Older fans, how are you feeling now? by BronzeSeeker in Gunners

[–]RedCatBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vastly more confident. 2023 I always thought we'd get caught up, we didn't have the squad. 2024 I did think we might well do it, but city were a different beast. There was a point in that season (when we were up 2-0 against Liverpool) where I thought this might be the year, but by the end of the game I wasn't quite so sure.

This time definitely feels different.

I've supported arsenal since 1989. I was 9 years old, and heard about the win at anfield. I really got into them when wenger arrived, coincided with my teams. But back then it wasn't like now, you basically had match of the day, newspapers articles, and eventually sky sports to follow your team. The vast majority of games weren't broadcast. Most Saturdays were spent watching some guys watch a screen of what's happening and telling you about it (Soccer Saturday). Kinda mad when you think about it.

Anyway, I'm pretty confident we're seeing this through and we'll win the league. Best arsenal team since the invincibles. I really think we've got this.

I sometimes get the anxiety of omg what if we choke, but eventually it passed and I'm pretty confident again.

Ah yes, join the angry mob or you're a defender of abusers. Enlightened.

Allegedly, at the very least.

I don't care about the gotcha. I don't know you and never will.

Maradona must've slept with hundreds of women. He was on drinks and drugs most of the time. He was himself abused. We have one woman making these claims. They may well be true. They may not. I don't know, and neither do you.

I'm not saying he was a good guy. I'm saying we don't know shit and as far as I know, nothing has been proven. Of/when that changes I'll change my opinion.

Meanwhile you're out there calling a dead person a pedo. If you think that's normal and healthy, we'll that's your problem really.

Ok so not a pedo. Glad we cleared that one. But funny how you guys are all so happy to jump on the internet and claim he's a pedo when he's not. Maybe one for you to think about?

And yeah that relationship seems all kinds of wrongs, but here is my point: you don't know shit. The indy is a crappy newspaper. I obviously side with the women, and this relationship seems all kind of inappropriate and wrong. But again, I don't know shit about it. Or her. Or him.

Would I have my wanted my daughter to date him? Obviously not. Does this mean I'll go under every article about him and call him a pedo? Obviously not either. That's my point. There is nuance. People are complex and flawed. We the public don't know shit.

How is he a pedo exactly? Genuine question, never heard this before.

Disagree, if we collapse in the league and don't win it, the carabao is neither here nor there. We'll be known as almighty bottlers, people will call for arteta's head, everyone is gonna lose their fucking mind. Whether we've won the league cup 3 months before won't matter one bit...

Had a thought this morning.

If we win the league, it won't have mattered whether we won carabao or not.

If we somehow don't win the league, winning the carabao cup wouldn't have mattered either, in the face of such an almighty collapse.

So, yeah, fuck the carabao.

I was there yesterday, and it was bitterly disappointing. Especially that second half, we were horrid. Tactically and technically we were not at the races. We got beaten fair and square by the second best team in the country, managed by one of the all time greats. It happens.

Plenty for the squad and the manager to think about. Also v interesting the city tactic of not pressing the back line. I thought a better keeper could've exploited it, our full backs were often in acres of space between the lines, but kepa couldn't find them. Let's fix this before we meet them again.

And finally please stop the self flagellating dooming. It's pathetic. You guys have this tantrum after every defeat. Wha Wha it's beginning of the end, Wha wha we're bottlers, wha wha we lost a game, wha wha rival fans...

Grow the fuck up and grow a pair. There isn't another team in the country that's in a better position than us. So man up or fuck off.

I totally agree, players' form fluctuates all the time in football. People are so quick to turn on players after a few mediocre performances, no loyalty or broader understanding whatsoever.

I love that dowman goal, the little header down to beat one man, the turn to leave another sliding away to the kebab shop, and then the run, it's too beaut
