No, not drinking.
He’s been smoking whatever they’re smoking over over there…since at least over 11 years ago. :wink:

If they beat Madrid, Villa or PSG then they play Barca in the final…

Yeah alright Barry you have scored 1 goal in 3 against Man Utd, Forest and WHU. Sadly the three mentioned in the CL aren’t going be like PSV.

Really baffled that Arsenal have subbed on 4 first teamers in a tie they lead 9-3.

Insert pop psychology nonsense as his explanation.

Like why bring off Zichenko, White or Tiernay they must have played all of 5 minutes this season.

Assume they can’t play a full 90. Still doesn’t explain why you’d risk 5 first teamers with 15-20 mins.

Because Arteta is clueless. He brought Saka on for 25 minutes earlier in the season when 4 nill up against Preston.

I’m sure players like Kabia and Butler-Oyedeji just didn’t want to play.

Saka was rushed back from injury to face us, it has not worked out well.

They are looking quite light at the back.

Have to move some left backs over.

With MLS breaking through they have a 50 million quid CB/LB hybrid lots of fans from all over were raving about last summer who is available to step in. They have a RB/CB hybrid who is now back fit again who’s supposed underappreciation by Southgate was cited by Arsenal fans as the reason for England’s under achievement. They have a range of fall back options that most clubs competing for honours would love to have.

There needs to be a funnier thread name for this team.

The club as such , they’ve got pedigree. Except in Europe and that leads me to their allez allez chant.

But the manager , absolutely wank.

And quite a major section of their fanbase , entitled as such.

Some teams are larger in some positions/areas and shorter elsewhere.

They have 10 defenders, but out of which Tierney is as good as gone, Tomiyasu has a long term injury and Lewis-Skelly appeared out of nowhere this season.

So in reality, that’s normal numbers.

They do lack a bit in midfield and that goes unnoticed (in their whole “we need a striker!” hysteria), hence why it seems like Zubimendi is their target this summer.

It’s our goals and forward depth (linked to injuries, we’ve done well on that front) that will likely be the difference in the end.

Why? What’s the obsession with having so-called “funny” thread titles?

Their remaining games (except vs LFC) are pretty easy.
