Fuckin finally.
Add another few million, Chelsea.
Lovely finish.
Dear God that was satisfying. Was about to say Chilwell has proven he's mediocre af in this game too but my judgement and eye for talent remains intact.
Scenes.
:drool:
Why is Craig fucking Dawson even attempting that?
That looks bad for Leno.
Leno has just gone into a 90/10 tackle in his favour with a Brighton player, and his kneecap has inverted like a Flamengo.
lol at his reaction to Maupay.
These arsenal man are soft. How many injuries in the past 90 minutes is that now :face:
Guendouzi is such a nothing player. If Arsenal are 4-0 up, he's great - but if you actually need something to happen, the guy is a passenger. He's also a chippy little cunt. Cue 3 assists and a wonder goal.
He's got just the right amount of pointless movement and vision for the silly hair to make him con a top-level career. Nevermind Arsenal fans raving about him, I saw him listed on a list of French prospects to prove how good their pool is :D
Craig Dawson 🤭
Maupey. :cool:
Fond memories.
Amanda Staveley's embroiled in a £1.6bn battle with Barclays?
The fucking state of this takeover. :moop:Quote:
Ms Staveley says Barclays agreed to provide an unsecured £2 billion loan to Qatari investors.
Pepe is awful. Dani Ceballos is incredibly mediocre.
LOL epic jinx.
We were all thinking it tbf.
Saka looks good, regardless of what position ive seen him play
Lewis Dunk is a hero.
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Holding's sheer panic having him smash it into Dunk's foot :D
They ain't even getting EL football so goodbye Auba and goodbye future.
Lovely.
The Arsenal graph (as opposed to the Liverpool one) is massive excitement about signing *trendy foreign name from the continent*, jizzing as he arrives, the slow slide into gentle scepticism in the first 15 games, and then furious rage as he proves himself to be utterly inadequate and turns into a figure of fun.
They do it ALL THE TIME and never learn. Every single signing trumpeted as 'superb business' before a ball kicked.
"Well, he didn't cost us much so he won't do too much damage." as he racks up 100 appearances.
It should be goodbye Arteta too but Arsenal fans will delude themselves into thinking he's earned some time.Quote:

What an ending.
Bernd Leno is spinning in his grave.
Seething Arsenal is tremendous to watch.
Gahahaha, ordering my Maupay shirt as we speak :D
It had to be. :DQuote:

Neal Maupay - 'The Arsenal players need to learn humility and they got what they deserved'. :drool:
Ljunberg drew more than he won yet Arteta's won more than he's drawn so you'd be wrong.Quote:

Oof. I just saw Keane's comments on Maguire and DDG. Maguire yeah, he's rubbish but DDG will still win you more points than he costs you.
He gets caught at the near post but it's not like there's no power behind the shots.
Stats say 3, likely not counting today. 8 wins and 5 draws. The wing thing is political, to do with Aubameyang's failure to commit to a new contract. I don't necessarily agree with it but I also see it might not be the best thing putting all our eggs in his basket when he is making noises to fuck off anyway, could give those minutes to the strikers who will be staying.Quote:

Kroenke is Arsenal's Hicks and Gillette, just there to cash out his dividends and keep building his fancy new 2 billion dollar NFL stadium in the desert. It is no coincidence the club has been sliding further and further since he gained control and it will continue to do so until he either decides to sell or Arteta does a St Louis Rams and manages to put together an unfancied team who actually end up winning something.
There are massive problems at executive level, evidenced by the fact of an agent going on radio and publicly talking about a lot of Arsenal's problems whilst also discussing his clients (when was the last time you heard that, or indeed the same agent sitting in the director's box at games?).
Arteta and his staff have made the right noises about wanting to change the culture at the club and that isn't going to happen quickly. The worst thing this club can do now is start flipping managers like United, because they can't afford it. Short termism has got us here and only a long term rebuild and reshaping of philosophy (on the pitch and in the boardroom) will turn things around.
I read on Twitter that Connolly was still doing his one dimensional head down shit again when he came on, was it that bad? Not sure he’ll ever grow out of that.
Catch 22 situation really with Auba as he scores goals and that's a valuable currency. Before Man City game you still had a small chance of getting back into Europe which would have helped any rebuild but I can't see that happening now at all. I don't know much about Kroenke other than he was battling with that other chap at board level for a long time (has he gone now?)Quote:

I mean, he's at least opened the coffers as the last three seasons you must have spent at least £300M+.
Then again, Lofty....
@Sir Andy Mahowry
OK, I was wrong.
Y'see, that's the kind of on-pitch banter the crowd noise tries to rob us of.
Harry Maguire just has a very obvious weakness in that he moves like somebody shifting a wardrobe. In the games where they defend a bit deeper he's generally been very good.
Does it really though?Quote:

Maupay.
:cool:
Arsenal are absolute dross. They'd be well served shifting Aubemayang on if they can get good money and not waste it on shit. So yeah, probably need to keep him. Also lol at Mesut wanting to sit out his contract (who can blame him). Those few weeks when he signed that deal and Sanchez went to United, there must have been something in the air in the finance departments.
The West Ham board and their face masks are quite amusing. David Gold appears to think it's a beard protector.
