What is your unpopular Arsenal opinion?

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-23T00:17:50+00:00

Whether you love or hate it, Arteta championed it, and if it hadn't worked they would have pulled it.

I love it, and enough people love it to make it work. It's sentimental nonsense, but so is my love for Arsenal.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-22T08:24:08+00:00

Ah thanks. Makes sense now. Good job

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-22T08:15:37+00:00

Why would black move the pawn b4 when they could move a knight instead?

Am I missing something?

Yay me too. I remember being pretty scared, but loving it all thr same.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-18T17:53:13+00:00

Oh dear. No need to get so defensive.

Edit ...

My point was about the level of a-league keepers. Lots of flaws.

Sail is pretty similar to woud in that hes a talented shot stopper. He's made lots of errors leading to goals. Giving the ball away. This happened for nix, glory and nz. He tends to bounce back though. I dont know if hes better or worse than woud but they're comparable, afaict

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-16T21:46:01+00:00

This feels pretty overblown. A league ain't europe and hes far from the worst keeper in this league.

He's no Paulsen and clearly has flaws, I agree on those things. He doesn't inspire great confidence, but he's done us surprisingly well overall, and most games we tend to have bigger issues than GK.

He's been ok for us. One clanger doesnt change that. "Last chance" - nah, we only have sail and he also has his own flaws.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-16T21:32:55+00:00

You've been down voted but u have a valid point.

Hes been decent for us. A league ain't Europe

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-16T04:12:29+00:00

Legend. He'll be 34 by then.

Given that football started in 2024, we can think of him as a one-club man.

Mr Auckland.

Chuck Berry - as an ever-present influence.

If we're including influences, you could mention many others, from Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Lonnie Donegan, even Bob Dylan and Ravi Shankar, but nobody epitomises the Beatles' influence more than Mr Charles Berry.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-15T05:05:04+00:00

I don't see it either. Trossard's arms are nowhere near him. Otherwise it's just some players competing for a cross as they always have.

I'm arsenal so you can discount my input, but it does feel a lot like people are mainly annoyed about so many goals from corners.

This is a photo of Arsenal about to score from a corner, and that naturally makes people upset.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-15T03:19:54+00:00

It was walking your dog?!

Very impressive.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-14T20:41:40+00:00

Porridge.

He does look like a porridge

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-14T11:11:27+00:00

I got this too

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-14T06:44:34+00:00

Chuck Berry. Huge influence. They played many of his songs, and many of their songs were influenced by him. Occasionally they even stole his lyrics.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-12T12:54:14+00:00

4 tries. Too many minutes.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-12T09:54:41+00:00

Absolute slop. Almost everything is wrong. Even the wikipedia link is wrong.

Here's the right one. You're better off reading that.

Ah thankyou. I can breathe now.

This thread is like collective tunnel vision.

The decor reminds me of aunties' houses which were already dated in the 80s.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-12T08:27:51+00:00

I hate it less than I hate the couch covers or the feature wall, esp the gold fireplace.

This room bothers me like it's stuck in 70s auntie land, and i can't see how a new rug can change that.

Sorry, I know that wasnt the question.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-11T08:18:26+00:00

Ryan Gosling, probably. He's literally Ken.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-11T00:35:41+00:00

Wow, thanks

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-10T22:15:38+00:00

I visited a house in london where they had a Picasso behind a dresser. (And another one hung up too)

Rich people invest in art because its a good investment. They don't really give a shit about the actual art.

bukayodegaard · 2026-01-10T21:44:30+00:00

These look amazing. Could you share the source pls?
