Arsenal Thread | 2025/26

They had 3 offside the other week all stood in the way of the keeper.
Not even a 2nd look from VAR.
Just a gloat from Neville "I'm so happy for Arsenal".
Honestly the bending of any rules to gain an advantage to the red shirts in the prem and then the brushing under the carpet of it by the red media is at an absolutely sickening level.
It just gets worse and worse season after season like a bad dream you can't wake from

The gargoyle is desperate for us not to win another title.

He’d make a deal with the devil, rather than see City as champions again.

He's a reptile. Smug, too. Few, if any, redeeming qualities.

Get ready for "the league is a poor league this season" when the bridesmaids fc drop to 2nd place.

You can almost hear the anti city mob writing it out now.

Jammy cockney cunts!

I'm just catching up but they showed that in the action leading to the corner that scored Arse-in-holes first goal that Saka was very likely offsides

Are we not reviewing this or is it just that they don't when it benefits the team that it seems everyone in the nation are pulling for?

I am not a blue spec conspiracy theorist but how is this okay?

Fuck me. I was all ready to don my City shirt and hit my local where i know there are a ton of Arse supporters.

Congrats... you won vs one of the worst teams in PL recent history and needed 2 own goals one of them offsides in the build up to win.

Right in front of an assistant ref who has a totally unobstructed view who doesn't see it? Shouldn't even need VAR, it should be flagged in normal time.

Wankers ruined my christmas night out in town with my mates.
Was that pissed off when they won it after thinking they'd fucked it up that i had to go home.
Really shouldn't let football affect me like that but probably did me a favour with the slighly less of a hangover.

My ERO texted me on 89mins that this would be the first time that the added time wouldn't be a figure - it would be in letters - UNTIL ARSENAL SCORE! And then he couldn't accommodate why the Dipper-Toffee derby only got three mins.

It seems a few of the papers this morning are running with the luck angle.

 

[Dobsy]

They scraped it yesterday but showing signs of struggling with the pressure already. IF (big if) City can do Palace and West Ham then they face Everton away at 8pm next Saturday knowing they have to win to take back 1st place). Not sure they've got 5 months of that in them. Not sure City can put together a relentless run at the moment though.

It is luck tbf. They were really poor against a side with 2 points to their name all season, conceded a goal in the only spell of the game in which they came under any pressure at all, and they still needed 2 own goals to get the win.

They cannot cope with the pressure of a title race. It's really up to us to be good enough to capitalise when they slip up again because they will do. Nothing surer. Just not sure we're quite the same beast in a title run in anymore to apply the pressure needed so still think this is Arsenals best chance to win the league this year. But they're already making heavy weather of being at the top.

Sums up my feelings to a tee tbh.

Never my intention to claim that it wasn't.

Chelsea's goal was offside the other week but I guess it's not an issue if it's against Arsenal right?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Corners have never been reviewed by VAR

Think this rhetoric has appeared because FIFA said that they would review corner decisions at the World Cup next year.

I've not really cared about Chelsea since about 2008 mate. ;)

Anyway, are you talking about the goal from the corner? against your lot? Hardly the same situation, mate. A melee in a crowded 6-yard box isn't an unobstructed view from about 5 yards away, is it?

I was more concerned by the relinquishment of responsibility by the assistants (with their VAR nappies on) who run the lines, but you go for it, we all only hate your lot and everything is ok as long as it happens to you and not us!?!

I wouldn’t be against it, it literally takes 3-4 seconds.
