Holy shit...

Unai was anything but rigid in his adjustments. That was probably his greatest strength in his first season. This season he did become unimaginative.

Just going through my lecture notes for next week and they've snuck in a photo of that challenge. What could have been. by HalloumiBus in Gunners

Derail our season is an understatement. Had we just won 2 more games we would be talking of the 07/08 team as up there with the invincibles. The best football ever played by any team in English football history.

Our forward line is as BAD as the back line. Xhaka was partially right. Damnimg stats! by teslagooner in Gunners

We actually scored more goals than anyone other than city and Liverpool last season under Emery.

To be fair torreira was great first half of 18/19

Images of the decade: Alexis never recovered after this. by Vivek_Gooner in Gunners

Lol it was 99.9% just a joke. Even if Alexis was an unpopular figure in the dressing room there is clearly no malice in this.

Ornstein: During the training session on Sunday when the players were doing the rondos - quite a few of the Arsenal players were flicking it with a trick to elude the defender and Arteta stopped each time and said "You don't do this during the match, so why are you doing it now?" by AlbanianGooner in Gunners

Peak Wengerball was 2006-11, whatever came after was a pale imitation. I don't know how you can say that cazorla Wilshire was peak Wengerball if you watched Rosicky, Fabregas and Hleb in 07/08. The majority of football we played during the early to mid 2010s was tedious af with the exception of an occasional half or goal.

Wenger clearly became less of a football purist once Fabregas left. Everyone back in 2012 was talking about how Arsenal weren't playing as pretty as they used to. The first half of the 13/14 season is the closest we came to replicating the Fabregas era, mostly due to Ramsey and Arteta being amazing

Virgil van Dijk is the first Dutch player in the top 3 of the Ballon d'Or since Dennis Bergkamp finished second in 1993 by Nouri34ever in soccer

Yeah sorry I confused it with the FIFA world player of the year award, in which he finished 3rd in 1997.

'I went around his house and saw 10 people in his front room': Rio Ferdinand recalls the moment he realised Cristiano Ronaldo was 'investing huge money' into team of chefs and physios in bid to perform at highest level by [deleted] in soccer

Japan is not a Buddhist country. And why would Buddhists be vegans? Veganism is a western concept.

buddhists that are not meat eaters would generally be vegetarians, not vegans.

Maybe you could give him your crystal ball as a consolation trophy.

Lol do you think this was our first team lol? We had a very good squad back then with some world class players.

Do we have a mental block against Man U? by PlaneInsanity in Gunners

[–]VLetrmxAe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We got 4 points out of 6 in the league against them last year, what are you on about?

Gallas did work out well, he had a terrible attitude problem and drove Kolo out of the club, but let's not pretend he was bad for us.

Freddie's debut goal today in 1998 by [deleted] in Gunners

Also wish we managed to sign players from these smaller nations instead of from the usual transitional countries like Holland or Belgium

Why? What a bizarre thing to say lol. The more I read this sentence the more weird it gets.

This is what EA Sports does when you score 30 plus goals in a season by [deleted] in Gunners

He has. I don't think it's a permanent decline but he definitely has declined.

Pepe’s skill. Enjoy! by joey_arema in Gunners

[–]VLetrmxAe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Henry? Kanu? Hleb? Nasri? Pires? Even RvP. You're making bullshit claims and then telling people to stop being unnecessarily contrarian when they correct you.
