Arsenal with their full squad back look scary, l they seem to walk these games
Hoping for a west ham upset. We'll have to drop some points at some point, and they seem to have an easy run of games.

Lol, everybody meets everybody twice. West ham are utter trash, remember we beat them 5-1 with a 2nd team? No?
30 Nov 2024 18:35:45
Win tomorrow and we’re 8 points clear again.
Ball is in Slot and the players court.

Let the insecurity begin!

Arsenal are a good side, very good in fact. But their weakness is squad depth in key positions which has already been proven this season.
We will also be tested with konate now out until Jan but hopefully Gomez can be relied on.
A long way to go with plenty of twists and turns to come. However everyone would prefer to be in our position and first task is get the job done tomorrow.

Arsenal went 4-0 up but honestly West Ham just stood off them and allowed them to do what they liked.
We’d have been 8-0 up in the same scenario.
We wouldn’t have conceded 2 goals either.
Arsenal are not scary at all they are Stoke mark 2 they rely heavily on set pieces. What is scary is how strong they are when blocking people at set pieces yet they fall over at the slightest touch anywhere else on the pitch.
The Premier League would be a worse place if they won it. They’re a horrible team.

Yeah fiskes, hence why i said they have an easy run of games and west ham upset. Arsenal won't drop many points now odegard is back. We have some tough games.

BP, they are a horrible watch which seems mad when a team has scored 5. For me they are the athletico of the prem but it works for them.
30 Nov 2024 19:41:12
9 points clear if we win.
30 Nov 2024 19:45:03
A team that regularly scores 3-5 isn't really an athletico park the bus team
For sure their team is unlikeable though.
{Ed025's Note - i must say i think you are being very harsh on Arsenal guys, i think they are a good watch actually and i want them to win things because they are a massive club with great history..
30 Nov 2024 19:47:05
Liss indeed mate. My maths was off.
30 Nov 2024 20:09:13
Don’t worry. When those Champions League knock out stages come along the imposter syndrome will kick in and they’ll revert to type.

Ed25 I’ve never had a problem with Arsenal and the invincibles team was one of my favourite teams of any opposition team.
This team though. My god they are horrible and frustrating to watch. I can’t fathom how refs don’t give free kick against them at every set piece. Then they are all falling over and staying down like there’s a sniper in the crowd. Arteta is a very unlikeable character and his team are a very good representation of him.
{Ed025's Note - i dont like the simulation side of them either BP but it seems all teams practice the dark arts these days mate (see MacAllister), for me they are a proper club and i prefer them to the likes of the plastic clubs like Chelsea or City, i happen to like their supporters as well...they are a good bunch..

Another 5 goals away from home, and you call us stoke city. Who hurt you, beckers?
30 Nov 2024 22:37:16
Good job we have a 8 point head start on them. They will drop points, so will we. Think it will all hinge on the upcoming Xmas period. If we are still 8/ 9 points clear at the end of it then we will go onto win it.
30 Nov 2024 22:59:42
If we don't win the league Arsenal are the only other realistic club I'd like to see win it.
Odegard is key for them.

Nobody hurt me SirWenger I’m just not a fan of a team that plays for set pieces and then plays set pieces like an American Football play. There’s blocks, there’s grabs and there’s a wide receiver, usually Gabriel.
Even today you might have scored 5 but the first was direct from a set piece, you won a penalty from a set piece and you had another penalty after Saka was clipped, landed on the same foot and threw himself to the floor acting like he was injured.
The second goal was well worked and shows what Arsenal can do if they stop falling over for 5 minutes or putting it into the channels to win corners.
The first season you finished 2nd you played some good stuff and I was supporting you to win the title but something has happened at Arsenal and Arteta has you playing for every set piece you can get. He obviously thinks that’s the way to win but it’s not nice to watch.
I like Arsenal as a club and I like most Arsenal fans that I know (I live in North London so I know a few) but as a team you’ve become a frustrating watch.

To be fair Ed25, if Arsenal deserved it they’d be top of the league. Everyone has injuries., so I don’t see that as an excuse. I used to really like Arsenal from Bertie Mee through to Wenger. They always tried to play football and their fans had a sense of humour. But since Arteta took over the culture (from an outsiders point of view) seems to have changed. Not a fan of the apparent entitlement Arteta displays - it seems out of proportion with the 2 FA Cups he’s won which is not much for the money they’ve spent.
{Ed025's Note - im not making injuries as an excuse WDW i see it as a failing on their part because the squad depth is not very strong, as has been shown if they lose key players they are bang average and thats what will let them down i feel, i dont mind Arteta myself even though he can be a bit moody at times but they do play good football and are a proper football club so i do wish them well mate..

If ever a team wanted their manager sacked west ham are that team.
