Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

To be fair they do. What they are lackimg is a crunch game german.

Forgot about Odegaard. Terrific player but no Erling.

Stop paying for your license fee and get a firestick.

I’ve already got one and a licence but if I watch MOTD on it I still get the same pundits… It could be broken

Still think Arsenal csn do it but we are back in the mixer now. Need to eradicate Brentford, Everton, Forest type results though. Newcastle can beat them on form and Chelsea can do a Liverpool and live up to their status. You never know. Win all our games and Champions.it won't be like that though.

Arsenal had won the game yesterday until Xhaka wound the crowd up and Arsenal let their arses drop. The crowd at St James' will not need Xhaka or any Arsenal player to wind us up as we'll be up for it the whole game.

Arsenal will not look forward to coming to play at Newcastle and needing the points. They're a really good team who can beat most teams on their day but I'm not sure how mentally tough they are as a team.

Henderson?

He's some boy. He plays for the dippers, refs the game and plays in goal for Arsenal at the same time!

 

[Bluesince1979]

Here we come tarquin!!!

 

[city saint]

just hope if we are beating them at our place they dont decide to put the reserves on with instructions to clog us

 

[BringBackSwales]

Point gained

Course it is. Go and have a sit down with Aaron Ramsdale

Point gained

Point gained my arse.

Before the game id say yes your righr. Away at Klanfield..but the manner of the whole second half..it was more by look then judgement. I honestly think Martinelli could turn us inside out at our place so have a feeling you will get something and will pip us to the title. Fair play, the only thing thats grating is some of the newer fans of yours squawking 'City have no 'istry and their a nothing club' ..shows theor limited football IQ and makes the neutrals i know start favouring us. They let your genuine, knowledgeable fans down.

Every club has its fair share of tossers as fans

 

[Jack Hackett]

What a bizarre mentality.

Stating a fact is bizarre?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Point gained my arse.

It’s potentially a point gained only if they beat us on goal difference, but given we are 5 ahead and it will be 7 assuming we beat them at the Etihad (which we all accept we have to do to win the league) so definitely 2 dropped, especially as they were 2 goals up and cruising. Those 2 dropped points have put it back in our own hands and we are used to the pressure

On a purely factual basis you’re correct.

However, there is so much more to it, and you know it.

The Arse Dipper game reminds me of the Rags Everton game in March 2010 when the Rags had an eight point lead and were 4-2 up with about 10 minutes to play. Ended 4-4, they later lost to Wigan and us and the title was ours.

 

[the blue panther]

Is "The Ramsdale" Arsenal's version of the Posnan?
It seems to happen in big games about 19/20 minutes in when the goalie sits down and the rest of the team legs it for a group hug with 'Daddy Arteta' on the touchline.
Cheats, but, kind of heart-warming the way they cuddle at the time of insecurity.

Just said exactly what I was going to post. The experience that Jesus and Zinchenko will bring just can't be bought.......except if you buy them. Great move by Arteta to bring them in after they bottled the run in last season. He knew what he was doing.

Zinchenko cost them yesterday and he knew it.

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Stating a fact is bizarre?

That's not what they said. They said that the mentality is bizarre. Which it is. You were 2-0 up and cruising against a piss poor Liverpool team who looked half-arsed for about 40 minutes. That game should have ended up 3, 4 or 5 nil, you were that dominant. But Xhaka did what Xhaka does and you lost the upper hand and weren't good enough or composed enough to even look like winning it back. If City had done that I'd be gutted and wouldn't be able to see it any other way than 2 points dropped. And I think the vast majority of City fans would see it the same way.

 

[hammocity]

Arteta, Jesus & Zinchenko's experience will be vital to them. Their squad will listen to them & try to see their last 8 games through.

All we can do is ensure we win every game we've got left this season. We've zero room for error...

They won’t win 7 games, I think we have a margin of error but it doesn’t include dropping points against the Tarquins.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

i seem to recall the media droning on about tactical fouls for weeks and highlighting Ferny. Silence about Arsenal’s tactical injuries is deafening. Southampton were doing it last season as well around the 70 minute mark so they could all juice up. It was pointed out and they stopped.

 

[Vienna_70]

Gave you a like but, I think the 1st bit needs an edit - the numbers are wrong
;-)

No they’re not; @BringBackSwales has it spot on.

If we beat Arsenal 1-0, or by one clear goal, our GD will improve by one, and theirs will worsen by one, therefore, it will go from five better than theirs to seven better.

2-0 or two clear goals, it will be nine better.
3-0 or three clear goals, eleven better, and so on.
