Credit where it’s due, the ref has been good this first half.

Apart from not booking Martinelli, seemingly because it was too early.

Ik not watching it, but listening to commentary sounds like Arsenal are 4 up and have already won?

Five live very measured. They are saying we are in cruise control.

Not even with that Ødegaard shot just before our goal? 

 

Had it fallen to Jacob Murphy I would have been nervous, but not some never-was like Odegaard.

[TRon]

Isak has put the fear of God up them. Criminal he hasn't scored in this one. Yet.

Weird because id be the first to say that Burn has been immense this season but when you watch Botman, you immediately realise what class looks like. He's just different gravy.

Burn's a Land Rover Botman's a Rolls Royce 

[Fak]

Trippier doing everything Simeone taught him. 

[Jimburst]

Been absolutely SHITTING IT all game lol. My heart is going like the clappers.

[Beren]

Great half.

They're right.

[Holloway]

Ludicrous how Arsenal have been labelled set piece merchants, we haven't been able to get anywhere near them. Hope the 2nd half doesn't go like the last 30mins at PSG.

Goes without saying the score is delightful

[Willow]

Botman has been outstanding

 

Also, I wish that Isak goal counted, what a belter that was

[El Prontonise]

World feed > sky's shite

 

[Sibierski]

Sloppy with ball in that half, but can’t fault the shape, energy and being clinical. Essentially had two chances, scored 2.

 

The subs going to be so huge in 2nd half. Gordon will be fucked soon, so that change will be key. Probably can see Longstaff / Willock on for Gordon / Murphy around 60 mark, then Isak a cone up top as he’s fucked  Would like to see Osula if that happens for his raw pace.

[Aiston]

Wish Isak and Gordon taking up the space the Arsenal fullbacks leave when going forward, Osula or Willock could be very useful doing the same later in the game when Gordon or Isak are knackered.

[Ikon]

Very happy with that. Didn’t sit back too much in the beginning. Just wish we had a slight bit more composure at times. We give the ball away too easily quite often in general.

I heard the commentators dropping in the obligatory "Isak is exactly what Arsenal are missing" bollocks, the media really are pushing for us to sell to the London wanks aren't they!

Same here, the missis decide to have a kip on the sofa… what was she thinking 😂😂

[54]

We're 3-0 up, and yet i'm a bag of nerves. Who said being good was fun? My heart rate much preferred it when I was apathetic and games didn't matter  

[samptime29]

Ref has been good tbf. We have played well, Arsenal look decent on the ball, but our shape looks solid and Isak has them rattled when he has the ball.

Haven't been nervous one bit, great team performance.

Aye, Howe has Arteta in his pocket.

[Yorkie]

Sky comms has been so shite. We're basically Isak FC if you ask them.

[Mattoon]

Got to say I've felt very relaxed watching this, Arsenal just can't get sight of goal against us, can't see them scoring 1 never mind the 4 they need to win it.
