The wildfires in LA are really something from an apocalyptic Hollywood movie. It’s utterly horrifying. I cannot even begin to imagine it.

Really excellent work from Martinelli down the right. Jesus great effort, and Havertz poaching. Much better.

GABI JESUS HAS TURNED INTO PELE

Great great finish Gabi Jesus. Much better in this second half so far. Come on Arsenal! ❀️🀍

We’ve lost this already I’m afraid. Sterling, Merino, Kiwior, Partey, Gabriel Jesus… these are not the players you want on the pitch when you’re struggling.

Kyle Walker is an embarrassment. What a complete and utter bellend.

Still loads to play for in 4 competitions this season. The league isn’t happening but a good cup run is well within our abilities.

I think some perspective is needed. Totally fine to be disappointed with today, this season, and our transfer window. We all are. But there shouldn’t even be any whisper of Arteta Out.

It’s an off season. Everyone has them. Time to remember where we were before 22/23.

Frustrating that we have an off season the same time as Man City.

It’s possible I’m being reactionary.

We’re crap I’m afraid.

One of the worst halves of football I’ve ever seen. We’re so uninspiring at times.

Christ, Merino is the most disappointing signing for a good while for me. Especially given the fact we’re so light up top. Money could’ve been spent so much better. What an uninspiring player he is.

What a ball again Jesus.

Gabi Jesus is absolutely finished.

Waited months and paid millions to get him. Now he’s gone already.

That club is an absolute mess from top to bottom.

It really does not get any less funny to watch Man United lose. They’re so so crap.

That’s some of the worst goalkeeping you’re ever likely to see. What is Onana doing?

Sitting in the office, working on the network's Christmas plans, listening to Meet The Grahams in my headphones, and suddenly remembering how unbelievably cold and brutal this track is.

Holy shit.

Simon Calder is fucking loving today. Plonked himself down in the middle of a chaotic Paddington station to report on the sheer state of the country’s rail network.

Lot of respect for it.

Gregg Wallace has really provided the most incredible lesson in PR over the last few days.
