Any words of wisdom from Shit for Brains MK II yet?
Floaty ball? Little bit handbrake? Win on xG? Blame the ref (who was as biased towards us as I've ever seen)? Need to find solutions in both boxes? Some shit about transitions to sound intelligent? Unbelievable bad luck with injuries despite only one first choice player out (two at best)? Special circumstances 2025 edition?
Allow me SteveO
Arteta: Incredible how you dont win that game, to sum up. The dominance, the superiority in relation to the opposition and everything we did to try and win the game.
Ah, I see….is that a bit like the old “illusory dominance”.
Mkll has learnt well. Needs to learn how to fucking sign on.
Saka has basically carried this team for the past few years (and made Arteta look a lot better than he actually is) Arteta now completely exposed and his luck has run out.
I still fail to see similarities with Wenger.
Wenger was always able to pull out a result and hang on in there - with Arteta this could be a full on collapse
Odegaard is out of form because we aren't cruising games by 3 or 4 goals. When that happens again - which it will as soon as are 15 points behind, and out of the CL and Carabao Cup - he'll suddenly look good again
Another soft as shit player who can't lead the team forward. We have plenty. There's a good reason Real Madrid cast him aside after a few years - hasn't got it
Wrong. End of last season we went 14 W 1D 1 L. Most were not thrashings. Odegaard stood up. He was the difference. Since December he’s been pony. Why?
Wrong??!!!
Who the fuck do you think you are? My headmaster from 40 years ago? You've got an opinion, I've got mine. Do one
The bloke’s a wum. Had a taste of it a few days ago and after a round of misrepresentations and straw man arguments, decided to ignore his “fishing” posts. Allowed myself to get drawn in after the game today as a result of sitting here fuming.
Oh, btw, can we make sure that every player we sign has a clause in his contract saying that his old woman can’t get pregnant.

In Wenger's last 13 years, we won 3 FA Cups and he went 9 years without anything. In that period of not winning anything we bottled it whenever it mattered - Bradford away, Birmingham in the final, limpdicked leaderless football with no natural captain, always a couple of players away and ridiculously blind/stubborn. That's the period we are in now

Thanks for the heads up. Been a while since we had one i suppose. Add to the list with Monostich and Red Member....sadly without the comedy value in this instance

I’lll put forward an opinion when I know you’ve made out Odegaard only plays well in drubbings. Simply not true pal.

I always liked Red Member. As you say, there was a tongue in cheek, humorous edge to his posts. Didn’t have the bad faith, smart arse aspect that this joker’s got.
The comparisons to last season are there to see. It was the Xmas period where Nketiah and Jesus fluffed their lines and our illuisonary dominations over West Ham and Fulham reaped zero points, we effectively threw the league away through lack of striker, and followed it up with Liverpool beating us at home in the FA Cup
Same shit, same problem as before, same manager, same trophyless outcome, same leaderless team
Asked Mikel Arteta if following his comments in the pre-match presser where he seemed to hint that significant business is unlikely this month whether his view personally is that the squad is strong enough or if that's the club's position:
He said: "No. It's the reality right now. We are not close to anything and we're focused on the players that we have. The club is always working and we're always working to try and improve our team but it has to be possible with our resources and with players that can make us better."

Sorry I take it all back
I can see you did offer an opinion, my mistake. Apparently it's because his wife had a baby
