Arsenal Thread | 2025/26

[Stoned Rose]

We've had Isiaih Dada-Mascoll out for almost two full seasons but don't cry about it. Which £50m/£70m centre back will replace him? Calafiori? Timber? Ben Orange? You must have 20 players or so who cost major fees and yet still whinge about injuries. It really does become tedious but that is what Capt Black encourages.

We've had Isiaih Dada-Mascoll….

Who mate?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Plenty of rookies in that Arsenal team today. Definitely a lack of experience there.

They should’ve spent another 750m on centre backs tbf.

 

[jimharri]

If they're going to match our 100 points total, they need 67 points out of the 69 (23 games) left available to them.

Mosquera out for 8 weeks. That's 3 of the 4 centre backs out although Saliba will be back soon.

Given that virtually our entire forward line was out for much of the season and now the defenders are out, if we win the title this season is that the most impressive title win given the circumstances?

Only if you know fuck all about the last five years title races.

Our pet tarquins are gonna go missing for a bit I feel.

Fair play Villa, can't say they didn't deserve it. We looked tired today, rest players against Bruges in midweek and also against Wolves next.

 

[Danny Tiatto]

The kid Hincapie is better than those lot. Had a stormer today.

I must have been watching a different game. He wasn’t poor but he looks miles off the level they need at centre half.

You’re taking the piss right?

As you pointed out timber can play centre half as well as Califiori & White. Heck you could probably even put Rice in there. Thats most likely where he will eventually end up when his legs run out in a few years.

You’ll receive no sympathy here.

Sure, and you can play Marmoush as striker instead of Haaland but it ain't the same!

Anyway if at the start of the season you'd offered me the current PL and CL table at this stage I'd have bitten your hand off.

You could have been almost double figures clear by now but instead you are letting other teams back into the race.

I’d be slightly worried especially with your recent history of not handling pressure

Ignore the crap about injuries. There are 11 PL clubs that have more injuries than Arsenal right now. Arsenal have spent a billion quid over the last few years. They have a very good squad. Any complaints about injuries suggest a weak mentality at Arsenal. If Arsenal had averaged 10 first team squad members injured each week I'd have some sympathy, but that is not the case.

Maybe. But also we've had some difficult fixtures too, particularly the away games. Let's see at the end of the season, it's all hot air until we see what happens on the pitch.

I know. They talk as if we didn't have shitloads of injuries at least half of the times we won the league.

And you had the cheek to say I don’t understand sarcasm.

I don’t think I even understand what sarcasm is these days. I’m going to have to learn how to use emojis cause I refuse to start typing out that lol shite

I agree. It's part of the game. The fact they are able to spend a billion quid on players is an unfair advantage on smaller clubs - they want their cake and eat it. If they want to win the title they need to focus on the things they can control rather than blaming injuries. If I see Martin Keown and TheirTitter, I will tell them they have a weak mentality. Winners don't have a weak mentality...etc etc

Just end your post with /s to indicate sarcasm

It's frankly ludicrous that you didn't know this already /s

At this point it's fair to ask if Emery is a better manager than Arteta, but of course Arteta has better players at his disposal.

Taking the piss out of Arsenal complaining about players who are nowhere near first choices being injured.

Who has won the most trophies?
