Just back from a rare opportunity to get to a game these days and what a game to get to! Atmosphere was top drawer from the kick off. Said to my mate who got me the ticket, this was either gonna be a disappointing 1-2 defeat or one of those historical nights in Gooner history! And it turned out to be the latter. Kiwior was dodgy for the first 20 minutes, but apart from that, every player was top drawer! One for the memory that will stick for a long time. And where has Rice been for all those free kicks that don’t amount to anything. Hope they keep showing those two as much as we see Roberto Carlos’ one and only great free kick. Absolutely buzzing, f*ck work tomorrow, I’m on the rum while I watch it all again.
COYG!!!!!
:barscarf: :lol:

I'll match your rum with my wine, you're right those free kicks were sublime and I'll watch them a few times more for sure.

Apparently we haven't scored a direct free kick since 2021 :shock:

Some posters would rather The Arsenal lose just so they can say "I told you so"

Sad

Fucking unbelievable. Can’t remember the last time I was buzzing like this. What a performance.

The two free kicks from Rice were out of this world. I didn’t think he had that in him, but in fairness, he’s never shown that before. Cracking performance from the whole team, although I was moaning about Merino, who wasn’t playing well imo and then he scores a really good goal. Took it first time and guided it inside the post…no time for the keeper to set himself.

A special mention for Partey, who I’ve been slating for 3 years, demanding he be sold. Best game I’ve seen him have for us. A little slip near the end when he reverted to form and gave the ball away putting us under, but he played really well.

I don’t want to put a negative spin on things, but if we had the striker we all know we need, then it’s 2-0 at half time and probably 5 or 6-0 at the end.

Still, can’t ask for much more than going to Madrid 3-0 up.

Some have said on this forum that we overpaid for Rice and they couldn’t be more wrong. Forget the goals, he’s the real heartbeat of this team but because a lot of what he does is unglamorous people turn their noses up at him. 20years ago, a player like him would be an Man United under Fergie and we wouldn’t have had a sniff. We haven’t had such a gifted all around athlete in midfield since PV4.

Where is Augie ?
Of course he has nothing to say as Arsenal have achieved there best result ever at the Emirates.
He has the hump, doesn’t suit his daft agenda.
He has been the secretary of the Fox and Hounds in Cork, which seems to qualify him to critic all things Arsenal.
All these people that post like him are so detached from the people that actually go.

You’re either inebriated or trolling.

https://x.com/BBCSport/status/1909547410780463325
Theres a respect and dignity policy on the forum, Im going to adhere to it here and say no more.
Sorry to bruise your ego, you did mention pub. The world has gone woke and we need to get back to calling people out on their foolishness.

Statistically we are ranked 3rd favourites. What do you say to this or are you going to continue to cling onto your doom and gloom outlook?

It will be interesting to see how this debate ages. Only 8 days to wait.

I'm under no illusion of the task at hand.
I'm not a blind follower or a cultist as DB likes to jab at me from arm's length whilst keeping his head below the parapet.
But I never understand this routine wave of negativity before games. Sure the team has well documented deficiencies but it’s a cup competition and we’ve shown we can compete hence qf berth. Some seem more interested in being proven right than seeing the team thrive
"as DB likes to jab at me from arm's length whilst keeping his head below the parapet"?

:coffeespit:

Not every sweeping comment is about you. Get over yourself ffs. :oops: :lol:

If you think anything you have to say worries me in the slightest you must be deranged. :lol: But I certainly won't stand by while you take a swipe during an argument I'm not part of.

Your record of disingenuous argument on literally dozens of occasions and borderline WUMing on a few occasions on here (as complained about by several posters) is enough for me to ban you under the forum rules any time I want.

I've noticed you've eased off a bit on the disingenuous arguing of late, and I've always given people enough rope to either hang themself or turn it round, but you are literally on your last chance here. If you destroy one more thread by constantly shifting the goal posts of your argument, or posting to provoke a negative reaction, or using any other WUM tactics, as you have done many times previously, you will be gone.

So honestly, think about it, if I was worried in the slightest about you, don't you think I'd have banned you by now? God knows you've given me enough reason. :roll: :lol:

Note, that last comment you posted (in red) is a WUM comment. And honestly only an idiot would believe that.

You don't get to question the credibility or loyalty of any member on here.

If anything it's you that runs off and stops posting on certain threads after you've been proven completely wrong or been asked a genuine question you cannot answer because you know it kills your argument. There are numerous examples of this all over the forum. You never ever hold your hand up and say "ok sorry I got that one wrong" - unlike the vast majority of posters on here.

Lads, with respect, that is fucking nonsense. :oops: I'm really surprised at both of you. You've been on here so long I thought you both knew better than that. Not sure why we can't enjoy a historic and brilliant win without turning on other members?
