Conflicting emotions after that result.
Arsenal 22/23 - go to new thread
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
I'd say the only way to beat city now would be give half the squad dysentery.
Par for the course.
It was an Aladeen result
Yeh I didn't think we'd really do it until maybe a month ago. Then we lost Saliba and Tomi
I still had some hope, but knew we desperately needed Saliba back if we had any chance. Unfortunately his injury is probably worse than we're letting on.
Their season is looking like crap.
Title challenge over with a whimper...DDDL 3 points out of the last 12 is dogshit tbh.
Shame for the Arsenal fans.

Well he certainly can’t talk to any Arsenal fans, is my point.You’ve fecked that up to be fair
Chucked their clubs dignity in the bin all season to win feck all. If it wasn’t City benefitting it’d be glorious.
They've conceded more goals than United so far this season... (3 games in hand for us, but still).
Considering what usually comes out of his mouth I'm surprised he even noticed when he started vomiting.
There is a clear gulf in class between city (when on form and meaning it) and arsenal and pretty much everyone else.
It was verging on embarrassing tonight.
Could and probably should have been 5, 6 or 7.

Is it all cause Aliba got injured?
@TheReligion looks like we were right when we said that Arteta was an idiot for changing his team on Jan 25th.
Who knows what happens if Saka scores that penalty. Football is all about fine margins.
3 points from 12.
That's a vintage bottle. Earthy tones of *sniff sniff* 2007? 2008?

Lost 12 consecutive games in the league in this fixtures, 15 of the last 16, with the sole win being an FAC match with no crowd.
This is just pathetic, probably on par with our Anfield record the last 6-7 years.

I've got no other word for it than embarrassing to be honest. Said it multiple times, I can take getting beat by a better team. I can't accept just gifting them goals, we do it every fecking time. It really is a mental thing now, because we don't even make them work for goals.
Bloody city. Arsenal bottlers
Fair enoughI 4-1 think that the title is gone now.
So basically after all the excitement, Arsenal have ended up with a worse season than Utd.
Both will probably get a UCL place but Utd got a trophy and possibly another. Arsenal just got put back in their place.

huge part of it IMO. Can’t even argue against it being the catalyst for the downfall. Great player.
Good luck with that.
Nah sorry. I'll take a title challenge till the last 7 games in the season ahead of winning a League Cup. I miss the feeling of challenging for a league title this late in the season.
They young enough to go again next season. Liverpool took City to the last game of season twice and it's going to take similar excellence to succeed.
Aahhh solid reference!
You are definitely Not the only side that has been pumped by city but this was supposed to be a close fight between clubs fighting for the title and it was anything but.
Just shows the difference in class and more importantly depth of squad.
What the pundits are saying now about city being able to play a more physical game with haaland up front is very important I feel because they no longer have to pass a team to death in order to win.
Will be a struggle for anyone to get close to city next year. No shame in falling short this time around but I don’t think you’ll be in a similar position next year.
Bottle FC.
I didn't see your game tonight but i'd like to know what your tactical approach was (if any) to try and win it? The inferior side in quality should always try to play compact and beat City on the counter. I'm pretty sure we'll take that approach and yes we will probably need some luck with that
Like someone else said, it's the history of the Arsenal
They battered us, but they are battering everyone now. To be fair to Abu Dhabi , they’ve got a great return for their oil investment. World class team, world class subs, now even with the option of going long to Haaland. I don’t see anyone getting near them for years. They’ll win the league every season for the next 10. We’ve had a great season but when on form they are miles ahead of anything we or anyone else in Europe can produce.
There are many points to be won and lost before the end of the season, padwan. Remember, hubris is a path to the dark side.
May the force be with you.
Here’s the thing - they literally were playing a game a week and you could tell from todays game that the players were fatigued - both physically and emotionally. Next season will be worse with CL’s football to contend with. Unless Arteta can perform a miracle to lift their spirits up, this was probably their last chance at winning a title.
Indeed. They now have an out ball when you over commit and press them, like what happened with our first goal. They are also very physical and powerful now with their new formation, Akanji, Dias, Stones Rodri, Ake when he plays, Haaland all over 6 feet. Grealish and De Bruyne are both powerful for attacking players as well. It really is difficult to find a weakness now.
I can see it goes very ugly for Arteta and Arsenal from there. It won’t surprise me anyway. We will see if they can maintain consistency next year with the deception and playing every 3 days with the CL, where they can’t afford to play a b team.
The final nail in the coffin was tonight. It’s irrelevant what Arsenal do now in their next game.
They're not very good. Just managed a remarkable half-season. I'd be surprised if he's still manager in a year.
