The Only Award That Matters Is The PL Title

HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal The only reason he won was because Arsenal had a split vote for Rice Raya Gabriel. Genuinely, cant let this happen for PFA POTY. We will think of a way to unanimously agree because that is criminal. Also, it just shows we have multiple top performers in our team. 5:31 PM • May 8, 2026 2229 Retweets 21955 Likes Read 815 replies

Scout Report

A relegation-threatened side with nothing to lose against us when we need to be ruthless.

Their form: Fighting for their lives after spending £47m in January, and it’s working. Nineteen points from thirteen games since the window closed, but that 3-0 hammering at Brentford last week will have them rattled. They’re in a straight scrap with Spurs to stay up.

Watch out for: Jarrod Bowen cutting inside on his left foot. Eight goals, ten assists this season and he proper winds us up. Their set pieces too - hit the woodwork three times even in defeat last week. When they win it back, Bowen and Summerville have pace to hurt us.

Team news: Nearly full strength with Ødegaard and Havertz back. Only Timber and Merino out.

My View

“ It's us against the world. Well, it certainly feels that way. Every football influencer is working together to create the biggest hate watch of all time, and I love it. Man City get away with three decisions yesterday, which, if the shoe was on the other foot, would just be given against us, but none of that matters. At the end of the day, the Premier League is in our hands. We have an opportunity to silence all of our critics and deliver an unforgettable season if we just win our next three games, or four if you include the Champions League. I've asked Arsenal to show character, bravery, and fight. They have delivered! Keep this up for 4 more games boys! The Champions League Semi final? wow that was an emotional day for sure. ​ I think the game against West Ham is going to be really difficult. I'm hoping for very few changes, considering now there's only one game per week, and my prediction is 3-2, last-minute goal, Arsenal. — Cordell Hayes
