The Arsenal Thread

Is the apparent Arsenal signing of Zubimendi lazy or genius?

Knowing LFC had done all the hard work last year ending in a rare rejection, and knowing our Scouts are generally spot on, maybe the Arse simply conclude he must be the man? Sign him up.

Should LFC try again? Or has that ship sailed…fuck off you had your chance. Or was he really waiting for Real like every cunt. I know Grav stepped up but why wouldn’t we go again?

Maybe we’ve got other ideas this summer.

Remember Nicolas Pepe. We did the hardwork, balked at the price and backed out.

Arsenal bought him and got fucked over.

All I remember about him was that sitter he missed against us at 0-0 only for us to score about 5 minutes later.

Though it might not even be him…

He wasn’t bad in general. I felt. But they had to let him move for free with an year still existing on his contract.

For sale!

From what i remember Arsenal were ireportedly trying to sign him early last summer before we did. He didnt want to leave his club so they did a deal for his team mate instead. That’s part of the reason his club fought so hard to keep Zubimendi - they didnt want to lose both players that window.

Wasn’t it the season before they and Spurs were after him?

To be honest, this is the kind of jibe that used to be thrown at us until 2020.

Well let it be thrown at the Arsenal for 30 years then. :wink:

I don’t mind arsenal winning a league in the future (after we’ve won more than our fair share). As long as the cunt Arteta isn’t the one managing them.

That table omitted league titles.

Wonder why? :thinking:

You could omit cups in general and the difference wouldn’t be a lot.

Wonder how much that chart changes if you remove both their first seasons.

I’m actually surprised they are as close as that as I think people forget now how well Spurs did, relative for them, under him. 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, before being let go 10 games or so into his 6th season.

He should have won the league during the Leicester season. Every other team were crap.

Amazingly, that was one of the years they came 3rd despite the title being a 2 horse race :rofl:

And w.r.t the comparision with Arteta and Poch , should be taken into consideration that Poch inherited a weaker squad , didn’t get too much support in transfers.

Arteta got the full support from arsenal board and still hasn’t done anything that much better than Poch
