There’s a player there, but is he best as CB or LCB in a back three. Again, it raises questions over summer recruitment when we were calling out for an extra attacker. Feels to me like Edu had either checked out or there was a disagreement between him and Arteta on where funds were best placed

Saw a post on here that suggested Arteta was hugely impacted by the 4-1 defeat @ Etihad, but less so the narrow defeats of last ssn. Look at this, all these teams can mid-block, go direct and hurt you in the channels. What needs changing to improve our record v this type of team? #arsecastextra

I share the shame fear. It feels very real to me. Those noises about Saliba and Madrid aren't coming from nowhere. Appreciate we're in a stronger position financially, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have another Cesc/Adebayor/Nasri situation on our hands in near future. Players also want to win.

could ultimately cost Mikel his job. If you're not winning the biggest trophies, then you need cups to keep the good will. He has neither at the minute. The big fear for me is that our window of opportunity is closing.

We’ve had decent injury luck (esp. last season) so I’d rather ask questions of our recruitment team than point fingers at Liverpool’s luck. Why is it we’ve regressed? Why haven’t we evolved in attack? Why do we keep buying defenders over creative attackers? Etc etc

Honestly think he’s the best young player we’ve had since Cesc at that age. Just unbelievably good

10 days off and we look even more tired than when we left

This is a very good point. I saw an article that had both us and Liverpool as the two clubs who have slipped up the most in title races. A shame we basically have no attackers left…

Went a few seasons ago. Granted it was a pretty non event UCL group game, but it was such a bizarre atmosphere. One pocket of fans making noise, but the rest had absolutely no interest. Tourists, ‘influencers’ etc. on phones or vlogging. Around the ground was shit, too.

He had every right to reject it. Shawcross literally snapped his leg in half and cost him a year of his career. You don’t do that without malicious intent.
Anyway, good to see you lot are still thick as ever and languishing in the bottom of the championship, just where you belong 🥰

The Importance of Staying Humble
comment in response to
post
Don’t get as annoyed by transfers as I used to when younger, because there’s more to life than football. But hard to look at Jan window (plus summer) and not think the club have fallen massively short. If I’m Saka, Saliba, Gabriel etc there’s every right to ask where the ambition/support is
comment in response to
post
There's clearly a dislike between the clubs. Establishment v new money and that translates on the pitch/in the dugouts quite clearly. They are whacking £120-150m on him and there's a good chance they still get UCL. I don't think there's a hope in hell we get him.

The best bit about all of this, is that it's the 'back in my day, when players had a bit of personality' who are the ones so offended and uncomfortable by it. Football is supposed to be joyous, you're supposed to give a bit when you score - that goes down to playground level. Absolutely mental.

We’re one game away from a crisis and our players been shit, every single time. It’s exhausting.
We lost, they had a good game plan and Isak is bordering on the best striker in that world at this point.
After Sunday it’s a reminder of the need to stay level.

The very same rushing to call Palmer “the best player in the league” after one good season, whilst Saka isn’t world class after 3-4 seasons of consistent excellence 🤔

called Jesus a 'fucking clown', too. Players don't forget. He got everything he deserved.

also... is that Villa window good?
comment in response to

Don’t they do this in Germany? All the sounds Arteta was making it was as though he was desperate for reinforcements. It feels to me as though our recruitment team have failed him (both in the summer and now), but there could be a case that he’s extremely particular on who comes through that door

blimey! think @clivepafc.bsky.social said this. Being a new dad must be taking it's toll on him

an impending transfer ban, perhaps?

felt pretty cathartic. City have embarrassed us more than a few times in recent history, but this felt like a turning of the tide moment. When you look at both the young and prime level talent we have, we should be in a position to win big soon (I hope!)

I’ve always backed Kai, but his biggest issue (maybe alongside a lack of decisive) is ball striking. Consistently drags/under-hits the ball. I don’t think that every improves to a point where he can be relied on as our no.9

Ethan deserved to start imo
comment in response to
post
Agree. I hate the incompetence of the PGMOL as much as the next, but we need to stop looking at every decision and saying “if that was Arsenal”.
This wasn’t remotely similar. Welbeck backed his head into the defender, whereas Saliba’s was towards and caught Pedro. Debatable pen, but this is silly

City Group might still find some use for it?
comment in response to

we really need that new sporting director. Look, we might sign somone still, but this window isn't a good reflection on those above Arteta. It's obviously a tough window, but the players and Arteta needed help and they've been failed.
comment in response to
post
After the initial excitement because it felt very 'win now' and he's a good player, I'd much rather we save the money and wait til we have a proper sporting director in place. If we were closer to Liverpool, I'd be all over it, but there's no pioint wasting money if the long-term target is Sesko
comment in response to

also, let's look at Howe since he's been in charge. Newcastle have spent over £400m with nothing to show for it (if we're just going to be black & white and talk throphies). Every club has to spend to get anywhere near City and Liverpool. Villa's spend is massive, too. It's not some terrible thing

Havertz 'fallen off a cliff' might the funniest part of this actually.
comment in response to
post
Fuck me, he must be one hell of a shit coach to take a side that was drifting into midtable obsecurity to challenging two of the best teams in PL history & competing in Europe again.
And just so i'm clear - Saka, Martinelli, Gabriel, Saliba (I can go on), haven't improved since he's been manager?

shock as coach spends money to make bad team good!
comment in response to

it's so frustrating. Instead of an honest conversation about referring standards and how they can be improved, we have client journalism at it's finest with Holt talking about death threats. The actions of a tiny minority isn't the story here. PGMOL needs reform badly, but once again that's ignored
comment in response to

Yes, that’s it, it’s the influential Arsenal-supporting onliners/podcasters who are the problem here! Down with them! Brilliant Barry 😂😂😂
comment in response to

yep, they've shifted the narrative already. Expect Dermot Gallagher to come out today in Ref Watch to explain why he thinks Oliver made the decision he did. We'll appeal and hopefully get it overturned, but the PGMOL have already taken the heat off Oliver with the abuse story and by doubling down.

Chelsea fan (but spends an awful lot of time in Arsenal chats & going to Taylor Swift gigs by the looks of it). Wouldn’t pay him any mind.
comment in response to
post
I think the fact VAR failed to overturn that might be worse than the actual decision. How on earth can you watch that back and deem it excessive force.
Ever since those comments from Arteta against Newcastle they’ve been out to make an example of us and they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
comment in response to

Agree, but there is a pattern with Arsenal. Significantly more reds, yellows and penalties against v other clubs. That’s not a coincidence. Look at that Coote video and what he said about Klopp. Either conscious or subconscious, he has a bias against Arsenal. It can’t be allowed to go on
comment in response to
post
I don’t buy into the whole corruption thing with refs, but there’s simply too much evidence now not to think something is going on with Oliver & Arsenal. Martinelli, Trossard, Kovacic on Odegaard, and now this. Bias, dislike, whatever. He shouldn’t be allowed to ref Arsenal again
comment in response to
post
It signals we’re thinking long term, no? If he’s joining alongside Zubimendi then Partey, Jorginho and Vieira are all likely to leave. I think it’s fair to say MLS is our new LB, this is where Mikel sees him. Ethan is better higher up the pitch too, imo. Feels smart

Southampton I think
comment in response to
post
I guess this is sort of how we landed Trossard. All started with tension between new manager and a star player.
Have seen a few people doubting his fit at Arsenal as he’s a player best used in central areas. For me, that’s an area where we struggle so I think he’d be a welcome addition

All I heard was Petit saying we’ll do what we did in ‘98 and I think I’ll delude myself with that instead thank you very much
