    @junior I saw the 89 Cup Final including the last 20 minutes of the game and all of extra time from pitch side (i was in charge of stewards and we went onto the ground to prevent any crowd incurions). Watching Barnes taking a corner from no more than 3 metres away is a memory I will have forever. Along with how small football players are / were.

    Currently losing to the bottom placed team in the premier league is an A-level choke. It’s all over for arsenal you’d think.

    Then again….

    @Billy-Tell Hardly a choke. Man City is simply a better team and could run the table with wins. Is there a game you foresee them losing?

    They will beat Arsenal by at least 3 when they play next and will win the title. Heck they would win without Haarland.

    That won't make it feel any better, feeling like they had a chance to win only to fall in the final run home

    @canefan True but we know who the best team is and Arsenal had to win out and beat City at home. Was never going to happen. For this team 2nd is pretty good but they need more in the midfield and defense to make an impression next year.

    I know it's the lower leagues, but Wrexham are poised to return to the football league after years in the wilderness. I'm looking forward to Welcome to Wrexham series 2

    Oh well, Arsenal will have to add the Etihad to the list of other stadium (Anfield, WHL, Old Trafford) where they've won the PL.

    You can't give up soft goals by losing possession in your own half against any team. A great comeback but the last two games have been about not converting goal-scoring opportunities.

    Not getting 3 points at home to Southampton is a complete choke. What are you smoking?

    @Billy-Tell Yes not a good result at home but I stand by my point the Man City is the best team and would win despite the result today. What are you smoking? Is City the best team and if your were a betting man who would you bet on? I am an Arsenal fan but can see the limitations of this team.

    Arsenal who were leading comfortably have now have had 3 consecutive draws. 2 after leading 2-0 and last night scoring two late goals to salvage a draw at home against the worst side on the league. That is choking. Losing to city at city is to be expected. But if they had won the last 3 games they could afford that loss.

    @Billy-Tell Choking or exposing their weaknesses as a season has progressed and highlighting the depth and experience of a team like Man City. Arsenal are a very young team.

    Just watching the game and unless Tierney was injured how the hell is Zinchenko picked over him? He is a defensive liability. Sloppy seconds from Chelsea right?

    Ramsdale's error was bad and I get a sense he is a little rattled and a change might be good. He has not looked poised recently. Arteta won't make a change though.

    All in all it will be a good season for Arsenal and will be interesting who they can bring in next year to solidify the defense and midfield. Xhaka and Partey type players with some starch. We have enough playmaker types.

    @KiwiPie well at least they're openly supporting Notts County for the other spot!

    Hammers smash Bournemouth overnight which has me a bit nervous. Was expecting a point to be honest given recent form. Haven't seen the game but down 0-2 after 12 minutes probably did it. I hope that pulls their head in for the Southampton match up next.

    I don't understand the hate towards Wrexham. Having rich owners is how you succeed in modern football.

    @KiwiMurph not to mention they seem genuinely invested in the team too.

    @bayimports If we had secured top spot, I would be supporting Wrexham for the play-offs as well. We're certain to lose our 2 best players to higher leagues at the end of the summer so we do need this promotion to attract some top replacements.

    Saw the brief headlines of the Bournemouth game and it looked like set pieces and free headers and game over. Hammers pretty much safe now and able to concentrate on Europe. Bournemouth safe if they beat Saints I reckon.

    Do we think Ryan Reynolds could be convinced to buy the All Blacks… 🙂
