Post by falkirk goon »

Next up after tonights bottle job against the mancs it's this shower of filthy bastarts at ours.We don't do bad results in isolation and I expect dropped points here :cry: out of the title v Brighton out of the carabao v the barcodes out of the cup v the 10 man mancs..I think this will be 1-1 or 1-2 if we can score from a set piece.

We're losing this too

Our incredible leaders Gabriel and Saliba shit the bed against Zirkzee and Amad so heaven help us here

Dan Burn and Harry Maguire have been made to look like Beckenbauer and Moore in the last 2 games. Archie Gray and Dragusin to look like Maldini and Cannavaro next up

Got 0-0 or 1-1 written all over it. I imagine it will be Havertz, Martinelli and Trossard up front with Sterling coming on during the second half.
Scum are fucking shit and if we don't win this and win this well, there'll be more pressure on the club.

A centre back will get one and the second will either be an OG or a deflection.

They’ll score 2 from their 3 attempts on target all game.

Remember how many absolutely turgid 0-0 draws we sat through from 2008 to about 2015/6? When teams turned up happy to play for a point and we created nothing? Yep, that's what's going to happen here and for a long time to come. We'll have plenty of space and all the possession but will create fucking nothing as we try those reverse passes inside the box, the curling cross to the far post that never works or the chipped pass to a player with four defenders round him 15 yards out.

In Wenger's last season, we went from Christmas to the final day of the season without winning an away game until finally we beat relegated Huddersfield 1-0. That run contained some of the most insipid, slow paced, predictable boring football known to man. We'd literally become the easiest team to play against, hence the continual singing of "Arsene Wenger, we want you to stay" at grounds up and down the country. We are right back there now. The football is mind numbingly boring. We used to joke on here about rather clearing out our sock drawer or painting the fence at the weekend than watch this shite, and it's how I feel again now. I'm back to dreading games and waiting for the season to be over. I'm back to hating giving up 2-3 hours of precious weekend time to be bored senseless and getting annoyed.

This c.unt needs to go soon because the next stage of what's about to happen isn't good. Firstly our best players get itchy feet - Saliba will go first and others will follow. Then the fan base become toxic and apathetic all at once. Seen this all before. Wenger was allowed to kill us - Maureen followed by Klopp, Pep and even also rans like Rodgers pulled his pants down and we slipped further and further away from contention year by year.

I might be wrong but I don't think we won an away game in that entire final season, except for that final one? I remember that last 1-0 away win......Wenger's final game...an absolute love in covering up what was another dismal season.

As for Arteta saying how much he loves his players and that they couldn't do more? Well if that's as good as it gets then we should really expect nothing from here on out. Does he think the CL is going to be easier? In fact we'll be out of that soon as well, and then the main, and only target remaining, will be top 3.

Sound familiar?

If you look back over his tenure RG the minute and second we've bumped into any sort of quality/big name side/pressure game we've mostly fucked it :cry: Top4 will be a trophy :barscarf: I wonder if the players will do a lap of honour at Soton on the last day :oops:

I wish we didn't have Tottenham on Wednesday: it is a lose/lose game.

Nobody ever enjoys losing to that lot - it is a horrible feeling.

But if we beat them the sugar-rush of euphoria will disproportionately mask the crisis engulfing our club.

I honestly believe that beating and finishing higher than Tottenham more often than not during the depressing last ten years of the Wenger era was instrumental in his continually getting a free pass with the sheep among the fanbase which in turn meant the board kept allowing him to continue dragging us down. I really can't stomach history repeating itself with this clown.

I honestly believe it was regularly beating Tottenham during the depressing last few years of the Wenger era that saved his bacon. I really can't stomach history repeating itself with this clown.
I hope we win but it's really telling that a game against theses cùnts isn't exciting for me. We are a horrendous watch at the moment and even our corner routine isn't working the way it was so the idea of watching a bunch of Denilsons passing it sideways and backwards isn't exactly appealing. I think we may aswell hope for a win as there is zero pressure coming on Arteta regardless of what happens here :cry:
