OutByEaster? Posted January 15, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2023 I actually don't think Arsenal have played very well by their standards this season, they've done well in patches, but I think they have another gear. In commentary, Neville said, "Of course Spurs will be better in the second half..". I think he's wrong, I think Arsenal will be better in the second half and will score three more. The [insert sponsor] stadium will be a cesspit of anger and frustration - which will be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Foden imo They also have ‘that player’ who did ‘that thing’ that no-one is allowed to talk about but everyone knows it was him. I can’t like this Arsenal team knowing that he’s a major part of their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which proves my original point. SKY bigging up this derby in a way they would never ever big up ours. Thanks for the agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only now involved to give evidence for/against the other person he was with at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full of both colours, but very amicable despite the controversy. I can’t imagine the same in Birmingham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 That was pathetic from Xhaka, didn't touch him. Also when did refs stop enforcing players surrounding him, I hate to see that personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 At what point will Kane throw himself to the ground in the penalty area to try and win a penalty? I’m going for 78 mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're missing the point They can big it up as being the big game that it is, that's not a problem But they try and big it up as this big over the top rivalry where they all hate each other and the atmosphere is so incredible and theres an edginess to the game that could spill over at any minute which makes everything dramatic and exciting, that is a problem Yesterday was even worse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Genuine question - is Richarlison really the answer or that good? He always looked a bit lazy, petchulant and shit whenever I've seen him play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I like how Tierney tucks his shirt in proper like. Makes the rest of these modern players look like slobs. All he needs now are black boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
