Arsenal V Sp*ds, Sep 26 1630 KO

[fakeyank]

Not even a single first team player injured. Has all the hallmarks of Xhaka starting and shitting all over any positivity we have.

1-2 for the cunts. Kane to score.

[dazthegooner]

Looks like Xhaka will start tomorrow <_< https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/09/25/mikel-arteta-claims-30m-arsenal-player-absolutely-flying-in-training-now/

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Ramsdale.

[Marc Overmars]

AUBA!!!!

Great football :faint:

[GP]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amazing.

[Marc Overmars]

HT 3-0

Easy and enjoyable.

[GP]

Half time.

3-0

Reasonably happy with that.

[Mac76]

Great game, the atmosphere's brilliant

Really hope it's at least 5-0 by the end

We're now above spuds in the table :cool:

[I am invisible]

Some people like the challenge. Not me, though - this is great!

[Letters]

What the hell is going on?! :lol:

[I am invisible]

Xhaka's back, mate.

There is a lot to be said for a narrow win but who doesn’t like mashed spuds for dinner? :d

[Letters]

Xhaka's back, mate.


:haha:

[I am invisible]

Lol @ spurs for letting Xhaka turn them for that second goal, under pressure no less! Take the shame.

[Xhaka Can’t]

3-0

Elneny, Xhaka x2

What’s your prediction for the 2nd half?

[GP]

What’s your prediction for the 2nd half?

0-3

[GP]

We surge forward in numbers.

Where has this been??

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty?

[GP]

Tomiyasu has been a great signing.

[GP]

We've stopped playing for some reason.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Tomiyasu has been a great signing.

You’re not wrong - great defending there

[Xhaka Can’t]

Xhaka is a complete tool

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Skipp booked, scrote.

[Marc Overmars]

3-1 Son

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck off Son.

[Xhaka Can’t]

If we blow this, I’m finished with football

[Marc Overmars]

Always mildly annoying when we blow teams in away in the first half and deliberately just look to contain in the second.

But it’s been fairly solid overall regardless.

Just don’t see why you wouldn’t go for the throat when the invitation is there.

[Marc Overmars]

Brilliant save from Ramsdale

[Coney]

3-1. We could win this.

[GP]

Good win.

[Marc Overmars]

FT 3-1

Well done lads. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 FT! :bow:

[Coney]

Ahead of spuds. On goals scored!! :d

[Xhaka Can’t]

Good win - from a fan perspective, you’d have loved to continue pummelling your rivals, but they did what they needed to do.

[Letters]

Can I just say at this point:
Fuck Spurs.

[Letters]

Ahead of spuds. On goals scored!! :d

Lovely. All their posturing about a title challenge and us being in a relegation battle :lol:

[Mac76]

Good game but Arteta could have avoided conceding if he'd made some subs on 65-70 minutes, it was obvious Saka was getting tired and we should have brought on Pepe and maybe Laca to give spuds something new to think about

Still, we won and Ramsdale and the defence were generally really solid - Tayamasu is already a legend :cool:

[LDG]

Souness has been on the scotch again

[I am invisible]

Not surprised we didn't keep the pressure going - these players are still very new to each other, some are still very young, and a lot of them have been working their way back to full fitness and / or have been cramping up after the hour mark. I get the feeling we knew we'd have to fly out of the traps at them because we probably knew we'd fade.

Agree with Mac - need to use our subs a little more wisely as we work our way up to peak conditioning. There's some good, athletic options there now - might need to just put our faith in power and pace for the final 30 some times?

Someone on here was lamenting how good a side they were just a few games ago.

I forget who...

Such a brilliant song

"Tottenham get battered everywhere they go, Tottenham get battered everywhere they gooooooooo, everywhere they goooooo.........."

[LDG]

Such a brilliant song

"Tottenham get battered everywhere they go, Tottenham get battered everywhere they gooooooooo, everywhere they goooooo.........."

Is that the Rotterdam song?

[Mac76]

From the BBC match report:

"t was all far too little too late and Spurs did not deserve anything from this performance. It was, particularly in the first half, an insult to their fans, gathered in one corner of the Emirates and forced to endure the taunts and celebrations of their Arsenal counterparts. "

:pal:

[Mac76]

Is that the Rotterdam song?

Yup

[LDG]

Yup

:lol:

This could be palace or chelsea, liverpool or rome, Tottenham get battered everywhere they goooooooo

[LDG]

Still love the classic “you’ll always be shit”

Mega day. Love it

[Mac76]

Ha, we had the simple version

Their fans were just gutted, a few left at HT

[Mac76]

Mega day. Love it

Yeah that got a good outing too :cool:

Was great to be back today, pretty good match for my first at the Emirates in eighteen months :cool:

Saw the halftime score. Predicted the final score. Not difficult. Nothing has changed. We've seen this so many times. There is a total absence of the winning mentality.

Absolutely 100% guarantee this is just like all the other times. Come back and slate me if I'm wrong. I won't be expecting you.

Shit club. But worse, shit kit. What the fuck is up with that?

[LDG]

I don’t give a toss right now

I haven't started yet. But will get a few down me shortly.

I’m very jaded by football but how can you not enjoy thumping those twats?
Especially as a few games ago they were all giving it large about being top while we were bottom.
And now we are above them :d

You were expecting a 6-0? This sort of thing happens all the time in football, a team blitzes another in the first half, they rarely do the same in the second.
We used to do this quite a lot in the glory days, I was just checking 2001/2 and we had two 3-0 wins in a row where we were 3-0 within 30 minutes and that's how it finished.
I don't think yesterday's result means we are going to sweep all before us but holy shit will you just enjoy the moment.
I love the smell of mashed Spuds in the morning :cool:

Said the hamster on the way back around.

I've done the Arsenal thing how many times now? Everyone has a different threshold. Let's say the 500th time was a charm for me, but I have no problem with others who want to go around a few more times.

And the kit remains an issue regardless.

Going too big picture, dude.

Everything's part of an overall trend. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the peaks when they come.

I love this. It somehow slightly softened the Euros final for me...
