Arsenal fan for more years than I care to divulge. Recently taken up residence in rural Viet Nam which I would recommend to those with an adventurous spirit.

If we win it's acceptable but losing makes it a double misery...thankfully there haven't been too many losses this season.

It's tough. Especially getting up at 3am to watch a game, although tomorrow's game is on at 12.45am so I'll probably stay up for that.

You are correct. Living in viet nam the times get a bit confusing sometimes

We have to get past Leverkusen before I start thinking of April's fixtures

Think you'll find we play Leverkusen where you have Sporting.

Let them take the "glory" just like Chelsea when they beat us 1-1. With that mentality they will always be a mid table team. They have some good players but a weak minded manager who will not be saught by other clubs when he gets the push from Brighton.

Maybe a slight exaggeration on my behalf but they are certainly not criticized. What are you talking about with the "as bad as this Arsenal side"??

Citeh, the masters of the dark arts, have been using them since Pep took over and everyone praises them for it. Arsenal use them and we suddenly need to tweak the the laws, like we need to tweak the laws around corners because Arsenal have become good at them.

Go for it. I'm not sure you can do about it though. There are no rules in the game saying teams have to entertain anybody.

06.03.2026 13:10 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The Arsenal are not in the business of entertaining opposition fans, their aim is to accumulate points. If Arsenal are not entertaining you go watch billy collonny or whoever can entertain you.

?? As I said, Hurzeler's comments were the only cringeworthy thing that happened before, during and after the game. What manager says before the game we are going to play dirty?? He will not see many more seasons in the prem I guarantee.

You were the one who said you'd rather watch rugby,, or was that just for effect. If your comment was your true thoughts then I responded properly, if they were not don't state them.

06.03.2026 08:17 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Why do you need to tell everyone about it. Just go watch rugby, they need the support.

The only cringeworthy thing around the Brighton v arsenal game was the Brighton manager.

It was a self-righteous comment concerning the team I support, so yea, it was personal. Guys like you always think you have the answers and feel the need to let others know. Again, shove your sanctimony up your arse.

Bring on the asterisks...the more the better as long as we are winning.

As an Arsenal fan I know we are doing something right when everyone has a complaint against us. If we were sitting in 6th place the opposition fans and (some) managers would be silent. ...and you can shove your sanctimony up where the sun doesn't shine, the same place you do your talking.

I guess we all see things from our own perspective.i have actually been following Arsenal longer than yourself and like you have seen a lot of good and poor managers and players. Arteta isn't the worse manager we have had and by some distance. There have been better opportunities to stop following.

I don't care how many asterisks are by our name if we win it...and neither would you if your team got up either. You sound like a bitter UTD fan to me even if you don't mention it in your bio.

Are you saying you stopped being a fan because of Arteta?

If we only got points we deserve the whole table could look different.

Not everyone can take points away from Molineux.

I guess one way to stop it is ban corners and parking the bus.

I have to disagree....a bit. We have been playing this way most of the season, it's just that earlier our defense was more secure. I don't think there has been a game this season where we have put halves of football together in the prem. Good first half, poor second half and vice versa.

02.03.2026 09:26 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

As I said previously we haven't had a full 90 minute game this season. If we play poor first half we have a good second half and vice versa. We are accumulating points which is what I care about anyway.

02.03.2026 08:11 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We tried hard to drop points again.
