As soon as Kiwior got skinned by Sane a few times you could see that this side had crumbled. Because it meant Zinchenko was back in the side and the solid defensive base was a smouldering wreck. Arteta’s inexperience has become relevant again and he’s made all the wrong choices. Zinchenko should be...

Points dropped in 2024: Arsenal - 5pts Man City - 6pts Liverpool - 7pts City are bottling it. Pep needs to be fired. :lol: Earlier I made a post on the Villa match thread and I hadn't read today's posts on this thread, but this is exactly what I was referring to... a typically goading, passive aggr...

I was obviously typing that when ATID's post went up. Great minds and all that.

First loss in 10. This seems very apt today with the reaction ‘If you can't support us when we lose or draw, don't support us when we win” ― Bill Shankly I've warned you before about the WUMing. That post is a complete WUM post to try and provoke a negative reaction from lads on here that have supp...

Fully agree with the above. I've been questioning Arteta's thinking for ages. - Tierney on loan (surely a more reliable option to the /Citeh cast off) - Raya a better keeper than England's number 2? Not in my book - Being praised for getting rid of Aubameyang having battled for months to keep him (...

In one sense I’m finding it hard to get angry, we won 9 and drew 1 of the last 10 before yesterday and all that did was put us in a position where if we won 8 more in a row we’d win the league. 17 wins and a draw from the last 18 and the title is yours lads. Piece of piss. City are just fucking exh...

Re keepers - he might be a bit of a knobhead at times, but Martinez is 6ft 4ins tall and Raya is 6ft zero. The taller you are, the more space you cover upwards and sideways. Why you rely on a short GK at the top level is beyond me. Raya's wonderful 'distribution' hardly compensates and he worries m...

Balls all around the pitch, except where there are needed. Every goal kick today meant a little detour for Martinez to the edge of the penalty box to collect a ball from a cone which he would bring across to the other side of the goal area. Likewise no cones for balls near corner flags. Hmmm....so ...

Just read the in game thread. As furious as I am, the one thing that kept me going through the last 10 years of Wenger was this place (i used to read the forum long before I joined) and the boys on here....with notable exceptions, who seem to be absent today....are far more knowledgeable about the g...

Got exactly what we deserved. Haven't read the thread since kick off, but said just beforehand that Arteta woud cost us by playing his favourites as soon as they are fit. Jesus, Havertz and fucking Zinchenko. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: How the fuck did he leave Zinchenko on for he full game?? ...

Arteta and his favourites. Jesus, Zinchenko and, of course, Havertz. He’s always shown a predilection for dropping Martinelli and now that Jesus if fit, he’s going to squeeze both him and Havertz in. Martinelli and Trossard (yes I know he’s starting) should always be in front of Jesus and Havertz. M...

Farteta will have his eyes on Munich next week A very dangerous thing to be doing imo we need to concentrate fully on this and look to Munich at fulltime. Absolutely. 8) The CL is fine and all but I'd fuck it away tomorrow to win the PL. We shouldn't even be in a "Champions" league ffs, w...

Ben White is 20 times better inverting so we should just play a LB who can actually defend!! Not having a pop at you here TeeCee but God and baby Jeebus I am sick of the fucking term "inverted". :banghead: :cussing: :censored: It's a fucking full back that drifts in when we go forward! Be...

Out of the country and didn’t see the game. Haven’t had a chance to read the thread either.

How was it. BBC report wasn’t complimentary, apparently lacked any real zip and fluidity and looked shaky at the back…is that correct?

At least we’re still in it and no away goals rule.

Arsenal team is out. Four changes: Nelson, Partey, Smith Rowe and Trossard out. In come Jesus, Jorginho, Rice and Saka. High time Jesus did something in a game and mark. Bloke has been a waste of space imo. Wouldn't be at all sorry to see him off-loaded in the summer, but he's a favourite of the bo...
