Arsenal Thread | 2025/26

Any team that expects they can simply turn up to a major final, show such a staggering lack of ambition and respect for the occasion - offering a single shot on target across 120 minutes of football, just 24% possession, and employing time wasting tactics in the first half - and somehow shithouse their way to actually winning one of the major honours football has to offer deserves absolutely nothing.

Which is quite rightly precisely what they got.

You’d hope this experience gives cause for reflection and self-analysis on what has been arguably the least entertaining football ‘experiment’ in recent memory, which sadly we’ve all had the misfortune to have to witness up close - but unfortunately for us all, I suspect such humility is completely lacking at that Club.

Two trophies in seven years, and they’re carrying on like they’re some sort of era defining great of the game.

They’re Slot’s Liverpool, Mourinho’s second stint at Chelsea, or even Pellegrini’s City (for the avoidance of bias) - a league winning side who few will recall or reflect on with any particular fondness in future years.

A footnote in history. Nothing more.
 
What a great result!

I have absolutely no respect for ‘The’ Arsenal. Deluded, weird, hypocritical fanbase and club with a holier than thou attitude that completely ignores their history.

Throughout football history that club has stunk the place out:

Completely unearnt 107 years in the top flight after being voted into the First Division despite only finishing 5th in the Second Division.
Got bank loans to pay for Highbury and their fanbase has the temerity to say they’ve always done it ‘organically’ and moan at clubs with owner investment.
Performance enhancing drugs scandal of the 1920s.
Gave players signing on bonuses to get them to sign for them at a time it was against the rules, these players went on to win 5 league titles in a decade.
Chairman Norris took cuts from transfers Arsenal made for himself, even took money for selling the team bus for himself.
Norris and three other directors banned from football for life.
George Graham bung scandal.
Ray Parlour admitting Arsenal players were paid bonuses in offshore accounts.
Their fans chanting ‘your Dad washes elephants, you Mum is a whore’ towards Adebayor, then losing their shit when he dared to celebrate in front of them because of it.
Wenger always moaning about our owner and spending despite being perfectly happy to accept that very same money when we signed Kolo Clichy Adebayor Nasri and Sagna from them.
Their board writing a letter to the PL on Arsenal letter header paper demanding stricter financial regulations to hinder City.
Arteta telling Pep+Txiki he wasn’t leaving City only to meet with Arsenal at 2am in secret at his house and becoming their manager the next day and not having the guts to tell Pep+Txiki who found out about it when it broke in the press… Pep+Txiki were rightly furious with the shithouse.
Ring leaders in the Spiteful Nine signing that letter to the CAS to demand they upheld our UEFA ban.
Keown moaning about Pep smoking cigars when celebrating City winning trophies as ‘taking it too far’ when Keown karate chopped Van Niistelroy in the back of the head and screamed in his face after he missed a penalty against Arsenal.
Arteta’s antics on the sideline, never in his technical area, kicking balls away, kicking balls onto the pitch, running after opposition wingers and fullbacks to put them off… his awful brand of football with timewasting on an industrial scale and fake head injuries to enforce timeouts.
The MMA that goes on at every set piece that they take and getting away with it… had PIGMOL strings for years and it won them the title this season: United away, Chelsea at home, West Ham away to name but a few where they either wrestle someone to the ground, put people in headlocks, obstruct the keeper, deliberately elbow the corner away or then have a goal scored against them disallowed for the same shit they do and get away with.
Merino escaping a second yellow against Villa, Gabriel escaping a second yellow against Brentford, Gabriel escaping a red card for shoving his head into Haaland’s… they’ve had 7 VAR decisions go for them this season that PIGMOL admitted were wrong, the most in the league.

Fuck these cunts!

Over £1b spent for two Community Shields, one FA Cup and one PIGMOL assisted PL title, with arguably the biggest **** in football (certainly up there with Vinicius Junior) skying the crucial penalty over the bar on their big day out… what a sweet result!

They had much better players than Our Tater has at his disposal. Where's the current Arse version of Bergkamp, Henry, Pires. The old Arse team were streets ahead, in fact, way out of sight of the current law-bending dross. The old Arse would have had the current crop chasing shadows.

I visited Dresden in February 2001, and although it was a horrible, wet day, it was clear how magnificent it was, having been restored after the war.

Whinging like fuck about the penalty not given when madueke went down, which was not a penalty, yet saying fuck all about the penalty not given again them when saka decided he wanted to be a goalie, which was a pen 100%, as for Turkey gnashers missing the pen, couldn't of happened to nicer ****

The sad thing is any Pigmol ref would’ve been ejaculating all over himself to give them that pen in the PL and the pundits would’ve said it was nailed on.

Bent as fuck.

Described as ‘the Florence of Northern Europe’ but, unlike how we rebuilt Britain after the war, Germany restored Dresden exactly how it was before it was flattened.

We got Piccadilly Gardens instead of rebuilding the old Manchester Royal Infirmary.

It is also luck. Also if Arsenal had won the shootout, you'd be saying how its a lottery and part of how they lucked their way to the trophy.

Nothing lucky about winning on penalties, it's technique under pressure.

Players familiar with the situation do well, PSG could handle it because they've won so many shootouts in the last year. The fact they'd won it last year meant less pressure too.

Gyokeres was fine because he's familiar with penalties, others were not. Some of the the Arsenal players looked petrified over the ball. Eze looked like he was going to shit himself walking up to that ball.
