Well that was crap.  

Liverpool’s title to bottle now. 

Honestly it’s City’s to bottle. Won’t surprise me if they rattle off 12 in a row this spring to clinch it. I’d be more surprised if they don’t. 

After watching Pool and City win, we roll that out there? Not great, Bob.

if we sign the right striker we are winning the league and/or the double/treble.

 

[shadow_operative 15932]

my fan fiction: arteta gets mbappe alone in a room and charms/punks all the bitchassness out of him, leading mbappe to do his best Henry impression at the emirates for the next 10 years.

2.5 of that xG was weak shots, more like passes, directly to the WH keeper.

Having a second team of starters is kinda helpful when you get down to the last dozen games.

[Dutch 4497]

This stat, I mean… wow. Martinelli esp has fallen off a clif this year. Jesus adds a lot in a lot of areas, but we need a 20+ goal scorer up top if Martinelli, Saka, and Odegaard aren’t each chipping in ~ 12 to 15 a year. Henry scored 24 and 30 PL goals in 02 and 04, respectively.

Disappointing outcome, but I had an unbelievable experience last night.   Took a stadium tour before the game.   Watched from the North End nosebleed, and would do it all again in a heartbeat.  
 

 

[Dutch 4497]

That's awesome, man. Simply awesome.  A match at The Emirates is a definite bucket list item for me.  Thanks for sharing the pics.

[Ted Lange 16155]

That’s awesome.  How hard was it to get tickets?   

[The Maestro 762]

It was impossible to get tickets directly through the club.  I signed up as a member (40£) and entered the ‘ballot’ which is essentially a lottery.   If you miss that, they have a ticket exchange which I was checking daily, but never saw a ticket come up.   I ended up buying through a 3rd party site.   It was easy, but not cheap. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

at the risk of getting my hopes up, this actually could be huge:

 

[Dutch 4497]

Surprising. Very welcome news for us, though. A healthy Partey will be a huge asset in MF.

[Dutch 4497]

We’ve been crap today. Just crap. 

[Ted Lange 16155]

This is pathetic 

[Dutch 4497]

Comprehensively worked by a bottom half side that had lost three straight. This is just abjectly bad. Will struggle to finish top four if we keep rolling this shit out there.

[Buzzrock 15026]

Fuck everything. I know we get these slumps sometimes but come on. We look lost out there.

[Bullneck 19316]

Losing today make me feel like 3rd or 4th is going to happen.

Join Arsenal America every year. It’s cheap and they send you a little swag. They have helped me get tix twice.

Full of Arsenal rejects

[Dutch 4497]

Spent Christmas first by a point. Spending New Year’s fourth by a point.
 

What a shit week

We looked tired, clueless, and dejected. Arteta and the boys need to fix this shit real quick. We’ll be sitting in fifth or sixth with a few more of these performances. 

[Surly Bevo 25511]

More poor navigation of the Christmas/Boxing Day/New Years grind. I feel like Arsenal does this 3 out of every 4 campaigns. Wherever they are table wise they bollocks this stretch up.

I’m afraid we’ll be saying the same about the “April Swoon” when/if it happens again. 

[CooterBrown 18089]

The desire for possession above all else is so frustrating. Every time we go up 1-0 early I feel like we are fucked because we will stop our attack and be content just passing around and not doing anything. Once the opponent goes level, we can’t find that gear again.

[CooterBrown 18089]

For the final 28 minutes of the game, Arsenal did not complete one pass in Fulham’s box. How is that even possible.

[shadow_operative 15932]

 

we really could use another 2-3 major signings, particularly up top and in the midfield. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

no jesus today, he’s out with a knee injury.

[shadow_operative 15932]

havertz at striker.

Its Arsenals superpower 

[Surly Bevo 25511]

These kits feel like this should be an Easter Sunday match.

[shadow_operative 15932]

well hopefully our attack can rise from the dead, cuz this shit is not going to cut it.

[Ted Lange 16155]

 

[Ted Lange 16155]

Saka has been awful 

[Ted Lange 16155]

Here comes Gabbi.  

[Ted Lange 16155]

This last few games it feels like a Ferentz is directing our attack. 

[Ted Lange 16155]

Awful.  

[Ted Lange 16155]

Arsenals most dangerous shot all night is a shot on their own goal.  Dominate the game and then that.  

[Ted Lange 16155]

[Dutch 4497]

Arteta better find a fix during the break, because we aren’t finishing top 4 at this rate. 

[Dutch 4497]

Five goals in the last seven and one clean sheet in the past nine….

[Ted Lange 16155]

 

 

[The Maestro 762]

Good start, big ups by Gabi

[The Maestro 762]

2-0, COYG!

[The Maestro 762]

Trossard, my man!!!!   Great vision from Raya & Jesus
