Lads I've had a complaint about the use of the term "Argie *******" so I've deleted a couple posts.

Can we please not use racial or nationality based abuse. Thanks.

I read it as Augie, so thought it was absolutely fine

I read it as these posters had been banned for using racist abuse. Oh.

Read what they wrote and then read what you wrote and see if you can spot the difference.

It was racism. Why did you delete it if it wasn’t? Why did it attract complaints? Two tier Kier has made it to the Gooner. #clique:

It was minor compared to the brainless racist shit you posted, village bullshitter. They were warned. What you posted was so disgusting I really should have given you a permanent ban.

If I'm Starmer you are Donald Trump.

I hate racist slurs and it's a shame that our toothless simpleton with hair on his cheeks has to put down his pint of Beamish and stop making bombs to deal with it all. Poor fella will never finish tarmacking my drive either so cut it out will you !

Hey you married her/him. No point complaining now!

[DB10GOONER]

That could be a scene from The Village.

[Retro Gunner]

Only just watched it. Couldn’t see it in real time, so recorded it and avoided the score. Haven’t read the thread, so apologies if I plagiarise opinions.

Absolute pony game and the first 60 mins particularly painful. Got the win but that shouldn’t disguise how poor we were and if Watkins takes even one of his two chances, then we lost that game.

We’ll win fuck all with two complete donkeys like Havertz and Partey in the side. Havertz offers absolutely nothing up front and is technically barely Championship level. A for Partey, I know he scored (dreadful goalkeeping btw) but he’s not even bang average.

One of the worst performances I’ve seen from Rice, although better in the last 20 mins when things opened up.

I’ve been a huge fan of Martinelli since day one, but it’s getting ever more difficult to mount a defence of him. Very poor today and where is the young player that had us all on the edge of our seats? He seems to have lost all confidence. I suspect that the swashbuckling, cavalier attacking attitude has been drilled out of him by Arteta, but that’s just my suspicion.

It’s now very hard to deny Trossard a starting place. I’ve rated him since his Brighton days and he’s the most natural finisher we’ve got and he’s earned the right to start ahead of Martinelli for the next couple of games. Was he our leading scorer last season despite rarely stating a game?

Anyway, 3 points, but that’s about the only positive from the performance. Need to improve dramatically for the big games on the horizon, but that lack of a striker is gonna kill us.

[General]

That Rogers is like a freight train. Rice needs to keep an eye on him. Would go with him and Jorgs in midfield. Partey’ is nearly 40 and his legs are gone.

I called it. He run Rice and Partey rugged. Absolute steal at £8m

Nothing more to say today mate. Listening to a song at the moment that really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday - give you a clue....its not Enya or the other one. Bald chap

[rodders999]

The narrative that Arteta has coached the goodness out of Martinelli must be one of the most bizarre takes ever on here and that’s saying something!

I know there’s people that don’t like the manager but what do we think Arteta did here? Pull Martinelli aside at training one day and tell him to stop burning the full back, driving in to the box scoring goals and creating chances for others?

Whatever you do, don’t do that. Instead every time you have space in behind, turn around and pass it backwards, run the ball out of play or sling in a cross that’s 20 yards over hit.

So if Arteta is to blame for Martinelli’s form going off a cliff he’s to be given credit for any player that’s doing well then I take it. He’s coached the good play into those guys. The 5 players that got in to the PFA team of the season during the week - that was all Arteta’s doing that.

Do you know how bat shit that sounds? Yeah, equally as bat shit as saying he’s coached the good play out of Martinelli.

Martinelli’s form has tanked, it can happen young players. His confidence is no doubt in the shitter but the hope is he can rediscover it. One great run and finish might be enough to spark it and hopefully it comes but for now he should be nowhere near the starting 11.

[BobbyPires7]

Solid win. Progress from last season if we are not dropping points.

[Redarmy]

Great win, looked under pressure for large periods of the game...but kept a clean sheet...

Trossard obviously pissed off.....hopefully will get more game time now

Some great saves by Raya...incredible save by him at almost point blank range.....but still think as hes short hes vulnerable to someone chipping him

always going to be a tough game....villa will give all the top teams trouble at home

SALIBA what a fuckin tackle he made....the pace he showed...hes world class

But you are being objective Rodders and not being driven by a personal agenda to slate the manager who is making those who loudly proclaimed he would be an utter disaster look foolish and even more foolish for not being man enough to admit they were wrong.

We all slagged Wenker for his myopic, narcissistic attitude, yet it is on here in abundance, if you don’t toe the party line.

[IW8Goalmachine]

What a save from Raya.

I can't stop watching it.

Unreal.
