Sambi slotted into Partey's role beautifully here, btw. Very impressed. Taking the ball in difficult positions and trying to be progressive with it.
Unbelievable given he'd never kicked a base before tonight, tbf.

Saliba booked.
Erm Odegaard.
What was that?
Konsa booked.
Run at him!
Great effort from Odegaard on the freekick.
What did Jesus do wrong?
He once cursed a fig treeQuote:

McGinn should be off
Hit it Saka FFS, did all the hard work.
We so dominant but it’s only 1-0. Quite disappointing tbh.
Buendia and McGinn off, Douglas Luiz and Coutinho on.
1-1, how has that gone in?
1-1
Luiz scores from a corner.
Pathetic.
That's a clear foul.
MARTINELLI!!!
Martinelli is a baller.
Get the fuck in.
Need a third. As that fluke goal from them showed.
Odegaard off injured, Smith Rowe on.
On Ramsdale?Quote:

Oh Eddie, leaning back.
Looks so assured on the ball though carrying it.
2-1 FT!
Should not have been that close but five out of five!
5 in a row.
Top of the league. Get fucked.
Disappointing result to be honest but as you say it’s a win. I think VAR should have ruled out their goal but not the kind of decision we get
Eddie looks like he could be a player. Martinelli, on the other hand.
Two terrible teams hacking it around the place and barely able to string a pass, except in a few rare moment where it looks like Gerrard might be drilling the basics into his bumpkins. Where was the City defender? Is he injured? Best player on the squad by a mile, excluding Jesus who is also best player by a mile, though criminally underutilised (he has to make it happen all by himself).
Liked the look of Eddie though, the first touch and the instinct to head towards the opponent's goal, which goes against everything Arteta teaches.
2-1 (correction)Quote:

However I’m a little bit disappointed that again we couldn’t make the dominance count before the game took a freak turn. City won 6-0 tonight and they would have won this game 6-0 too because shit teams aren’t afforded the privilege of throwing sucker punches at them.
On we go to Old Trafford. Where I’m sure it’s all going to end in tears.
Unlike your rhetoricQuote:

You either watch it, or you don’t.
I saw a player standing after being substituted still willing his team on.
Far better than watching Wenger chucking a bottle or Gallas slumped on his arse
Jeez, it only took a multi-million quid contract for him to buy-in. Bargain!Quote:

Nobody is fooled here, right? 5 wins out of 5, like Norwich City did at the start of a season many years back. But nobody is fooled. You can watch the quality of the football and easily understand this is a long and inevitable season. Again.
But judge me at the end of the season. Only watched because I was sitting here thinking, what do I watch? Have you seen Netflix recently?
I don’t think anyone is fooled by anything tbh. People are just enjoying the fact that we have a team worth supporting again, you only have to listen to the atmosphere now to understand that. No moans and groans when mistakes happen, no split fanbase, no jumping on players backs, just unconditional support and I think you can visibly see the players feeding off that positivity now.Quote:

I don’t think you’ll find any gooner here getting carried away for one second. Once, twice, three….nine times bitten eh?Quote:

Could I get behind a team who didn’t give a shit, a set up rotten to the core? Nah. Can I at the very least see that the playing staff want to win, yeah.
Or why would you even comment on it.
The bottom line is, we've won the first five in a row for only the 4th time on our history.
If you can't enjoy it you're a dickless piece of shit.
CorrectQuote:

Lokonga was very good and hopefully Arteta can start to trust him now
Hope Odegaard's ok, we need him for Sunday
You'll probably have killed yourself by the end of the season.Quote:
