Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[frush11]

I’m still mad in the manner in which we lost that game. Even a draw would’ve been a terrible result. City had no right getting anything from that game and we gifted them three points. That soft underbelly being exposed time and time again.

How long will we settle for mediocrity? We spent years fighting for top 4 and just making up the numbers in the champions league.

We got rid of wenger because we were pedalling staying still. We replace him with Emery, and stay in the same position. We spend millions and bring Arteta and take two steps backwards.

We need to stop acting like we can’t compete with the big boys. We have spent a huge amount on transfers over the past ten years; Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette, Auba, Pepe, Ben White etc. Yeah, we can blame our owner all we want but let’s not act like we haven’t spent big bucks.

There’s zero excuse to not challenge for the title after all these years. Liverpool have done it and they haven’t spent as much as City (although they have bought expensive players too). Honestly, what’s Arsenal’s excuse?

Either our scouting system is flawed or our managers are not getting the best out of our talent?

Stop looking for things to complain about. This is the best squad we've had in years. And they keep improving

Liverpool will be the true test. We’re playing at home and haven’t had a midweek European game unlike them. I’m happy with the win today but if Arsenal can’t even salvage a point and get bent over, Arteta should really come under harsh scrutiny.

He has been coasting for having such an underwhelming season. He’s really got to pull something out of the bag on Wednesday.

You're becoming one off those fans. Underwhelming season, what the fukk are you talking about.

Dude seriously, look at the results after the first 3 matches. Just say you don't like Mikel and keep it pushing

We are Torino Napoli Scudetto season is still alive

Dembele been cooking in this match. And some Barca fans said he was the problem

Good to see Auba bagging goals as well.

Arsenal are in a good position right now. A young team with a high ceiling. If they can get Saliba back from Marseille and he performs well, it'd give Arteta more options e.g. playing with a back 3.

MO8 and Saka been immense. ESR is a good goal-scoring midfielder. All they lack is a clinical striker (word on the street it Osimhen might be on the market this summer )

Xavi has awoken Dembele

It’s understandable breh. When you’ve been shyt for long, you don’t expect to become good overnight. Cautious optimism

ADL spent 70m and going off previous history will probably asking for 100m. So that basically leaves his options to being PSG.

Camp Nou/spanish Barca fans actually like Dembele because Spain appreciate talent and teckkers.

they just fell victim to Laporta's media propaganda for a bit in January and were mad he's not trying to extend right away.

it's the english speaking Barca fans online that always hate on him because they are obsessed with stats

Barca fans were booing him before he shat all over Bilbao or whoever

Rather him stay at Napoli than go to PSG. At least Spaletti has a plan and Napoli has a good foundation. They just need some more depth and they'd be perennial title challengers. Looks like UCL ball is already a lock for next year.

Side Note: Barca women have played 24 games, won 24. Scored 136 and only conceded 6?!?

The disparity you see in the women's game is something else.

I know, That's why I said they only fell victim to Laporta's media propaganda for a months. and they were only booing him because they feel he trying to walk out on them.
but after that match, even Xavi said he would turn those booes right back into cheers

Camp Nou has always liked Dembele. they have been much more forgiving to him than they have Greizman and Coutinho. even with all the stories about not being committed and not showing up for training and being late his first 3 years there, they still got behind him.
