They've slowed the game down to the pace they want us to play at... ie: The Never score in a thousand years pace.

shit atmosphere for an FA cup game...
Usual shit 5 mins before half time. Half empty as everyone goes to get a pint of lukewarm piss and some congealed pizza

That was just poor. Poor and not entirely unexpected.

This is all on Arteta, he wants to play this slow slow, possession/control based game. He says it in press conferences. Arsenal will struggle to win any game playing this way. :roll:

Absolute pile of crap….again.

Looks like we won’t be seeing Odegaard for the 2nd half. Almost no creativity with him in the side, but there’ll be less than none with him gone. Jorginho and Merino :roll: .

And so fucking boring to watch too, honestly.

We half joke about being like Stoke but it honestly feels true now. Pray for a corner and all the play in between set pieces as tedious as fuck

Diving and then throwing a boot, then pulling the ref on the arm. Three bookings. As far as I can remember from Petit all those years ago, you "can't put your hands on the ref".
Had it been one of ours he would be in the bath

Useless as a player even worse as also-called pundit... Thick as Shit and Twice as Smelly.

Teams have worked it all out and you just need to either flood your own box when we have possession out wide or stick men in the middle to break up play. We have no creativity, no pace and rely on set pieces or one great ball. Even then, we fuck up the finishing. We're right back to where we were in 2008-18, decent players rather than great, poor management and lacking players in the right positions. Actually, thinking about that, we seem to refuse to get the players for the positions we need. It's not fucking good enough.

All the possession and no goal to show for it is fairly standard, the only surprise is that we haven’t conceded from the only time they crossed the half way line.

No doubt that’s what will happen second half.

Like when the granny stagger used to call refs cûnts and barge into them, it's all a laugh when that team do it.

I'm hoping we get some sort of miracle in the 2nd half but this is exactly where we are at, just nothing creative in midfield and zero control or movement up front, an absolute horror show again :(
