I'll make sure and not cock up getting tickets this time! For those that need to get into ballots etc timings are above, good luck!!

CAT A game and no away fans apparently* (not sure where than info came from so pinch of salt and all that) so might be a full house and best chance to get a chumps league ticket.

*ETA Bayern Munich supporters threw fireworks onto the pitch during their 3-0 second-leg win against Lazio earlier this month which saw UEFA take action.

Yeah I've had no luck with ballots, I haven't even got a reply to say 'no' lately. so perhaps i should check that something isn't amiss?

I get the no emails when i apply for the family enclosure with my lad.

If anyone on here is selling tickets please let me know. or even if you know of a decent place to get them above the market price i don't mind. Want to take my boy to his first game but having no luck and would prefer family enclosure.

Presume you check the Ticket Exchange after ballots (although not sure if the bots all hoover these up despite "crack downs")

Think the family enclosure is going next year but allowing discount for youngsters tickets instead.

I've taken mine from very young age when mate couldn't use his ticket, never bothered with family enclosure and even where we stand in North Bank lower isn't an issue as kids stand on chairs/ sit on the backs etc without worrying if safe etc (just get them to agree not to repeat some of the chants ).

Yes check the exchange but never even seen a sniff of a ticket on there.

I'll take my boy regardless if i can but family enclosure would be nice for first time. I've entered ballot for family enclosure and normal ballot with a mate for Bayern.

Would be nice to get to one game this year at least. I live in Wales so it's bloody expensive by the time, travel, ticket and hotel are factored in

Will keep fingers crossed.

Have you tried contacting the official Welsh fan groups, see if can help?

Our own little chilli with his new ad for his Nandos peri peri Saka sauce lol

[TikTak]

Haha bit of fun. Probably sell pretty well, especially in north London. Hopefully he doesn't go full Rashford and get distracted by the world out there.

Also Tomi signs. I know we all knew it was pretty certain but official now. Hopefully he can put some injury woes behind him.

White, Timber, Tomi and Zin. Pretty savage set of full backs when they're fit tbh.

[Carl_VivaEspana]

that's great news.

[Radec]

At least we are keeping the medical staff busy for the next few years, extending the constantly injured players contracts

[Richonenope]

Don’t forget the family ticket exchange is different - you need to send a message via the link on the webpage https://familyenclosuretx.arsenal.com/support/tick...

Saka withdraws from the England camp with injury.

Let's hope it's just precautionary instead of something serious.

Thank you I have messaged them, wouldn’t be able to apply this year by the looks of it.

Also to the poster above I’ve apply for the family ballot via email also.

My cousin used to work for arsenal, got laid off the same time as gunnersaurus. So have checked yo see if they’ve still got any contacts.

Last resort may be tout site for the Luton game, late kick off though so not sure if it’s the best one to take my 4 year old but it is half term

Glad this happened. Nice to see Arsenal starting to partake in the dark arts.

Tired of seeing our players get beasted on International duty, while a dozen players from City/United/Liverpool are all "injured" and then on the team sheet for their club the following week.

He doesn't seem the type to me that would feign injury , He seems an honourable ambitious young man even after the awful abuse he received after missing an important penalty ,

Covered your under-18's this morning for the second time in a month or so as they beat Fulham 5-2 at London Colney. Very young Fulham, most of their under-18's are in the USA playing in a tournament so think it was a lot of their under-16's.

Chido Obi Martin will take the headlines for his four goals that goes with the four he scored against Crystal Palace recently but my man of the match was Max Dowman. Blimey, what a talent he is already and it's frightening how good he might get. He was only 14 on New Years Eve but he doesn't look out of place in the u18's and got four assists today. Very like Odegaard in his style of play, foppy hair, left footed predominantly but incredible.

Am sure you guys already know about him but heads up from someone that has seen him live, wow!!

[leglessAlex]

That’s interesting! Our academy has been pretty good to us recently, I think especially compared to a lot of the other top 6, we have a fair amount of home grown players it feels.

Nervous about today. I really desperately want the win, but it’s going to be a high tension game for both teams.

[Carl_VivaEspana]

weather is warm, lager is cold, let's go!

[CharliesTTS]

Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Jesus, Havertz

Thanks GM it's difficult with Academy, we have seen so many "new Henry/ Vieira" etc that there's usually little coverage/ belief until linked with City, released or prof contracts...

Feels like a solid, almost defensive approach to a starting line up, be interested to see if Jesus can be the disrupter of old or just hobble off after 20 mins given he's rusty and that knee keeps haunting him.

That subs bench only Martinelli or Trossard is going provide any change if approach to more attacking, which actually usually pushes the other teams back a little, I worry we'll sit back first half just trying to frustrate Citeh, which rarely works.

I feel a little nauseous!

ETA Pool getting the win earlier adds to the pressure...very nauseous!!
