If he continues like this...England? Seems mad to even type it.

Inching closer. To think a week or so ago that goal difference was reversed and we were chasing. Villa are a bit of a bogey team. The weekend will be tough. We have given ourselves room. Have to just keep grinding a bit longer. Amazing performance lads

Didn't seem in doubt the minute he picked up the ball. Take a bow Harvey.

The thought of his contract being renewed is nightmare fuel. We need to be ruthless here. His injury problems aren't going to get better. Likely worse. We need that wage space to bring more younger quality in.

It's a harsh lesson for Gordon. He did it to himself though. He should have to sit right now with Barnes and Murphy on form. It's not like he won't get decent minutes off the bench but I think Barnes deserves the start right now. That said, with the short turn around in time with matches Eddie might want to freshen things up o Wednesday or the weekend for fitness reasons.

At his best today again. The strength on the ball is mad. We really have the best Central midfield in the league.

Absolute beast mode today. Another 10m on his price tag to put off suitors.

Absolute killer. Almost forgot we have Hall to come back in! Shahar pushing hard too.

The shot of Butt inbetween Shearer and Ginola was class!

Gordon nowhere in sight lol you would think Tonali was the sub! Great victory. CL firmly in our hands. Let's keep it going!

Yikes. Take care of yourself Eddie.

Absolutely massive for us. Best thing Arsenal have ever done for us. Hope we can maintain and secure top 5 now.

2 goals 2 assists and won a penalty. Great to see it finally clicking for him here. Hopefully a step up in due course isn't too far for him.

Bit of a missed opportunity to run down our goal difference gap. Hopefully we can do the same at the weekend. Murph is magic. Very happy for him.

Its been a weird season Cup win and scouse fan/club reaction has essentially vanquished the demons of my Liverpool hatred. For now at least. Villa have been feeling similar teething pains to us, after treading the same CL path and squad/PSR restrictions we did. I'm unlikely to ever drop my Lee Dixon inspired Arsenal hatred but Manure aside I've lost a ton of my anger to clubs. Palace don't bother me, they are below us.

I read the quotes more that Longstaff is likely seeking an exit knowing his starting days are largely numbered here. I'm ok with him leaving and wish him the best but how many academy home grown do we have that we could put in to help the European quota? Gillespie and Miley count. But I suppose maybe adding Sean Neave/Ben Parkinson/Anthony Munda would get around it too? They first two have been in the first team squads and Munda has been tipped for a while to break through.

Well we truly rode our fucking luck there. Great and incredibly important win that. Hopefully we sharpen up a bit so we don't make things so bloody difficult and stressful lol

He looks up and body shape like he tried a pop.

He's not meant that.. ..has he...

Cant get too annoyed. We know we aren't there yet. Hence the wastefulness upfront, switch off and mistakes at the back. DM don't always help either. When we upgrade to fix those areas we will be a top 4 side consistently. We have seen and known that for a while. We are just in a frustrating "nearly there" phase.

Break neck game. Some absolutely stunning movement and free flowing attacking from us at times. No surprises we lack a bit of killer instinct and mess up the last pass too often but we are also creating enough players (Isak) is bound to score eventually. Just have to keep it tighter in defensive midfield and watch the Brentford breaks. Class half for the neutral.

Just came in to post that. Sanusi getting injured might have salvaged his career. He desperately needs a solid loan move though to get minutes he needs to continue improving.

We have reportedly scouted him and he's keen on coming. One to watch for sure.
