The Arsenal Thread (Part 1)

The entitlement on the fanbase isn’t just restricted to social media.

I know it’s bled over, I guess I generally surround myself with decent people so generally don’t notice it beyond the social media.

Evertonians at school were one I can think of who didn’t need social media to be annoying.

We were wishing for a premier league win under klopp.

We weren’t playing shithouse football and justifying it.

The ends don’t always justify the means.

For Arsenal do close soon the time window to win the English championship title.

I’d rather prefer Liverpool to be the only team to breach the man City juggernaut than have arsenal win it.

They have a shit style of playing. They’ve got an entitled fanbase. And need I say more about how they’ve defended an accused rapist.

@Sithbare

Who is a «accused rapist»?

Kai Havertz is my favourite player at Germany national team. He is a player of Arsenal instead a Bundesliga team.

Partey. It had been reported for years that an unnamed premier league player from London was subject to multiple sexual assault investigations, but due to privacy rights laws the press were not allowed to name the player. It was an open secret though that it was Partey. Arsenal hid behind those privacy laws to pretend there was no issue and refused to suspend him or even acknowledge the situation. That legal argument for what they did given the case Mendy brought against City for suspending him over similar allegations, but Arsenal went further and tried to extend him with a new contract.

The Crown Prosecution Service announced formal charges against him just a matter of months after he finally left Arsenal.

We are living in such strange times that I would rather City won the Prem than Arsenal. City are cheats. The whole world knows it. If they win the title again it is just another meaningless bauble to add to all the other illegitimate trophies. Hopefully they will get their just punishment, and the lot will be chalked off. But even if not, I don’t see their trophies as legitimate.

Arsenal are an interesting case. I used to like them under Wenger and they used to play great football. In many ways they are a proper club, run in a proper way. They are not cheats in the way that Man City have been. So if I could just leave it at that, then I would strongly prefer Arsenal to win the title over Man City.

But there’s more! Arsenal have become a snide, horrible outfit. Arteta is all about marginal gains. They have spent a lot of money but they are a glorified Tony Pulis outfit. They are influencing the wider game in a direction I can’t stand, so for that reason, I hope they lose.

Not sure what you are getting at, I’ve made it clear I hate the way they play but I only really care how it benefits us.

It did yesterday but bar a couple more games we aren’t directly involved.

Thank you. Thomas Partey has too played against Germany in the friendly of Ghana.

Never doubted Arsenal bottling it in the last few years but not so sure for this year tbh.

They are 6 points ahead and Arteta will go for a draw on Sunday.

City will have to be close to perfect if they look to overtake Arsenal. Can’t see it.

Yeah they will go all out for a draw.

Arsenal will try their best to go for a draw. The match will be ugly to watch

Talking of ugly…

Haaland will score the winner!

The hilarity of Arsenal bottling it far surpasses any annoyance I’d have with City winning it.

I was listening to the roundtable on the Athletic about Arsenal bottling it and I thought their entire premise was wrong. They said Arsenal just need to concentrate on what they are good at and not try to be someone they are not against City. Being safe is simply Arteta is as a coach and this coming weekend is not time to do anything different. Go and get the point and move on.

I find it interesting that people appear to have forgotten that the corresponding game against City two years was the point where they first rolled out their safety first approach and how an abrupt change in personality that was for the team

I think there’s more chance of City being close to perfect than there is of Arsenal doing that.

If it is a draw on Sunday and if City then win their game in hand against Burnley then, obviously, City would be only only three points behind. I can easily see City overhauling that gap.

I still expect Arsenal to win it because of the point advantage they’ve accumulated but I will watch this game with interest (provided Everton don’t embarrass us first, haha). I feel that Arsenal going against their character and relentlessly attacking Man City would actually be the best way for them to inflict damage but Arteta probably won’t even think about it, especially after their recent wobble, so safety first, I guess?
