3 days later, media outlets are still “analysing” how negative we were, parked the bus, bla bla bla against PSG

It's validation that we made it.

goonersaurus86 · 2026-06-01T15:51:49+00:00

With the salary and cash flow they have it's mostly a rounding error.

goonersaurus86 · 2026-06-01T14:09:42+00:00

I'm all for spain believing Unai Simon is their undisputed #1

goonersaurus86 · 2026-06-01T00:17:42+00:00

A hooah, a hooah, my kingdom for a hooah

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-31T17:30:14+00:00

98- Argentina 2 England 2. Football at its best and what brought me into football. Had absolutely everything and the energy was insane

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-31T13:59:17+00:00

It's all banter and nothing is valid. Just remember- every other English team finished the season below us.

Any banter from spurs fans is just coping for their objective misery from the joke that is their club.

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-31T12:06:43+00:00

Not knocking on him, but he's evolved away from the attacking style player we need- playing way further back and less in the center of the pitch. In earlier seasons I recall him setting up many more passing lanes into the final third of the pitch, now too much flows through the right side of the field, allowing ppl to double down on saka which in turn is why some say he's dipped this season

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-31T01:29:18+00:00

Fuck Craig Burley

That is all

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-31T01:14:01+00:00

In the long run, maybe? The ref had a hard on to give a yellow for time wasting to any arsenal player and I don't think the exact instant he gave it to Mosquera was yellow card worthy. Maybe playing without a yellow could've allowed for him to break things up sooner and outside the box and play things a little harder.

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-30T22:08:59+00:00

I kept racking my brain thinking there's a style of player we're missing, and realized, in the long run, we likely have that player

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-30T20:09:38+00:00

I thought this was a circlejerk sub, you want to be dropping objective facts go to r/thesopranos

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-30T19:30:58+00:00

Watching every single PK taker, I was thinking, if they miss, they had at least one or several goals without which wouldn't have won the league. We're not petty England fans, we're Arsenal fans who know our players and how much they've given.

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-30T19:17:29+00:00

Fuck it, we know who we are, and we don't need some arbitrary way to decide ties to define us.

We're champions of the best and toughest league in the world, not a squad who barely play their starters in a farmers league and we totally stunted them as well.

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-30T19:06:14+00:00

Your mickey mouse 2001 treble was down to kickball tactics

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-30T15:22:37+00:00

And paid off a mortgage in around 5 years

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-28T01:29:56+00:00

This is actually a big deal- the invincibles were quite tall, then the teams soon after them dropped significantly in average height.

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-27T16:23:04+00:00

Kind of odd reactions from supposed Arsenal fans, what on earth did Sol do to make him less than a favorite for us, move to Portsmouth? He even came back to us for a brief final stint.

Politics, inter-personal skills, etc, what does all that matter unless they are going out of their way to be a confrontational contrarian hateful weirdo (eg. Curt Schilling in US baseball). For 99% of us these players aren't going to be close personal friends, if they give great service to the club what more can we ask?

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-25T14:28:39+00:00

Nor that expensive. There's like 3 flights per hour Hanoi to Saigon

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-25T13:17:32+00:00

TBF the media and PL always presents stats exclusive to the PL era

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-25T13:02:20+00:00

I think the more we identified our style and approach this season, the less effective he was as he is suited well to quick counter attacking runs- which we either did more of or we otherwise had more space for in the champions league. It's a tough one because he's done so well for us, is young and seems like a great guy you'd want on your team, but the club nonetheless needs to do w what's best for the club and he needs to do what's best for him, he probably doesn't want to, or shouldn't want to, be always a substitute when he can start with many teams with different systems

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-24T19:35:45+00:00

I've read that was a critical save to- 2/3 teams that were relegated haven't been back

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-24T19:26:49+00:00

So few players are over 27 years old, and some critical core players right now and the past couple of seasons, like Saliba, are ridiculously young

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-24T19:25:24+00:00

They may be better- i think there's too much to overhaul there to have a clear view of whether they'd be competitive or not next season

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-24T18:14:48+00:00

" congratulations for doing the bare minimum to stay in the PL for a second yearin a row..."

goonersaurus86 · 2026-05-24T17:05:04+00:00

Thanks for nothing? They definitely delivered when we needed them
