I know you’ve had it rough this season.
We’ve been through some hard times together.
It’s been disappointing.
… but the end is nigh.
So instead of a big match preview about how amazing it would be to down Troy Deeney today, why don’t we make this a farewell post to an average season, written by you?
Share your hopes, dreams, and even those ‘OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED’ moments just so you can vent. Let’s leave it all behind us.
Today is about getting over the pain. Admitting that it was shit this year, and maybe opening the door for a hopeful Premier League next season.
Before I hand the keys over, I just want to say thank you for your dedicated support this year. I’ve been to some dark places this year, so know this… nothing makes me happier than knowing that no matter how bad it gets, there’s always someone waiting in the comments section ready to call me an oatmilk drinking whopper who doesn’t know shit about football. I love you all. You make this supporting Arsenal malarkey a lot more fun than it should be. Thank you.
So go on… this post is for you, let it all out, no one here is going to judge those tears (they will).

Anyone with a decent stream?
AMN sobered up only for Holding to then be on the pipe…playing like a crackhead so far.
Would be interested to see a combo of Ceballos-Grealish in midfield. Ceballos a bit deeper but moments where Grealish hangs back and allows to Ceballos to venture forward as an element of surprise. Obviously a Partey-type mid at the base.
Azed no idea sorry… watching this match on the Golf Channel of all things.
Why all the hate for Deeney? He only said what we were all thinking.
Good Pepe just take the ball out of danger and get fouled – keep doing that
“Anyone with a decent stream?”
Things will turn around for you.
Hang in there!
Why is Willock playing as a 10 !?
Arteta cannot resist shoehorning him in any position.
This cannot continue next season. Willock doesn’t have any notable quality. He’s the quintessential bits-and-pieces players. Sticking him in every lineup is a bad habit which will be Arteta’s undoing unless he stops doing it
Cranberry sauce is supposed to be good for that.
yes@!!!!!
Love that Pepe inswinger
Good goal!!
2-0
Ceballos too slow on the ball
Juice not sauce.
Want auba to get that golden boot!
Yes!!! NIce to see Tierney get his first… sweet. Really like the way he plays.
KT
I love him.
How’s things cutter?
Will Hughes wants to stay out of the sun.
Good lad this Tierney
We punishing them on the counter…
Against the Chavs we must park the bus and do this again…. its our only way to score these days!
Get in there Tierney, great signing, great player.
Arteta fuming
Easy enough goal.
The way the game is set with Watford chasing so early seems to suit Arsenal.
Could see a few more Arsenal goals today.
KT needs a statue too.
Was about to say we’re dragging our heels a bit and not passing the ball quick enough. Should free us up now to move the ball.
Not looking great for Watford. Sarr, Doucoure, Deulofeu aren’t championship players.
Fair play to Deeney there
That was an own goal.
Auba needs 2 more to get joint top scorer, cmon, gun them down
We can rest a few players in the 2nd half
I don’t think that we play 4-3-3, looks more like a 4-2-3-1. With Willock in the middle not really playing a regukar 10, dropping in the middle to help the two when we don’t have the ball and driving forward when we have the ball.
There’s a Deeney whack. A little late, but still.
Deeney’s knee was up.
Jamie
I don’t disagree …
Looks like Matthew smith will get his debut today .
Why Laca didn’t shoot?
Bergkamp esque first touch, Giroud esque second touch 🤦
No point in crossing.
Love the explosive pace of Sarr
Dawson is very much a championship player
Anyone thinks Sarr visibly improves in his first season ? Looks slight. Bigger but same it seems.
We got Madrid Ceballos under Emery and Freddie but we’re getting Betis Ceballos under Mikel that’s for sure
Ceballos showing his class under the press again.
BOOM!
Willock not doing it for me as the spare midfielder, looks to make runs in behind a lot and idk if that’s helpful most of the time.
Ideally have someone like Coutinho in there who can receive and create.
Get in Auba!
What a beauty
yesss one more auba!!!!
One more to go!!!
Just like that.
Auba ONE more to become joint top scorer!
What are Watford doing ??? 😂
Arsenal FC just scored from a long throw.
Dawson has put himself on the transfer list with this performance sheesh. No wonder they’re going down
Kieran Delap.
Dawson must be a gooner inside….
Auba has a chance now… for the Gold boot. Love that finish.
Just one more Auba!
lol Auba doing the biz.
Watford a bit poor defending it.
Auba has a chance for golden boot again or share of it.
We really are awful fans.
Auba is a fucking worldie and we are lucky to have him.
Yet the peasants on here want him sold.
Lovely Auba, just lovely. We wont find this in the transfer market, he has to be signed up ASAP.
Uh oh, Watford implosion incoming, lads need to watch out for any nasty tackles coming through frustration.
Could be a hack fest now.. avoid injuries.
Aubameyang Golden boot 3 seasons in a row? Did Henry manage that?
Who is the dullard here that continually belittles him?
Guys. Tell Auba we’d help him get 4 if he signs d thing at 201 k pw.
Holding cleared the corner for Watford!! Lolllllll
Sarr might be worth a punt when Watford go down
London- I don’t man… I love Auba.. only thing worth watching some matches.
To think Auba scores 20 goals per season on the scraps he gets.
Maaaan
Lovely overhead kick by Auba.
1 behind Vard y in the race for the Golden boot. It would be great if Auba manages to nick it from Vardy.
Who is the dullard here that continually belittles him?
Don? Dullard Don they call him.
At what point do we rest Auba for the cup final? He’s vital but you want him to get a couple more just to make it interesting, I’m sure someone will tell Vardy at half time.
Game over time to scout Chelsea.
Arteta better not sub out Auba
He needs to finish the game… Golden boot on the line
It shows how shit some parts of the team really is when the co/ or golden boot has been with us for 2 to 3 years …
Let’s make an example of Watford and keep scoring … to entertain us if nothing else
Ismaels Sarr is rumoured to be on Liverpool shipping list as understudy for Mane. If true, we have absolutely no chance of getting him.
Willock did well initially cleaning up but then gave the ball away
Don’t get any injury.
Look when people get pissed of because Auba doesn’t have the best passing in the world or dribbling skills ffs.
He is one of the most intelligent strikers in the world. Is movement and timing is up there with the all time greats.
He is a strikers striker. Just a crying shame he joined us at are lowest eb. If he had played for us that season lecister won the league we would have cake walked our way to the title.
Leno wouldn’t have thought about let alone done that catch
All came about from a poor bit of play by Holding
Luiz being Luiz .
Holding being Mustafi.
No pen!!!
Holding and Louise to blame. I hope we get a decent CB.
David Luiz loooool
Dean got his chance.
It’s after the ball left welbecks boot. Really a pen??
Radio_
Yep… you need to scout this Giroud cunt I keep hearing about.
Can Auba help Deeney???
Fucking Holding. Can’t make a simple pass.
Didn’t need that foul Welbeck had scuffed that shot
Welcome to Championship Troy. Who’s the pussie now ?
Holding is a really poor player.
Dean for SURE,
Dean for SURE,
Deeney smashes straight.,
David Luiz cannot play in a back 4. He may have leadership quality and great passing ability, but he truly is a terrible defender.
Can’t really blame Luiz for that one a genuine attempt to disrupt the shot
Mike Dean and Luiz = sure pk. Should have bet on it.
lol Louise
Poor pass from Holding caused the penalty
Holding is weak, confidence shot.
I said Holding was shit before the Man City game and other people suggested he was one of our best defenders as there were other agendas behind why he was not in the team. Nope, he’s just shit.
David Luiz
Giroud with a miss.from six yards.
Watford are done. Between Bournemouth and Villa for one spot now.
We’ll be playing on the counter next week.
Back to a back three. Reckon Tierney will play as a LCB. Niles at LWB if Bellerin is fit.
If not, Niles and Saka down the sides
Holding wouldn’t make it. Watford should be his level and he’s still fluffing it.
Dean found another opportunity. Time to card Xhara for nothing
