Gooner in Chicago. Here to laugh at Tottenham

Peak Spurs mentality is taking off your shirt to celebrate a stoppage time equalizer at home against the team at the very bottom of the table.

‘It’s Arsenal. They won’t just ignore it’ – Thomas Partey, the allegations and what the club knew
Arsenal have been aware of complaints about Partey, all of which he denies, for more than three years. Questions are now being asked

Rice was spectacular in the last third of the campaign, but Gabriel was player of the season for me - just ahead of David Raya.

1. Gabriel
2. Raya
3. Rice
Declan Rice has been named Arsenal's player of the season.

Rice got 52% of the votes. Saka second, Raya third.

My head is absolutely gone. This season has been draining enough without these incompetent, attention seeking frauds dictacting more results for us.

Every week I'm watching leg breaking challenges, elbows and studs on shins go unpunished - yet that's a red card. Fuck off.

Spurs can win spectacularly and are a lot of fun but they could have had Arne Slot in 2023 and instead have the same pot of relaunched stasis

Give this absolute loser a 10 year contract. Never getting anywhere with him
Will Tottenham's 6-3 defeat by Liverpool lead Ange Postecogolou to rethink his methods?

No.

A dire attacking performance.

We are missing firepower, and we need to address that in the summer, if not before. But until then, this team needs freshening up.

Maybe we try Trossard at CF against low blocks. Or Jesus at LW. I don’t know the answer, but the current setup simply isn’t working.

Good piece from @arseblog.com here about why Delan Rice should be playing more as a 6: arseblog.com/2024/12/i-wo...

Key point: Rice is an underrated passer. As @scott.cannonstats.com has shown, there isn’t much of a gap between him and Partey. And Rice gives us much more defensively.
I would like 6 Rice please
Morning all. I have to say I enjoyed Declan Rice’s performance against Monaco on Wednesday evening. I’ve been quite surprised by the amount of comment I see online (I know, I know) about how he can’t ...

Many deserve blame for the goal. Timber out of position, Kiwior doesn’t cut out the pass, Saliba doesn’t do enough.

But if, say, Kai Havertz scored an identical goal at the other end, we’d be talking about what a great pass and finish it was.

Yet again we are maximally punished for tiny errors.

His name is Nwaneri, not “Nwañeri.” Why do English commentators struggle so much with this?

My feed on Twitter is full of posts celebrating a certain Arsenal midfielder who should be nowhere near our team, if you’re wondering how things are going over there.

No idea why Jorginho hasn’t played more this season. He has his shortcomings, but we played our best football last year when he was in the team. Thought he was very good today—more of him these next few weeks, please.
