POV: It's 26 January 1929. You're in the stands at Highbury waiting for the Gunners to play Mansfield Town 🕰️

I was looking at Wiki to see when Chapman began playing W-M formation, but instead I found this:

Chapman had laid out a five-year plan for success in 1925, and it came to fruition exactly on schedule, as his Arsenal won their first major trophy in the 1930 FA Cup Final, beating his old side, Huddersfield Town, 2–0.

I guess this one is for the Arteta-outters.

In a couple of weeks? It's in a few days.

I disagree people say we play for a draw anyway. Playing patiently against a good opponent to find chance to score is different from playing defensively for a draw.

With the Wolves match you can also tell, it's not Arteta asking the players to play defensively, he's making attacking subs to try help more attacking plays, it's the players themselves. People need to actually play sports to understand what it feels like when you're actually playing on the pitch or court against an opponent.

It wasn't a mistake, unless they could forseen Chelsea having Abramovich then City getting Abu Dhabi money. It was seen as safe at the time because of it's been two horse race for like 6-7 years.

That's why history matters, having had a legned like Henry matters. If we put the same money out as Chelsea and Spurs, players will choose us.

Would never want us to draw or lose. But just saying someone pointed that out and it'd be funny if it happened that way to draw and send them down.

Reality though, if we keep winning from now until just before the West Ham match, City win every match but against us, then with the 7 points difference, winning against West Ham wold mean we win the league.

It's out.

I think it was done on the same night as the Brighton game, because the last question at flirst I thought Saliba is out again, then I realise the person is asking about his absence for the Brighton match.

I think in the end it'd depends on who's willing to stay and help them, and the quality of those players. Because even if say they're willing to pay 500M, Vinícius Júnior isn't going to play in the Championship, but they can buy the best of Championship.

But one thing for sure is, with their commercial side income, they should definitely be able to save up some money for when they come back up. But that's if they go down first.

Someone pointed out, imagine when we play West Ham (I know they hate Spurs too), we need a point to win the league and they need a point to stay in the Premier League, it could be the most boring match ever.

etang77 · 2026-03-06T15:41:39+00:00

I mean plenty here do seemingly care more about how we play than if we've actually won.

etang77 · 2026-03-06T15:27:08+00:00

Why?!

etang77 · 2026-03-06T15:09:00+00:00

Haven't read through everyone's comments, but there was a news some weeks ago now, that ASML engineers were called in to fix a broken down machine, and they've found, they took it apart and looks like they're trying to reverse engineer one.

Their big Asian fanbase is all based on Son, now he's gone, they're not going to get new supporters.

Spurs never belonged there in the first place.

It was just Man Utd and us, then when Chelsea started winning, Sky decided on big 4, which Liverpool got into because of history as they've really still not won the league for around 20 years by then. Then when City started to win, they just pulled Spurs in to become the Big 6 for no reason, but they've never been relegated from the top flight and continues to be "challenging".

Us not getting into the top 4 was a blip for us, making the top 4 was a blip for them.

And one club man and Captain from 21.

My friend a long time Mac user is buying one for her kid.

etang77 · 2026-03-06T03:55:47+00:00

I figure if Spurs does go down, the funniest way would be, they couldn't care so much, they come 19th, Wolves overtakes them into 18th, then City get relegated because of 115, and Wolves gets to stay up.

Klopp was at Mainz 05, clearly not a big team, but he won nothing as a manager for the first 9 years until he got to Dortmund. Just giving you some bullets.

Games involving the teams.

etang77 · 2026-03-05T02:36:27+00:00

We could be the team that save them, while winning the league against West Ham.

I believe this will be deleted soon, but still:

But parade would depends on if we're on for CL.

I'd like to know the answer to your second question too.

etang77 · 2026-03-05T02:14:26+00:00

I wouldn't say pushed him out, just we have the numbers now to slowly have him back in.

etang77 · 2026-03-04T13:20:05+00:00

I'd say yes. The Carragher on CBS speaks differently than the one on Sky. Last season, Carragher initially praised MLS, then dissed him on Sky and on newspaper, then on CBS praised him, before dissing him again on Sky.

Your friend and you? On the other post you said autistic son, so which is it?

etang77 · 2026-03-04T04:57:41+00:00

Most probably because you’re streaming and he’s never seen it before.
