Something like “There’s nothing you can do about those wonder strikes. Other than them, the stats will tell you we dominated the game in the first half”

Nah it’s not about risk. Just that I don’t see actual game plans a lot apart from having a low block and the occasional break/set piece. Midfield is totally bypassed by long balls from the back, we run out of ideas super fast and keep swinging crosses in to no avail

Yeah that’s all fair. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very aware of how painfully close we got and the journey there was great. There’s a lot I’d like to say but am limited by the character count and I already think this comment is becoming a bit of a stain on my character already lol

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to imply as little nuance as that. I would love to win stuff with Arteta and it’s obviously possible, but I think Arsenal would be more likely to win stuff with a different and better manager. That might not be Iraola, I just have a personal bias towards him. Could be anyone

Jeez man I just don’t want to argue. I see your point of view, I just disagree. You disagree with mine, but unlike you I don’t keep spouting pointless rhetoric like “believe” and “don’t listen to the media”, and I certainly don’t keep calling you or your opinions stupid. Let people have opinions.

You’re debating it, man?
September 21, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Don’t debate it then. I’ve not heard any mainstream narrative except this thing that we’re too defensively minded which I don’t even think is true. I turn the TV on just before kick off and turn it off straight after
September 21, 2025 at 6:03 PM
Yeah of course. You’re not that successful in vibes alone but just personally not who I would go for right now
September 21, 2025 at 5:57 PM
They are good vibes but after this stuff, I would prefer someone with an actual plan

I get that Arteta was a huge breath of fresh air after the Emery era and he’s done well, but the stigma around criticising him and being likened to that Lee guy is wild. I like him, but I really don’t think Arsenal can win something with him. I’d like to be wrong but I’d take Iraola in a heartbeat

Big boy goalscorer for Stuttgart. Feet of Messi, they say

Get back to our old business of fucking Bayern over and get Woltemade in

Ah ok nice one. Don’t blame you 😂 Will look out for the Norgaard ep when he’s announced on 29th August 👍🏻

Great signing. Are you and Andrew doing a signing pod for him or is there going to be a bit of an omnibus one at the end of the week? Cheers!

The ‘should I open it or should I keep it sealed’ Pokémon card guy is great. ShortPocketMonster I think?
He loses hundreds daily opening old packs but I can’t stop watching
