Scotland pretty dire -v- Japan.

Poch will be back at Spurs next season. Belgium giving USA a hiding in their friendly. Pulisic invisible.

Is Madueke’s knee brace fake?

Madueke makes little difference; he was a really strange signing as he needs space to operate and Arsenal plays with a very high line. Read that he wants to play more, but I don't see that ever happening at Arsenal.

Rice and Saka would be a different story tho.

For me their recent drop in form was linked to Odegaard's absence and poor form earlier: he makes them tick.

Just imagine the thought of having to bring in a "relegation specialist" ...Spuds are a truly dismal outfit. 2025/26 will be a memorable season regardless of the outcome. Absolute sh*thousery of the highest order.😂

Xavi Simons & Conor Gallagher probably can hardly believe what they have bought into.

All of Arsenal's internationals have "injuries".

They will all be back in the squad next Prem game.

Frankly embarrassing!

New Manager Bounce will probably be enough to keep them up. Given there are 3 teams in danger, a couple of wins may be all they need

Only for Arteta to play the worst winning football ever.

On the Spuds note, they only need 3 wins to stay up, manageable if they don't all lose their collective sh't

And a one-trick pony. Hold the ball, wait for the oppo to press, play through them. It worked at Brighton for a while until it didn't anymore and he refused to change.

It's allowed to continue while a valid medical certificate is all that's required to justify withdrawal.
