I just saw West Ham’s fixtures, they don’t look good. Probably favorites to go down.
Fulham at home pfffff...there is no absolutely excuse. Arsenal have to take all three points.
Yes we have to. I think we need Saka fit and fresh for the Fulham game, so maybe start Madueke against Athletico.
It's West Ham's relegation scrap that worries me. As much as it would be useful to have Brentford go into their ¢11eh game on a win I hope West Ham beat them this weekend (and that Villa does what must be done) to give the Hammers some breathing room before we face them.
we just need to make sure we send out the activation signal to trigger all our sleeper agents over there
Heh they will probably play absolute blinders, knowing our luck!

It really is a mini-league. Whoever wins out the season wins the title. I honestly don't think it will come down to goal difference. One will drop points. We just have to make sure it's not us.

Both teams could still drop points.
Plenty still to play for.
Will be interesting to see how Utd get on next season playing more than 40 games. Assuming they progress in all competitions it's likely to stretch them as much us other top teams have found.
Some of...
We shall see.
Aunty, balls, uncle etc.
There's absolutely no reason why we can't do it, as long as Arsenal don't make Arsenal their biggest threat

Some of their fans think they could have made a surge for the title had they sacked Amorin earlier.
haha.
Some things never change.
Tis true!
Looks like the ref has heard you. Only for United. LOL

Never a foul
Brentford should have won
Yes they were the better side, played some lovely stuff, technical ability all over the shop.

Collins you idiot! That's two needless free kicks in attacking positions.
But in all honesty the domestic leagues will do bugger all about it.

Brentford will cause C115y problems
Not if they're as open as they've been tonight. Thiago and Shade better turn up cos they've been awful tonight.
As soon as he spots a pull or block he blows the whistle and gives a fk or pen depending on who is penalised, mistakes will be made but it will also send a message to clubs to clean up their act.

That might help, it's just so hard for the ref to watch all 20+ players jostling for position prior to the kick and endless VAR reviews would be excruciating.

The argument is that the ball is not in play until kicked. I really don't want VAR involved or take to an such an antiseptic level there has to be another way,

Why do we not work him onto his right? The cutting in and shooting from the left channel has only worked on a couple of occasions this season, but he only has to unleash that cannon of a right foot if running on to the ball on the right.

It's a more open game both sides playing free flowing football. The Bees have been arguably the better team tonight, but just can't score.

They've been gash. Where was this performance against us?
I see why Thiago may be sought after but some clubs might not be keen. Hit a purple patch, but his performance tonight leaves a lot to be desired.

Shirt grabbing is the worst. Hated it so much when I played youth footy, some defender cunt pulling me back. I'd usually get booked or sent off for my reaction. LOL.

You usually see a card for a cynical shirt pull or blocking move stopping an attack in open play outside the area so why not for any shirt pull in the box which is even more cynical.
But if there is more than one such instance happening at the same time…….?
Book both offenders or multiple if needs be and var can maybe determine the first serious offender and the decision can be given one way or the other.
Fans hate it and it fucking annoys me when I hear some say it's all part of the theatre, bollocks is it.

I've become wound up by the lack of professionalism shown by some of our players over the past few months. Not a matter of skill or application, more doing the simple things well consistently. They've been abysmal on that front and it has been incredibly frustrating watching them not learning from it.

Grabbing a shirt should be the same rules, the governing bodies have allowed it to get out of hand and it is a blight on the game.
They claim it's because C115eh "are not a real club and their successes are worthless".

They have a bee in their bonnets about Arteta which makes no fucking sense. What, when, how? Watch managers on the sidelines, most of them are far worse than Arteta.

in other words, fragile ego syndrome. It's better to back a club who are ruining the game completely than the alternative of having a legitimate club win and make them feel shittier about their own club?

Some Scouse Cunts supporting people that I know are desperate for C115eh to win the league... I've questioned their sanity!
I mean, how and why would they want that?!
A combination of knowing fewer City fans in real life and being able to compartmentalise it by just dismissing City as cheats. Just another hollow trophy on top of the rest which they gained by ill means.
Where as if Arsenal wins, it means a lot more. Arsenal fans will also be understandably unbearable should we win it. The whole fucking football world deserves it.
Nah, top players fluff their lines too often in relatively straightforward positions.
Another thing I've noticed is not passing to team mates in better positions. So many selfish cunts, like Diarra for Sunderland against Villa, who then went up the other end and scored the winner.
ask them. I'd like to know as well

I watch Brentford knock it about quickly and positively wonder why we can't do the same.
Coz our players are shit scared of making a mistake and getting a bollocking from Tet
Bees have lots of players that can dribble, create space.
Need Brentford to win, keep up momentum, they play C115eh cunts soon and they are in with a shout for Europe places
They need Henderson, Janelt and Henry back if they're going to put up any resistance against City.
They are so open in the midfield, though. Been hit on the break a couple of times.
True, but they are starting to push Yanited back. Can see them getting an equaliser. Certainly entertaining to watch. Arteta wouldn't like it.
God, look how uncertain they look in defence compared to the rock solid unit we came up against.

probably true... but you don't bench your starting #10 in the toughest home game of the season.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly. I was thinking from a purely cold hearted, football business pov.
The decision to reduce Nwaneris involvement and buy Madueke and give him those minutes instead has been nothing short of disastrous.

"our tea lady was accused of releasing a silent but deadly fart on a windy day in the North Bank!"
she did what now?!? jesus christ, fucking sack her immediately!
I see the new Marseille manager is a complete cunt.
Already discussed here, but publicly singling out Nwaneri for not "showing enough commitment" is bang out of order.

Reminds me of Amorin's sidelining of Mainoo, which has proven to be unnecessary and driven by principle rather than fact judging by his performances since Carrick reinstated him.
I suspect the manager said that about Ethan cos it's Arsenal and it'll generate headlines, especially with an excitable online fan base who'll react if our tea lady was accused of releasing a silent but deadly fart on a windy day in the North Bank!

Nwaneri was basically the only proper CAM back-up to (injured) Ødegaard at the start of 24/25.
Really speaks to how disastrous that summer was if Arteta still doesn’t think Nwaneri is ready…
What annoys me is attacking prowess really does seem to be down the pecking order and defensive capabilities in our midfield and forward players seem to be prioritised.
Hopefully when we win the League and CL double Arteta will have a rethink about how we play having won some silverware.
I agree, but I get the feeling that Arteta either believes him not to be ready or not what he wants in an attacking player, doesn't do enough defending?

Agree 100% on both. It was a lot of money to spend on a player who doesn't appear in any way shape or form better than Nwaneri. With MLS, we don't know what happens in training, but if they haven't been teaching him to play that position then it seems pretty silly to me. He surely could have given Zubimendi a rest in certain games.
Nwaneri could potentially improve our current attack.

Well blogged.
I would love to see similar numbers for other teams. Is anyone aware of a source?
Those numbers look terrible but maybe every team has similar figures.
BBC need to update the table they did a couple months ago. We were top of the quantity table at that time and our injuries have only accelerated since then. if I had to guess I'd say Sp*rs might be the only side who might've had more.
Arse!
well in, hazza!
top of the morning table toppers!
"all the Arse girls and boys will wake bright and early, they'll rush for their toys, and then - oh, the injuries; oh, the injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries! That's one thing I hate: all the injuries, injuries, injuries, *INJURIES!"
Eze didn't miss any league games?! cripes, you're right. At least with him we sure got lucky with the timing of that interlull.
Looking forward to Bayern - PSG. I really like the way PSG play, but I think Bayern will go through. Excellent quality in attack for both sides.
I can’t see Bayern getting much, too slow and ponderous when up against PSG
It makes sense if he's not gonna use them because it's straight to the bottom line.
Will feel less generous if he goes and spends the proceeds on more road runners like Tonali and Gordon.
No, it doesn't make sense. Part of the joy of supporting Arsenal is watching players come through and thrive. It binds me to the club in a way I cannot describe, partly cos I suspect it's the nebulous DNA thing. Also, after being scarred by so many players Wenger developed and gave opportunities to only to watch them turn their backs on him as soon as other big clubs fluttered eyelashes at them, I think our academy players are way less likely to flounce off like that, although I accept the cases of Heaven and Chido may undermine that point.

That is why clubs have academies, you occasionally get one or two gems who become permanent fixtures while the rest are a level below what the manager wants and will be sold for a reasonable price to enable purchasing a better player.
ESR, Nelson, Patino, Balogun, Nketiah, Willock the list goes on of players who some of us thought would be regulars and are now either bit part players or playing at a lower level.
Out of the two I would have thought Nwaneri would have been the better bet but I am not sure Arteta is interested in keeping him.

But i still wouldn't write off us or Atletico in the final, one offs can throw up some strange results and form goes out of the window.

I'm not sure "witch" works because, presumably, Arteta didn't actually want that outcome, in which case he would be the world's worst witch or even an anti-witch.
Maybe it's about Arteta giving the accidental evil eye, in which case all Arsenal players should be handed protective amulets immediately.
"Begizko" means evil eye in Basque (I looked it up), although I suspect it's of the non-accidental variety.
In any case, I think there's a perfectly acceptable Castilian/English phrase to sum up Arteta's injury jinx, if indeed there is one: es un puto gafe/he's a fucking Jonah

Can we also ask that the next time we have a player that appears to be indestructible, Mikel keeps it to himself? No point in invoking that great god Murphy and his Universal Law!
arse!
well in hazza!

Well blogged.
I would love to see similar numbers for other teams. Is anyone aware of a source?
Those numbers look terrible but maybe every team has similar figures.
The BBC published some data in January. They did number of injuries but more interestingly days lost. On the latter we were behind only Newcastle and Spurs but to be honest we weren't that far away from other clubs. We'd lost 603 days and City 512. We'd had 19 injuries and they'd had 16. I guess you take, for example, Jesus out of the mix and the difference in days disappears. I think it is what it is. Players get injured. I think the bigger issue is why our backups aren't at the level (Noni and Vik?) and why some of our players look knackered.
If you do a quick Google there's lots of injury data out there and we're fairly average in terms of the number of injuries.
The problem is if you're, for example, Brentford then lots of injuries might be the difference between 10th and 6th but our margins are really fine which means the impact is seismic.
Although that why we have big squad. I think the issue isn't injuries per se. It's that players like Noni and Vik have struggled. The drop off shouldn't be this big when we've spent what we've spent.
Sorry mrs, I'm sticking to a witch
The Wicked Witch of the Basque
Tsk Arteta can't be a witch he's a bloke - he must be a wizard.
We just need to play a lion and a witch with him to get the best out of him
If Arteta is the witch who is the lion?
Fuck off Hazza.
And despite this, we are top of the league with four games to go.

Arse.
Well in hazza!
Well in goat-felcher.
Raya has 16 clean sheets out of 34 league games.
We need to work on our finishing.
Maybe just get everyone to kick it reallly hard against that wardrobe we’ve been playing ...

Ditto Ben White the mentality monster.
Downside he looks permanently physically broken.
Ditto Bukayo. Kicked up and down.Arteta said he had to learn to take all abuse. Seems to be paying for it now. Hope he gets back to what he was.
Our players give a lot. Absence of great strikers means they have to give even more. No one taking the pressure off at the top.
They are like inverse Van Persies.
The Dutch Davy Crocket was allegedly an expert at managing his career. Clocking in 12 games a season. Until it was time to showcase for a move. Then the glory season for another team.

But still, FO
No point me pretending to be a sports physiologist.
But.....a lot of sprinting.We funnel/sprint back like demons. A lot of pressing.
We are a physical side.
We are big. More strain on joints etc.
Every game is a struggle. Wolves at home.Championship sides in the FA cup.
It's like every fixture pushes us further into the red zone. A friendly tie against Islington under 9s would involve extra time, fine margins, finally sealed by an own goal from a set piece in the 119th minute.The exception being Sp*!s. No game is a rest.
A bit like Havertz, Odegaard chased like a dervish. He seemed to be powered by some nuclear version of Duracel batteries. Then he wasnt. He now looks like he is the only man from his unit to survive 3 years on the Burma railway.Long narrow road to the Northbank.
Dunno. Always easy to forget how many injuries other teams get too.
But still..

Maybe just get everyone to kick it reallly hard against that wardrobe we’ve been playing up front and see if the odd one might deflect in.
Sunny morning
Well in hazza
Injury time again.
Why? Every season. Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Arse. Well in hazza.
Morning all.
