What is with this “on fire” in English football? Arsetata does it, now Eddie Howe/Howl is claiming “on fire” as well.
“In terms of my fire, my fire is burning very, very strongly. That’s no guarantee from my side what’s going to happen in the future because as I’ve said, the forces that move in football clubs move quickly. But my fire is there. There’s loads of wood stacked up and I’m ready to put it on it.”
I saw an interview after the Sporting game with their captain, who Im guess was Danish or Swedish or something. Not a player I know but a big viking looking guy with a Scandy accent. He was absolutely scathing of Arsenal’s approach. Not in an “it is unfair” sort of way, but in a this is kind of embarrassing how little interest they have in playing football" sort of way.
Do think Neville was overegging them a bit today, they looked like a mid table side that turned up on the day and bar a quick 2 chances seemed to be playing for corners.
They might look back on that Eze shot that hit the post in the same way we look back at that mad goal-line clearance when the ball was about 99.99% over the line.
The chokers are activated. Abit late this season but activated nonetheless. Man city win their next game by 2 goals, they overtake them. Oh my, if that happens, wonder will Arteta stay. Unless they win the CL of course.
You are right on that although I would think they want to score as many as possible because GD counts next after points and there is every possibility both of them end with same points.
But maybe it’s best Shitty wins, then Shitty gets deducted points because of the charges, Arsenal gets awarded the league but Arteta will always have that shadow of winning not on his real merits
