Hope Brailsford's teaching them some effective micro-doping techniques, oh sorry "marginal gains".

Anderson is ready brother.

Howe has to bookie's favourite for the sack after this surely?

Great business for £12 million, solid, rock steady professional. Ashworth had to have been involved in January via encrypted carrier pigeon.

Spanish do better doping, ask Fuentes.

Konate's asthma must be off the charts.

There's a ton of nothing English midfielders who fit that criteria.

Harry Winks being the current "25m rated" water carrier. They're all nothing players.

What on earth are we doing. Totally lost our control since the Wood sub.

ASM is important to the way we play. Go figure...

Didn't realise Turf Moor was actually Highbury.

ASM getting all the assists when surrounded by better players 

Not out of first gear here, Burnley create shite games, need to wait for them to get desperate and get some 2v1 counters late to tie it up.

Coming for Man U's spot next season.

Burnley's atmosphere is horrific, too busy counting their Brexit dividends to sing.

Shame Everton won their last game really...

2-0 Arse.

Arsenal should have a pen there. Iwobi handball.

Joelinton casually tasked with marking two players. What a guy.

Saka. Watched him up close lately, a lot of the stuff he tries doesn't come off. He's a talent but not near the mark yet and I think he might fade to upper echelon mediocrity

He's played an outrageous amount of football the last two years, never being rotated out as Pepe has shat the bed, think he's gassed to be honest and was much better earlier in the season.

If Trippier is marauding on the other side I see no problem having him, a less offensively minded full back, starting on the left. Plus if ASM is ahead of him, then that solidity is exactly what we should be looking for. Depends what Howe wants to do tactically really, if we're lining up next season with Targett I'd be happy, binning off Ritchie, maybe Lewis as backup and Dummett can be the 25th man at a push.

Any pundit or journalist trying to give Arsenal injuries as an excuse must be off their rocker. That was their strongest starting XI minus two players

To be fair, Tomiyasu, White and Gabriel were tonight or recently coming back from injury. No excuse, but context. They got wrecked by our press.

Something something 'lacks athleticism' something. 

You can see he doesn't have that top line acceleration or speed but it's all a moot point when he has game sense, intelligence, stamina and an almighty set of testicles.

Finally, Howe's on.

Arsenal messed up in January, they never had the depth or supplemented their youth and players like Saka have been running on fumes for weeks. Their entire defence being half fit doesn't help either.

Just now, Aiston said:

A bit better tonight.

 

Still piss poor decision making mind, but at least he made the right one in the run up to the first goal!

Down with this sort of thing.

Thorough dicking here, Arsenal look like they're fighting for 13th, horrific performance.
