My feelings exactly.
That is for at least 5-6 seasons.
Hey Flobaba,
Watching this team today is like having teeth pulled with no novocaine.
(Quiet on the home front. Read James McBride for the first time. Where have I been?)Man o Man!!!!
Beauty!!!!!!
JOhn LeCarre died his week, age 89, cause pneumonia....
A favorite writer....
Books, films.....
Never forgotten.....Wow.....l
The metamorphosis of Elneny...Amazing.
Partey is so smooth running with the ball...
What a difference this midfield duo...
Such a pleasure to have him and Gabriel in that spine.
Holding had a decent game...
Tierney still off his mark...Saka not quite there...
Bellerin's intelligence made a difference...
Willian improved as the game progressed...
Can't say that about Laca...
And Arteta gets it right with preparing the team for this match and the a formation (almost)...Clean sheet for Leno...
Auba do your job....Stop hanging out with Laca, it's rubbing off.
Partey and Elneny solid, thank you.
Bellerin underrated and Tierney has not yet found his game.
Don't think that Willian is as bad as the rest of you lot.
Saka has got to score.- IBL wrote:mags wrote:

Thanks, but no luck....
Anyone have a stream?
This thread does show the juvenile, petulant behavior.
Nothing new there. This thread is no different from the majority of game day threads.
A lot of moaning and groaning going on.
Pick, pick, pick on everybody.
One minute, (I am guilty of this)Laca gets all the venom, the next minute he scores. Hero!Disappointing.
Ugly 2nd half.
Team started out so well with moving forward in the 1st half.
What happened at half time? Thought the team would come out blazing to start the 2nd.
Laca is a hindrance. Let him go in January.
Auba play center.
Arteta showing he needs to grow up fast if this team is going anywhere.
There is a decent nucleus of players to work with.
Meh....Tierney off.
Ed on.There you go...
Just sub out Laca.
Arteta and his sub patterns is hair pulling.Guardian interview with release of AWs new book.
Good read.https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/oct/11/arsene-wenger-arsenal-manager-football
From Arsenal.com
The Scottish FA have today announced that Southampton player Stuart Armstrong has returned a positive test for COVID-19 while on international duty with the Scotland men's national team.
Within the announcement, the SFA confirmed that all other members of the squad have returned negative results.
However, the Lothian Health Protection Team in Scotland have identified two players and two members of the backroom staff as 'close contacts'. As a consequence, our defender Kieran Tierney and Celtic player Ryan Christie - along with one physiotherapist and one masseur - have been advised they will require to self-isolate for 14 days as of yesterday (Tuesday, October 8).
Our medical team have confirmed that Kieran was socially distant at all times from the player who tested positive and has broken no rules regarding COVID-19 protocols. We are currently seeking further advice and clarification of the details.
Kieran has also been in touch and has said: "I'm so disappointed and frustrated to be in this situation. I have adhered to all regulations and made sure I was socially distancing from my team mates in the hotel. I've also tested negative. I know Arsenal and the SFA are now in discussions with the Scottish authorities to gain a further understanding."
Am a fence sitter when it comes to judging Arteta’s head coaching career.
Today he showed something: flexibility, willingness to sub early, to change tactics.
Keep it up.Atypical for Arteta to change players so early....
He is learning....Happy for the kid!
The entire game...What an idiot of a ref...Fire the bum...
Second half was better.
The team was lethargic the first half.
Everybody can complain as much as they want about individual players, but Arteta needs to take a good portion of blame; low energy going in with a hint of fear, player selection, even formation. What does a Xhaka-ElNeny midfield buy you.
And Liverpool is the gold standard in the EPL.
A long way to go for this team.
