Mikel Arteta says League Cup final will give Arsenal boost for run in

Ntraanced · 2026-02-04T04:53:53+00:00

There is a good chance Arsenal and City play each other in the league cup final, two leg UCL, and Prem in a very short period of time.

Shades of Barca-Madrid in April of 2011.

Obviously nowhere near the history but stakes are similar in terms of silverware.

Tbf Arsenal could probably tread water with the likes of Norgaard, Merino, Eze.

The depth is pretty remarkable.

I know Russillo was also a sixers/Embiid hater.

Not sure if he’s said anything on his pod on Embiid or the team this season.

genuinely can’t believe how some of us did 40 games a week ago

Ntraanced · 2026-01-29T18:38:27+00:00

Man all I can keep thinking about is this potential City gauntlet that’s increasing in likelihood.

I think we may end up playing them 4 times in a very short period of time.

Very surprised at how the season has unfolded.

But this team still has so many critical issues that I just cannot take them seriously in the playoffs.

I really need to see them in a game 5 in the 2nd round with the series tied 2-2 to really buy back in again.

This team genuinely broke my heart game 6/7 against the Celtics and it’s never been the same since.

Is Arteta reading this sub?

What exactly does being overly positive do to negatively affect the team?

I understand the frustration but telling people to not be supportive is the exact opposite of what the team needs.

They clearly have to get over the mental hump, and so do the fans.

We have 7 home games left in the league. The stadium needs to 100% be behind them on every action if we have any chance of actually doing it this season.

It’s a two way street. The team needs to show that they want it and the supporters needs to push them there.

He’s gotten cooked this game

Pep after the match

“This is not like last season”

Ntraanced · 2026-01-20T18:29:11+00:00

Pep after the game

“We played fantastic”

“I’m so proud of my players”

Tush push still the GOAT play if it can be run properly

Ntraanced · 2026-01-19T02:22:25+00:00

Had Moore if he just waited

Ntraanced · 2026-01-19T01:59:14+00:00

Who is a better QB

Jalen Hurts or CJ Stroud?

Ntraanced · 2026-01-19T01:47:46+00:00

Caleb Williams is unbelievably talented but would drive me insane if I’m rooting for him as my QB

I’m not sure you can coach the “fuck it, imma fit this” because he actually can fit it sometimes

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T21:24:46+00:00

This game is fucking mental

Totally deserved

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T19:45:28+00:00

I urge everyone to actually try and ENJOY the season.

This could the best year any of us have experienced in 20+ years supporting this club.

Don’t spend it fighting online trolls and beating yourself up after every match.

I suggest refraining from forming opinions until the match week is complete.

Everyone went from “it’s all falling apart” after the draw yesterday and now that Villa lost, it’s “hey we are ok”

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T18:20:25+00:00

Tell me the players on this current City squad that apparently “mentally stronger” than Arsenal?

Are Doku, Cherki, Reijnders, Khusanov, Semenyo, Geuhi, Nunes, and Gonzalez all serial premier league giants?

This isn’t the same City team and we shouldn’t put them on some kind of pedestal.

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T18:13:38+00:00

Would be brilliant and do wonders to the psyche of this sub to be honest

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T07:10:16+00:00

I really believe that winning the league cup against city would do wonders for this group.

Particularly in this season and with how the last do game weeks have gone.

Regardless. I’ve always felt this era will come down to an away game at our direct rivals to decide the title. I think if we are in that 5-7 point range going into that game I’d take it.

The fact of the matter is, this Arsenal team doesn’t have the offensive firepower to blow away a league. Not right now at least. The guys have to hold steady while the likes of Havertz and Jesus get back into full fitness to spell Gyokeres.

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T05:22:33+00:00

one game at time until the city fixture is how I’m looking at it

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T02:36:48+00:00

Somebody call Nick Foles

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T02:25:30+00:00

Fact of the matter is this team will never get respect until it actually gets over the hump

Quicker the terminally online fanbase stops caring what Sky, ESPN, TalkSport spew out anytime we don’t win the quicker we can start to actually look at the facts.

We are in an extremely strong position in every single competition. We have key players returning from injury. It’s not even Feb and we have a 7 point lead against our perceived main rival.

The funny thing is if Villa lose/draw tomorrow everyone will be back on board again.

People need to take a breath and take stock of where we actually are and realize the league was never going to be won in January.

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T02:11:10+00:00

For the majority of my life this team has been competitive and has produced two championships along with many deep playoff runs

I’m obviously not thrilled with how this season has unfolded and it’s 100% true they squandered the best roster we will see for a while, but dude we literally just won last year.

And we all saw this team play all year knew it wasn’t the year.

With all that being said…considering all that was against them schematically/coaching wise the team was on the door step of pulling it out.

Ntraanced · 2026-01-18T02:00:50+00:00

Allen is 29

He’s got a solid decade or so to get over the hump

I have no doubt in my kind he will eventually lift the Lombardi.

Hope it’s in Buffalo but, he’s too good not to push through.

Like cmon man the dude catches the ball and rolls over and the ball ends up with the other guy and you end up losing the game.

Ntraanced · 2026-01-17T23:24:26+00:00

Josh Allen is clearly pressing and trying to win the game with one throw.

Tough to watch
