A few people have asked if my son has a name yet, so here is something of an explanation. 🧵 Our baby was originally due to be born on March 19th, the day Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 4-1. And yes, I did still go to the game. In the end, however, baby arrived quite late…

They’re not bottlers. They’re not weak. They’re a young team, early in their development, doing brilliant things. Every fan wants to support a team like this. Hard to remember when the pressure is on, but have to enjoy it. This is a season we’ll talk about for a long long time.

Thought Nketiah, Saka, and Elneny did really well tonight. But for me, Xhaka was Arsenal’s most important player. He was in constant dialogue with Arteta, a coach on the pitch. When he is good he is very very good.

I think there’s a good case for that being the best result of this excellent Arsenal season. Results away at Spurs & NUFC show have far this team has come in such a short space of time. They’re making City really work for the league. Very proud of Arsenal, title or no title.

I think Arsenal deserve more credit for how they've coped without Gabriel Jesus. They've now had 14 league games with him, TWELVE without. Yet remain 5 points clear. To have kept their Premier League lead, without the main striker & key summer signing, is seriously impressive.

🤔 “Surely Ramsdale has a bit more responsibility around a moment like that?” 🤦‍♂️ “Arsenal won at Tottenham, and he turns around and kisses the shirt!” Jim White questions if Aaron Ramsdale shares some of the blame for stoking the fire after #AFC ’s win over #THFC .

It’s a really good goal this, especially considering the pressure of the moment. 93 mins! Early vertical passes from Ramsdale and especially Jorginho key to the move. Then Arsenal show patience to find the shooting opportunity on the edge of the box.

Completely understand questions over why Saka took the 5th penalty. I was shocked. But as Arsenal fans, we also know why: because he is that good, & because he’s utterly fearless. It takes a special player & a special person to carry this burden. Fortunately, Saka is just that.
