Such a brilliant time watching that replay, very very enjoyable. Where to even begin with that.

Firstly I’ll say that ****ing hell Spurs were inept. What the **** even was that? Vicario time wasting after 3 minutes, seriously? We’ve always had trouble against Thomas Frank at The Emirates, yet the display here this morning was beyond pathetic.

They came for a 0-0 and thankfully were humiliated. Only one team was here to play and Arsenal flicked them aside with ease.

Men versus boys. How they escaped with only 4 goals is a victory in itself for Spurs. 4 open play goals as well. Didn’t even need a set piece this time such was the difference in the two teams. It was embarrassing.

For Arsenal though, what a performance. The tifo was brilliant. Hats off to whoever designed that, glad they got it right after the display pre match against PSG haha. The atmosphere looked amazing and no doubt contributed to Spurs wilting under the spotlight.

Arsenal were right on it from the beginning, and no wonder we scored again so quickly in the second half. The tempo and urgency was all there. Snapping into tackles, the pressing shape, it was next level stuff. This stuff has been years in the making, the level of excellence with coaching and positioning. It is coming together now on a consistent basis.

Arteta and his team deserves immense credit for devising a sustainable system irrespective of who is missing, who is injured, who is starting. We’ve evolved from single points of failure like last season (missing Odegaard or Saka etc) to now having that peak City plug and play style system with high quality players stepping up when the opportunity comes.

Trossard too has elevated this season. I’ve noticed a renewed hunger in him, to do the defensive grunt work, since he received that increase in salary. He has an edge to him now that comes with that sense of recognition within the squad and leadership group. Thank **** Chelsea swooped in for Mudryk!

Declan Rice’s game continues to impress. This kind of work rate and engine I hope we’re able to see in the run in, because there aren’t many in the game that can go with him currently.

Zubimendi’s adaptation to the premier league shouldn’t go unnoticed, particularly when you see other higher profile signings come in with big money price tags elsewhere. Zubimendi plays like he’s been at Arsenal since the start of Arteta’s tenure.

Same with Hincapie. First premier league start? No dramas. Comes in and slots alongside Saliba like they’ve been doing this for years.

It’s Eze’s day though. The look on his face as he’s essentially laughing, that will stay with me for a long time. The first time he’s ever scored a hat trick and he saves it for this match, just ****ing brilliant.

What a blessing to soon have Odegaard back, Gyokeres and Havertz to return, Madueke on as a sub here, Martinelli on the bench. This is next level stuff. Jesus too.

6 points clear now with Bayern mid week and away to Chelsea next weekend. Even rotating 3-4 changes against Bayern still sees the likes of Mosquera, Martinelli, MLS, White start. And I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid to see any of these names in a starting lineup.

The things we could do depending on the match state, Odegaard and Eze or perhaps in midfield? That goal threat from Eze is a serious weapon, he threatened to blow Newcastle away with that a few matches ago however was kept out by Pope. Today he should’ve had 4-5, with his ball striking he can make something happen out of nothing.

What a time to be alive for Arsenal. This is ****ing amazing.

I actually typed Eze! My auto correct did its thing and I failed to manually adjust it. So yep that’s on me, it doesn’t count now I know but hopefully I get half a point at least (please?) :D

The tifo and most of the other active supporting elements we've seen in recent years comes from a group called Ashburton Army. I wouldn't go as far as to call them 'Ultras' but they're the closest thing we've got to them.


They did a gofundme for this tifo a few months ago, I donated $10 and didn't expect too much but I was blown away when I saw it.

They also had a tifo organised for the PSG game but the club blocked it (presume it was a bit too full on for the clubs liking) so the club put on that tragic display instead.
