Arsenal Thread | 2024/25

I'm posting this more as a Rival Watch for City fans rather than me being under the illusion that the average City fan is desperate to see Odegaard back but latest update is he'll be back after the next international break. So he'll miss Bolton in the 'this means more' cup, home matches against Leicester, PSG and Southampton, will have the 2 week international break to build up fitness, will probably play a part in the away match against Bournemouth and then play the home game vs Dippers.

Mikel Merino probably a similar timeframe.

Zinchenko unknown, Tomiyasu around Xmas and Tierney bless him is always injured so I'll not bother reporting on him.

Are you deluded enough to think anybody on here actually gives a fuck ?
 
Agree. They're just desperate to win at any cost, but I expect that's what will cost them in the end.

I'd expect them to be too hyped up for the return fixture and someone to be red carded. We've played big games before in much more hostile places that the Emirates. We'll have calm heads, they'll lose theirs.
If it were an emotionally-loaded atmosphere, it would play right into our hands. Arsenal - players, staff and fans - simply haven‘t got the chops for it.
Unfortunately, it won‘t be. Even if there is a bit of a charge at kick-off (doubtful at the Emirates), it will inevitably flicker out once Arteta has them settle into their passive 6-4-0 formation.

We dont give a fuck, still waiting on sorry rodders is badly injured
 
Cheating Cowards!

Referee Michael Oliver booked Lewis-Skelly after the substitute trotted behind Raya's goal line while warming up in the 65th minute as the Gunners led 2-1.

Oliver observed the 17-year-old communicating with Raya before the Arsenal goalkeeper fell to the floor and stopped proceedings – as seen in new footage obtained by Mail Sport.

Lewis-Skelly had returned to the group of substitutes on the main touchline by the time he received his yellow card – handed out before he had played a single minute of professional football.

Arteta used the ensuing break in play to deliver a team talk to nine of his outfield players as they looked to keep City at bay.
Sneaky little bottle job wanker.

I don't think Gabriel is posting on here under the name @bridgeno1
He has said the following though which is more honest and gracious than a lot of opposition fans;
It's true I've seen it on Arsenal Reddit groups - some fans hoping Rodri's done his ACL. Disgraceful - I'm ashamed. Football really brings the worst out of some people. These guys are no better than Spurs fans hoping Odegaard is out for the season.

Yeah I called it out in the Arsenal thread a couple of weeks back that no Bluemoon members were celebrating when we lost Odegaard and were showing sympathy. That was classy. To be honest usually we are classier than that as a fanbase but I think the match yesterday has created a tinderbox atmosphere. We've now got Gabriel on twitter doing a Brazilian TV interview saying Arsenal will be 'waiting at our house' for City in february with the intimation that violence will happen. It's bloody Dipper-level stuff now. Reminds me a bit of the Arsenal-Rags matches back in the day and the bad smell around those games.
