I’m gonna be honest Charles, you’re probably my favourite Arsenal correspondent. I watch every single one of your videos the whole way through and have done for years. I think you are selling yourself short. More lives to let people make superchats and maybe make a patreon for more content. I know it’s not just about money but make the most out of the years of hard work you have put in to be this valuable. Thanks!

Saliba is actually ridiculous (as is Gabriel). There have been so many times this season where he's being closed down and it looks like he'll almost definitely lose the ball but he somehow makes the right pass or takes an extra touch and plays himself out of trouble. His composure needs to be studied. Spent so many seasons being scarred by bozo moments. Even if he does provide them going ahead, he's got enough credit to be forgiven instantly. As has Raya, made the mistake and was immense on every single cross into the box. Commands his area brilliantly. Love these players

Havertz turning into a really imp player

Hi Charles, I have to say I’m so so happy with Havertz. As Americans say, the most important ability is availability and not only is Kai always fit & but he’s always full of energy. I remember when we bought him & the media were baffled in what Arteta saw, that Julien Laurens - himself an Arsenal fan - noted that he led the league in runs in behind when he was at Chelsea and was one of the best at Aerial duels + Pressing. Fast forward to regular starts up front for us and you can see his game intelligence in his runs, be they in behind to give options / create space, or dropping deep to break opposition presses and create chances for others. Whilst he needs to work on his 1-on-1 finishing (that Chelsea goal was great to see), it’s increasingly apparent that he’s our Thomas Müller: excellent general play and deceptively good at poaching unflashy goals in the 6 yard box. Add in his shithousing and Bergkamp-like unexpected niggliness for a technical player and he’s got Club Legend written all over him. Lastly, I think his environment inside + outside the club is playing a major role in him starting to realise his potential: he has a manager who believed in him more than previous coaches, fans + the media and stuck with him despite his indifferent start to the season, he’s won the fans over big time since and if you follow his misses on Instagram you’ll see that they socialise a lot with Odegaard, Trossard, White + Saka so they’re tight off the pitch too. Think our focus should be midfield.

I will gradually recover from what Raya put us through yesterday, but that aside...what a MASSIVE win!

Deckers is a legend! You ever get the chance to kick a spurs player in the bollox, you take it!

Anyone notice that Kai push on Maddison. I always hated teams like United for that dirty style they bring to games but I'm happy him and Ben white are making up for it.

Trossard was working hard and getting a few tackles in. He deserves a 6.

is it me or every time Martinelli comes on he looks unfit? He looks like he doesn't have any stamina at the moment

Thanks Charles. Hats off to Arteta once again for the Havertz signing. People may not admit it but he gives something just a little extra than Jesus, plus he's always fit and available.

Game changed when Trossard came off

I honestly can`t believe what Havertz is producing at the moment. At the beginning of the season there were tries to hype up is off the ball play and some actions ...and I hoped he will turn it someway around but this ... He wins headers, plays good passes, runs into space AND gets the output .... Imagine this Havertz for a whole season (!) ...I don`t know if we really need a striker then or if a fast winger would be more called for

If we win our next three, I don't really care if we don't win the league. I'd still be extremely proud of the boys. I don't think it'd be down to that villa game in that case, more due to that December form.

Such an important win! *COYG* 💪🏻

I think Trossard was better than that. He is respected as a dangerous player, and he provided width, and kept space for the interplay iin the center and right of the field. He wasn't his usual, productive self, but he fulfilled his role.

Raya dreadful error: Rice unlucky.

One down 3 to go ... excellent Big win I thank God for it .....We need to keep humble with an eye on the ball the finishing line is just around the corner we need to concentrate on our game next week

Hello Charles, I'm really concerned if we end up winning the remaining three games and still finish second, that how will the team pick themselves up for next season, considering how brilliant we have been this season, we've absolutely been the best team in the league this season

Charles you are spot on. Arsenal was bad in the first half but scored 3 goals. They were good in the second half but conceded 2 goals. Quite a weird game.

Been waiting all morning for you to drop one, Charles.

Kai Havertz's touch to control a chipped ball into midfield from Gabriel and then bypass pressure from 3 players before laying it on to Odegaaard. Moments later we had a corner and scored a third. Brilliant 🔥

Tottenham Hotspur, the gift that keeps on giving... to Arsenal, that is. Cheers!

I was really frustrated with Raya's blunder but it was also clear that he recovered from the mistake and was grabbing all the highballs in the box after.

Havertz is going beyond just 'getting better' now, his form is incredible atm , 18 G/A while playing multiple roles and hes still young. I would say we get a strong forward who can play up front and wings like leao , even with a striker havertz is very versitile. Hes at the very least justified that money now. Really doing it at the business end. (same amount of open play goals as 'cold' palmer btw)

Raya made similar nervy error against Bayern which cost us the tie.

'Happy St Totteringham's day'

Hi Charles, regular watcher here! Your spot on all the points, as usual, especially acknowledging and mentioning the part about Kai, how hes so crucial to our team at the final stage of the season. However, I respectfully disagree with the Raya’s rating. I think the 5 you gave him initially was very kind. He was exceptionally after the error, so commanding. Great response, but that error lead Spurs comeback into the game. That error put so much pressure on the team, as the last 20mins showcased. Top performance from the boys but I would give Raya a 4 for. Hopefully he can still get the golden glove. Cheers Charles

🔴 Signing a 30 goal striker could take away the impact of our wide men and the synergy between them and havertz. Havertz has played 9 games up front scoring 7 goals and 5 assists. He has also had an impact in the big games this season like the city game when he came off the bench and also the game against liverpool. Chelsea and Bayern for the saka assist and also was instrumental in that missed Ben white chance against Bayern. He is a key player for us. He links well with all of our front players. He will only get better as this is his first season and is only 24. I think the focus shoild be signing a player who has blistering pace across the front line. A player who can play Ideally right or left wing. This is where we are lacking and need to add in my view. No need to spend 100m on isak for example. 🔴

Hi Charles. When Havertz first arrived at the club and everyone was questioning his abilities, I was a bit reserved because I could see on his face he wasn't a player playing with confidence. Now that he has settled down and feel like he belong, you can now see what Arteta saw when he brought him in.

Charles, congrats on having the integrity for calling Raya's cute-little-chip-that-fell-short a "massive mistake , a huge , huge error ". It's exactly that, uncalled for while under practically no pressure.... It's ok for goalies, even top ones, to have occasional lapses but why would many supporters/fans try downplay it in every way imaginable ... Why? That ain't going to help Raya winning heart and love amongst the fan base.

Just keep going and take it to the end. They didnt play well but spuds is the gift that keeps giving and i love it

I hope in my life I see a steady arsenal keeper. I never got to see Seaman, Lehmann (although being an invincible he had plenty of shaky moments), Almunia (just a poundland Lehmann), Szczęsny (started bright, thought he was the one but no), Fabianski (again a poundland Szczęsny), Leno (was good, probably the best keeper I've ever seen in my time but not good with his feet), Rambo (great moments but lacks concentration) and now Raya (despite having a lot of clean sheets but the defence and Rice have a lot to do with that is another shaky one)

Great game and kept heads at the end with some passing around and not loosing in last minute so well played ❤

As I have told in one of your earlier videos, this arsenal team is big with Reya being the shortest and the back 4 is all 6 feet +, and Rice and Partey are not short + Havertz. This is so similar to the invincibles, wherein we had a lot of tall players

Happy St Totteringham's Day Charles

Hey Charles, thanks for the videos, totally agree on your comment about Spurs fans abusing Saka and likely not Kane.

Listen up 🗣that was our 5th game, while spurs had over 2 weeks rest and preparation, we deserved to win & we gifted them their goals, there 1st shot on target was our error, end off. No Charles, we still need an ST because we need a bigger squad with top players like city, we need trophies! We move in hope 🙏 coygs

Hi Charles 🎉 I wanna say you are right about giving Raya a 5 & Declan 7 in your daily rating because for Declan his mistake wasn't avoidable while for Raya is was clearly avoidable because Declan didn't see tottenham defender he kicked inside the box but Raya clearly wasn't concentrating and was over confident with his left leg shoot which clearly wasn't goo enough. So please you are right with your first players ratings.. Cheers and keep up the good work

Charles, the problem I have is that there is no way Spurs are going out to beat City they would rather forego 4th place than us winning the league They are right about one thing they will stop us winning the league,not by beating us but rolling over against City

Charles hi, all the way from visit Rwanda, what i can say this season arsenal has realy improved if it was not arteta's miscalcution on villa's game thinking much of bayern, this trophy would be ours. So that is not the case now arsenal need to finish on high with 89points and add few players like neto if ghuimales from villa can come and a stricker then nxt season we need to pick poimts early. And avoid the same mistakes, lverpool lost epl to city with 1point difference and the n the nxt season it was theirs. So this season is a success.

Havertz is a beast. It is really a new role which he does. He plays so deep for a 9 and then recovers a lot. His workrate is astounding. Long live King Kai! Great anaylsis. 36 years! A huge feat. Vamos Arteta!. On a side note Trossard is a worry. I think he's burnt-out. Worth noting that Arteta (arguably) had the biggest re-build to do when becoming Arsenal's manager compared to the rivals.

Harsh for Trossard, deserves more

Since I wanted to watch the tears of the Spuds fans so I put on some spud’s fan videos. They think the goal rules outsides hit two Arsenal players and should have counted. They should have had the penalty shout. Whine whine whine!

Havertz performances have taken a new striker from a priority to a secondary concern, and that from a Xhaka replacement. Also, our defence has had so much praise this season, it caused me to momentarily forget Saliba's name. All that came to mind for a good few minitues was "Gabriel - Saliba".

2nd to City for 2 consecutive seasons is nothing to be ashamed about at all especially when Klopp is the Liverpool manager, we should be proud because this team still still isn't complete as yet. We still have to get rid of alot of players, Eddie, Nelson, Elneny, Sambi, Tavares, then we need to replace them with better quality players. We need 2 more quality midfielders, 1 more defender and a right winger...buying a striker is the least of our priorities

Love the scewed take on the Raya/Rice mistakes but nothing ever surprises me with the arsenal faithful but we move on. Why though i will never figure it out.

Hi Charles. I wonder about terms. It seems to me that the primary issue isn’t fitness. It’s the ability to withstand the battering. The physical punishment of playing the game we love. When I think of recovery I think of muscle soreness. When players think of recovery I do believe it’s much different. Just a thought. Thank you for the content. Rare if I miss it.

Kai is the reason we should just trust Arteta. How we managed to turn a chelsea flop into a class player is admirable

Hi, Charles! On your ratings: You say we played badly (or not that good), and then procede to give the team a 7,1 avg. Isnt that a bit off when you have said that a 6 is a «good» rating? Otherwise I mostly agree with your ratings week in week out. Love the shows, and lets go grab this title now. COYG!

I'm optimistic about our chances of winning the premiership this season, but it's disheartening that I don't anticipate Manchester City losing any points.

Congratulations to everyone, just realised I've watched & enganged in over 1,100 of your videos over the years, from tellmethisilltellyouthis to now nostraDANus. With the title race possibily going to the last day of the season, the added local spice of the 2nd last game must have Man United fans in a dilemma knowing their local rivals would set a new record of 4 titles in a row if United win or to get a Wiltorrrrrd esque feeling if they lose & with Tottenhams hopeful push for 4th place possibily helping The Arsenal go on to lift the trophy. Bournemouth first though & ideally to get a couple extra goals if similar to our recent 1st half goal talleys as City are only 7 off now with that game in hand too, unless Bernd Leno & Alex Iwobi have something to say about it. 🔴⚪️

Not sure I’m happy with Martinelli as a left back when he came on. Attack is the best form of defence and sweating it that much allowing them to pin us back for the last 20 mins is not the way to play. Shift Kai back towards defence and leave Martinelli pushed right up for the counter. Lost years off my life at the end of that game yesterday.

You can never have too many great players

Hi Charles Saka’s struggles this season have been a absence of Partey ..as a result, getting the ball to him after 3-4 passes from the back..usually Saliba/Gabriel >>Rice>>Odegaard then Saka ..by then the opposition has already doubled on him. With the return of Partey, TP passes to Saka longish ball, before opposition has had a chance to double on him.. Return of TP has also quickened our tempo..passes to front played quicker before opposition settled in defensive formation I wonder if Arteta could have taken a gamble v Villa and played TP..pull him off just after half time I hope we keep him next season. let Jorginho go..We can play Rice in absence of TP..then Zinny/Rowe on the left 8. Love ur show!! Katanda.

We know how Liverpool fans have felt for the best part of the last 7 years trying to overcome City. Next to impossible unless you are basically perfect

Dear Charles,It was a good result. Yet we need more options in close games and more players with that x factor when winning becomes improbable.

I still hear " it's charles watts the arsenal correspondant at goal" every time his videos start 😂

Greetings Charles. Great content as always. What's your take on this new spending cap approved by Prem Clubs for the 2025-2026 season? Is it a retrograde step to that which currently exists?

Arteta spot on with Havertz - a lot of us were wrong (thank goodness!)

Listen, one thing I have to disagree with is the rating you gave Ben White. Just the incident when he tried to undo Vicario’s glove was priceless, worth a 10 all day!! 😂😂😂

As soon as the season started to cook, so did Kai. He’s a big game player who’s been immense in this title race and fully deserves every bit of credit he’s getting. So happy for him and all of us. 60 million down the drain Kai Havertz scores again!

We got 3 points at 3 point lane. Still buzzing. #coyg. 😂

Your reasoning for bumping Raya up one, in your player ratings, only cements the reasons why I watch your channel. 👍🏽🙏🏽

I wonder what these fans would have said if we had lost and there reaction about Raya

London is red

Charles, you gave Raya 5 which is fair BUT when Ramsdale gave away a goal against Brentford at 1 nil you gave him a 6. Why? The bias is so obvious. Both performance were 5 or under.

with how well havertz is playing, do you think we’ll still sign isak? to me isak just looks like an Arsenal player and i would love to see him play for us. maybe he can play LW if needed? or is an out and out winger more important than a ST now?

Charles if Kai’s goal had not had Odegaard offside , Kai would got two goals and an assist.

Hey Charles, I think the Spuds deserve a lot of credit for how we played that first half yesterday. First 20 mins they didn't give our defense a second on the ball, trying to force errors but that forced us to sit in and catch them on the counter for the two goals... 2nd half was just, they couldn't get through us and we couldn't break on the counter. I was wishing the one or two times Havertz got out that it was Martineli instead just for the pace but a really good game to watch and to give Reya a bit of a break. Any keeper would be thrown off by Romero coming up for CB to press you. "Is that Romero" was definitely his last thought before he gave him the ball. 😂

There's a difference between losing the ball as a striker & a goalkeeper losing the ball/making an error seeing as a goalkeeper's error probably leads to a goal.

I have no problem with Rice's error. If Raya doesn't put us under pressure then Rice probably doesn't have to make that challenge.

About time we played average and still won the game

I think 5 for Raya was fair. I agree other than the mistake he had a good game, but that mistake changed the whole trajectory of the game. We very much could have drew a game that was won at 3-0 off the back of that mistake. That has to be taken into consideration. COYG!

"Trumpeters on the roof".. lol

Charles, Raya contributed more than Rice. Think about it

I think you've been very generous to Odegaard. I thought he was dreadful by his recent standard. He was very poor on the ball and made some awful passes.

Hi Charles. Is it not hugely arrogant of us to think that Spurs players and fans would go into the City game putting our failure ahead of their success. If they need points in that game to get UCL, they will absolutely be focused on that above what that might mean for Arsenal. They won’t even have any more games to catch up with Villa after that one so it will be massive for them. John.

Whats craziest about City is that they keep those insanely high standards season after season

Hi Charles ! Do you think that, given Havertz's performances as a striker might reshape Arteta and Edu's plans for the summer ? I'm convinced they will go all in for a top class striker, but where would that leave Jesus ? I think there is an opportunity to push Jesus on the right wing where he could be a great back-up for Saka. That would leave us with two very good options on the right and up front, and could save a lot of cash to get one or two top class midfielders ! What are your thoughts ?

Charles, in the log, there's no "comments" column...there's a reason for that😂 3 more finals to go...COYG 💪‼

C'mon VAR, Rice did get the ball clean, in fact two balls... just ask Davies 😂😂

Just to add one more comment we had the best keeper in the league in Martinez how did we sell him absolute madness

Hope one day, when the season is over, you could do an episode on the master of the dark arts. Benny Blanco.

I think we have to root for Spurs to be in the hunt for top four in the final week when they have the make up match with Man City. Right now they are 7 back of Villa but with 2 games at hand. But they have a tough schedule upcoming.

Come on! Raya made that mistake when he was under no pressure. Although he was excellent afterwards that performance is a 4 or 5 at best.

Charles , I know those Fulham and Aston Villa games are going to come back to bite us . We have to best teams we can beat . I suppose the title chase means you don’t lose but can draw .

Raya also cost us the tie against Bayern.

Still need a striker. If Kai gets injured, we're back to relying on just Jesus, who might also be injured.

With you even if Declan plays rubbish he doesn’t get below 7. There is some bias towards Rice

I saw him scamper up the stairs to the back of the stand talk about feeling an idiot

North London is red. Not a great game football wise for us but 3 points at this stage of the season to the London trumpeters was epic. I think however Ange is going to take the city game seriously though. His pre NLD interview suggests that Spuds should be concentrating more on where they finish in the league rather than spend time preoccupied on their more illustrious neighbors. Just something to think of as we approach these final couple games

Could I just point out…… Odegaards knee caps!!! WTF?????🤪

The guy with the long hair looks like Weird Al Jankowicz 🙂

It wasn’t one of our greatest matches, we did not dominate, we made terrible mistakes but we were lucky in scoring unexpected goals!

4 points from spurs,4 points from man city 4 points from iverpool 4 points from chelsea & maybe 6 from man u,a good season.

Havertz has been good, but to label anyone else than Odegaard the driving force is just not right

Big WIN aside, ending our run of 600 minutes of clean sheets at the toilet bowl is repulsive, though somehow befitting the place

I think City are going to drop point in the unlikeliest of places. I also noticed all through the season, Arsenal has won more games than City, that's a very high standards for next season. Might just get over the 90 points mark.

Hello Charles, Is it true that Forest has requested the Premier League to open an investigation into Chris Wood for match fixing against City?

It's all good. City should hopefully be in the Championship within the next couple of seasons, so as long as we keep this form up, we won't have to worry about trying to beat those cheaters.
