Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 25/26

Quazzie · 18-02-2026 10:56PM

That goal has been coming. Fully deserved for Wolves. In 2 games against them they've been the better team on both occasions.

Azatadine · 18-02-2026 10:56PM

League done.

tayto lover · 18-02-2026 10:56PM

We deserved that. I could see it coming. Something wrong with the mentality when you throw away a 2 goal lead to a terrible team like Wolves.

Arghus · 18-02-2026 10:57PM

What on earth.

That's ridiculous.

KaiserGunner · 18-02-2026 10:58PM

Season over lads. Not nearly **** good enough.

FixitFelix · 18-02-2026 10:58PM

Arsenal doing their best to hand this league to city. Bottom of the table wolves making us look mediocre on 2 occasions

tayto lover · 18-02-2026 10:59PM

Urgency now when the game is over. Disgraceful. Every time we have a chance to create a gap we play like this.

Underground · 18-02-2026 10:59PM

A two goal lead dropped to one of the worst teams to ever play in the premier league.

Just completely forget about winning the league. It’s not happening.

Quazzie · 18-02-2026 10:59PM

Raya at fault for that. Like a headless chicken. Pure blind panic

CiaranW · 18-02-2026 10:59PM

F me.
Shat the bed again.

Soups123 · 18-02-2026 11:00PM

Said it loads of times. Arteta is afraid to win games, we go a goal up and just sit terrified of conceding and we’ve been caught too many times. He blames the players but it’s him and he’ll not win a league with his negative approach. This part of the season you need to be brave and he’s terrified in games against the poorest of oppositions. He’ll cost us this league

We are horrible to watch

patrickc · 18-02-2026 11:01PM

There are no words.

Fann Linn · 18-02-2026 11:01PM

Can't watch any more of this. Spurs this weekend doesn't look so good either the way we're playing currently.

At this point, there's no way you could have any confidence that Arteta will ever get Arsenal over the line.

KaiserGunner · 18-02-2026 11:02PM

Do yourselves a favour. Its done. Ain't winning any league after that. Even the players know.

Underground · 18-02-2026 11:02PM

This has echoes of the 2-2 with Birmingham in the 07/08 season at an almost identical stage of the season.

Handbags at full time, two goal leads dropped, history repeats…

cr-07 · 18-02-2026 11:02PM

Absolute implosion

omega man · 18-02-2026 11:04PM

we just don’t have the mentality to win a title unfortunately. No forwards killing us too. Imagine throwing a title to City in Pep’s last season, don’t even want to imagine it.

tayto lover · 18-02-2026 11:05PM

I keep saying it but slow-mo football never works for Arsenal. Fast crisp football is how we win. I really don't understand Arteta or why he wants them playing this rubbish slow football.

omega man · 18-02-2026 11:06PM

no way we’re beating Spurs now

speedboatchase · 18-02-2026 11:07PM

With the squad we have, if we don't win this league (and I don't think we will), the problem lies with Arteta. He's like Southgate - a nice man, got us into a new tier but ultimately too cautious and not a winner.

omega man · 18-02-2026 11:08PM

It’s boring to watch sadly. If we’re winning it’s enough as the prize is so big but when results like tonight happen it’s just harder to take.

Pretty much irrelevant now. Cant underestimate the psychological damage that game will have. I slagged off Man City throwing a 2 goal lead away agaisnt Spurs the other week. But thats worse tonight.

Deeper Blue · 18-02-2026 11:11PM

I'm absolutely gutted after that I have to say. Feels like a massive blow.

speedboatchase · 18-02-2026 11:13PM

Yeah, I fully expect that after we drop points against Chelsea and Spurs, City will be on top. And that will be that. Just a few days and the frustration will all be over.

BenK · 18-02-2026 11:13PM

I actually still think Arsenal will win the league. You're still in the best position objectively. I suppose this is where the manager is important and needs to shift the mindset of the players. Tonight is obviously a big slip up but it doesn't have to be terminal.

Arghus · 18-02-2026 11:14PM

As someone has said it feels like Birmingham away in 07/08. It wasn't fatal on the day, but you knew in your heart it was over.

I just can't see them winning the league. There's just something missing mentally - tonight was just the latest manifestation of it.

omega man · 18-02-2026 11:15PM

social media black out now for me, the abuse will be off the charts. We were close to been 9 points clear a week ago. Balls

emmetlego · 18-02-2026 11:15PM

That was rock bottom lads and ladies. Just awful. Raya, of all people, panicking like that at the end?? That's a sign. Aside from his goal. Saka was poor, as were all our forwards! This is on the boss, unless there was an illness or something in the camp. 2nd again ole ole looks like nailed on. That is so frustrating. So so so frustrating. I'm deeply upset right now. And I hate the word "bottle"!

Not really. It's in City's hands now and they have us at home.
