Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

Villa did not park the bus!!! Even during the Spare time!!!. But against City they will. Arsenal third goal was luck. I have not seen a similar goal for long time.

Odegaard makes it all happen. Stop him and Arsenal lose 20% of their effectiveness. Probably PL player of the year.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

well they got the 2 VAR points back with that own goal that should have been offside

Looked like the player was in direct eye line and may have looked to have gone for the ball

Honestly, I'm shocked. I didnt expect a lifeline. It really looked like the city players got their motivation back after beating us.

 

[Jack Hackett]

I watched two of the Europa League games. No first teamer started in one game and just one started in the other game. Thus, I am not so sure they will commit to taking risks with first teamers. I guess we will soon see

You’re right…we will play the kids in the EL

I agree, Odegaard for me was MoM today

 

[Jack Hackett]

To be honest, I can’t wait until Jesus is back from injury

fucking hell jackett is back all giddy…

 

[svennis pennis]

Back to being champions again. Suddenly it’s not about just making the top 4.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Arsenal are the champions.

Their third goal today reminded me of Raz's against Soton in the timing of it.

They got the luck.

 

[RayCTID]

They have got some of their belief back but still have to manage European competition as well as their title challenge, and all their problems from Wednesday night haven't disappeared either. Any better side than Villa would have really punished them.

 

[Willie Wontie]

They will fade

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

Still think gifting them the fourth goal was incredibly stupid of Martinez. I don’t care if Villa were losing anyway, goalkeepers are supposed to keep the ball out of the net, and if Pickford had done that I can guarantee nobody would have shut up about it.

 

[GunnerGer]

We've had to do that too plenty of times after a UCL game on a Wednesday night.
If you play Thursday you don't get a 12.30 ko on a Sunday.
The difference is we just get on with it whereas Arteta whines and whinges about it to anyone who will listen.

I was sure Arteta said that there was an agreement now that Champions League teams don't have to play the early kick off on a Saturday, so someone else must have moaned about it, it certainly wasn't us since we've not been in the Champions League for years.

Was Pep not just moaning last week about having to play in London often with the travel time that involves and the amount of London teams there is?

Agree, Villa had a number of chances to finish them off, even though Arsenal had much more possession. I thought they deserved a point from the game.

 

[Akira]

They are showing signs of weaknesses recently, but unless we fully capitalize, it's ultimately pointless.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

I don't think many of you would be too upset if Arsenal went out of the EL at this stage.

 

[richards30]

That third goal is exactly why they will win the title! How fucking lucky can you be?

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Don’t complain about Arse.

We’ve had our chances to pull clear and haven’t taken them.

It’s on us and up to us !!
