is irrelevant but the majority seem to want City to catch you because of your style (or lack of) which is a surprise really seeing what most people think of them..

13 Feb 2026 20:37:50
Players are too confined to tatics they need to be set free to play.

13 Feb 2026 06:33:11
Not surprised we drew, that's what we do i'm afraid, so we are getting into the nitty gritty thought I would look at the remaining fixtures for us and City

I can see 9 wins 2 draws and a defeat giving us 86 pts

City 9 wins and 3 draws giving City 83 points

It's a close run thing but we aren't helping ourselves.

12 Feb 2026 23:41:06
Great set up and a strong point. Well done boss.

Exactly what was needed to settle our nerves and make a statement.

Well, City playing without a hand break and saying over to us.

Let’s see your backbone boss - this is when you earn your corn!

We need a display AND a result tomorrow. COYG.

11 Feb 2026 20:40:17
It is a rollercoaster SY mate!
I know we have to take it game at a time but I can’t help thinking that we must have a six points gap when we visit City, anything less and if we lose that game then it will be hard for us to recover.
Still very confident that it is our year this season, COYG!

11 Feb 2026 21:13:22
Agree mate - we need a cushion but more important than anything. We need to get that handbrake off as a win is better than two draws. The boss who has made us awful to watch has done a great job ensuring we are top, can play the dark arts and are difficult to beat. At some point we need to play like a big club not done one trying to draw from kick off as it could cost us and this is and should be OUR season,
Agree we need the comfort of 6 points - we need to put a big boy big club performance in tomorrow to stick two fingers up at haters and doubters plus for us to kick on.

Frank's gone at Spurs. Never thought he was a great choice for them given his style, but nonetheless, isn't half the team out injured or suspended?

Tottenham have a history of picking managers that are either a terrible choice style-wise, or feel that managing Spurs is a step down (which it is, to be fair) . They really need to recruit smarter.

It looks like a poisoned chalice that Spuds managerial position. Who would come to them in their current situation, though they are in CL knockout there is no guarantee they will go deep in the competition like they somehow managed in the Europa last year.

Looks like a very hard road for them from here but football is a different world, common logic doesn’t apply. We’ll have to wait and see.
