    The broadcast deal is up for negotiation next year, and, unless everything is exactly how it was before, the choice will be 1) staggered kick offs; or 2) significantly less money. The big clubs will still sell out regardless, and the smaller clubs will need the money, so everybody will swallow it.

    Fulham conceded about 80 when they were last up and I swear their defence and midfield is literally the same. What on earth is the point. Scott Parker will be lucky to last longer than 6 weeks

    Joe Bryan is a fucking stunning player. Imagine him and Lamptey marauding down either flank and you could probably make it happen for under a Ben Chilwell.

    Can we please post the Parker post-match interview asap please, I don't get that shit on my streams and as one of the greatest emotive speakers of nothingness, he really is tremendous value.

    What a mess. If we could stop gifting Arsenal the first goal all the time, that'd be great.

    That’s why ‘look at the stats’ people are taking wank. No statistical formula in the world can account for that.

    You could tell Robbo was on the bags tonight after that 3rd minute elbow. But if ever an elbow was justified...



    Chuck Minnie and Jones on, the season is wrapped up.

    Bellerin is wildly out of position a lot in this game. He's watching the ball not the pitch.

    How long did Tierney just hold onto the ball for a throw-in there?

    It's got to be dealt with, it's absurd.

    For all the talk, Arteta is a very old school manager. He goes with experience 99% of the time.

    There's a lot of issues in this team, some of which will be solved by picking other players in the squad (when fit) but the biggest issue to my eyes is the lack of creative silk in the middle of the park when Arsenal did break. A lot of the time the ball ended up pinging about between the likes of Xhaka, Elneny and whoever had come in from wide. One high ball over the top at the end and it's the most dangerous they looked all night, tells you everything.

    It's risky but at least their last two goals against us have come from them and inviting the press before breaking it so it's actually commendable.

    Diogo Jota

    With Grujic, Brewster, Shaq, Ox, Origi and Wilson all largely not required, you wonder what other clubs are doing not just lining up at the door waiting for our scraps.

    Your whole right side pass the ball backwards and your midfield sideways. Saka should be starting every game for one.

    I would prefer Saka to play and would happily let Bellerin go for the right money since we can keep utility man AMN then. But yeah I think we need to just spunk the cash on a creative midfielder rather than fannying around lowballing bids until someone with an attractive offer rolls up.

    Passing out the back looked fucking awful for Arsenal but I was thinking what's the alternative? Chuck if forward so Mr Virgil can scoop it down and put the pressure on again?

    Basically Liverpool are just too good. Felt like they could have easily kicked in a few extra gears if necessary as well.

    Arsenal now have so many mediocre - but perhaps not terrible - players, especially defenders. Like the kind that might look pretty good for a team that had some defensive organisation like Burnley or something and then get bought by Man Utd for 60M.

    Passing it out from the back is the way to beat the press. If you beat that, you'll find yourself 3 v 4 or something similar in Liverpools final third. Booting it long is only going to see Van Dijk clear it up and send it back the other way.

    It doesn't always work. Take City for example, when they play Liverpool the game tends to be one sided either way. If City beat the press, they win 4-0. If not, Liverpool tend to win by a similar score. And there aren't many teams, if any, who have as technically gifted players as City.

    Arsenal should have at least been at 2-2 there, but Lacazette needs slapping into next week. Once they missed that big chance, it felt like that was it really. They're getting more organised. This time last year a 4-0 loss would have been a good ebening.

    Arsenal being slagged off for passing out from the back when we’ve beaten Liverpool, Chelsea, City and United more times in the last year than we had the previous 5.

    You take the risk because the advantage when it works is worth it.

    Tottenham playing Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday in September is peak Covid.

    I’m assuming they paid off Leyton Orient to catch covid so they didn’t play Tuesday and got a bye instead

    I just want to know if there's been a genuinely good African, heck black goalkeeper before or not. All that's coming to mind beside Shaka are Kameni (clown) and Enyeama (possibly not clown).
