I’d pay to watch that tbf

Sometimes better to apply common sense

How can you give a red for denying a goal scoring opportunity if said opportunity ended up in a goal?!

If their plan is to defend deep and look for transitions then us not being adventurous sounds pretty sane

We had a very uninspiring attack in 23/24 as well, and even in the palace game which we won 5-0 and it kicked off this run, the first two goals were corners. I remember seeing he discussions of “oh yay finally open play goals but did we only score them because we were 2 up due to set pieces

But they lost to Chelsea and United as well?

23-24 comparison is very handy

He could’ve played it off like he tripped but he doubled down and showed the “elbow to head” to the ref lol

Villa as best attack needs a huge asterisk lol

50 pts and small green to 40k 🤝

I don’t think many Arsenal fans will be pre-booking travel to get from North London to West London

We hadn’t played city in the first half of the season because queen died. They were in a rough patch then too so we either could’ve won, or if we lost the actual gap would’ve been smaller

It’s definitely point won for me. We weren’t good, and Caicedo’s red meant we didn’t lose rather than it becoming a must win (though I really thought we’d come out flowing in the second half and batter them)

The answer is “never” if you’re looking at Arsenal

Also dropping points in all 3 when 2 of the 3 are literally direct title rivals, not just “top 7”

As demonstrated by Saliba against brighton last year

Tbf Taylor gave a pen in both cases just didn’t have the balls to stand up to VAR today

Yea yea great design etc but finally the “postmatch” has been dropped.

Although you could argue every podcast is postmatch, because it is, in fact, after an Arsenal match even if there’s been 3 pods in between and you’d be technically correct. The best kind of correct.

“Lessened” so just the relegation to the National League instead of disbanding the club then?

Who was that guy on stream who captained him godayum

Our defence is elite, got it

Not to be celebration police but is a shirt off running to your fans warranted in a last minute equaliser against a team with 0 points in the league?

Questions were asked of Liverpool’s defending, you could say it’s in trouble, Nketiah’s in the room 📞📞

I think I’ve had enough of Bruno now lol

Arguably 3/4 hardest games we’ll play all season (city away being the 4th). I don’t think he’s the guy for this game and Kai would probably start these games had he been fit.

Kai starting and Gyokores on at 70th/80th minute is much more of a threat, akin to Martinelli’s impact

I don’t think you need big picture stuff after 5 games

Kudos for using the best podcast app out there

Problem is that they don’t drop points while still figuring things out and once they do they are gonna get better. Mad that in another universe they get 4 draws and sit 11th

How much do a few hours matter, like really is there much of a difference between 12:30 and 15:00 after intl break.

Thought he played at left back, not number 8

Spurs and Chelsea have PSG and Barca that week so pretty even. The usual would’ve been to have Almaty away while before playing City who would’ve been playing Slavia at home
