The Arsenal Thread

And yet you have headlines like these:

Now, perhaps I’m wrong, but in the clip I watched, Saliba got nowhere near the ball.

And, not that I can explain this, Newcastle and Arsenal absolutely hate each other. They’ll be wild challenges flying in all over the place. They’ll leg each other senseless.

Men under pressure say wild shit.

My favourite Arteta-ism recently was the one recently about how we’d drop points because no team is perfect, while forgetting that they would have be be perfect to catch us.

It is an interesting switch. Perhaps injuries have prompted a rethink to minimize their work load, or its to help them stay competitive for the whole season?

I dont see Slot doing the same, from what i’ve seen his approach is very much on creating opportunies from which to score goals through open play.

This is only even a debate because Arsenal fans are fucking deluded. I’ve never really had any antagonistic feelings towards their club or fans, but fuck me… they’ve got the whiniest fanbase, beaten only by City per capita.

It’s funny how they hated AFTV for making them look daft, but really, they do a fine job of it themselves.

“Coming together” is a meaningless phrase. It simply means “I have an emotional reason to not want to see that given as a foul that I cannot articulate using words in a cogent argument so I will fall back on this nonsense phrase as a crutch to appear like I have an reasonable justification for my biased position”.

Two players competing for a ball where one gets there and the other doesn’t and clatters the player. That is the very definition of a foul, not a “coming together”. This was not two players jumping for a header and there being incidental contact, which is what some people seemingly want to portray it as.

Regarding the penalty, wasn’t it Joao Pedro, who gave away a penalty in a similar fashion a week or so ago, where he went to play the ball about 2 foot off the ground and the opposing player nicked it before him and he caught their foot?

This one is no different but happened with the head, which is rare.

The funniest part is he got signed and was part of the infamous 8-2 game at utd

So I guess Ray Parlour was the one that ended up with egg on his face

A friend told me they got one in the first half against Brighton?

And that’s just the ones they were given. If we include the ones that should have been, but weren’t, it would be at least twice that number.
