Bud I needed some entertainment during my morning workout. I know bottling the league again is scary, maybe one year you’ll know what it’s like to win.

Look, an easy test is that if you were as good as you say and confident in the team, certainly a lowly random United fan wouldn’t be able to twist you all into a tizzy on a random Tuesday after you just won the north London derby.

You’d certainly pass that with flying colors, right?

Good at everything except playing interesting attacking football.

Look, you’re at the top of the table for
now. Enjoy it while you can!

Look, I’m just trying to verify whether there’s ANYTHING Arsenal are doing this season that’s noteworthy. Can’t even take credit where it’s due, I guess.

Exploring specific gaps *created by pinching the goalkeeper and throwing opposition players to the ground.

Look, you’re top of the table for now. Enjoy it! It’s not my fault your miserable team makes that so hard to do.

So you’re saying Arsenal did not rejuvenate the tactic of farming set pieces and scrumming the box.

Why all the love for your set piece coach then?

That’s fair, at least Delap at Stoke was a novel thing.

Other teams saw the increasing quality and tactical intelligence of the league and got better at attacking. You lot farm set pieces and create a rugby scrum in the box.

So to rephrase the question to make sure I understand it right:

“Could it be the rest of the league’s fault that, when faced with adversity, we decided to become 09 Stoke on steroids?”

I believe we are about 13 years into just needed one or two transfer windows to sort out the midfield

Welcome to being the supporter of any team my dude.

Idk man, I got to celebrate 13 league titles, two champions leagues, and god knows how many FA cups and tinpot trophies as a kid with my dad so I’m good taking some time off winning. At least we have a golden age to look back on while we rebuild ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

25% of your open play goals in the league have come against spurs l m a o

L m f a o did you really just type out a wish dot com ass Joker bit about failing so spectacularly at winning that you spent five years building a new breed of super haram ball in a lab only to find that you disgust the people you wanted to impress?

Look man, if you’re happy with this than I’m happy for you. All I know is if my club abandoned everything that made me love the beautiful game I’d be mad but hey at least you’re five points clear with a game in hand :)

The way referees have judged fouls in the box during corners has absolutely changed over the last few seasons.

Look bud, I know Arsenal haven’t won a meaningful trophy in five years or a title in more than 20, but you can’t be happy with this.

What a fall from the days of Wenger. At least that was something I could respect. This team disgusts me.

So you had to dig through an opposing fan’s profile for something to use as a gotcha because you can’t argue the substance of the point? Rattled.

Sorry, I forgot to credit Arteta’s muse Tony Pulis.

You know the ways refs calling fouls in the box during set plays has changed. Pinning the goalkeeper between two players was a foul two years ago. Arsenal figured out it wasn’t, and have built a title challenge on farming corners.

I’m really not sure what this is supposed to prove. You occasionally use more than 1 (one) tactic from set pieces?

They’re just rattled and are adopting a siege mentality because the rest of the league (rightly) wants them to lose.

lol, lmao

Arsenal brought this to the league.

You’ve played a game more than other clubs. Before this weekend you were fourth in open play goals scored. Open play goals account for 58% of your goals, putting you 16th in the league. 25% of your open play goals have come against spurs.

Grim.

What is it that they what beyond this?

This book is SO good. It's the resource I never knew I needed and one of the first technical manuals I've genuinely enjoyed reading cover to cover.
