Can Arsenal win EPL 2026/27???
freddie13h ago
With ease! Especially when City get their points deducted ;)

Thierry Henry makes it to number 35 on TalkingPoints' 50 best footballers of all time! Should he be higher? 🤔
shamanth.jayaram2d ago

charlesjones2d ago
I'd have him top 15 to be honest, Achieved everything and was unreal individually
freddie2d ago
It feels low, doesn’t it? And modric above him on that list is crazy!

Who is the most underrated Arsenal player of the Premier League era, and why?

ARSENAL FOR EVER,WIN OR NOT. VERY GOOD CLUB DESERVE TO BE TO TEAM
kyle.dimond1d ago
Does Sagna get the credit he deserves? Think Koscieny is the right answer when you look at how long it took them to get another reliable, first name on the team sheet style CB
Who is the most influential Arsenal player in the history of the club and why - Henry, Adams, Bergkamp, Viera, Ian Wright, Liam Brady, David O’Leary, Bob Wilson, Cliff Bastin ? So many legends. Have your say.
noybag2d ago
Viera
marko.davidson.19805d ago
Bergkamp that class he had and not just to be a top assist player but the goals he scored were unbelievable only Bergkamp could pull off the stuff he did and henry who as said already I don't think well see another same with viera captain marvel, and look at the prices the paid for these top players for instance viera £3.5 million
antonymmartin847d ago
Bergkamp. Henry is their best player of all time but Bergkamp changed everything when they signed him from Inter.
The best solution for man city is to give all titles won by cheating we need transparency 🤔
nlambert3545d ago
Maybe Pep was aware of something going to happen

marko.davidson.19805d ago
Its ridiculous how long have the been getting away with it, now we know why pep really left
seanfisher7d ago
I’m not sure Arsenal would even get a title if this happened 👀 just because of the years they have been investigated for. However, Arsenal could easily argue they wouldn’t have won any recent titles without having cheated years earlier

New signings have impressed, but who do YOU think Arsenal will regret not signing in the summer and why? 👀
marko.davidson.19805d ago
1st of all we all want jnr, then 2nd osimhen then 3rd alvarez then 4th rogers
bonhamgarry7d ago
Its a no brainer, osimhen he's a full on ruthless striker.
eoin7d ago
I think Álvarez, arsenal Will always have question marks in attack until they sign an elite striker. Might not hurt them in the league, but the UCL knockouts are decided by players like Álvarez

As an Arsenal fan, what punishment do you think Man City deserve?
Fine, relegation, stripped titles? What do we think?
nigel.harding3d ago
I agree do what they did to rangers
bpwatson20253d ago
I'm not an arsenal fan but I'd do what they did to rangers 😂
bonhamgarry5d ago
Fined and relocated, not lose trophies, bad for english football .complete mess .

How much do you think a prime Theo Walcott would be worth today?
Walcott reckons he'd be worth £125m
jameslloyd14.jl8d ago
If ‘Savio’ is worth 85m then Walcott is spot on ⚡️
dale.odonnell8d ago
Yeah. A £125m flop. Spurs would have signed him. 😂😂

Who should lead the line for Arsenal if Kai Havertz is out for an extended period of time, and why?
Merino actually averages a better return...
elevenbrian8d ago
I wonder why after a year in training, we haven't set Victor up to succeed like he had in Sporting, and I dont know why he hasn't assimilated to our normal style of play either. Watch him waiting for a Raya long ball, back against the defender waiting to draw the foul. Predictable. And constant same play. We need to use him the way he wants to be played.

cpeden899d ago
Gykores he helped us win title on debut season, and the way arteta as treated him like a spare tyre, to throw away (the bosses usual way of treating players don't want anymore) his got a point to prove, and if we play to his strength 💪 he'll produce the goods imo.

dale.odonnell10d ago
Mad that Gyokeres stock has gone down after a season that saw him win the PL. Arsenal fans and Arteta clearly not sold on him.

What do you think Mikel Arteta should be doing with Max Dowman this season? Could he be a starter or should he even be loaned out? 🤔
When he's been given the chance, he has certainly impressed...
olugbengaajilore10d ago
Arteta should be bold to start Max in some matches. Period. That young man is ahead of his peers by miles.

majeedlytle10d ago
He'll make a great debut for the team
titusmokua81811d ago
He should be inn and for long term

Do you agree with this TalkingPoints user who says Arsenal will cruise to the title again? 👀
majeedlytle10d ago
It's a back to back rocking for the gunners
titusmokua81811d ago
Arsenal have never gave upp they still have 💯 chance to lift the trophy 🏆 again coz city was just relaxing and enjoying beating other teams but for now city is going to face the challenge from October they gonna face Liverpool then Ipswich follow Aston villa and Brighton respectful the same month so for city they are starting the premier league officially
jameslloyd14.jl12d ago
City have much more firepower it’s impossible to rule them out

Mikel Arteta will STAY at Arsenal 💪 What is your immediate reaction to the new deal?
dantowen8195112d ago
Never in doubt! I don’t think he’ll walk away until he’s got the champions league
jameslloyd14.jl12d ago
Great news, hopefully the club can deliver him with an attacker signing in January, possibly two
femrola12d ago
That's great news,we need him as the Arsenal Manager, keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍👍.

What did you think will become of Arsenal this season 26/27 in all competition it's playing?
callum_boyle13d ago
Think you’ll win an FA Cup maybe but no title or European trophy. The lack of striking options will hinder you
donaghcorby199713d ago
I’d love them to finally win a European trophy!

leeclarke050813d ago
City will win Prem but actually think Arsenal could conquer Europe finally.

How would you honestly rate Arsenal's start to the season and why?
paulwoodroof094d ago
I feel playing in the world cup and the premier League I feel the players need more rest time and you will get better result that is how I feel about my outstanding team and all I need to see is city boot out of the premier League that is a disgrace for doing all the cheating please take care Paul
elisakanyonyi4d ago
Average, he has to use victor gyokeres
pje1476d ago
just OK but need more goals
Has Arsenal surprised you this season - winning all 6 games across all competitions. If anything, the performances are even better compared to last season (when they bagged the Premier League and came so close in the Champions League). Could this side be Arsenal’s best ever team, and can Arteta be viewed in the same light as Wenger, Graham, Mee and Chapman ?
donaghcorby199715d ago
The world moved at a different pace when wenger was around which allowed people to build a mystique. Arteta can’t get there, even though objectively this Arsenal team is probably better than his invincibles or any of his best sides.
dancoombs15d ago
Arteta is incomparable to Wenger. Only way he betters him is if he wins a European trophy, and even then his style of football won’t command the same respect
dale.odonnell15d ago
Not surprised. Still boring to watch.

What's the maximum fee you would pay to sign Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha for Arsenal?🤔
kevanpower811d ago
I'm a Liverpool fan and I can't see this happening. It's just a malicious rumour. Rubbish
shamanth.jayaram18d ago
He'll enter the final 18 months of his contract in January. Start off with a cheeky £50m plus £1 bid?

What are your thoughts on Martin Zubimendi potentially being a right-back option for Arsenal?
charlesjones18d ago
Fifth choice emergency option and nothing more.
freddie18d ago
Just no. The dudes got the turning circle of a bus
bonhamgarry18d ago
Definitely give him a go at right back, he's got to much talent to let go .

Can Arsenal really afford to sell Noni Madueke after failing to sign another winger?
freddie18d ago
Not without a big replacement no, but based on ability yes
markmarston20d ago
No defo not - not without a replacement.
amirmir20d ago
Yes they can if they get the right dough for him. This is where Arsenal need to be ruthless.

What are your honest thoughts on the penalty Sunderland were awarded against Arsenal?🤔
wanjalapaul50621d ago
I think it was a clear penalty but it only apply to other teams but not to arsenal...the same thing happened to bukayo saka the last season when we were playing against paris saint germany but we were not awarded anything so I really don't know how this rules apply

Discuss: Viktor Gyokeres' performance for Arsenal against Napoli
bonhamgarry18d ago
Gyokeres ,is going backwards got to let him go ,had enough time now to prove himself .
hueyreg21d ago
Shit get rid
segunabey1021d ago
Without Gyokeres staying strong last season, with 21 goals we couldn't have won the league and getting to UEFA final. Thanks to Saka, Haverts and Odegaard injury. ..Arteta can't manage a star, remember Auba, Ozil, and the rest. ..stop criticising Gyok, he got less than 2 clear passes from the duo of Saka and Odegaard like they did last season. Envy.

Who was your Man of the Match against Napoli?
A solid 1-0 win for Arsenal
slangley34725d ago
Odegaard
kilham.max25d ago
Odegaard! Has started this season on fire.
jameslloyd14.jl25d ago
Definitely Odegaard. Incredible again


Full-Time - Napoli 0-1 Arsenal
Give us your instant reaction as Arsenal win in Naples!
segunabey1021d ago
He was not the man of the match. Tzolis should be praised. He's supposedly create chances, but his style of play dullish round about distributor is too bad for strikers. 🧐
marko.davidson.198024d ago
Got the 3 points played well and could have been more but never took our chances we missed, overall 3 points is all that matters ,let's go next 😉
majeedlytle24d ago
Unbeaten here we go@Arsenal

0-0 at half-time
Any interesting observations from that opening 45?
marko.davidson.198024d ago
Could have been up 2 or 3 by half time but missed our chances but we're by far the better team.
charlesjones25d ago
Most boring half of the season. Need to click in the second half
jameslloyd14.jl25d ago
Really good performance, should be 2-0 up. Carved them open and created chances that should have resulted in goals. Saka especially wasteful

What do you make of Mikel Arteta’s starting XI vs Napoli?
marko.davidson.198024d ago
I would have started the team that played chelsea as havertz is great thr now
jameslloyd14.jl25d ago
Great side. Hincapie + Eze are well suited together down the left. Gyok shoul get chances if he’s on it movement-wise. Would’ve liked Saka to be rested but always fun watching him in the Champions League
charlesjones25d ago
Very strong. Easy win.
This is our Arsenal XI vs Napoli in the Champions League! What changes would you make?
pharaoh08525d ago
Actual lineup has Guimaraes and Zubimendi behind Odegaard, with White playing right back.
marko.davidson.198025d ago
I would have kept the team who faced chelsea ,but without rice as he needing to sit this out so bruno comes in
kyle.archer26d ago
Could play Madueke on the left to let Eze play centrally and give Odegaard a rest
What is a realistic Premier League goal tally for Kai Havertz this season if he stays fit?
shamanth.jayaram26d ago
If he hits 15 Prem goals, that would be a ridiculous season considering the type of player he is. I'd be happy with 15 all comps plus close to 10 assists
markmarston26d ago
15 in all comps… good number of assists too. That’ll do Arteta
majeedlytle26d ago
Staying fits 💯 he'll hit at least 20 goals
What do you make of Graeme Souness' latest criticism of Declan Rice? 😳
bonhamgarry16d ago
I think Graeme souness, is not taking into account that Declan was playing with an injury and fatigue last season ,for england as well .
kyle.archer25d ago
By 'not a midfield player', Souness surely means Rice is a 'midfield machine'?
shamanth.jayaram26d ago
Pep wanted him at City, Tuchel wanted him at Bayern and he dominated Real Madrid over two legs when we last played them. I'd bet good money that if you put Souness on the spot and asked him to name Real, Barca and Bayern's midfield, he'd probably name five players combined
Another win for Arsenal against Chelsea. Give us your thoughts on the game👀
dantowen8195127d ago
Feels to me that Arteta has released the handbrake after getting that title over the line. He’s gone from Mourinho to Guardiola in one summer haha
m.okasilihenry27d ago
We seem to be pushing the other contenders aside so far, so far. We look dangerous. Long may it continue.
golfnut858427d ago
Typical Chelsea, poor lovers, and Arsenal should have been more clinical, should have been 4-5.
Arsenal fans...tell us why Raphinha would be the PERFECT January signing if it can be pulled off?
olugbengaajilore26d ago
I don’t think Raphinha has any respect for us Gunners and I don’t think too much of him either. We need players who love us and are willing to play for us.
adamfoxsmith2928d ago
He would solve our left wing problem and add elite quality to our attack, so we can finally reduce our reliance on Saka!
kilham.max28d ago
I mean… this isn’t happening. Aspirational bordering on delusional.
What changes would you make to our Arsenal XI vs Chelsea on Sunday? 🔴⚪
bonhamgarry27d ago
Tzolis for eze, when fit timber for white
amirmir28d ago
Eze has to defo come in. He needs to be rewarded for that Villa performance.
watters.mary29d ago
Don't believe White is strong enough
Does Gabriel Martinelli go down as an Arsenal great in your eyes, and how do you feel about seeing him leave European football?

shamanth.jayaram30d ago
Will always love him. Still think he has everything to be a superstar in the right system. Surprised no European club came in for him. Such a shame he never fulfiled his potential at Arsenal. One of the few things I blame Arteta for

jameslloyd14.jl30d ago
Proper worker and loved the club more than anyone 🫡 Represented the first sign of light for the future, even before Saka + ESR really came on the scene. For his own sake he needed to move on - we don’t suit him anymore. Still believe he could score loads of goals in the right setup, and it’s sad he won’t be doing that in Europe

What are your honest thoughts on Emiliano Martinez?
jackdrury30d ago
For Chelsea, it’s a huge upgrade on what we already had. Can obviously see why he’s not everyone’s cup of tea mind…
charlesjones31d ago
He’s certainly a character. From an Arsenal perspective it’s hard to knock him. But generally he seems like an annoying fella
jameslloyd14.jl31d ago
Can’t knock what’s he’s gone on to do since leaving. Hope his Chelsea run goes horribly, obviously

How concerned are you about Viktor Gyokeres’ role under Mikel Arteta this season?
bonhamgarry29d ago
Very concerned ,nothing to do with mikel . He is not an out out striker, cant win a challenge for a ball in the air
james.brooke31d ago
Saw someone claiming it was because he’s changing his number after Jesus left? Didn’t follow it up, was that nonsense?

He'll making a great debut.And his performance will be more than expectations 💯
What are your realistic expectations for Ethan Nwaneri in the Bundesliga this season?
marko.davidson.198024d ago
He will do good at dortmund there reputation for building young players into stars is well known and being on loan there he will benefit from that, especially now hes getting time on the pitch which will be beneficial for them then us ,all the best ethan enjoy

The 2026 summer transfer window is now officialy closed. Give us your thoughts on Arsenal's signings👀
jmalley90131d ago
Artetas fascination with Alvares has ruined Arsenals chances.
lockomick232d ago
you buy big sell cheap no idea as how to run champion team a joke
kyle.archer32d ago
Arsenal are not 'massively' stronger than when they entered the window. Sure, they have more bodies in defence and midfield to help with the demands of fighting for the PL and UCL titles, but not having a world-class left-winger could be a big problem.
In hindsight, do you wish Arsenal had just paid the £117m fee to sign Morgan Rogers?
paulwoodroof0931d ago
I don't want arsenal to sign him I don't think he is a good player anyway take care
bayid.sohun32d ago
The TEAMS managers and advisers know who will in THE TEAM

100% one of the best players in the premier league
Gabriel Jesus is officially a Barcelona player! What is your absolute favourite memory of Gabby in an Arsenal shirt? 🇧🇷✨
shamanth.jayaram33d ago
His form before the Workd Cup in 2022! Genuinely thought we had signed a world beater. Such a shame that injuries ruined his Arsenal career
jameslloyd14.jl33d ago
Think history will remember him kindly, transformed our attack in 2022 and helped elevate us to title contenders. That goal vs United in 2023 my fav memory

Arsenal are set to miss out on Malick Fofana to Sunderland after they were unwilling to meet Lyon's asking price. Thoughts?
jameslloyd14.jl34d ago
Quite glad tbh. Bringing in two LWs only for your best option to still be Eze, who couldn’t even start over Martinelli or Trossard. Would’ve been really underwhelming, but maybe better than nothing tho?
