But that's not the case, eh?
Arteta is the only reason this club is even contending season after season.
Why don't we wait until the end of this season to see how the squad does, and then we can have our whinges or praises.
When you play with your food, sometimes your food bites you back.
19.02.2026 05:02 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeah because instead of keeping control, our lads tried for a second, but sloppily so.
Watch it again ... We got chaotic. That's not what this team is good at. We're good at controlled slow asphyxiation of the prey.
Hincapie might have scored this match but he makes me nervous with his defending.
Point remains that Arteta has shifted away from that defensive security focus that he put in place earlier this season, and now they seem to be going for second goals but they're not scoring them and the chaotic mode of play that ensues doesn't suit us.
Back to basics, please. One nil wins.
A war with Iran is a proxy war with China, who has given Iran some gadgets.
It'd be a test case for some previously untested Chinese weapon systems and equipment, the same way Pakistan's Chinese jets showed what they can do against India's French-made Rafales.
We've lost the early season clean sheet focus. We've lost the aura of defensive security that we had during the first four months of the season.
We now give away the ball cheaply and we get punished.
We scored the goal, and instead of keeping calm and control, we went for a second. The pattern has been very sloppy, chaotic play after we scored that first goal. Watch again. Count how many instances of our players giving up the ball for no reason at all, trying to squeeze in passes.

None of this score one and then lose control of the match bullshit.
Nah this is a bad take. They went up one nil and instead of maintaining composure and exerting control (the way they played early on this season), they try to get a second and pile forward, making loose passes and trying to force the issue.
That's how the transition moments happen and they lose it.
They had to kill Epstein because he was about to spill the beans about who had been backing him all along and who had been using the kompromat he had been gathering.
The people Epstein manipulated didn't have anything to gain from his death.
The people Epstein worked for needed his silence.
It's shocking defending by Arsenal for Bueno's goal.
Why do we play with food like this?
Arsenal players are giving up control and I'm fearing a wolves equalizer/sucker punch.

I'm not even railing against the subjectivity. I probably just find these disciplines not interesting enough.
Refs can influence the contest, but it remains up to the players and managers involved to get the job done.
We complain about the more subjective aspects of football.
Some Olympic sports are entirely subjectively decided. They're sporting performances. Not sport.
I'd pay to see a "hurdles" speed skating race, for instance.
14.02.2026 23:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Now ... If the event is about how many of particular jumps/twirls/actions could the contestants perform in a given measure of time or distance ... Now we're talking.
14.02.2026 23:33 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Such "performances" are subjectively scored. There's no objective measure for them. They're not sports.
I don't doubt the skill, prowess, training, etc. involved in them, but the process of determining who's better at it than others is inherently unfair because it depends on individual judges.
If they need judges to score the performance, it's not a sport.

Trump just dropped the facade and exposed the extent of the rot.
Havertz or Merino would have been a good component here.
Eze isn't forcing his way into the starting lineup based on this performance so far.
Our midfield press is poor. With the ball, they're not connecting to each other. And Eze is positioning himself too far from Gyokeres to create combination moments.
12.02.2026 20:46 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This match would have been ideal for Merino or Havertz in midfield.

12.02.2026 20:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I just heard "genuine test of Arsenal's credentials" dropped again by a pundit.
Sort of sick of that phrase, tbh.
Nah, you don't go to ground, miss the ball entirely and take out your man and get away with it.
Gabriel needs to watch it now.
Our midfield isn't clicking.
Maybe the fact that Epstein and his friends could have done what they had done is a sign that there is no God?
What sort of a god would allow that sort of cruelty, depravity, immorality to exist?
