embarrassing this day in age.


Every VAR decision is hilarious considering there are 50 camera angles of incidents. It is annoying as frick.

Just too many bang average performances from this group

When was the last time we scored a late goal to tie/win a game when we needed it? Luton last year?

Enough can’t be said about the way Odegaard is playing right now, yes he had an assist (when he had acres of space), outside of his leading the press, that guy is killing his in possession

I say most every point dropped since January is on the team. Pre January that was ref and injury and red card nonsense but this is like 3 months now of dumb shite.


12 since January, all draws. It’s the difference in pts from Liverpool and even if you had only dropped 6, we could be comfortably fricking off the rest of the PL games

Arsenal have conceded 38.7% of their Premier League goals this season from set-piece situations. That's the greatest proportion of all PL clubs in 2024-25.


Maybe Jover needs to focus less on scoring from set pieces and figure out how to defend them

April and May is brutal every year. On repeat. I have been nervous about CL qualification for quite some time. At Liverpool, Vs Newcastle are going to both be tough going forward.

Wednesday is going to be look in the mirror for a good bit of Arsenal players. Berta and Mikel looking at them, see how they respond.

It’s been said a bunch, but the lack of quality rotational players is insane.

There are no fast guys to try to dump longballs to. There’s no specialist passers, there’s no guys that can give a go on long range shots. It’s wild how 1 dimensional we are with injuries AND squad building

We’ve got a CL semi in 4 days and all of our normal starters but 2 played basically a full 90 today, and we still managed to lose to a team that had 2 shots on target, and scored them both

We don’t have a deep enough squad. It’s always evident this time of year.

We are still saying we suck without partey in the 1st leg and I feel like we’ve been saying that for years.

And we are relying on sterling and a teen to come on and save that match.

That’s not going to cut it.


We really need a winger, a striker, a dm and a cam.


Unless we sell a cb I really don’t think you need to bring in a defender. Spend most of the money at the top end of the pitch.

I would seriously consider not following unless management changes if they don’t add at least 3 attacking players this window (CF, LW, CAM). I’m tired of watching Trossard do 5 fake shots and pirouttes to get a weak shot saved or blocked. It’s fricking criminal.

We’ve had the same 6 or so attacking players for 3 fricking years and they aren’t good enough.

Since the City game, we’ve scored more than 2 goals in a PL game 1 fricking time, against a relegated squad.

Since that game we’ve scored 14 goals and conceded 8 and had 4 wins, 2 losses (combined 1 goal scored) and drawn 5. We’re barely averaging over a goal a game.

shite is unacceptable and if they don’t transform the attack they are dooming the club to be 2nd fiddle

We could win the CL and STILL need to do all of those things

Newcastle draw was unexpected and massive tbh.

Chelsea will end up beating Liverpool, doubt they even care anymore in the league.

Put Saka there and Nwaneri or Leo on the wing.

We have failed to score more than 1 goal in 17 of our Pl Games this season.


Thats how you lose and draw games with one bad ref call.


It shouldn't be a surprise that us not scoring is what the real problem is.


Im hoping we sign Gyokeres, Willaims/Gittens, a more attacking midfielder and Zubimendi.

And will prob sign a GK.

If you sign gittens i think that opens one more spot because hes english. So you can bring in 6 players and not just 5.

Forest drew today so we just need 3 points to clinch Champions League.

That's nice.

No way we lose at Southampton. Now the other two vs Liverpool and Newcastle who knows

We have been so shite that it gives me confidence that we will actually pull off the Remontada in Paris on Wednesday.

We literally have lost the title over the past 2-3 years b/c of losses to the bottom half of the table. Don't get ahead of yourself.

Southampton is arguably one of the 3 or 4 worst sides ever fielded in the modern Premier League. We are not losing that game

I’m not real confident about tomorrow. Feels a bit like Bayern last year, disappointing result at home, not enough offensive firepower (AGAIN) to go on the road and get a result

Please Berta/Arteta, give us some new blood in the attack phase
