Arsenal (h) pre-match thread - 17/06/2020

I will watch it but I’m so un excited I haven’t even bothered to have a wank today

I think some city fans on here need to find a new hobby as this modern football really isn’t for them.

I know it’s far from ideal it will be my first game missed in a few years..but the players and club are up for it and want to play, it’s a sign that things might be on the first stage of getting back to normal in the world, and it’s a chance to have a few beers and watch the blues after feck all being on tele for 3months so if you can’t get just a little bit excited for that then like I see Maybe this modern football ain’t for you.

Still having hundreds dying from covid19, many still not returned to work or seen loved ones.

So being un interested in what is in essence a forced return to football to appease the money men/media mainly in this country we can be excused wit this lack of interest.

My brothers an Arsenal fan, todays game we would usually both be winding each other up etc. Guess what? Neither of us are remotely interested in tonight

If this is the future of 'modern football' then you're bang on

My two penneth worth. Not interested for one main reason, this restart isn't the premier league.

This restart with a break after 25 minutes to clean the ball, 5 subs, no fans, subs 2 metre apart with mask on , than onto the pitch no mask and no 2 metres. This restart is a joke.

Yes I want City to win am I that bothered no, would normally be get abit nervous and excited as ko comes round. At the moment really not bothered.

This is the first real time I have felt like this, to me us match going fans have just been mugged of.

I mean I dont even know what time ko is !

The crowd noise will be set at 2 for city’s remaining home games and the rags and scousers will be at 10.

You’re close with that, as stated except for the scousers where they will use 11, à la Spinal Tap.

Remember, it means more...

I really can't get excited as I don't agree with finishing the season

I watch all our pre-season games so I will watch this,once I see the lads i am sure I will perk up

 

[ws01]

Anyone know what those black screen/boxes are that have been setup behind the goals?

 

[give it to gordon]

To me it to play without fans feels like a punishment for fans behaviour, I feel we have been screwed over by the money men. Us matching going fans arent needed any more :(

 

[G-Star Medium Rare]

It really is pointless to re start the Prem and as others have said puts players at risk unnecessarily, just because someone on the Prem Board forgot to take out insurance and or insist on a force majeure clause in the contracts with the TV companies. I would really like to see us win the FA Cup again but no doubt the Chumps League will be fixed as it would be too embarrassing for eufa if we won it and thus automatically qualified for next season whilst they have being trying to ban us.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Gonna watch it to see what it is like. But as others have said this whole restart thing is a total joke.

Not excited or at least any nerves about the game.

Just watching the build up on sky now and they seem to think this was what the public were crying out to happen for it to be restarted

You must hate the away games that you can’t attend in person.

Not in the slightest. Professional football (and pro sport, in general) without fans is a hollow experience, from what I’ve witnessed on tv.

I’ve not watched any so far and doubt I’ll watch any games that aren’t involving City. But I’ll not miss any City games.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Anyone know what those black screen/boxes are that have been setup behind the goals?

I reckoned either the VAR screens or the screens showing the photos/videos of fans that were sent in?

 

[BlueTG]

Couldn’t care less if we pan then 15-0.

Also couldn’t care less if we got panned 15-0.

I’m glad some are getting a good feeling from it, but it’s not for me at all in this format, in these circumstances, with the blatant greed of those at the top.

I was referring to the CSKA game, which was terrible, even though there were a few fans in.

 

[give it to gordon]

Is VAR being used ?

There was no music during substitutions in that game.
