If we are going to catch wither it's Man United A tip. Don't look down. Relegation fight starts 10 points below us. When we employed Emery we were in that well and truly. Now its not arrogance but we are better than that with a manager who knows exactly what he is doing. So enjoy looking up. Because no one is catching us who are below us . We will lose a few but it feels now that we can get a result against anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's that, I guess, but that's not really the heart of Arsenal's fanbase I saw, which was more towards Finsbury Park. When I say "media ghetto," I don't mean stupid celebs and the lah-de-dah crowd. I mean the majority of people who work in the media in London. Not fashionable, not wealthy, and definitely not too proud of themselves, in my experience. I just mean they have a lot of rocket polisher fans who use their support of the club to seem closer to the common man tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has nothing to do with having a better manager and more cohesive team. More likely that it's something that has nothing to do with football.

If we are going to catch wither it's Man United I really don't think any of those results particularly affect us either way if I'm honest, (apart from the obvious one). But, the standout thing from your post is "Pool". I mean, really? Edited January 22, 2023 by GlobalVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an outsized presence because Finsbury Park, Archway, Stoke Newington are a big media ghetto, or at least used to be. They have a outsized presence because they are the biggest supported club in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly those results that brought me to ask the question - the team I saw play today looked like a mid-table Championship team, and yet I know you've had a string of good results, too many to put down to a lucky streak - so what is it that you usually do that was missing today, were there players out, was it a tactical thing, a bad day? I cannot see any possible way that the team I saw play Leeds today puts together that run of results, it's just peculiar. Not Grumpy as this was only my second missed game all season so happy not to have to endure that.When we beat Liverpool the other week we had 8 players (minus Toney) in the starting line up who played in our last game in the championship so you could well say we are over achieving.Our home form has been excellent and along with getting some good luck at times with decisions we look like we will be in for another season in this predictable dull league.Nothing was missing today and would say that was our strongest side that started so we were just poor and looked happy to get a point and make it 8 games unbeaten.I dare we will eventually be back in the championship as clubs our size will never become established in the PL unless you have a billionaire owner which we haven’t.

He is your main source of goals Some said the same when Eriksen Watkins ect left beat Liverpool a few weeks ago 3 1 without him.The only downside is we are going to miss out on the 50 mill a club would have paid for him.We have already signed his replacement.I expect Toney to get at least a 6 month ban.

Yep it should be a ban as apparently alot of evidence against him but im not sure why its taken so long to ban him. He doesn't come across as a nice bloke to be honest. Very good player but a complete dick. If guilty has massivky let the brentford fans team and management down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If guilty has massivky let the brentford fans team and management down Lets be honest the FA take a lifetime to make a decision for example when they hand out punishments for FFP rule breakers.Toney has to meet the FA and plead guilty then his legal team will try and get a light sentence and could appeal if the sentence is heavy this will all take months and the club think this could take 5 months to conclude.I see most fans of other clubs are questioning why he is still playing but he has to have his chance to state his defence as this could end up with a lifetime ban if it borders on match fixing.I have heard this isn’t the case though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who it is that breaks the rules our nearest and dearest seem to get points deductions when it does not matter and are allowed to take the piss regularly. Helps when you have a fan on the board making a decision. With regards to Toney and betting allegations I don't know enough about it but to me if he bets on his team to win that is OK but to lose or certain outcomes like throw ins, yellow cards and so on is a different matter. If you have faith in your team to win and bet on it and that is breaking the rules I think a massive fine is suffice afterall it's money that counts to the player in that case. If you are doing the other then for sure a massive ban to deter others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Not sure who wanting to win tonight. A draw is probably the best outcome. Nice to be interested in other premier league games for positive reasons again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I'm hoping for a Spurs win as I've said in other threads, we can catch Fulham but I doubt we will be near Spurs come May. Either that or a draw. Edited January 23, 2023 by GlobalVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
