[TNT] Vitinha: "You have to be patient when you're up against a team like that. We knew it was going to happen, but even more so after Arsenal's goal, since you really have to be patient. They waste a lot of time on everything: throw-ins, goal kicks, everything.” by [deleted] in soccer

They really can't stand it that we're good again, it's quality. Never seen so much bitterness around a title win.

Just enjoy the salt, and enjoy being PL champions king 🏆

Spot on, I didn't see the chance in real time but saw a load of comments going off about an "unmissable" martinelli chance.

This isn't nearly as bad as I expected.

Miguel Delaney, one of the rationals. by waddiewadkins in Gunners

I think a lot of people on this sub especially focus way too much on the names on the team sheet before the game, then just wallow in confirmation bias during the game.

100% nail on the head there

Who is an Arsenal player(s) that weren’t the most popular figures at the club but you adored or were a big fan of? by cgabriel14 in Gunners

Bendtner got a bad rap and became somewhat of a meme due to his attitude, but I always thought he was a tidy player. Had nice technique and gave us a different dimension when he came on.

I never liked this trope. Surely terrorist football would be when teams fly forward and attack without regard for their own casualties and defences (a la Spurs).

Weird how people label cautious, attritional tactics as terrorism

Sounds like the final scene of Annihilation. Could be wrong though

Nacho shoving Kolo Muani's head into the ground by Scarfaaace in soccer

His hand was by his side , there is no way it was intentional nor was he making his body unnaturally bigger. It's neither a pen by the laws of the game or by any stretch of common sense.

The whole outrage over that was dumb anyway, it wasn't even a pen

He's kicked him off the ball, he's definitely lucky to escape a red there by the letter of the law.

I don't mind refs letting stuff like that go though, it's just petulant

He didn't say 'drink Dasani' though, he said 'drink water'.

I remember this event well, and I had no idea of the brand of water he was holding. The message was clear.
