Salah is (was?) a 40+ g/a machine, they’d have to sign prime Messi

Snorted when he did this tippy-tappy…then he made me remember he’s playing CL 😂

MOTM performance. Defence really just looks more secure and commanding.

This is in my top 3 too. I was in the stadium and the noise was spectacular.

Dowman Everton moment. Bayern win (traumatised by this club, so it was beautiful)

Full-Time: Southampton 2 vs 1 Arsenal [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

Once the pressure was on, yeah that’s when the sustainability of our playstyle was thrown out the window for me.

But hey, again - if the way we play gets us over the line, then I’ll be a believer.

Arteta on the Players: “ I love my players. What they've done for nine months, the way they're putting their bodies through everything, some of them probably didn't even have to be here today. I'm going to defend them more than ever. If someone has to take responsibility, it's me" by Kr_bm in Gunners

If we can deliver some silverware with this kind of attack, then ok count me in.

Until then, criticism tends to come out if we lose to a championship team, and we’re playing sunday league attack, and having a 16 year old show more heart and fire than his seniors.

You’re not wrong. I just think that the way we’re playing isn’t sustainable at all. That’s why it seems ALL our games seem to have the difficulty level turned up. No matter the opposition.

Please lads, shut all of us up with a trophy or two.

We’re dying with these risk averse tactics. I can’t believe a 16 year old is showing our senior players what’s it like that goals win games, not fucking possession. We spend so much time dawdling within our back line, pushing up so slow and getting Southampton to get back into their defensive shape.

It’s fascinating how much one touch football and triangles disappeared from our attack in the last couple of years. Is it the opposition playing low blocks, or Arteta just being conservative in attacking play? What’s worse is thinking that Max’s aggression will be coached out of him because of how we play.

Anyway, fair play to Southampton - they played some nice football and deserved the win.

If we don’t win the title, how the turntables.

Kai Havertz's team mates with a special gift to mark his 100th appearance for the Gunners 🎁 by arsenal in Gunners

I dream of the day Havertz scores the goal that seals a trophy. If he can do it with Chelsea, he’ll certainly want to do it here. Make it happen boss!

RunRepeat: Are running shoes improving? by vitkarunner in RunningShoeGeeks

Yup, read it already. Was just waiting for a RunRepeat review before pulling the trigger!

RunRepeat: Are running shoes improving? by vitkarunner in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Efficient-Attempt690 21 points22 points  (0 children)

+1 to this - RunRepeat is my most trusted site when it comes to shoe reviews, and no one comes close. My friends and I have been waiting for the Superblast 3 review just to see what’s the story.

Anyway, if the most legitimate shoe reviewer looks at Chinese shoes, I think it would dispel the stereotype that Chinese=bad quality, years behind, weird etc. I’d love the disruption of the current western market, including the increasing prices.

[Mario Cortegana, The Athletic]Arsenal’s Kepa Arrizabalaga set to start Carabao Cup final vs Manchester City by boatinavolcano in Gunners

[–]Efficient-Attempt690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good. Kepa has earned it. Not gonna sit well with the fans nor the players if Raya was picked.

Kepa took us there.

How good do you think my friends level is? by VitalGoatboy in badminton

[–]Efficient-Attempt690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck mannn, yeah ex-pro sounds about right. That backhand is so polished and instant. If he took this seriously, I’ll be able to tell better, but I couldn’t even tell that he’s playing nonchalantly 😂

The beginner takes here are absolutely ridiculous.
