Incredible game, incredible manager. The boys did well out there today, and if it hadn’t been for downright dog shit officiating we may have walked away with all 3 points.

Chuffed.

I think it makes a real difference having a calm manager as well. I know we enjoyed watching Conte cam but I don't think his reactions and emotions suited the players at all. Ange seems so composed and it filters through to the players. You need it with a younger squad.

New generation needs an arm around the shoulder and not a kick up the ass, and I’m okay with that as long as we play the way we did today.

So glad the old nucleus of the squad is largely gone, we needed a change of guard and it’s done wonders. We only need to see the drop off in quality today when PEH came on to know that we’ve moved in a new direction.

His behaviour compared to Arteta is chalk and cheese.

It’s physically impossible for me to describe how much I hate that man.

The way he has those rats diving, rolling, bitching and complaining all game is detestable.

He isn’t fit to scrape the shit off the bottom of Ange’s shoes.

We are on pace for 95 goals this season.

With Kane, we scored 70+ goals just three times. (86 in 16/17, 74 in 17/18, and 70 in 22/23)

I'm loving big Ange instead...


(Kane v. Haaland this season would have been epic, had Kane decided to stay.)

Although he won't get Haaland numbers I think we're on course for another high scoring season for Son. I think he could beat his golden boot season. I think Kane would have still been short of Haaland but would have been the highest for goal assists plus goals combined.

His post match presser. Very calm and measured. Almost like he’s disappointed with not winning but full of praise for the team.

Ange's strong belief is filtering through to the players and is reflected on his decisions.
We looked risky in the back but he trusted Bissouma and Porro to handle the press.
We are keeping the ball better which allows Madders to make the key pass.
Son's at his poaching best.
We are riding a good wave now and I hope this mood continues when it gets tougher.
