Arsenal 22/23 - go to new thread

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Brentford’s goal was offside and also came from a free kick where Toney was fouling Saliba more than Saliba was fouling him.
Having said that, Brentford had plenty of good chances.
That’s the second match running where we’ve conceded to an opposition set piece. Our record defending set pieces was exceptional before that, so whatever our specialist coach was doing in that area, I hope he rediscovers his magic touch.
We’re still playing fairly well, though, so I’m not overly worried. We aren’t actually in all that bad form, so if we continue to play well the result will return.
We could really do with Jesus coming back to unlock tight defences. Nketiah is great against teams who come out to play against us. That’s why he did well in our run of “harder” fixtures. But games like Brentford at home and Everton away suit Jesus more. We need his dribbling skills to find a chink in well-organised teams who sit deep and concede possession.

Will be great when City beat you to the league and then it’s chalked off anyway.
After this weeks revelation, I think most would much rather City win the league as we all know it’s not a valid succes anyway.
"It is the history of the arsenal"
The longer the season goes United’s defeat at Brentford doesn’t even look that bad.
Good team!
Good team!
Well since I don’t know single City fan in real life and their online presence is nonexistent, I will always, always want them to win the title, unless they’re competing against us.
Exactly.
Arsenal fans are so annoying.
You certainly did mateHappy to make your Saturday
good time to be a United fan no matter!Class? Their handling of a certain midfielder doesn’t really ooze class to me.
Draw, and its wide open between the 2.
I’ve said it before, but being someone who lives and travels around manchester often, I can count on one hand how many proper city fans I know.
So funny seeing Arsenal fans getting offended if someone dares to predict City winning the league, they could be 2nd as soon as Wednesday

It's over for them, they'll sneak top 4.
They are confirming that they will make an official complaint to the PL about Brentford's goal. What will that achieve?
Favorable decisions for the next few weeks.
Thought they were bit lucky when ref called foul on Brentford player when Gabriel flopped to ground, it was soft and it's sort of contact that happens all the time in game.
They're bottling it, aren't they?
Its not bottling when most including many arsenal fans are still not expecting to win they title. Although we are dreaming mind you.They're bottling it, aren't they?
I love how the narrative in the media and majority of arsenal fans this morning is that they didn’t drop points yesterday because they were poor and Brentford on the balance of the game deserved at least a point.. no, it’s because VAR robbed them.
Tiny cracks are starting to appear.

Yeah, I came to post basically this. They get to hide behind the VAR stuff, and shift focus away from the performance. I don't know if that's a positive or a negative for them.
Tbh MOTD said Brentford well deserved their point
City are rattled too with the allegations against them this week. They will feel its them vs the world. On the other side Arsenal are Arsenal and therefore its obvious how this is going to turn out.
On track for top 4 still.
City at home
Villa away
Leicester away
They will do these teams very easily. Brentford was a blip.

I'm not sure, what are City's chances against Arsenal?
City win their next 2 games and they are up 3 pts having played 2 games more. That’s even without having one of their customary 10+ wins hot streak.
Arse have looked pretty vulnerable since the Newcastle draw but for the United game, and that could’ve easily been a draw or loss too, playing only a match per week. Sadly, the step up they made this season seems only an improvement from post-Wenger ineptitude to late Wenger era February customary choking.

Fear not, @GoonerInPeace will come and tell us they absolutely wont lose any form, on the contrary.
0 chance.
Arsenal will win their next 3 games very easily. Everton was a miracle and Brentford was a blip.
We'll probably finish above this lot. It's in their post Wenger DNA to bottle these situations. Only worry is the post Fergie DNA is hardly gleaming too.
How exactly was Everton a miracle?0 chance.

Going by your predictions City will batter them.
Bruh, read between the lines.
I'm been trying to pull off the biggest jinx I ever can in the hopes we catch them.
Its fairly obvious.
Good plan love a bit of reverse psychologyAh sorry, silly me.
Carry on the good work.
Playing a midweek game has them confused.
Villa away at lunchtime next. Tricky game.
And the title race hasn't even started yet.
