Great penalties.

The quadruple is on.

Has anyone noticed that the jerseys aren't repeats but are individual prints of the marble print.

Pretty cool

DenMan

Delighted! We just love playing at Wembley! Well done Arsenal.

Winning it aside

90 minutes is what was important. With a good few second string players good to see the way Arteta wants to play is understood and replicated throughout the squad.

Another good performance against a full strength top side, an winning is a habit

Marcus Antonius

Surely we can't be looking to sell AMN? Need Aubas contract to be announced already too! Good win today, scrappy goal for them but we're to blame for sitting back and trying to do it 1-0 in the second half. Anyway delighted to beat the Pool again!

Quazzie

the camera turning to Liverpool turning their back on the lifting of the trophy and walking for the dressing rooms is pure perfection.

To be fair they stood there and applauded right until we lifted the shield. Could you imagine a Fergie or a Jose team doing that...

I admire Liverpool as a football club greatly and im a big fan of Klopp, but some of their irish fans certainly in my parish im delighted for them

Arteta still unbeaten against them

Gizmo55

Really really enjoyed that. People say it was a nothing game but it builds confidence. Delighted!

Im not sure id sell any of those players the way they are playing. Holding was quite good again today as was David Luiz. Elneny though......christ

Certainly in terms of where Arsenal are, that win will do them the power of good. Winning becomes a habit as they say.

"We know the market is difficult at the minute. I am happy with the squad I have, my job is to make them better" Arteta has changed his tone. Forget about the FA cup and this mickey mouse trophy, if we go into next season with Elneny anywhere near the team in place of Ceballos, we will be finishing outside the top 6 again

Fair play to the lads today anyway. Great for the confidence if nothing else

Who knows, maybe Messi would prefer to play under Arteta?

Nice to get a win like that, against a team like that, under our belts.

Ozil - Barca
Messi - Arsenal

Yeah I'd take that.

Dream on men!

Don’t care much for the trophy itself but it’s nice to beat the pool regardless of the competition. We don’t tend to lose many at Wembley.

I really hope that’s not Arteta’s way of saying there’ll be no more signings.
That would be a kick in the balls.
Elneny was good today but he’s not even made the squad last season.

He was on loan last year.

Read nothing into what Arteta said he’s answered that question 10 times this week, he’ll sign some players

AMN called into the England squad.

Yep if he’s being sold that’ll add to the cost...

I think there will be one more signing after Gabriel and that will be that.

And played well for them too from what ive read. Besiktas keen to keep him

Hopefully it’s a good midfielder.
That done and I’d be fairly happy with the squad especially if we held on to Cebellos.

Alot of talk that Ceballos wants to play for Betis

Hope not. I thought he played well last season and got better the more it went on when Arteta arrived. He linked up our play very well.

tayto lover

Not our business but does anyone think that getting Matt Doherty at 15 million was a steal for Spurs? Seems very cheap for a very steady player.

CatInABox

The somewhat interesting thing about our players is that, for some of them, we actually don't know what they're like anymore. We spent so long playing an absolutely crazy system under Emery that'd make Messi look like ****e, I actually think some of the players that we're all convinced are ultra-terrible were just suffering from some really questionable management.

I mean, I guess Xhaka is probably the prime example of this. There was a time when he was number 1 out the door for me. I felt sorry for him, but yeah, he was first on the list to go. Now though? I'm ok with him staying, there's a good few names on the list before him.

Definitely some total deadwood to be cleared out though.

Thomas Partey is probably in that Kante/Essien box to box mould. Arteta seems to place huge emphasis on transition, thus he wants players who can collect the ball and run with it.

Ive heard of Aouar being mentioned also from Lyon (The oooh-arr and Aouar-ya chants will be too good to miss there )

For sure, especially when you see Chillwell going for 50 million or whatever

I think he's an absolute bargain at that money. He'll win feck all with that crowd though. Mourinho's tactics has been copped a long time ago. To lose to them a few weeks back was absolutely galling

Was looking at a wolves page and they were going mad that they only got that price and chilwell went for 50m!
And I think bohs got 1.5m from the sale aswell

An absolute steal. Doherty is at least worth 30m. It seems international football adds alot to value of players but sure then id say Aubameyang has never even played in an ANC and he'd go for a few bob even at 32... (Correct me if im wrong on that one?)

Just need to bring back Agent Tim as their manager now once Mourinho inevitably gets the boot.

Regardless of the importance of the trophies we've won, I have to say I was 100% completely wrong on underestimating their value. Arteta's Arsenal has needed to win these trophies. In the past, under the latter days of the Wenger regime, yes it would have been perhaps proved a false dawn....but there is something different about what we are currently in. There is a real bounce about the club at the moment and the man at the wheel of the ship has pointed forward in full confidence that the land of riches lies ahead.

I got the sense looking at Klopp processing everything after the game today that he feels that there is possibly a new Sheriff heading for town and that Liverpool will have to be on their toes. I can imagine that Pep, fresh off the back of the Champions league disappointment is looking over his shoulder too. it will take time and personnel, but we are beginning to head in the right direction and picking up speed.

Obviously Arteta is doing an amazing job, but jesus, if we don't give Auba whatever he wants, we're just a bunch of f*ckin eejits.

While initially skeptical, the man seems to be as content at Arsenal as Bergkamp was. He doesnt want to leave, and no one wants him to leave. He'll sign and see out the rest of his playing days as a Gooner hopefully.

tayto lover

There’s a possibility that Bergkamp is on the way back as assistant manager too.
That excites me.
Players will want to come to Arsenal and play undef both I feel.
Things are certainly looking bright.
The Kronkes need to step up now and give them the money to get the players we need.
Exciting times ahead if those things happen.

This would make my world, when I play championship manager I always sign him as my assistant 😂

We have beaten Man city,Chelsea and Liverpool twice in the last 45 days-how often can we say that over the years

Saw that earlier, funny in fairness. Why weren’t Arsenal in for him if he’s a Gooner? Cheaper than Saliba & Gabriel

Edit: He’s a right back? I thought he was central for some reason! I still think we could do with cover there :pac:

I'm hearing a connection with Yaya, I presume a backroom role

Who runs Spurs social media accounts, they're absolutely cringy as ****. Not to mention they post this 4 weeks after we win the FA cup and one day after the Charity Shield... I mean, absolutely embarrassing.
