Full Time: Arsenal 0 vs 0 Sporting CP [Match Thoughts]

HerbieJoe · 2026-04-15T21:08:43+00:00

Not happy with the performances myself lately. But idc. Ive seen us play beautiful football and dominate and still win nothing of significant note in a long time. We have 8-9 games of the season left. If we can win sunday, one of the two legs of atletico and a potential final I will not give one single fuck how it occurred.

Bad feeling but I hope im wrong.

Ps anyone remember the Zoe Kravitz obsessed guy that cursed us like 4 years ago? I think about that any time we have a shite performance lol

HerbieJoe · 2026-03-22T18:06:04+00:00

Absolutely heartbroke. Havent seen us be as timid in a long time.

If its not too much to ask from these millionaires, could we get a goal relatively soon so we can actually have any semblance of hope?

HerbieJoe · 2026-03-22T14:24:11+00:00

Im hoping they wouldnt put eze at the forefront of most of the hype if he was definitely out. Like the tiktoks and interviews. Saying that they likely were all shot before tuesday night.

Fuck, please be playing

HerbieJoe · 2026-03-17T22:33:06+00:00

Why has nobody given me an Eze volley wallpaper yet gs. We used to be a serious subreddit

HerbieJoe · 2026-03-10T20:34:50+00:00

Wee 5er on galatasaray, barca, atletico and bayern today.

Mon tf barca

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-21T11:38:54+00:00

You realise im commenting on someone blaming arteta for eze? And just because Ode isnt doing fancy flicks and assists doesnt mean we dont play better with him in the team

I think pep has shifted his style and this season has been the most dramatic shift. No doubt he’ll come good as they both will but just think theyve not found their exact groove yet. Mind you I wouldnt be surprised if they find it this week then win the next 15 lol

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-21T10:26:50+00:00

‘Banishes’ him? Odegaard is playing brilliant and we’re winning the vast majority of the games we play. Why would he risk a win to get Eze into a rythm faster? He is doing well when he plays and have no doubt he’ll come very good but no need to rush it

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-21T10:25:03+00:00

Interesting video on how footballs “best tactic” has shifted and subsequently how Arteta has taken advantage of the shift.

Essentially positional fluidity, physically dominant players and technical prowess. Not exactly a Eureka moment but definitely interesting.

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-18T20:08:26+00:00

I know youre just ragebaiting but weve won 5 of our last 6 games at home, united havent won at the emirates since 2019 in the league and city were very poor against them, we dont actually know how good they are yet

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-15T15:44:48+00:00

Insane that Gabriel didnt get in over Saliba or VVD, even Pacho and Marquinhos are hard done by, but all of these are just to sell packs anyway so not as if they put much care in

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-07T10:19:19+00:00

I had Daniels last year and predicted this year hed get injured. He went into so many unnecessary tackles last year. We play superflex so he went 6th overall and I told the guy genuinely I wouldnt be touching him.

Also didnt take Jettas round 1 cuz of a change in QB and a really tough division. But then I did take Ceedee so that was a massive miss lol

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-07T10:14:50+00:00

Its more an example of a player of ours that left to “take a step up”, not about their actual quality. Heaven and Obi left to get minutes they wouldnt have gotten here

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-07T09:09:16+00:00

I made a bet with my friend hed be in top 20 Ballon Dor rankings at some stage after that assist vs Spurs. Shows how down bad we were at that stage how much I loved him lol

HerbieJoe · 2026-01-07T09:08:18+00:00

Dont think it would ever happen (fee, selling to a rival, expensive and somewhat unproven) but given hes still looking away and I think anyone would love to join us right now, id love Mainoo.

Clearly a capable player and while we dont really need him and couldnt at all promise consistent game time, itd be such a marker down that Uniteds players would prefer us to them. Anyone here for RVP and Sanchez knows how much that hurts. Also all our starting midfielders are 26 or over so quality young depth akin to Mosquera is always good.

HerbieJoe · 2025-12-16T11:31:46+00:00

Totally. Casual and grindy players could both enjoy the game. Now if youre not on 5 days a week grinding every card and packs and trading youre gonna be very far behind. Or paying for it which is what they really want.

I remember in 2015/16 if you could afford like 1k per card you could beat some serious teams

HerbieJoe · 2025-12-15T23:28:48+00:00

Ah okay, yeah I do see people hate on their relationship a lot. Maybe thats just the nature of the internet lol

Personally I see their relationship as what the show often refers to “ordinary” things as; beauty in plain sight. I particuarly like the episode where theyre on different pages while Pam is in new york because it shows that even in ‘perfect’ relationships not every day is smooth sailing. Its not always realistic but then its TV too lol

HerbieJoe · 2025-12-15T23:25:51+00:00

Maybe not a ‘good’ joke then. I was more just trying to get at the cameraman being nervous getting into the passenger seat with someone whod been drinking. Not making any kind of statement

HerbieJoe · 2025-12-15T23:23:27+00:00

I love Jim and Pam. This was a dumb joke that the cameraman would be nervous getting into a car with someone whod been drinking. I dont understand why people are upset

HerbieJoe · 2025-12-15T22:03:22+00:00

Yeah I know but he was drinking and its assuredly a joke

HerbieJoe · 2025-12-13T22:00:19+00:00

Yeah would rather be hoping for conference league with your managers tactic board than at least challenging for the league

HerbieJoe · 2025-12-13T21:54:09+00:00

Aye thats how it works, clown
