      Said this for the past couple years – he's one of the best players in that position in the world. Can pretty much walk into any team. Had a debate about him and kalvin phillips with somebody before 🤣

      Arsenal are indeed "the real deal". Arteta has been given time & finances to design & create a team in HIS OWN image. Only question now is how much depth do they have.

      let’s put it this way, if city were Haaland-less Arsenal could’ve won, but since that’s not the case we ain’t getting that trophy for a while tbh

      Arsenal’s forward movement all comes thru Partey. the Spurs game and just showed it clearly. When he’s there, arsenal play really really well and confidently too. Can’t wait till Elneny comes back too

      Pundits here are confused — they praise us and yet they say we aren’t the real deal 😂. Good for ESPN. Shaking my head!! COYG

      Without Thomas Partey, you just have to discount at least 30 percent of their strength. He is their most important player in their midfield.

      The way these biased pundits talk about Arsenals history make me feel I did watch the same team they watched in the past. Arsenal bounces back from defeat just like any other teams.

      Credit to the Gunners for taking advantage of opportunities. And bouncing right after the UTD. lose. I'm UTD fan but these the English kids look good going into 🌎 🍵. 👍⚽🥂🇬🇧🌺🚷

      Burley? Gritted teeth time has arrived ; must hav hurt him t say them few upbuilding comments bout Arsenal; u heard it all here 1st cos he probably won't be repeating them any time soon ( well not until he's had a few drinks).

      I think ive just woke up in the Twighlight Zone cos i never ever thought I'd eva agree with sourpuss Burley but as regards Partey; I couldn't of put it better myself; the guys a beast, the engine of the team (well, atleast t me)cos on his day,the way he drives forward makes him a dam (blocking out the opposition), yes, he's definitely a force t b reckoned with.
      Just unlock the man an c him flow; hoping he stays injury-free for much of season, not only f the team but his own self confidence aswell.
      Let's just try and keep it going as long as possible cos ultimately its been r consistency (or lack there-of)thats hurt us in previous campaigns.

      Injury is what i'm concerned about. Partey was out for 2/3rds of last season and we were stuck without him (and Tomi and Tierney). I want to see how Arsenal handles the World Cup, and injuries before and after that.
