Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

We were sore losers, even though we didnt lose and a draw was not the worst result, Arteta was furious we didnt win as were the players.

That wasnt a meltdown, that was fire in the players and managers who want to win the league.

That was the start of a meltdown

You could see it was boiling away and we are only in November. Wait until March comes around when you'll be expected to win 7 or 8 on the bounce with teams fighting for relegation, that's when leagues are won; understandable that you lot have probably forgotten that though!

It’s desperation to think you can get a penalty for that, I don’t see “fire” at all, going to be funny when you have a proper melt down, fucking Tarquins.

oh but it was a meltdown. arteta made a complete and utter **** of himself whether you accept it or not.
I don't blame you mind, I still defend keegan's 'love it if we beat you' outburst as passion to this day.
I was there on tuesday night and thoroughly enjoyed it for a 0-0, especially as it looked like we'd get over run in the first 10 minutes. was exemplary game management from then on in. cracking atmosphere too, best I've seen at an arsenal ground for many long year.
if your manager doesn't reign it in though I can see you imploding.

For all chances the Tarquins had of winning the Premier League under Wenger they won it just three times in around 20 years. The League wasn’t as competitive either and they paid a lot for top class players and their wage bill dwarfed others. Wenger did some very good business in the transfer market but once the challenge came from Chelsea then us he was fucked. Pep has won 4 titles in around a third of the time.

Ten out of ten
For the ones who defend
Pretend too
Breakdown is a final demand
We stand firm with our head in our hands
As we love to to cry
Half alive
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can't understand you

That‘s not a fair comparison. After 2004, we had to finance the building of the new stadium and that necessarily constricted our spending for some years thereafter and we couldn’t compete for the best players in the transfer market. Wenger did well in winning 3 titles when you consider he was significantly outspent by Manchester United in that time. One of the most significant factors in determining likely league success is the amount spent on the squad. There’s a distinct correlation between how much is spent and where you finish in the league as we’ve seen with United, Chelsea and yourselves. Of course, money spent isn’t everything. You need to spend wisely and have a top manager also.

For what it’s worth, I didn’t think the handball at the end was a penalty however, Burn dragging down Gabriel was a clear foul and deserved a penalty. VAR loses credibility because incidents like that are sometimes given and sometimes not. Anyway, no point in moaning about it because it changes nothing so we move on.
