Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

[BamberBridgeBlue]

That Arsenal fan is right. The way the league is decided is a farce. I've had a think about it and believe I've come up with a fairer way

1: Each team plays every other team home and away.
2: Points are awarded based on the result of the game. 3 points to the winning team. 1 point each in the event of a draw. 0 points to the losing team.
3: we keep a running total of all the points gained throughout the season.
4: the team that has gained the most number of points at the end of the season when every team has played every other team twice is crowned the league champions

Hope it catches on and we can finally get rid of the ridiculous system we have that currently means only City can win the league

We could play the game but then be able to change the result by way of an online public vote. If that becomes too predictable we could restrict it to rotating countries. So if City beat Arsenal 4-1, the public vote from China could change it to City 6 Arsenal 23?

Sounds like the Eurovision Song Contest (apart from the China bit!).

Must be something in the North London cucumber water.

No way has he given up just yet , taking the pressure off the players ala bobby 2012

This Arsenal squad appears so emotional and lacking in resilience, I doubt it will do much good.

One major modification to your new system above: I think we should award the league title to the team that has the highest average points per game once all teams have played each other home and away.

That would make it a far fairer contest then is currently the case, as the Arsenal fan pointed out.

Jokes aside, that account has to be a parody, right?

Not even an Arsenal fan can be that unwittingly stupid and wrong, surely?

Edit: Yeah, he’s obviously taking the piss.

I think they might surprise us and get their act together but maybe not ! You need nerves this time of the season and we have that , hopefully not just jinxed us

Well, well said the Rocking Chair
It's been a while since I've seen such stark despair
Who told you life was fair?

* With special thanks to the guy who posted a Dean Friedman video earlier, giving me the possibility to re-open up some late teen memories after more than 40 years. Can't remember who you were, but thanks.

"Liverpool nul points. And that finalises the voting of every single place in the UK."

It was either "Lydia" or more likely "Ariel" , I can't remember which one to be honest.

That voice does not belong to the bald guy in Canada. Is he taking the piss? Jim Davidson got pelters for that kind of ‘humour’.

I guess I’ve known too many council estate chavs talking like they’re from da hood in the Bronx when they haven’t been further than Rhyl.

Interesting conversation though mate, many black people have tried to pull him up for his accent even though they have been born in London.

We have disappeared up our own arses.

I've been working for the last few days, so I don't know if anyone posted this?

Dedicated to all Arse fans from a Spuds one... if you can understand 'the patta'...

Remember listening to Tony Cozier for years on the radio and refused to believe it was him when I saw him on the TV. Then he started talking.

Simpler, but just as confusing, times.
