Arsenal FC 2023-24: Passion, Energy, Clarity

[Ted Lange 16155]

3 of the next 7 matches are vs Liverpool.   At Anfield Saturday at 1130am,  then at the Emirates for a FA CUP match and league match.

[Dutch 4497]

Honestly, I'd trade a loss in the FA Cup for six points in the PL. 1989, 1991, 2002, and 2004 have two things in common: The Arsenal won the League, and The Arsenal won at Anfield.  The two seem related. Only 1998 did we lose at Anfield and go on to win the league (and that one maybe deserves an asterisk:  We won ten consecutive to chase down ManUre, clinched the league with two matches to spare, and then a clearly still-hungover Arsenal lost their next match at Anfield.)

[Ted Lange 16155]

 I'd trade the 4 points for a loss in the FA Cup

[Dutch 4497]

Which also means they’ll all be leaving for AFCON immediately after.

Nervous about this one. Still…

[The Maestro 762]

LFG you Gunners!!!!

[Dutch 4497]

GABI XL!!!!!!

[Ted Lange 16155]

YES!!!!   COYG!

[Ted Lange 16155]

Zinchenko is such a crap defender him vs Salah is like a cheat code for pool 

[Dutch 4497]

We’re missing Tomi something fierce today. 

[Dutch 4497]

Zinny’s getting skinned; we almost need Kiwior at HT. If we can make it to HT level…

And Timber

Kai invisible today

Damn that was a good chance; Saka or Martinelli should have scored. They’re too good to waste opportunities. 

[Ted Lange 16155]

Rice is so calm on the ball, does so many easy turns or flicks to get out of pressure.   Joy to watch. 

He makes it looks so simple. 

[Ted Lange 16155]

Fair first half score.   At this point I’d be super happy with a draw.  

[shadow_operative 15932]

how is that a card on konate?

[Ted Lange 16155]

You are allowed to shove people down now, I guess 

[Ted Lange 16155]

I wish Arensal could sub Z off.  He is such a liability in a match like this. 

[Ted Lange 16155]

This match is like camping.  intents 

[Ted Lange 16155]

Trossard for Martinelli.  One of Gabis worst performances, was off all match. 

[Ted Lange 16155]

Crossbar vs that 7-1 Liverpool break.

Watching this match is like

This is officially Arsenal would be lucky to get a point.  

[Ted Lange 16155]

WTF was that yellow on Eddie.  LOL 

[shadow_operative 15932]

but eddie gets booked for THAT?!?

[shadow_operative 15932]

you get a card! you get a card! you get a card!

[Ted Lange 16155]

TOP OF THE TABLE!!!!   Merry Christmas 

[Buzzrock 15026]

I’ll take that result at Anfield when we are misfiring. Onward.

[Surly Bevo 25505]

Thought we looked meadoker today so will take it

[Dutch 4497]

Yup. Three would have been phenomenal, but a point at Anfield is always a good result. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Top of the table for Christmas!

I did think the Arsenal players were having a lot of problems with their footing yesterday.

[Dutch 4497]

Really, really hope this awesome group of guys can cement their Arsenal legacy with trophies.

Need this one. 
 

Let’s fucking go, Gunners. 

[Dutch 4497]

Fuck this fucking league; shit is rigged. 

[Dutch 4497]

Fuck this fucking game. 

[Dutch 4497]

Fucking pathetic performance today. Yes, they were gifted the goal, but we’ve been horseshit, and every other facet.

[CooterBrown 18089]

No desire to score. We are excellent about giving the ball away though.

[Ted Lange 16155]

Well that was crap.  

Liverpool’s title to bottle now.

they tried hard most of the day, especially in the 2H, but man, so many guys were way off their game today. i can’t count how many errors odegaard and trossard made today, two of the guys you least expect to continually put a foot wrong as it were. just a really frustrating performance all around, but still, they gave it their all in the 2H.

apparently sam ehlinger’s out-of-shape 30 year old brother is a 16 year old darts throwing wunderkind from england.
