    Also, will point out that for once, Arteta has not been sanctioned for anti-PGMOL comments

    almost like he’s right…

      Childish, petulant, self-righteous are some of the adjectives used to describe him in the past few days.

      All of that for being right.

    The Arsenal supporter who collapsed at the City game at Meadow Park is now healthy enough to be on Twitter

    Great to see

    Loved seeing Arteta stick up for himself, the club, and the players today. Not that I expected any different. Fuck what the football establishment and media says.

    Postecogs acting like a class monitor amongst managers all of a sudden, mate’s setting himself up for roasting.

    Some proficient victim-blaming going on in football media right now. Mikel is banging his head on the wall and laughing simultaneously.

        Wasn’t watching, what happened? I swear I saw something about Milan planning on doing that for Donnarumma before the game but I didn’t see anything about Newcastle.

          Milan was just fans being salty. Dortmund was mostly protesting the new UCL format of more games therefore more money for UEFA

              Indeed. They literally have a huge banner “You don’t care about the sport — All you care about is money”. BuLi fans can be rowdy but they are real ones.

      man also clearly isn’t a fan of Arsenal, still defending PGMOL against Arteta popping off

      that or he really does think that continuing the criticism behind closed doors will somehow see improvement happen

    Almost certainly going to have youngsters on the bench for tomorrow’s game given our injuries. Would like to see a chance for the likes of Edwards or Walters if we have the chance.

    Something Gary Neville mentioned had me thinking. He said we should be looking at the market during the winter transfer window, to recruit up front.

    I feel like I may agree, but was wondering what position you think we should strengthen, and if so, who would you bring in?

      Feel like either Arteta needs to trust Nelson to play, or he will buy someone instead. Personally prefer the Nelson option. Otherwise I honestly think our team is quite set — though I want an extra defender to rotate through cuz we’re on 7+Cedric including Timber, so we can’t really rotate fully even in domestic cups. Unless Walters is ready or something. And maybe a Partey replacement.

        A bloated squad isn’t ideal, but our injury track record hasn’t been great this year. I almost feel like maybe we should bring in someone.

        Maybe even a loan?

      Football.london seem to indicate no Jesus nor Odegaard. Honestly, we shouldn’t need either to beat them at home.

          What’s the problem with Trossard false 9 like last season? Eddie is just so hit or miss.

            Eddie is hit or miss this season but Tross has been almost all misses ngl… especially when he starts

              I may be missing the mark, but I’ve felt like Trossard has been better coming in off the bench over starting myself.
