Arsenal Mania
- They play the most entertaining football in the league along with Lfc after selling their club icon. Mik’s 5 year Stalinist plan has so far failed to deliver; so they should be happy that they are mimicking his greatest success without the budget and time required for a moon landing like Arteta has had. As an Arsenal fan i root against Sp.rs every match, yet as a lover of football i look forward to their football. Artetaball in comparison despite massive time and money looks in comparison like walking in in on a fat old couple shagging. After you see it, you wish you didn’t. No joke this season back to falling asleep in matches like his first 2 and a half years
- Artetaball is canned tuna fish on the eyes while Ange's style of football filet mignon
- They've had a great start but have yet to be properly tested.
- Ange has killed it, and him and Emery are proving this multiyear costly project to train a neophyte manager has been a disaster
- Kimchi Messi and Meatball Bale doing bits tonight, shame as both the original Bale and this version are Arsenal fans
- Got a chance to look at Romero tonight.
All, I can say is... :lol:- He was outstanding, to be honest. Him and that Dutch kid look a perfect pairing.
It’s no wonder he was an ever present in a World Cup winning team.
****ing gutted they got him so cheap- Ridiculous how Sp**s stumbled upon Ange. The majority of their fanbase didn’t even want in the summer smh
- I swear i would give the filth Arteta, Kai, and 50 million pound of Stan’s money to give us Ange?
- On just one condition, they must promise to never give either of them back
- 100% I won’t even hide it and that’s not even me jumping on this hype train. You can go back to early last year when I wanted Ange to replace him. I’m a massive fan of the style of football he gets his teams to play and I think he’d be more in the AW type of mould for us, both on and off the pitch imo. Having said that I think at this current time the club have heavily backed Arteta so there’s no point at this stage. Better to just see how everything pans out.
Funnily, I did predict that he’d end up at Sp**s. Had a feeling that Levy would go for him:- VDV is a better defender than Romero already IMO. Able to play both defensive and play restarting roles at the back
- VDV the new VVD? He looks class
- Has there ever been a club more overrated over their first 10 games than this lot?
If there is, I've probably missed them.
They drew at Brentford who looked the likelier to win at the time. Beat a hapless & profligate United (who actually should've won). Beat 3 relegation candidates on the spin (Bournemouth, Burnley & Sheffield United) with the latter needing 2 injury time goals to be defeated.
Let off the hook by us after being made to look ordinary for most of the match.
Needed PGMOL incompetence to beat Liverpool (who would've won had they had 10 men on the pitch, let alone 11).
Barely got past Luton & Palace.
Ironically enough their match against Fulham was their only comprehensive performance.- After the first 10 games of the season: ◎ Arsenal 2003/04: 24 points, 0 defeats ◉ Spurs 2023/24: 26 points, 0 defeats Tottenham are ahead of the Invincibles pace.
Disrespectful is putting it mildly!!
Nothing Sp**s can conjure up in their entire history merits mentioning in the same breath as THAT Arsenal.- Ange was not wanted by Sp**s fans. He lost his top striker (and arguably Sp**s best player of all time) Few expected him to last long given they played United, us and Liverpool in their first 7 games. Starting away to Brentford - we know how difficult that is. That's 4 hard games. Brentford away, United at home. That could have been a 0 pointer.
The easy run came about because they played three promoted sides in Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United, then Bournemouth. That's 4 'easy' games out of 10
I'm not sure I'd describe a team that finished 8th playing teams that finished 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th, 10th and 11th (50% of games v top half teams) as easy.
If anything I'm putting the pressure on them. You've done this it's on you now to sustain it. Saying theyve had it easy, na. That gives them an opt out for when they do lose. No mercy. Let the fall hurt them.- This all reads very much like us last season. The main difference being that sp*rs are ****.
- Personally thought Ange would be gone by Christmas but complete opposite has happened. I don't fear them winning the league or anything but they're serious contenders for CL places now which shouldn't have been possible. Thank **** Kane is gone or a title could've been a possibility.
- It also pisses me off that he can walk in there and get a terrible squad performing like that. It took us a lot of wasted years and loads of personnel changes to get to that
- Great start, fair play. It will all fall apart soon though.
“Fall apart” in terms of top of the table, otherwise a solid season looks on the cards.- Tbf even though I am an Angesexual, I don’t think the Sp**s squad was as poor as it is often made out. Conte just did a terrible, terrible job with them last yr
- imagine Kane scoring his 30-40 goals (in an ange team you would expect this) on top of an in form Son who looks the goods this season. That number of goals would have had them pretty well placed
This might be the most spursy thing of all, Kane‘a timing to leave- Did say Maddison over Havertz all summer btw but certain posters (@drippin) said it was a stupid idea
- I'd still only have taken Maddison from them
- Find it incredibly stupid how people here are trying their hardest to laugh at them when they sit at 26 points after 10 games. It’s extraordinary really.
- Romero is a great defender, if not so good on the ball, Van de Ven looks class on and off the ball. Pedro Porro is good, whilst I rate Destiny Udogie who is only 19 or 20 and looks very comfortable already (a bit like saliba on entering the PL). They have Bissouma who we know is very good, Sarr who is also very young, talented with a massive engine. And their most talented midifielder in Bentancur is just coming back. I think up front they probably need upgrades, Kulu and Richarlison could probably be upgraded on, in adddition to getting another striker. Like us in the past, they drop off considerably outside their first 11
Some very balanced views and posters there.
