Shes only supporting the campaign because the shirts are white.

She’s a fan? 🤮 I thought I had already hit my low point with Arsenal.

The guy is a liability. No two ways about it.

He’s done this countless times.

He won’t ever learn.

Absolute liability.

Sell him to Roma while Mourinho is still in a job.

[Art Vandelay]

Just another day at the office. Has that left us in deep lumber for Sunday too? Not sure how suspensions work in the cups.

[Silent Runner]

He should have been gone years ago. Just a waste of a squad place.

[Art Vandelay]

All will be forgiven the exact moment he’s available to play again. It’s mystifying. There must be literally hundreds of footballers available that can lumber around midfield and pick up a booking every week. Why we’ve decided he’s the only person fit for that job is beyond me.

[SeanR]

Only his fifth?

 

feels like more…

Absolutely brilliant result under the circumstances. Should be suitably shagged out for the weekend mind you, but worry about that then I guess.

[Gabe]

I thought Arsenal defended well, aided by Liverpool being largely awful until about the 85th minute.

 

Ramsdale sure does like to flap around though, doesn't he?

[humdrum]

Can't believe Liverpool Faked a covid out break for that. 

Arteta said in the interview "we played the game we had to play" can't help but think it's a dig.

Hopefully we can at just take some confidence from the result into the nld. Would have been grim if we had got mullered again. 

[Art Vandelay]

Arteta should take a lot of credit for persevering with what he has, that squad is in complete tatters. Thrilled Dr Chompers didn't get the result he was after too. All up not a bad day in the end.

Xhaka cannot get straight back into the team after this latest one surely? We are down to one senior (22 year old) midfielder and an 18 year old rookie for the next two games, with Odergaard and Smith Rowe out, we can't even move one of them into midfield.

 

We just need to sit back on Sunday and play for a draw against Spurs. 

[Silent Runner]

Arsenal requesting a postponement of Sundays match. Unsurprising really, a midfield of Arteta and Edu probably wouldn’t cut it.

[Art Vandelay]

Shame we don’t have a ball playing midfielder who hates Spurs knocking around the training ground.

Oh Really? 

[dizogg]

Isn’t “we played the game we had to play” him saying you parked the bus because with 10 men against Liverpool it would be suicide to try and play how Arteta would naturally want you to.

 

Its analysis of the game not a dig at some bullshit conspiracy.

[Art Vandelay]

You could probably read it both ways out of context but in the video he’s just saying we had to dig in. I don’t think he’s being clever or anything.

How many other clubs have postponed games since Christmas? Why are we being singled out? 
 

 

[g wings]

Because a few critics and pundits have questioned our request. They are saying we have a small pool of players due to Afcon, suspensions and other illness rather than simply Covid.

First club in history to cancel a game due to being scared of playing Spurs.

Who are the two players loaned?

I would imagine he's referring to Maitland-Niles and Mari, neither of which appear to have obligations to buy attached? 

[wev]

Baloguns gone out on loan too
