Has last season fuckin spoiled some of the mongs on here, ffs?
We've been losing those games for years.
Absolute shite from the ref. Ayew should have been sent off for actually pulling down Saka.
I don’t see how the ref see Tomi’s one differently.
Don’t get me wrong, when he got the first booking, Arteta should have been swapping him out as he was having a poor game anyway. But that is utter incompetence from the ref.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Holy shit, dude.
Both games so far you’ve confidently predicted we’d either lose or at least wouldn’t win.
We won both and you’re still whining.
The social media whining to games we’ve actually won is ridiculous.
Expectations are high this season, and I think that’s reasonable after last season and the investment over the summer. But we are winning, ffs.

Holy false equivalence logical fallacy, Batman!
If you want to be satisfied with those two games, that’s entirely a matter for you. I’m not, in fact I think winning them both in the long term is not necessarily a good thing.
Playing that lineup against Forest is one thing, a failed experiment…but to persist with it against Palace. Arteta feels like he’s decided the one unequivocally enjoyable thing about last season, the amount of chances created and goals scored is unacceptable. A way of playing into the hands of teams who sit deep, intentionally avoiding any chance we have of breaking on teams.
But yeah holy shit, you can’t believe how much I’m whining when we’ve spent 600 million in four years, and not only buying only one striker in that time but actually removing almost every attacking player from the field, rather than having confidence in our superiority to both defend the lead and try and extend it.
600 million spent yet arguably Jesus isn’t an out and out striker, and the only striker we have lobs over the bar when it’s easier to score. I never expected us to spend so much money, I never demanded it in fairness…but you’d hope that if we were able to compete with the big money clubs in terms of spending we wouldn’t squander that money with signings we don’t need, neglecting areas we do. Not once, not twice, but three seasons in a row. Every fucking summer I hope to myself that we will address the areas that need addressing and that we won’t waste money on some luxury player in a position we don’t need, that invariably will be dropped.
The joke is I actually miss Xhaka, as ponderous, as much of a liability as he was…at least he was a midfielder.
The desire of selling him was prompted by the belief that he would be upgraded on, but no we spend 65million to play a burnt out German striker there.
We are putting our dicks in the lions mouth over fpp, Chelsea are getting away with it with eight year contracts (which will bite them severely long term) but how are we getting around it?. Our net spend since January 2020 is 480million, how are we possibly arguing that we are living within our means….and on top of that an aborted title run in last season we have nothing to show for it, apart from an unbalanced team that is going to struggle for goals.
But yeah totally unreasonable that I’m not happy, great six points…..trust the process
I'm not as extreme as HCZ about it and yes we have two wins, but the fact is that game was horrible to watch - even before Tomi's sending off - and unless things improve pretty quickly we're going to pull up hard - we're playing like we were last season when we'd lost our ability to dominate and were counting on plucky wins at the last minute against Bournemouth - we've not even had the good bit at the beginning when we play well
what worries me is tha Arteta is claiming he'll be 'unpredictable' but in some ways he's as predictable as ever - not playing Trossard or Tierney for example
Bringing Trossard on yesterday when we were down to 10 men would have been a good way of giving Palace something else to think about in their own half
and given Arteta was wholeheartedly trying to defend, and Tierney's defending is better than any of the non-LBs Arteta plays (apart from Timber maybe), why TF wasn't Tierney introduced?
Bringing on Zin in that situation was just a joke
I really am starting to think Arteta's engaged in some secret performance art project
I can see why Rice was so important to Arteta - he provides some sensibility in a side where Arteta is basically playing a game with everyone in pretty much every other position
