Just watched the incident again on highlights and I wouldn't call it a headbutt. Both players faces were right up against one another in an aggressive manner but there was no movement by either to butt the opponent so a yellow card was fair punishment.

Next 3 look pretty tough but let's see how we go.

Agree that AA worked his socks off today and those hard yards are vital to the team. The only time I thought he let himself down was when he intercepted that loose pass and then didn't really make up his mind in a positive way and ended up giving it away with a careless touch. He should perhaps have oped to drive on and get a shot away or play in Aribo.

Very pleasing to see us score two excellent goals from open play this week where we took the ball out of defence and worked it forward with good running and intelligent passing. It just goes to show we can do it so the next step is to do it more regularly.

Where has this story come from?

Think he'd be good up top alongside Che from the start and will learn quickly that way rather than odd appearances as a sub. Get him in at the deep end cos I reckon he'll swim.

Your friend is clearly bitter that we failed to roll over and let his team stroll through us unopposed.

Lovely goal made all the sweeter by the fact that it shut up Alan Smith constantly drooling over his Arsenal for a few minutes.

Why can't you comment on what you've seen first half then again at full time - nothing wrong with that. If you didn't like the first half no reason not to say so, if there was big improvement in the second half then say so at the end. It's smug just to claim people are not entitled to express their views at half time.

Much improved second half when we finally decided not to just stand back and admire their pretty football. We got tackles in early and broke in numbers and were probably better than them after the break. Great move for the goal and well finished by Stu. Elyounoussi was brilliant in the second half and had a huge hand in the goal. Brilliant point and great effort from the team.

Could do worse than chucking Edozi on, he couldn't be any poorer than this lot.

If Ralph had anything about him as a coach he would tell his players to do exactly what Arsenal are doing - play between the lines. It's not rocket science Ralph, when will you learn!

I'd rather have Tella on the wage bill than Walcott tbf

Tella scores another.

How shite were Liverpool today? Bet their fans are fuming with that performance after beating City.

KWP drop in form looks to have coincided with him being told not to make so many forward runs - he's stopped doing what he's good at and I doubt he'd do that unless it was a directive from Ralph.

Are the B-Team shit as well then 🙂

Ralph hinted in the press conference that we will not sit back against Arsenal.

How long until Lavia's fit? He's been out for nearly 8 weeks now.

Whoever goes there is unlikely to select Bednarek unless they have an injury crisis. He'll be back here at the end of the season.

Is this from a credible source or just more clickbait?

Until Lavia returns I wonder if Lyanco could play a role in front of the back 4. We need a physical presence there and he clearly has a bit of skill on the ball.

I think it's too late now for JWP and the odd good game will not sway Southgate who will already have decided not to take him.

Are you watching them Not one of our players would get in Fulham's side.
