I wonder where Spurs would be if they had Maupay or Martial up front instead of Kane. Relegation battle?

Spurs getting back into it, but Romero doing his best to get sent off

Spurs are a bizarre team. Dreadful in 1st half, at least put up a decent fight in second. It is almost as if they turn up to the stadium 3 mins before kick off, already in their kit, and go straight out to play. They then need half time to discuss tactics.

Often stay tuned to watch analysis after on Sky. However, I'm just not feeling it today, with Merson and Redknapp

North London is Red :)

Cracking 1st half, Oedegaard and Saka again so good , more nervy 2nd half but defended OK and Ramsdales best game for Arsenal

Another one ticked off

This weekend has been huge for Arsenal

Yes there is a lot of football ahead but they are in a roll

Tough to see City catch up to them and they are the only team equipped to do it

Baring any major injury issues then Arsenal have such a huge opportunity to win the title

Not nice to see Ramsdale get kicked by a Spurs fan at the end. Interesting thing was that there were Marshals right next to him, and instead of grabbing him and reporting to police, they let him run back up the stand. Maybe they don't have the authority or training?

Think we accept there are going to be more injuries, its who and when that may well decide whether we last the course. Quality level drops off massively in a handful of spots especially midfield/going forward, albeit Nketiah has stepped up massively and hopefully others will when required. Smith Rowe coming back a plus too

Be interesting to see whether any reinforcements come in after we missed out on our main focus

Massive win, great all round controlled performance. Rode our luck a bit in second half but Ramsdale superb. That Richarlison is nasty a piece of work.

The idiot will get a lifetime ban, he’ll be identified by cctv.
No idea why the stewards couldn’t hold him

It’s not a surprise to see Richarlinson fully involved in it - he should have got a red for putting his hand into Ramsdale’s face

Narrative at the time on Arsenal message boards about British keepers not being up to scratch, Ramsdale not being good enough etc etc


Which message boards? Nationality nothing to do with it, more a case that a lot of Arsenal fans rated Leno (and plenty still do and his stats still as good as Ramsdales since going to Fulham) and we paid a fortune for Ramsdale when we needed strengthening elsewhere
