Arsenal out spursying spursy

Wait until the EL final.

I’m not sure they would. They were choking at times tonight. Had Saka not hit the moon from inside the 6 yard box, it could have been very different.

Yeah that was his Sterling vs Lyon moment. I pissed myself laughing.

I’m sure descendants of those, who fought the Nazi invasion in the French resistance think that’s fucking hilarious.

After the country had waved that white flag.

Doesn’t that prove his point?

The reason there was a need for a Resistance against the Nazis was because they walked in and took over! But, then the Resistance wasn’t the people he was talking about, was it?!

Save the professional faux outrage for Twitter!

Just seen Arteta after match interview! Deluded lost the plot! Thing is the American owners will be happy with him not winning nought as long as they get champs league!

 

[Whether or not]

I wonder if Saka looks at all Phil Foden’s medals, and thinks he might fancy a move North?

Winger getting CL was seen as a successful season

Couldn’t have gone better

Saka missing an open goal and Rice miscontrolling and giving the free kick away for the opener

Stay humble

 

[oxopop]

Superb. Such an entitled club.

I dunno. I still wish they'd scored from that dodgy penalty just to see the meltdown.

And, out they go! Miss Havisham FC. Those wedding dresses must be getting pretty grubby by now!

Arteta claiming they were the best team in the competition in his post match interview. Interesting comment, as I had them down as the weakest of the lot in the semi finals. No striker, and certainly a lack of togetherness that has gotten Inter, and previously Real Madrid, to many finals.

So that's six seasons, well five and a half, and one trophy? Don't get me wrong, breaking into that top tier and converting potential to success is tough, but in a season where they've been touted as one of the teams in a two horse race, they've left themselves with a battle to even finish top five, and gone out of the semi finals most easily of the four teams remaining.

They can talk about the lack of a striker, which in itself is worrying strategy, but that Arsenal attitude and attempt at siege mentality has fallen woefully short. Lewis Skelly is the perfect example, ability sure but seemingly more interested in the bants, and by the time they look up from amusing themselves the crowd have moved on.

Arteta may have succeeded at City, because the correct attitude was already there. But in trying to instil that attitude at another club, it's not quite worked.

Maybe they are just a centre forward from success, and someone like Delap may fit their rough and tumble team well, but I just don't see that mentality to come together when the going gets tough. They've already showed their cards before the endgame, and that's harder to fix than just bringing in a player, because it comes right from the top.

 

[Asa's left peg]

The Mysterons are going to be so pissed off with their agent, Captain Black. He fecked up again at the last minute like he always used to in the TV series.
' we know you can hear us gooners!'

 

[mancboy]

Maybe this season will teach the gunners to any talk of winning things you don’t start gobbin off in September

the last 2 seasons havent so i doubt it

he cant move anywhere without throwing himself to the floor first

[Gogootz]

The implosion in the Arsenal boom/bust cycle used to be around February, these days it's just been moved along a month or two thanks to global warming

 

[Kippax77]

Just gutted Gabriel wasn't fit to take the humiliation in front of the watching world, alongside his team mates

 

[supercity88]

We need to chuck in a bid for Saka. He loves Arsenal but he's far too good to be playing somewhere he doesn't win anything. He would improve us undoubtedly and...well it would just be great fun.
