I’m going to say what we’re all thinking.
Eddie Nketiah is the best English striker with a five letter first name with double letters in the middle.
Ah taking relegation fodder to the cleaners, I love that. Gotta get that GD looking good
r/Gunners has pre-made apology forms if you want to fill one out. Jk. Gunners hate on Nketiah more than r/soccer
i hope now that arsenal has a great striker in nketiah, i hope they let go of jesus ,who is cleary not good enogh for arsenal aspirations !
jesus is trash let him downgrade back to brazil!
back to palmeirasI know eddie will get all the plaudits, and rightly so, but Declan Rice, game after game, week after week. What a player, man.
Saliba looked like a pro player subbing for in a sunday league game today too. Sheffield United were awful, he barely even had to jog. You know you’re in the mud when the human victory hookah elneny gets a little 10 minute cameo.
EDDIE!!!
Conceding almost 3 goals a game on average now. Not great.
Eddie stunting on these hoes, you love to see it
I know the “will it be worse than Derby’s point total” is overused, but… man
The trick to not allowing a goal from the opponents first shot on target is not giving them a shot on target

Eddie hattrick. Tomi’s first goal. Vieira being Vieira. Smith Rowe AND Elneny assists. Kiwior being a rock at the back. Millimetres off the perfect game!
Only a Havertz goal away from true perfection :(
To be fair to Havertz, he was out there battling today. More spirited performance from him than any I’ve seen so far. Hopefully a sign of things to come!
Good to finally see he can put in a solid shift against a spirited team. If he keeps this up he might even contribute a goal or an assist this season!
I know it’s Sheffield, but I’m so happy for Eddie and Tomi!

Despite so many injuries, and key players resting, Arsenal’s looks formidable. This season, Arsenal have the depth to go all the way through.
Love to see Tomiyasu getting a goal as well. He’s done really well after battling his injury troubles
