Recency bias.
All those comparisons mean naught unless all variables are controlled.
You might have a car which is paid off, but I need one now so I buy one. Compare our accounts this year, and it looks like I'm a free spender, when in reality, we just spent our dosh at different times.
We can have a discussion about the kind of car we each own, but that's a different conversation altogether.

I think once teams realise if they play deep vs us and it wont matter as we'll just score from set pieces. They may just try to come out and attack us. Our defence is good but it's being shown as even better because teams dont want to attack us. When we face Bayern or PSG in the CL and they attack our defence then people will see that our backline can be gotten at although our defence is really good.

Haha Im pretty realistic and easy going tbf. A lot of fans get into some sort of tribalism or almost cult worship of their teams. I know a lot of Arsenal fans online are borderline cult worshippers and it rubs people the wrong way.

If he continues on his trajectory he will become England's best player before he is 20.

Obviously a lot can happen but the kid is special.

The club has to protect him and keep him focused otherwise he could become another Dele Alli.

Hopefully Arteta has learned from Pep when he started bringing Foden through.
 
Gyokeres seemingly out for some time with a muscle injury.

Back to Mikel Merino as emergency striker it is.

Yea I'm sure none of your players ever, ever cheat at all mate. Either that or you overlook it.

I mean it's not like Pep and Mikel didn't joke in the media about fouls in the oppositions transition to spoil attacks.

Is that cheating? An ACTUAL FOUL is cheating?

I learn so much from other fans.
 
I wonder how many picks and blocks are pre-planned on every Arsenal corner?

I know holding a GK isn’t a foul anymore, so it’s probably stupid to even think a pick or a block would be called on a red team these days. My bad!

We’ve always had some decent Gooners on here mate. Even had a few decent Spurs fans on here down the years too.

i was exaggerating and basing it on my recent interactions with the resident aftv member bridge01 who has arsenal pegged for the title in october for the fourth year in a row and max dowman as englands best ever player in five years after five appearances.
