Let’s pick ourselves up
the commentary talking about us being good at stats and still losing the title last season. brother that’s cuz city bought the fucking refs man
Apparently no clean sheets in 6 — I mean, to be fair, we keep having to switch up the back four. But my word we need to fix up.
From Mikel’s press conference:
Do you have any regrets on your actions at Newcastle last year? M: That’s part of the past and part of the situation that happened. You learn from it and you take a lot of positives as well. We moved on. Do you think your comments worked? M: My intention is not that the comments worked. I had to say what I felt on the day. Have the standards of refereeing improved? M: They are certainly trying their best.I’m fully prepared to get fucked back to back.
The man has principles
Tbh this game has been making me realise just how much White does for us. Ødegaard also obviously a big miss.
I miss Ødegaard.
We don’t gel the same way without him.
you know it’s bad though when even Saka doesn’t look much up for it.
I swear, this club and the manchester blue cunts are the worst clubs in the fucking world.
Don’t forget Chelshit.
eh, they’re just funny rn. Under Roman, yes; now, they’re just trying to do a Leeds. Still cunts but not at “worst in the world” levels.
Newcastle kicks it out of bounds and then gets possession back
I am not happy with Trossard. Though to be fair none of the attackers are getting any joy.
Also, why is it that, upon winning an aerial duel, 75% of the time it just goes straight back to the opposition? Do we have shit aim?
Feels like we’ve had the wrong side of the green for most of this season so far.
And it’ll continue because no one wants to admit that the league is fucked.
aghhh so close for Rice.
I think football just isn’t going my way today.
and yes it is a pretty sizeable indictment to Arsenal that I’ve felt bored enough that I’m pulling an FM game up during the actual game.
Trossard off the bench dribbles past both defenders and gets a shot on goal.
Certainly feels like White wasn’t meant to play today from his passing so far.
Seems like half our team is carrying an injury. They all look like they need a 4 week vacation to recover.
Turns out playing 2 90s with 10 men means everyone is shattered already.
fuck.
