JazzG I'm bathing and basking in it.

lorddulaarsenal

flobaba me too. Love us being physically dominant whilst being intelligent with it too.

Mik Arteta is a serious manager.

Was interesting to hear him speak about how we can improve still by introducing a threat with runs in behind and having someone in the attack capable of moments of magic.

Leao and Isak please

Its coming up to his 5th year anniversary at Arsenal in a couple of weeks. One piece of silverware to his resume.

Would he have survived if he was at United?

Lolz, as if United are the model anyone should be following at this point! 😂

Sicario2 - Tier 1 we are so back

Segway

Redcafe is a salt mine.

SimplyThePest

Segway you would think they'd have learnt a thing or two having been lost in the wilderness for the past ten years. Brain dead.

Clrnc

SimplyThePest they are a weird fanbase. I saw their post match thread and some of them saying they didn't lose to us. Was an even match without set pieces. Most don't mind losing to us because we only scored from corners.

Like it doesn't count lol

Clrnc it's also not really borne out by what happened during the match. I know the first half was a nothing, but in the second half we created plenty of open play opportunities - we just didn't take them. They created nothing, one cross shot and that header and that was basically it. You can't complain about losing when that is the sum total of 90 minutes output.

If they want to carry on like 2010 Arsene Wenger, that's their lookout I reckon. Let them get on with it.

SimplyThePest

RocktheCasbah poor old Arsene really would have been in a lather losing like that, wouldn't he?

Burnwinter

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Desperate stuff there, but I admit I'd despise Arteta if he managed another club. He doesn't have a scrap of decency or generosity towards other setups in him, that's one of his distinctive qualities.

lorddulaarsenal

You can tell Arteta observes and learns from other - introducing new aspects to our armoury over time.

Motivated intelligent competitive sponge that he is

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Worst thing about Redcafe is the Arsenal fans on there sucking up to them or trying their best to earnestly justify us to this lot while they suck lemons.

The only reason to post on an opposition fan forum is to troll.

Burnwinter

goon Yes, those "Supports: Arsenal" blokes in the linked thread give me the heebie jeebies. Very odd behaviour.

Mirth

goon Redcafe's pathetic. They were cheering City - their local rivals - on over us past couple of seasons.

RocktheCasbah

SimplyThePest yep - and everyone outside of Arsenal would have been telling him to grow up.

SimplyThePest

RocktheCasbah Indeed... You'd think there'd be a throng of old school battlers like Allardici, Pulis, Pardieu, etc., coming out in defence of Set Piece FC but no, crickets... 😃

RocktheCasbah

SimplyThePest funny you say that, I've literally just had one of my Brentford mates having a little pop at us and it's like ” well, hold on a second there my friend...!"

Claudius

SimplyThePest these guys all hated our guts

SimplyThePest

Claudius I think they hated Wenger more than Arsenal and much of that due to how he viewed and approached the game.

flobaba

And because he was French/"foreign". Let's not forget it was never just a football thing.

And they don't give Saka the recognition he deserves because he's black. Remember how he became the face of England's failure just a few months ago? Not even subtle. And till this day, no apologies, no repercussions, no accountability, nothing. They're still out there, waiting to drag him down.
