Arsenal fan since '99
When I'm not tweeting you can usually find me on a podcast somewhere. I've been an unapologetic truster of the process which may finally pay dividends. Oh, and I'm doing a PhD in sports psychology.

Saka's fitness...
I absolutely love to see Saka doing his thing at the highest level but I can't pretend I'm not slightly concerned with his fitness. He's clearly been playing through injury for a while now and it seems no different at the World Cup. Fortunately Tuchel seems to be taking care of him but once this is over I'd like to see him get a lengthy rest to resolve the issue. We can't afford to make things worse.

Thoughts on Arsenal's opening fixtures...
Seems like these will be the opening 3 fixtures for Arsenal next season. It's nice to open the season as Champions with an easier game against Coventry before getting some tricky games out the way early. I'd much rather they come before we start playing 3 times a week! What do you think?

Barcola off the cards?
I personally favour the idea of having someone a little more comfortable on the outside than Rogers but if Barcola is off the cards and Diomande is going to cost more than £100m then I'm starting to see the appeal. Prem proven, versatile, great injury record and genuinely a top player. I absolutely wouldn't complain if we signed him.

One of the best goalkeepers in the world... on the bench?
Genuinely can't understand de la Fuente's continued selection of Unai Simon ahead of David Raya. The latter was one of the best in the world this season and almost won us the double with his heroics at times. Spain's loss!

Vinicius to Arsenal?
I've seen a lot of reports speculating on Vini Jr's future at Madrid. Given that we're in such desperate need is he someone people would be willing to look towards. There's questions about his mental profile but the quality is there for everyone to see... 🤔

Saka's injury woes
Gutting to see that Saka's workload still has to be managed despite him being fit enough to play in the World Cup. I'm absolutely convinced that we should give him extended time off next season to recover and avoid worsening what he's already carrying. Put him in a cryo chamber and let him out during the 2027 title and UCL run in...

Arsenal players in the POTY
Delighted to see our boys continue to be at the forefront of these rewards where they belong. Bruno Fernandes undeniably had a tremendous season but I personally feel the amount of added physical and emotional pressure the Arsenal players were put under means it has to go to one of ours. We played almost 50% more games in all competitions. For me, Declan Rice is the man that made the difference this season and I'd love to see him holding onto that PFA trophy when the ceremony comes around in August.

Jeremy Monga to Arsenal?
Really excited to see the Monga to Arsenal links hotting up today. Dynasties are built on forward planning and he's one of the best young players out there. Electric dribbler who can go either way with shades of Doku and Dembele to his game. I don't expect him to impact the first team too much next season but his potential is limitless. Exciting start to the summer.

Saliba deserves his flowers!
I'm glad to see both Gabriel and Raya in the team of the season defence but the continued omission of Saliba in these conversations is wrong. Our defence has been far and away the best in the UCL this season and he's been a big part of that. When on the pitch together, Gabriel & Saliba haven't conceded an open-play UCL goal since April 2024!

Champions League Final Lineup
Our XI for the Champions League final. Huge game for Mosquera who has grown into his role since coming into this team. Unbelievable end to the season for Myles Lewis-Skelly who has thoroughly deserved his starting place. Havertz ahead of Gyokeres who can finish the game and be on the pitch for penalties. Now it's down to what we do on the pitch. Win.

This is the current image displayed over Budapest Keleti, the train station closest to the Puskas Arena. It's all starting to feel a bit real now...

Lewis-Skelly on the overlap
I can’t help but be so impressed every time I hear him speak. Our academy nurtures youngsters so well (as we saw in all or nothing) but MLS especially articulates himself immaculately. So excited for what the future has to bring for him.

Mikel Merino is back!
Great to see this man back in training after such a frustrating time out with injury. I can't see him starting either of the remaining games but he's such a valuable asset to have off the bench. His ability to enter the box late just at the right time could be vital against PSG if we're chasing the game. I hope it's not the case but if we do, we'll have a lot of firepower to bring on for once!

Trust the process!
These guys have been there from the very beginning and took responsibility to drag this club back to where we belong. Legends of this football club.

1 game to go.
My initial instinct was that yesterday wasn't 'vintage' Arsenal by any stretch but I feel that feeling is misplaced. Yesterday summed up our season in one. We huffed and puffed to go ahead which eventually came through a set piece and then squeezed the life out of the game. It's horribly nervous to watch as a fan but the truth is we conceded 0.06 xG in the 2nd half and no shots after the 57th. The pressure on this team is immense and right now it's get over the line by any means. 2 games to go to make history. These players deserve it.
