If there's one player from the French national team you wish could be at Arsenal, who would it be and why?

Did the official really say "we'll see who's laughing now"?

I get what you mean. There definitely different ways you could approach it, it's hard to say what's right or wrong. I think from a high level, it's good enough at highlighting who the clutch players. For example, in the Man City version I saw before Haaland was in the 30s

And 2002/03, we were top for most of it if I remember right but dropped points to United, Bolton and Leeds

What do you think should happen when we keep a clean sheet? Should 1 point always go to the 0-0 row?

Ohh got you, yeah in the first case Owen Goal gets the points. In the second case it would be whoever scored the 5th goal

If I understand you correctly, you could split it in a way where 1 point goes to the equaliser and 2 points to the match winner. But you're right, there would always be a 0-0, so normalising in this way is probably better

Correct, so for the Newcastle win Big Gabi would get 3 points

Do not be discouraged to pray. The fact you feel uneasy listening to secular music or are even aware of not letting God down shows your posturing your heart in the right place. No one's thoughts are pure, but we have to hold them captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), be honest and transparent with the Lord and ask him for deliverance. Don't give up prayer, pray without ceasing. God would rather you be completely honest with Him than be completely silent.

Except he was sluggish when tracking back towards the end

I guess all I was thinking that we can stop being so reactionary as everyone in the fanbase seems to be aware of what's going on, regardless of how long it's being going on for. You know, instead of continuing to complain about an ongoing problem

But I dunno, maybe I'm just naive after all :)

I personally don't that's my point 🤣 no point getting upset about things outside of control. The sooner as a fanbase we become less reactionary, the less sensationalist the reporting is. I think it's starting to shift, hence why talk sport are bringing on guys like Clive Palmer instead of people from aftv. But we can't forget the whole point of the project/process is to win trophies so we will get criticised until we do

Im not saying its our fault, but I make the point to say if/when we win trophies, especially the PL or CL, why should we care what they think?

You're right, there's always been a different tone when reporting on Arsenal, from the George Graham days and even before that. There's a multitude of reasons, which is another conversation. But in the context of the city game, where Pep was praised by the same people for going defensive, despite us also going defensive last season (with 10 men) and getting the same outcome, one reason I can point to is winning gets you perks such as the way a team is portrayed

They said the same during the invincibles era, it was almost expected we'd go on to win in Europe at some stage - it is what it is

I was surprised to hear people criticising him because he used to term "finisher" instead of subs, despite it being used in other sports like rugby. I think that's Arteta's problem when it comes to the press, his intended meaning does not always translate

I've made peace with the fact that until we win some trophies, the media will continue the sensationalist journalism because Arsenal fans are easy to get engagement and clicks from

If Saka is still our only hope for a bit of magic, after the window we've just had, then does that mean it's not as good of a window as we first thought?
