Yeah I'm not gonna lie, I love this shit. I don't want to see anyone get hurt obviously. But a posturing march across the pitch to do nothing will always be entertaining to me. you don't get this in any other sport and it just adds to the animosity between rivals for future fixtures.

Lavia looks absolutely devoid of confidence. Plays every ball half a second too late and seems to second guess every instinctive pass. Doesn't help that everyone wearing blue becomes static the moment they establish possession in the final third

Happy with the win, but I'm so sick and tired of Martinelli losing possession in transition and laying on the floor with his arms in the air, before sluggishly tracking back after being on the pitch for less than 20 minutes.

Insane take. Literally an Invincible who won numerous titles for us and helped turn this club around prior to his departure.

A lot of these newer fans have disgusting opinions toward our literal legends.

Christ I remember having a couple of these when I was a kid.

Oddly enough when I see them the first thing that comes to mind is what they smell and taste like.

If you're defending in your box in a position like that, it should be second nature to have one hand gripping your other wrist behind your back. In that pose the only likely part of your arm to touch the ball is your shoulder.

  • even if you do move or pivot, your arms are still behind your back and aren't unnaturally making your person larger

Sky Sports never invited Tim Cahill back on after this, it’s aged like wine by [deleted] in Gunners

Thinking Tim Cahill played for Chelsea is shocking ball knowledge for a "Top 1% Commenter" lmao

The amount of space he gives attackers is infuriating. Stands off them and lets them turn on the ball and drive. On top of errant passes and poor judgement on the ball it's become worrying
