Any news on ESR?

Johnny 4 Hats

He got a gig filming an advert for the Holloway road vape shop.

Nainsley Aitland Miles

ESR sick (not covid).

Tomiyasu out with a calf injury.

Johnny 4 Hats

I would go one further. Not only is he sick, but he’s also dope and a baller.

*tips hat to young Arsenal fans who roll their eyes and stare back at me with a look of utter disdain*

Carlos

Thanks! Gosh I hope tomiyasu isn’t out for too long. 🤞

Nainsley Aitland Miles

True. 10 days until the next game though (Watford away).

Nady

Pepe the only inspiration from the bench! COYRRReddddds!

Bryan

U were right after all 😊😊😊

Appels&Pere

What happened to ESR?

A M

Possibly a knock for ESR 🙁
But Gabi is also a very good replacement for him
Still no Tomiyasu, maybe Arteta wants to give Cedric a run of games, or Tomi’s not 100% fit, or both
Either ways COYG time to do the double over the celebration police!🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴 🔴
PS: these red dots are our players celebrating a win against wolves like they won the league

Tapps

How is ANYONE down voting this? C’mon you reds. Feel this match is ‘season defining’.

A M

I’d say it’s not truly season defining, but I agree with what you mean
If we win this we can be 5th with 3 (3 right…?) games in hand and with a good amount of momentum moving forward

Tapps

A M, it’s the ‘momentum’ bit I was referring to. I believe that if we win this, the players will have renewed belief that we can do this.

Why only 19 of them?

A M

was supposed to be 11 but some stupid glitch

Bai Blagoi

Eh, come on, let the bench join the fun!

A M

why not hahaha

Tombo

Tomi and esr big misses. Need to take an early chance then I think we can control the game. Big 3pts please!

Brady’s bunch

Should be a win for us

Might be worth noting that Neves is on 9 yellow cards so hopefully he goes half-hearted on the tackles tonight – Wolves will certainly want him against West Ham on Sunday (another 6-pointer for them).

Teryima Adi

Cannons out and blazing. COYG!!!

TeeCee

Forgot to mention at the time but, last time around, my wolves supporting mate said he was pleased to see that the seat covers from the London underground carriages didn’t go to waste when they were changed.
We’re warming up in the third strip again. He’s going to be insufferable…

chepetin

Thought is was the other way round: Our third strip is sent to TFL to be used for seat covers…

TeeCee

I see where you’re coming from, but the reason the shirts don’t have obvious fag burns on them is that the tube banned smoking years ago.

chepetin

That’s hilarious

Leevenio

Low scoring draw

Thierry Bergkamp (Xhaka Out)

Strong looking bench

Jace

Lol
U must be fun at parties..
Just pray those that started give us a good show..

TeeCee

Bit of a plank, but holds up well.
Don’t know why bench isn’t starting.

Lacaubapepe

Atkinson again? That’s a penalty all day. Such an ass of a man

Canadagoon

What’s with these biased commentators – “Tierney hurt himself stretching there” – Semedo kicked him in the jewels.

And of course Atkinson not interested in giving us a penalty…I’m already stressed and angry

Canadagoon

Bodes poorly for my afternoon meetings, but of course the team can make it all worth it with 3pts!

Bryan

Whats wrong with gabriel ? Laca is finiahed ..why does matinelli have to trip ? Why does saka waste too much time on d ball b4 shooting ?am gutted

Ricky

Good call Bryan!

Kostas

This match is a constant brainfart

chepetin

It’s sure to get better towards the end…

Ealing

Need more effort off the ball and Pepe

Sagebrush

Laca has been wayward lately

Ealing

Waiting for Pepe

Lacaubapepe

Laca works so hard for the team but how many chances does he want to get before he puts one away? It’s so upsetting to watch

goonero

When Granit Xhaka is your most advanced midfielder against a deepblock you’ve already lost.

Lacaubapepe

Now that laca goal is worth a contract extension!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Billy bob

GOAL 🥳🥳🥳🥳 2-1 sorry wolves did I celebrate too much 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kostas

Still sacking.
Didnt celebrate
