With a decent front line we would be winning trophies. As it is, we look like bridesmaids.
Have to weigh in with some goals from midfield too. How our captain can sit there with 1 goal is unacceptable and none of the other midfielders weighing in with goals too. Just not enough goal threat throughout the team. Gabriel is the man most likely at the moment !
FFS steveo he's just had a kid he can't be expected to score too!

Awful miss from Odegaard tonight but he did look a little back to his old self in general play which is welcome. Hopefully he can get back amongst the goals because we need our attacking players to start to bang again.
He was better and commentators said as much but he did have the freedom of the pitch to operate in. No other team will give him that time and space as this scum team.

With the cost of the new stadium and them plodding about in the relegation zone they must be in the shitter financially surely.
Still not got a naming deal on the toilet.

Can't be long before they have to start fiddling the books again. Imagine spending all that fucking money on a shitheap of a ground to be battling relegation. Thought they were one of the big boys and were desperate to be taken seriously but the reality soon dawned and their back to where they always will be, down the bottom of the league scrapping for points off the Southamptons and Leicesters of this world. Absolutely fucking hilarious and roll on the bankruptcy. :D

Tonight was the perfect storm - did the double over those relegation zone dwelling cùnts and showed again for the millionth time why we need a striker at the club.

A few Spuds mates on our WhatsApp group absolutely raging about his game plan and just chucking on attacking players rather than looking to keep it tight and try and nick an equaliser. They think he’s tactically brainless. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Who next? Big Sam to avoid relegation?

I can't say I blame them! One of my biggest criticisms of Wenger was that whether we were home to Lincoln or away to Barcelona he played the same formation and the same wide open style. It was the reason why the old c.unt oversaw some of the biggest hammerings we've ever suffered. This Fat Aussie Prick is just the same - watching them concede 6 in that home game against Liverpool playing a high line with 18 year old midfielders at centre half was prime Wenger. If we had a striker or midfielder capable of hitting a cows arse with a banjo it would have been six or more tonight too

Postenoclue a few of them have been calling him....long may it continue :D

Once his sleep has settled down and he’s not doing night feeds he will be back to his best. :barscarf:

Tonight will tell us a lot.

Whether Diet Pep has the cajones to find a way to beat a shite scum team... :rubchin:

The reaction in the ground if we lose... :rubchin:

The reaction if we win... "there's only one ArsenTeta".... :rubchin:

The tool doesn't have the credit in the bank and I think the flipfloppers may get off of the AKB train

Sadly apathy will strike first :(

0-0 bore draw incoming

Yes, an interesting evening awaits. I’m strangely ambivalent, but as I’ve said previously, I’m now in the “don’t give a fuck zone”, where I spent comfortably 8 yrs under the Old Fraud. That said, this is the one I can’t bear to lose.

I’m in Bella Italia for a couple of days, supposedly for business, but mainly looking at women and dining well. :lol: Anyway, I’ll be late to the result party, as it’s impossible to get a signal in the restaurant I’ll be in. I wonder what surprise will await when I emerge and check my phone? This place might well be alight. :lol:

By the way Nick, I’m afraid that I’m stealing that “ArsenTeta” term. Quality. :barscarf:
Hi Retro....where abouts in Italy are you?

Hi RA 2, I’m in Florence.

Just got back to my room and checked the result. Haven’t yet read the match thread, but had started to do so and saw your post.

I’d looked for the result on the BBC website and glanced at the match report before looking at the forum. Seems we won with an og ftom a corner and a bobbly shot from Trossard that the keeper should have saved.

I trust the views of the boys on the OG (well, most of them :D ) so as I’m an hour in front of you lot, I’ll try to read it all tomorrow.

Going to bed with a warm fuzzy feeling in my underpants. You can’t beat the glow of a victory in a NLD.

Going to sleep with a smile on my face tonight and already forward to waking up in the morning and those first few glorious seconds when reality hits and my mind reminds me we beat the c.unts AGAIN :barscarf:

This is where Declan rice should be all over pitch taking command. He's not.
Looks absolutely fucked like the rest of them. We look cooked in so many games this season. Really lacking energy.
I wonder how well his broken toe has recovered and whether it's still troubling him ?

Either he's not as good as we thought or he's being killed in training. I think it's both. He isn't a paddy. But no where near level of last season. Tactics and tiredness due to manager are the issues I think.

Deccers talking bllx. Kai is utter liability tourists might cheer. He has faith in our strikers. Loser mentality.
Surely you know he ain’t gonna coat him off? What do you think he’d say -
“Yeah, all of us think he’s shit but who else have we got?”
This ^^

Some comments on here are cringey as fuck

We took advantage when all around us drew, that's a rarity.
Pleased with the win.

Our finishing is diabolical. It's like someone said earlier, we're cursed or something.
Love ya Midz but mate I have to amend that...


We don't have 'Finishing'... :D :wink:
