Arsenal 2-0 Stoke - Match Reaction

Nobody was going overboard then either. We shouldn't be losing our opening game at home.

It's too early to tell if we should be losing our opening game at home.

From the match reaction thread - and this is just from the first couple of pages

this is a very eazrly reminder that this team can still fuck up at any given moment and it is not ready to mount a serious challenge.

We should be grateful that we've had our optimism absolutely shat on at the very start. Get rid of foolish title hope and settle down for our perineal top four scrap out. We've got a whole season of the same old shit to come

If you thought at any point this offseason that we were going to win the league, I hope you know better now.

Same as usual, 3rd or 4th place finish this season after dropping out of the title race by October

Really? After 1 game?!

And no, we shouldn't have lost it but the above is a ridiculous over-reaction to how a season will go 1 game in.

No, after 10 years.

Bull. Shit.

No-one would have been posting that sort of guff had we won the game.

As NQ said, that's not an assessment after just one game. That's 10 years of sheer frustration. I won't go over this debate with you because I'm starting to think there is something mentally wrong with you. Certain things you just fail to process and comprehend despite being repeated over and over.

[Letters]

Yeah. I think going overboard after one game is ridiculous and I'm the one who can't comprehend things

Case and point. Totally retarded.

[Globalgunner]

Another 5 years of this same mundane crap and we will still be accused of overreacting. Winning leagues isnt important. we get it Letters. Back to your wormhole.

Winning arguments by declaring yourself right, the tactics of an intellectual giant as always...


So you think those quotes above are reasonable and rational responses to the first game of the season?
Forget the last 10 years, the last 2 years we've won the FA Cup, last year we also finished above everyone apart from the two billionaire-fuelled teams. There is some cause for optimism. And you think those quotes are a reasonable, logical assessment?

No, after 10 years.

Pretty much, we've been there and seen it for 10 years now, football is suppose to be unpredictable but sadly it isn't for us because we already know what we're going to get, qualification for the CL and last 16 in CL.

We've done nothing this season to prove anything is different, once again we've started badly and don't look anything like title contenders at all, but then it's not too surprising when barely a thing has changed since last season, we had our chances to try and change stuff this summer and miraculously failed to do so, but as always we had our lame excuses at the ready.
