Arsenal

[Doc_Piptorious]

Joyless ****ers.


Still top of the league after a few bumps.

Still in the running for three other cups.


All that and they are getting zero enjoyment. Just whinges, moans and looking to raise the white flag.


Makes me wonder did any of them ever have the ability to dream and enjoy being in the moment, especially the younger ones that seem to have embraced the whinge gene early on in life.

We didn’t stumble across the line though - we were 15 points clear with 5 to play when we beat Spurs (and that was down to Arsenal continually dropping points)!

The things that expose Arsenals weak mentality are the time wasting to see games out, like Trossard last night. Then the messaging from Arteta this also always seems flaky and weak. I do also think they are realistically the best team but their mentality seems weak.

We also didn’t really have City in the equation last season, Arsenal have been here before and they have blown it before.

I disagree that we stumbled over the line. We won at a canter and absolutely left for the beach. Had we been chasing the title we were on for mid 90s in points. We only got 2pts from the last 4 games and still won it by 10pts. Even after losing to PSG we managed 12 from 15 to secure the title.

Arsenal can still get to 91pts but my guess is that they'll end up on around 80. They'll celebrate it and history will wank over the fact that they have generally underachieved. There's a good chance they win it with 10 less points than they got 2 years ago

Bad choice of words from me however, we blew the league away in the first half of the season and built a massive lead. Others will disagree with me but I think we started to wane after Christmas and this idea of easing off actually masked what we are seeing this season from certain players. We were not fluid and we won many games by thd odd goal whereas now we are in thd opposite of that.

Anyway, **** Arsenal and I hope they bottle this

Yeah that’s the main reason for posting here.m

They seem to have united many fan bases in absolutely hating them. The thing they do as a fan base that I suspect puts additional pressure on the team is veer from wildly over optimistic and confident to massively deranged and depressed. That inner steel you need to handle a title push seems elusive to them.

What you realise is that a lot of that messaging comes from the manager. The last three manager ms to win the league are Pep, Jurgen and Arne and I would say that all three of them were masterful in handling that messaging giving clarity to the fanbase and an appreciation of what the team are trying to achieve. Removing pressures. Showing humility. Acknowledging the task. Rallying the troops.

Arteta is absolutely **** at all of that.

Plus. All of this. Never looking to blow teams away always time wasting and cheating.

**** me, they're top by 5 points and have totally accepted they have a big chance of blowing it

Bet the cunts chop chopped after that

It's like this, pick the ball up for throw ins and then drop it again. Needs stamping out. Nearest player to the ball takes the throw in, corners have 30 seconds or it reverts to a goal kick, no messing about

[Norbs]

Even 30 secs sounds an age when you consider Rice is probably no more than 40yrds from the corner when the ball goes out and he can run that in 4 seconds

God I hope someone decides '**** it' and boots them to the face so they actually have something to cry about. Wouldbe doubly funy watching Shearer trying to condemn it on MOTD

The goal was glorious. Corner on 89 mins, good chance to score. Instead they waste time, play it short, too afraid to go for it. Then right away Trossard goes down with that 'head injury', wastes 2 mins, gets up to play on but is told he's to go off the pitch, so falls to the ground again. Ball hasn't been in play for about 6 mins, Wolves pump a nothing ball into the box, Raya has a blunder and the ball is scuffed home.

Only slight disappoint for me is I thought Trossard was automatically out for 10 days as Arsenal used concussion sub, but if he's not concussed, he can play against Spurs.

[Norbs]

He is cuntcussed

City aren’t good enough or consistent enough, I think Arsenal may stumble over the line like we did last season by virtue of having such a strong start. It’s infuriating seeing this and knowing if we remotely had our **** together we’d win the league

I believe that if we just signed Ekitike last summer and didn't sell anyone, then we'd have win the league.

Slot would've had to revert back to not ****ing around too though

[frank the tank]

Yeah totally agree.

But imo Diaz would have made a difference in a lot of games and might have helped Ekitike even more at the start of the season.

The club have looked to build a team for the future and with the likes of Wirtz, Kerkez, Ekitike and Frimpong, that is possible to come good. If Isak could as well then we have a potentially amazing team if we can get it right and maybe add 2 more. But we could have won another league imo.

Wonder what Jurgen thinks - after a couple of years with crazy points tallies, only for him to leave and it be a whole lot easier. Sickener
