1.5 of a goal ?

 

It was in the days of goal average.

 

Kin ell mate, that is going back some

 

We didn’t ☹️

 

Late seventies I think.

 

I know mate I remember that too.

 

you talking about Klopp I take it, as he's the one whining in that piece.

 

Losing at Macclesfield Lincoln and Mansfield was a test of patience

 

No.

 

I understand what Petit meant I think. It’s not just about winning and losing, it’s about passion, commitment and entertainment. You can handle seeing your side lose and hit the skids if the players are giving their all, and are just falling short as they’re not quite good enough, the pressure then goes to the board, to provide resource.

But these days there’s far too often that you see sides losing games and not coming off the pitch having left everything out there, and fans can see it. Sides going through the motions or sticking too rigidly to a ‘philosophy’. When a club is up against it, fans will cheer a full blooded slide challenge as much as a goal.

 

Yeah I get what he meant. The headline is a bit galling, but I agree with him that we're giving nothing to get excited about. We've just become an insipid team that look clueless. We're making the same mistakes as we have been both on and off the pitch for a few years now, and I see nothing that looks like it's going to change in the short term either.

The joys of being a footie fan eh ? One decent win though and us Gooners will start to believe again lol.

 

I think it would be good for Arsenal to get relegated. No seriously!

It would give them chance to clear out the gutters, bring back some passion, find out who the real supporters are when you have to play the likes of Championship sides such as Middlesbrough on a cold November evening.

If things go really well, the money men will do a runner, and you never know, you might be entertaining the delights of Scunthorpe one day.

 

ah, so it's a jealousy thing.

 

It would certainly give this club a kick up the arse.

Would be a disaster financially though.

 

Was Marilyn Monroe

 

that would be the least of your worries tbh

reckon you’d get chased on here

37 games to go…so you should be ok

 

Mate my club has been reduced to 16 bargain bucket players due to injury and lack of finances. The only disaster I see is when the fixture list comes up one Saturday afternoon in a few season time, showing Gillingham v Arsenal, no disaster in that. We might let you win though, so you can be a super six L1 club, just to make you feel at home.

 

No.

 

The recruitment though. You were crying out for a commanding, quick CB, and he spunks £50m on a lad who can play, but doesn’t fit that mould in any way, shape or form. Arteta is Bob Martin MKII.
