Puts our results and performances in a slightly better and more favourable light.

I’ve been reading a lot from other fans that Brentford and West Ham are potentially the worst teams in the league (away from home at least) and so not to read anything into what we’ve done.

That West Ham result may cause some reconsideration.

Definitely not Brentford. No team in the premier league has won more away points than them in 2025.

A Villa and Palace draw drops them in the bottom 3 tonight. Any other result and they’ll stay 4th bottom.

Arsenal side and bench is absolutely superb.

The cover and the balance of the cover is actually quite staggering, bar up top.

They get a reliable second striker then it’s hard to look past them.

The Eze signing is the one that makes them title favourites now imo. The Liverpool attack is excellent but they don't have the right balance. Arsenal even have different types of full back these days depending on the type of game.

They've gone for the 4 big lads today with Merino in midfield as well. They're going to be physical.

Eze is a totally perfect signing for him.

Brilliant player, unique v what they had, and the lads dream to play there so he be all in.

He will be one of the signings of the season.

I notice the VAR official from the Fulham game been "dropped ".

What I never understand is why the ref just didn't say no to the VAR as he had made the on field decision

Honestly, I think now a lot of officials wait for VAR to keep them right, even if VAR is wrong. Take yesterday and the offside for Brentfords' goal. Me and everyone around me in the East Stand could see he was a mile off, but no flag. Ok if it was as marginal, but it was clear he was offside, there was no reason not to flag and aren't they supposed to have semi automated offside this season? Yet he was able to run virtually the full half and put the ball in the net before 2-3 minute stoppage for a VAR check to rule it out. Christ, the player even looked back after putting it in the net to check for a flag as he ran off to celebrate. To me either the linesman wasn't watching so didn't flag or wasn't sure and let VAR make the decision for him. Add onto that, why was the delay so long when a simple check straight away should have sorted it in less than 15 seconds? The cynic in me says it's because the linesman screwed up, so the VAR check took time to make it look like it wasn't as clear cut as it was to save face for the linesman.

I sat yesterday after that goal wondering why they bother with linesman! They just leave the decision to VAR anyway ffs!
