Literally just in the thread. 22 hours ago, Mr_Danger said: What’s up with Arsenal’s terrible discipline this season? I know they were all celebrating the heroic point they got against City but the real statement would have been winning there not clinging on. Has there been a rule change that’s gone against their physical style or something? Just a fancy Fat Sam with Lego hair is Arteta. 1 hour ago, Mowgli said: The disrespect everywhere for Liverpool is wild. I think Liverpool look pretty decent. But presumably they're not being discussed heavily yet because they have a new manager and it's only October. City and Arsenal have had 2 seasons of some sort of "title race", such as it is, so theres a lazy conversation for "journalists". If Liverpool are still there in January (pending injuries etc I imagine they will) it'll be very much the discussion and rightfully so. 35 minutes ago, Devon Malcolm said: No. City presumably? Quote

That's not to say Arsenal aren't very good but come on. Oh I'm 100% not disputing that at all! You'd have to be delusional not to look at City's first XI and think it's the best in the league by a way. I do think we run them close in a couple of positions (I think Saka walks into that team, and maybe a couple of others) but City are definitely a stronger team man for man. Quote

Not sure what the quoted post has to do with Liverpool fans not caring if we are considered title contenders. Quote

Flying under the radar is where it's at. The "Are they title contenders?" thing is for TalkSport and Sky Sport's YouTube channel clicks. 10 minutes ago, The Gaffer said: Not sure what the quoted post has to do with Liverpool fans not caring if we are considered title contenders.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 What’s happened there this season @Frankie Crisp? Glasner looked like he was doing a decent job when he came in last season Quote

Glasner looked like he was doing a decent job when he came in last season Too much change and not enough stability. Obviously losing Olise, Andersen and mighty Jordan Ayew was something we could have done without, but the players we’ve brought in haven’t clicked, the existing players can’t stay fit at the same time and it just seems like a mish-mash of ‘we’ll try our best’ with players not in their natural position. Eze hasn’t got going, Wharton is one challenge away from being on the shelf for a long stint, Mateta’s drug dealer must have gone into hiding and Will Hughes just isn’t good enough. I’m not panicking just yet, but assuming we get nothing from Spurs at the weekend then we really have to get a win at Wolves the week after. I’ll be at both games so can guarantee we’ll get sod all. I’m inclined to blame Joel Ward. Edited October 22, 2024 by Frankie Crisp Quote
