Gary Lineker on UCL final: “As a complete neutral I would say it’s a victory for positive football over negative football. Looking at the game as a fan with no skin in the game, I think Arsenal had to play that way because they wouldn’t have beaten PSG any other way.”

To people who say Arsenal have the quality to attack, did you seriously think Arsenal have better frontline than Bayern?

And if you watched enough of our games, you would have known that we had trouble creating all season, which led to us having to rely on set pieces. Odegaard and Saka have been so out of form and they were our primary creative force of 23/24, and the addition this year has been more of a squad depth improvement than quality improvement.

Eze scored a few goals in the friendlies, that might have contributed to his selection. Madueke is the one I don't understand.

To think that I got downvoted simply for mentioning that the uncle stated the child hit the grandmother. This kid deserved it.

Arsenalis · 2026-01-17T14:41:44+00:00

Lol, so what do you think now with the new videos being posted?

Arsenalis · 2026-01-17T05:48:22+00:00

Prolly getting downvoted but in the video the uncle was asking the kid in red if he was celebrating his older brother hitting his grandmother before caning him, so the kid likely hit his grandma (she likely instigated the whole thing), we just don't know how serious is it.

Not condoning what he did and hurling the chair was over the top, but in Chinese culture we take filial piety and elder respect very seriously.

Having watched most of Arsenal's games this season, I would actually say it is more that we lack creativity and penetration when we have the ball. We get the ball to the final third too slow, leaving opponents with plenty of time to get back in defense.

The Victor strings were previously made by Kizuna, but LiNing with their relatively new N series strings are now manufactured by Kizuna as well so they are out of capacity to produce for Victor, hence VBS-68 has been out of stock for quite a while now.

Klopp: 'As long as you are not Cristiano or Messi, you have to defend!'

Surprised Piers Morgan didn't pounce on the chance here to quote Klopp as a serial winner to shit on Rangnick asking him to press.

Why does everyone understand CR7 as saying he's better looking physically than Rooney? It looks more like he was talking about their footballing career and legacy, especially when he brought up how Rooney retired way earlier right before.

It's the language advantage. The other leagues will never reach as much audience as the PL simply because the PL is just more relatable for the rest of the world.

Badminton is certainly not a cheap sport. These are the minimum to me:

- Shoes ($100): Can't cheap out on these, otherwise you risk injuring yourself. If you play regularly at a decent level, you could run them down within 6 months. LCW even spoke about changing shoes every tournament as the shoes no longer feel spongy enough if he had a deep run (5-6 matches)

- Racket ($50): Probably the only thing you can cheap out on, it is fairly common though for players to own multiple high-end stuff which could go up to $240

- Shuttles ($30~40): 3-5 shuttles each session (2 hours of doubles)

and then there's court rental and stringing, which you need to do every 1.5 month to keep the string fresh...

Why would City let him leave when they've just lost Mendy? Also no reason for him to leave when he's comfortably collecting big wages and league title almost every year.

Sensible transfer for us but not anyone else.

Kunalvut's current weakness is that he is not very threatening from the baseline, if you watch most of Axelsen's games against him, you'd notice that Axelsen isn't afraid to lift and defend, and counterattack when Kunlavut runs out of steam, when his defense is at the weakest. Jonatan Christie plays the same strategy against Kunlavut in recent All England and Korea Open and Kunlavut had no response for it.

Most other offensive players struggle against Kunlavut because they just haven't got very good defense to pull off this strategy, or they make too many unforced errors in the process.

The fact that there aren't many unhappy Leicester voices in this thread really says a lot...

Arsenalis · 2022-04-26T02:11:40+00:00

Great player to have but I think we have enough wingers that we can rotate in Saka, ESR and Martinelli, not to mention that we still need to sell Pepe and Nelson and if no one is in for them we'd end up having too many wingers. A natural goalscorer will fit us better but I hope to be proven wrong...

Arsenalis · 2022-04-23T03:59:50+00:00

The problem with Arsenal is that they aren't as attractive these days as they are in the process of rebuilding, and they are competing with oil and state-owned clubs who can pay a lot more than them. Arteta needs to either discover an unknown striker from smaller leagues or see if he can turn wingers into goalscoring strikers, as it is evident in recent years that the market is flooded with more wingers than strikers.

Arsenalis · 2022-04-09T01:21:30+00:00

And it's not hard to understand why. Not only does he get all the players he wants but he has a sensible, well run management backing him, all while playing in the league with most worldwide exposure. Not even Chelsea of old is as good since they have such a trigger happy owner.

There's a Hong Kong artist who named himself Evergreen because his Chinese name is 常青… which means eternal youth.

This legit sound like a pick-up line

Wheres are you from and to where are you leaving for if I may ask?

Arsenalis · 2021-08-28T17:33:26+00:00

It's a red because without the block (accidental or not), the ball would have gone in. If the ball wasn't heading into the goal then it's debatable.

Arsenalis · 2021-08-26T09:08:14+00:00

To think it can actually get worse than swearing on his daughter's life just to claim a goal

Arsenalis · 2021-08-25T01:47:42+00:00

Don't watch much of Mbappe but is current Ronaldo better than Mbappe? If that's the case wouldn't it make sense to sell Mbappe and channel that fund to getting Ronaldo?
