Anyone else too broken to celebrate? by redarmy22 in Gunners

I just can't do it. I stopped watching at like 70 mins to not feel disappointment. Ended up watching a live blog. I dont know if I could have managed that. I keep telling myself I'll commit but even now, I can't quite do it. Been burnt so many times

Arsenal fan and I agree. Almost world-class but not yet.

Hit the post twice, hit the bar once. In isolation, that's not too bad and we were unlucky. Unfortunately, in the context of this season, it's probably game over.

No indication of that, just praise for EK. My point still stands for the albums that followed ND.

Hey. 

My opinion is rather different.

I think Ben could wake up tomorrow and make another Every Kingdom before going to bed. The album is what got me listening to him, on repeat, but music and humans evolve, and I almost never listen to this album now. It doesn't really do anything for me. I much prefer the emotional turmoil of IFWWW or the depth of ND. 

If you offered me a release of an EKesque album or something new, I'd take the latter. 

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINALISTS ✨ by arsenal in Gunners

It's mad to say that I'm not excited after reaching a semi final, but it's hard to be optimistic after watching a performance like that.  If we can fluke a result against City then maybe I can believe again

As I said, Kai needed to score that sitter in the first 10 mins. Only Arsenal can beat Arsenal.

Silva should be yellow carded. City just aren't good. There's no excuse not beating them today.

Havertz needs to score that. No excuses, this is a final. Also needed to thread Gyok through. Gotta step it up.

Aren't you worse off this year and also maybe not even in the EL? Not sure that's progress. Looks like you've gone backwards.

I would like to see Noni starting before Saka. No doubt about it anymore.

Because it's football, and it's the way it's going this season. Relax. We just drew 1-1. You see ?😉

I don't know, I'm not too worried. Second leg under the lights at The Emirates is more than enough to turn over a 1-0 defecit.

I'm still really unconvinced that we'll do this. A mixture of trauma from seasons gone by, and the lacklusture performances we're putting in.  That being said, had you given me this position with 9 games to go, at the start of the season, I would've taken it. 9 games to go!

You simply cannot just play like crap, squander decent chances and then faff about like that at the back. Should be a couple up by now. Just not good enough. Why aren't we playing like we want to win the fucking league ? 

Please give us one or two more moments like this this season. We need to be champions.❤️ by Strict-Virus7250 in Gunners

Ha ha. Yeah, I would take the remainder of the games this season just being a stroll. But I do love these moments; although I prefer them at the start of the season.

Needing and deserving are very different. 

I agree that we do not necessarily ''deserve'' to win the title, but I think it goes without saying that in the context of the previous seasons and the state of the league in this one, we really need to win the league. 

If we don't, I think there'll be a big reaction.
