  2. Best manager in the Premier league as far as handling the media and press with their clickbait questions. Pure class. For his 1st managerial job he's doing great. He will go down as one of the best managers ever over the next few decades, with or without Arsenal. Super professional. Excellent in front of the media. Peps student will beat his master. I pray the Arsenal board give him as long as they did with Arsene Wenger. 🙏 ❤

  3. Бажаю Арсеналу все в цьому році забрати, якщо чесно заслужили 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

  6. In the era of Patrick Vieira and Martin Keown, Arsenal was famous for winning the "mental battle" before the game even began. By standing tall and refusing to look away in the tunnel, they sent a message that the game would be a physical war, often making the opponent lose focus before the first kick.

  7. Not being British, ICGAS about the Carabao Cup, however Champions, EPL are 110% important pieces of silverware and NOT being 2nd yet again. The questions about Gyokeres are quite stupid by the reporters. Unless you're Amorim and on your way OUT the door at Man U. after making exceuses for over a year for why your very expensive team is NOT winning, you DON'T ask any decent coach if he has "Faith" in any player! As far as reported, management wanted Gyokeres & Gyokeres WANTED to come to Arsenal for the right price! And he's turned out much better than Sesko has this season even though reportedly Arteta preferred Sesko betweenn the 2 strikers. Sesko has turned out NOT to be a huge impact player. Gyokeres has saved his best performances for two very big derby games AND he has outscored Sesko. Arsenal is NOT built around Gyokeres or a traditional #9 and more around the wings and overlaps/playing forward and crashing the box. And Gyokeres has shown NO EGO to his credit about not being a starter, or even playing major minutes every game. It's a TEAM sport, Sesko went to the right team. Man U IS a team with a bunch of individual egos, NOT the team/method that Arteta has attempted to build ever since he arrived. Odegaard is the Captain, Arteta IS the Gaffer, deservedly so. PEP is still the BEST coach in the EPL though.

  8. It’s been five long years without a win against Arsenal, and every fan has felt the weight of that. But Sunday is more than just another match — it’s a chance to change the story, to fight for the badge, and to give the supporters a moment we’ve been waiting for.

    Play with heart. Play with pride. Leave everything on the pitch. We believe in your strength, your teamwork, and your spirit. This is your moment to stand up, show character, and bring the victory home.

    No excuses, no fear just passion and determination.

    Come on Chelsea, make us proud and get the win! 🔵⚽
