  5. Disallowing West Ham's goal the right decision - Webb bbc.com/sport/football/article Disallowing West Ham's last-ditch equaliser against Arsenal on Sunday was the right decision, referees' chief Howard Webb says. #AFC #Gunners

  6. RE: sportsbots.xyz/users/henrywint

    ...fears about White being out now confirmed. Big call for Arteta on who plays against Kvaretskhelia in UCL final. Presumably Mosquera. And big call for Tuchel on whether he recalls Alexander-Arnold. How many other major countries would leave such a talent behind? #AFC #ENG

  7. White out for season and set to miss World Cup bbc.com/sport/football/article Arsenal and England defender Ben White is set to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. #AFC #Gunners

  9. ...the criticism that Manchester United received during the Ferguson era was relentless. Chelsea, Blackburn, and other champions have had it. We're also in the age of social media where everyone has a platform to voice their approval/disapproval. #AFC 2/2 open.substack.com/pub/henrywin

  10. Top teams are loved and loathed. There is plenty to like about Arsenal - Saka, Rice, academy, resilience - but also plenty that annoys/angers rival fans. It's always been like this. Stand up for/to the champions. (And they've not even won it yet). #AFC 1/2

  11. A lot of people seem to hate #Arsenal, they get more angry over a foul preventing a goal than they do about City's 115 charges remaining undecided for years

  21. Five fouls in one move - breaking down Premier League corner chaos bbc.com/sport/football/article The Premier League season has been defined by set-piece drama. It came to a head at West Ham on Sunday, when the VAR could have penalised any one of four fouls. #AFC #Gunners

  22. Beth Mead will leave Arsenal at the end of the season when her contract expires.

    Mead has made 265 appearances and scored 86 goals across nine seasons with Arsenal. She has won one #UWCL, one WSL title, three League Cups and one FIFA Champions Cup.

    Manchester City are in advanced talks to sign Mead this summer.

    🗣️ #AFC Director of Women’s Football Clare Wheatley: "Beth has made a huge contribution to our football club over nine years, and will go down in history as one of our best forwards and a legend of the club.

    "Beth is such a special person and will always be welcome at Arsenal. I know our supporters will join me in wishing Beth happiness and success in her future endeavours."

  23. Is the title race over? bbc.com/sport/football/videos/ Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy says the title race is over after Arsenal's win against West Ham. #AFC #Gunners

  24. 'I knew it was going to be disallowed' bbc.com/sport/football/videos/ Wayne Rooney says VAR is consistent with fouls against goalkeepers, but doesn't like that they have a 'big advantage' over outfield players. #AFC #Gunners

  25. Will Arsenal be worthy champions if they get over the line? There is plenty of criticism of Arsenal's football, the set-piece arts/dark arts, the antics of Arteta in the technical area, and triumphalism of some fans such as the one with that presumptuous “champions” shirt. Throw in the usual club tribalism and that season-defining VAR decision (correct call but officials inconsistent in punishing grappling this season) and there’s plenty of antipathy towards Arsenal.

    But it is a truism universally acknowledged that the team that finish top first are worthy champions. It’s a marathon of 38 sprints and Arsenal have demonstrated the required ability, character and stamina. They have had their mentality questioned all season (and before). From Raya to Rice, Gabriel to Gyokeres, all of the squad have shown resilience. Battlers, not bottlers. Rice in particular embodies their will to win.

    It’s good to see a club keeping faith in a talented manager during the near-misses; keeping financial balance (top with fourth largest wage bill); and building a squad so that hugely capable players can come off the bench and make a big difference as Odegaard did against West Ham. And isn’t it more refreshing to see a range of champions (if they do hold on)? Five different clubs have been champions since Arsenal in 2004.

    It’s also important to see a club committed to their academy, creating a pathway for Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman and others, and giving them a chance to shine; it’s good for sustainability, culture and connection with fans. It’s encouraging to see a club working with fans to improve atmosphere (tifos, coach greets). 

    Off-field, too. All clubs have vital community departments; Arsenal in the Community is widely acknowledged as the oldest and one of the most impactful at home and abroad with around 100 full-time and part-time staff. There is much good about Arsenal. If they do hold on, Arsenal will be worthy champions on and off the pitch. #AFC
