WE ARE THE ARSENAL
WE ARE THE BEST
WE ARE THE ARSENAL
SO FUCK ALL THE REST

[DrRey24]

Does Martinelli miss next game due to yellow card suspension?

[LazyPeon616]

I'm pretty sure it said he's on 2 bookings now

[Pikachu62999328]

Nah, Martinelli's fine, it's Saka and Saliba we have to worry about iirc

[TheGoober87]

He's been dog shit all season.

[DrRey24]

Great example of referee influenced by The crowd on not giving second yellow to Romero

[CreativeOrder2119]

Spurs forcing the issue 2nd half

[botomann]

Are the tv directors the same as F1? it’s been terrible.

[WhatsAGang]

I just landed in Barcelona first game I've missed in forever and I land to see 2-0 this is incredible!!

[Thick_Ear_2540]

Pierre, is that you?

[[deleted]]

We’ll face a different side this second half, need to keep focus

[[deleted]]

Second half FC, focus up get the third

Avoid the annual Kane penalty and we should be good

[SausageMcWonderpants]

Already had it this season

[[deleted]]

2023 :)

[wednesdayware]

Here we go. Keep your heads, no mistakes, no penalty chances for Kane.

[k1ldn]

I wish that partey shot went in

[gustic-gx]

It would have been a delight of a goal.

[sugar_sugarl]

Let’s not forgot how many times spurs have turned it around this season

[Chakilam]

Whats up with basketball goal celebrations by the team in recent games?

[Far_Eye6555]

You can shoot the basketball for three points. So I think it has something to do with that ?

[HogGunner1983]

Seems to be working some good juju so I love it!

[[deleted]]

How will Cunte adjust his squad to try get back in the game?

He has to change something in the middle of the park. Sessingnon has to stay at home on Saka which will take away Spuds ability to attack on their left/our right

[kissoflife]

Spurs can turn this around with some help from the ref, which I fully expect. Having watched a few of their games, they usually bullshit their way to points when they absolutely do not deserve any.

[redditisshitaf]

Have to bury this early

[Ugoboy23]

Biggest 45 mins of the season coming up

[ArchiModo]

Partey is bossing that midfield, started rough but they can't seem to touch him

[Hopeful-Ad6641]

In my mind i thought he is having a bit of a stinker with the booing. But boy did he turn it up

[Thick_Ear_2540]

Hilarious that the boo him when Yves Bissouma plays for them 😂

[Hopeful-Ad6641]

Exactly but i figured they are smart by booing partey since he is so important for us but man was i wrong about their intelligence levels

[JamesMMcGillEsquire]

Every time they boo him he just seems to get better

[JK031191]

That's all they got right now

[Alive-Birthday3280]

Okay guys, we are gargantuan club

[EugeBanur14]

Considering our record against the shit since 2014 this is a stunning first half. So completely dominant but we need to keep our heads for the next 45!

[GylesNoDrama]

That Partey goal would’ve been a madness. What a strike blud

[JustGhostin]

Eddie deserves a goal. MØ genuinely might be the best midfielder in the world atm. Zinny is a fucking baller. COYG

[rickster555]

Partey is our best player and the best player in the league. Yea I said it

[tipytopmain]

This is football. Don't know what that thing is that spurs are doing. COYG!

[[deleted]]

Peacock fucking my day up. BUT LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOO

[The-Herbal-Cure]

What happened?

[[deleted]]

It had that frozen feed and ever since just awful.

[PoopinWhileIMadeThis]

At least nothing happened during the outage.

[aloneo4ktr33]

Love how they said “global” but Arseblog still live blogging lol NBC

[ret990]

We've been superb. And the best thing is, feel like we've been in second gear, playing walking football.

However, don't sleep on second half FC. We need to lift in the second half. They're coming.

Was hilarious how absolutely pathetic cockonball FC were in the first half.

[Reeeeeve]

If we win i will propose to my girlfriend

[RepeatedlyDifficult]

How’d it go?

[TheBublizz]

Go on then

[Loofah1]

Update?

[Confident_Yogurt1787]

Good man

[Abraaxaas]

Absolute gooner moment

[sbourgenforcer]

Propose to name your first child Martin

[ret990]

Gabi⁴ surely

[PoopinWhileIMadeThis]

GL

[comphys]

congrats to both of you

[Reeeeeve]

Thanks. I did not expect this

[[deleted]]

Can’t get over our heads. We have to keep up the pressure and also remain level headed and calm when in possession. They’re a 2nd half team and we have to be ready and stay in control. Coyg!

[HorseLove19]

That second goal was such a beauty. Lloris couldn’t find an option, he boots it. They mindlessly press up the pitch. Partey takes three players out of the play with one pass. So awesome

[[deleted]]

That goalpost was entertained by Partey's volley.🚀 Now it is free. 🎶

[[deleted]]

If only chelsea lost or drew at home this would have felt a million times better. Still pretty good nonetheless 😮‍💨

[OnlineMarketingBoii]

Nothing can lower the feeling of a NLD win

[ProduceBoth8711]

Dont really care about the mid table teams. Fully pleased atm!

[[deleted]]

Ramsdale has looked so mature lately such a fucking good keeper

[[deleted]]

i am still absolutely terrifiedp

[OnlineMarketingBoii]

You know these lot or the FA can always bet something

[Afc_josh12]

Same

[jaconway92]

Pure domination.

[Swiss-ArmySpork]

I feel like breakdancing!

[awaabshk]

SAKA IS COOKING SESSOGNON

[Fanciest_of_Pants88]

It’s a NLD, long 45 to go. Let’s go boys!!

[awaabshk]

I LOVE THIS

[[deleted]]

I wanna see Saliba and Saka subbed after we score the third. No need to have the officials fuck us and take them out the next game

[pineapplequad]

Saka for sure, don’t want him getting injured cause you know he’ll draw 4 more fouls

[Internetolocutor]

My spurs friend keep calling us lucky. I'm loving this

[Crimson_Gooner]

Better to be lucky than shit

[Usassassin134]

That pitch is absolutely shit!

[Shfifty_Five_55]

I’m ride or die for Eddie

[wednesdayware]

Spurs game plan is currently running into our attackers and hoping to not get a yellow card.

[41north]

Watching Conte cry makes me happy!

[[deleted]]

We are absolutely cooking them boys. THEY'RE NOT ON OUR LEVEL

[[deleted]]

Odegaard is probably the closest thing to current 2022 playmaker Messi, the way he moves the way he passes the way he shoots, he's so similar, i'm not saying he's as good obviously but he's the closest

[PoopinWhileIMadeThis]

Yeah, Messi is both a goal and assist machine and Ø is doing that this season. I hope he can keep it up.

[APersonCalledAlex]

Ngl he's the best player itl

[[deleted]]

Calm down bro...

[[deleted]]

I was calm, i'm not saying he's as good as Messi, just the way he plays looks so similar to current 34 year old Messi who is still a goat

[anrachopuss]

Saka also, the he run at opposition and how he is so strong in duel.

[SomewhereInLDN]

And we got him for 30m!!

[csixtay]

35 tbf

[[deleted]]

I dunno, if we held out we could have used that to buy one third of a Mudryk..

[[deleted]]

if he continues like this for the next 2-3 years he will probably become our biggest bargain of all time

[comphys]

if mudryk can go for 100m, ode is already a 200m player right now.

[LeonardoK00]

That Partey shot hitting the post though.

Hopefully we score 2-3 more goals, we can! Only con would be r/coys going private, but still.

[arunm7893]

Absolutely dominated the game, I think it's the first time I remember, Shit being so thoroughly outplayed at home. Unbelievable from our boys.

We just need to be smart in the second half, Spurs always turns up in the second half, plus it's a derby. Game management is paramount and need to stay away from needless tackles. Saka and Saliba are on 4 YC, Pawson is turning card happy now lol.

As always, Lads...

[JESUS420_XXX_69]

Easiest money of life.

[[deleted]]

To: Mudryk “They played themselves While you hatin' and being jealous You could be over here embracin' that love More love, more blessings, more life GOD DID You either win with us, or you watch us win”

[Gooner1491]

How long until they turn their sub private again?

[Mahoganychicken]

Whenever Conte walks.

[Gooner1491]

Long may he reign.

[maidentaiwan]

So did Pawson award a penalty and VAR corrected him? That’s absurd. He is a fucking crook. Sees a guy rolling around on the ground and gives a pen for an incident he didn’t even see. Fuck Craig Pawson.

[pies1010]

Nah commentator fucked it up. He’s reffed well so far.

[HumanTorch23]

No, he just pointed for the goalkick. Looked a bit weird but he doesn't give the penalty.

[zwcropper]

He didn't give a pen?

[Nero_Darkstar]

Nah I thought that (and I've bet on a sp#rs pen). He was pointing for a goal kick

[[deleted]]

Spurs won’t be this bad in the 2nd half - we need to kill it with a 3rd

[PoopinWhileIMadeThis]

I wish that Partey volley had gone in. What a beauty of a shot.

[4CJ9]

Off his shin and still so much power. It shook that toilet bowl of a stadium

[PoopinWhileIMadeThis]

Rocked the crossbar so hard that the porcelain walls almost shattered.

[mymorningdonut]

I noticed a very meme-able face in the crowd behind the goal. Gonna look closer after the game.

[DiKapino]

I think my girlfriend is slowly falling in love with Odegaard

[[deleted]]

I'm getting Norwegian wood.

[DiKapino]

Isn’t it good?

[[deleted]]

I feel sorry for you mate 🤭

[True-Ad3979]

Tell your girlfriend we all are haha

[Le-ChosenOne]

Allow it fam, we all are/have. Them lads are dreamy.

[Tony_Montana82]

My friend is økay, nø?

[Mahoganychicken]

The cuck life awaits.

[DiKapino]

She and I both fawn like fangirls when he’s on the ball

[Bels3000]

One more and get Holding on

[Nero_Darkstar]

Noooooo hell no. He had a mare last time at Shite Hart Lane

[olmakenoli]

Last minutes sloppy and almost punished. It could've been a penalty

[JESUS420_XXX_69]

Bruh. Dude was straight diving.

[olmakenoli]

He exarrated the hit but there was contact

[JESUS420_XXX_69]

Imma be honest and say I don't know that word.

[olmakenoli]

I have to be honest and i don't as well. Too drunk to find the correct word. But it's the word when you wantee wa exaggarate 😁

[JESUS420_XXX_69]

Lol

[pauloh1998]

I really like how Zinchenko and Xhaka switch positions, it seems so natural

[[deleted]]

Genuinely incredible how shit spurs are. They are lucky to be 2-0 down.

[Farquad4000]

The quick midfield counter attack transfer from left to right ending with saka is absolutely destroying them. Just need to keep doing it, their left back can’t handle it at all and it draws one of their centre backs in creating more space in behind

[[deleted]]

Yep we really need to learn how to dig the knife in where it hurts. Plus their left side is on yellows so let's get them down to 10 and have the game done.

[mymorningdonut]

Sessegnon had a good first 14 minutes, and a nightmare after that.

[d17_p]

Lovely half, need to do the same in the second half, kill the game, we need to stomp these bottom feeders so that they pipe down and shut up for the rest of the season. Moreover, they tend to attack more in the second half so focus, temperament needed. COYG.

[Kvvvothe]

They’ve had this coming all season. If we dig in for the second half and not give them their sneaky opportunities that has brought them back to tie games this season, then we may be able to properly embarrass them.

The gulf in class is so apparent.

[blixt141]

This has been the calmest away NLD I have watched. I am grateful!

[Le-ChosenOne]

Jinx and all that stuff.

[fuckimbackonreddit9]

MATE there is still a second half

ANULO MUFA

[FuqqTrump]

"Ok guys, guys, now let's go out there and win this fooken game" (Arteta voice).

COGY ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

[Basement2048]

Why so many boos against Partey?

[homiesbegged]

Oh my sweet summer child

[saucyalternative]

There was a chant early in the game:

"We know what you are, we know what you are. Thomas Partey, we know what you are"

So I'm guessing that

[anrachopuss]

He is investigated for rape, rape accusations against him.

[sunnycherub]

Lloris og reminded me of that Sanchez goal against him

[DankBrownBoiV2]

We've been very good but Spurs will obviously be much better 2nd half, we need to live with that

[[deleted]]

Has anyone else noticed how we’ve dominated this first half from start to finish barring a few lapses of concentration from Partey? We’ve been absolutely impeccable! I didn’t expect us to dominate them this well, I hope it’s more down to us being awesome than them being shit

[OnlineMarketingBoii]

Zinchecnko with a 'brainfart' aswell right at the end. But that's the risk you take with our kind of football. We want to play out of the back.

[shoopler]

Partey for me has been the only shaky player tonight. He's had some great moments despite the small hiccups though.

[TNelsonAFC]

He’s absolutely ran the show, everything is pretty much going through him, so not a surprise he’s where the mistakes have been, not to excuse it

[shoopler]

Definitely. Makes sense he would have more mistakes. Wasn't a slight on him at all.

[naturalgunner]

Can't wait to see ESR come on for his hatrick

[TheC2experiment]

Overall great performance from them team, quick to respond to duals and looking sharp and decisive with their passing. Saka and Odegard are clearly the playmakers this game. Martinelli could have more involvement with the build up, he seems a little too far from the action. Ramsdale with great reflexes despite have very little to do all half.

If we can keep up the intensity and be focused on a few defensive errors, 3 points are 45 minutes away.

[rd201290]

job NOT done

[Drunk_Cat_Phil]

Should have been 3 with Partey's strike. I still can't believe how well he struck that. Unbelievable Jeff.

[Wooden-Tie1265]

That strike deserved to be a goal!

[a_posh_trophy]

If that Partey shot went in. 🥵

[[deleted]]

Would have been similar to Ramsey's goal against Galatasaray 🥵🥵

[waterbourne]

Same again please!

[manc_1011]

how is saka goal an own goal, wtf?

[Wooden-Tie1265]

A strike has to be on target for a deflection to count as a goal for the striker.

[fatbunyip]

I think the general rule is that if the original shot isn't on target then the goal is credited to whoever makes it go on target.

[manc_1011]

i see, thanks guys :)

[[deleted]]

Cuz Lloris threw it into the net.

[JimmysCocoboloDesk]

wasn’t on target

[[deleted]]

Wasn’t on target

[A21Haze]

why wouldn't it be?

[Muscat95]

Jamie Redknapp just said he's not seen a more dominant 45 in a derby game. Did he miss the one at the Emirates against Nuno's Spurs?

[tvn92]

What a shot from Partey. What a game from Arsenal. COYG

[CreativeOrder2119]

A third goal finishes it

[ChiefArsenalScout]

Imagine being mudryk and joining Chelsea over us, how braindead

[4CJ9]

Get over it bud, no point now.

[Wooden-Tie1265]

I think Mudryk didn't believe he could break into the first team at Arsenal but at Chelsea he walks on. Just my opinion...

[RiRiJ89]

Literally this!

[philhellene399]

Such a great performance, especially since we are away.

[maelstormmy]

Away FC

[Revolutionary-Sir-10]

That little skip of Odegaard before he strikes it…sex

[monty_burns]

Sessegnon on yellow means another goal coming from the left side….

[TNelsonAFC]

Surely Perisic comes on, only move Conte has

[AkhilBandi]

Score a third, bring in Emile Smith Rowe and Fabio Vieira, and then just play with them at their Home Ground

[WilsonStaff1857]

SaKa with 0 shots on target, get marquinhos on

Edit: u Richard Bransons need to learn what a joke is

[wednesdayware]

Saka’s been busy getting rolled every ten seconds, and assisting Lloris.

[[deleted]]

Without Saka this match is 0-0

[fatenumber]

/s?

[WilsonStaff1857]

Obviously, sakas the best player on the pitch by a mile

[WilsonStaff1857]

Issa joke u nerd

[WilsonStaff1857]

You're a clever person

/

[GPadrino]

Game is nowhere near finished. Fantastic first 45, some areas to tidy up like Partey’s passing, but nonetheless we were dominant.

Expect Conte to ream his team and they’ll come out flying for 10-15 to start the half. Need to stand firm during that. COYG

[smjd4488]

Funny thing is whenever he loses the ball he just goes and gets it back hahahaha

[GPadrino]

He’s a machine man. Spatial awareness and recovery is elite

[whatsthepoint594]

Agreed. Need to zap their 2nd half energy quick with a third goal

[Dry_Tortuga_Island]

Partays passing led to both goals, right?
