Re: ArsenaLOL

But still have 46 goals, 2nd behind city on 49 who`s highest scorer has 20. They have a lot of goals but watching goals from corners is not that alluring to make you want to watch them. Efficient and with a deep squad I think they are near certs to win the league this season especially as they usua...

Re: ArsenaLOL

They can only be judged at the end of the season, but in probably 50% of the games, as Orion suggests, they are just dull. If it works and they come away with a good haul (incl the PL) then fair play, but it feels they have the hand break on so often and it’s not great to watch, which, with the tale...

Re: The generic transfer thread

Palace now have both Mateta and Strand Larsen.

Obviously I could be proved very wrong (maybe I’ve just seen the wrong games) but crikey, £48m for THAT?

:shock:

Re: Weekend Football

Sutekh
And are Liverpool fixed? Ripped Newcastle a new one yesterday, have they actually turned up for the season now?


Could be.

Wirtz is getting better every game - it took a while but he is terrific to watch.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (h)

Looking to run the clock down by, amongst other things, taking the ball to the corner with 13+ mins left rather than trying to score again did not please me.

Re: ArsenaLOL

No idea whether stats back me up but if Arsenal don’t score from set plays or something created by the wingers getting to the byline they don’t seem to score. Yes it is difficult to stop but it’s all too predictable. All the recent talk has been about Man Utd getting Tuchel, Ancelotti, Alonso next ...

Re: Afcon 2025

Royal Rother WTF was all that with the towels?


I don't understand why more isn't being made of this.

Ball boys (or were they subs?) literally dragging the reserve keeper along the ground trying to take the towel away and then chasing him round the perimeter of the pitch.

Nuts.

Re: Weekend Football

Yes to all that. I keep saying I don’t think Arteta has what it takes to win the PL, and their display yesterday did nothing to dispel that thought but if City are going to be that bad then maybe Arsenal will, almost by default. Guehi could make the difference I suppose. Or maybe Havertz can make th...

Re: Weekend Football

Arsenal are too predictable. It struck me last night that every move they make in every game they play is the same as they did the week before, and the week before, and the week before. They are very good at those moves of course but there is nothing new to surprise their opponents. Last season Nwan...

Excellent 2nd half - yep, I think Chelsea are going to be fun to watch under Rosenior.

Re: Weekend Football

Seems clear that Rosenior’s style is to move the ball quickly at all times.

Looks like they will be fined if anyone is in possession for more than 2 seconds!

Pretty entertaining to watch, but they need to work on the playing out from the back stuff as they look highly dodgy doing that.

He's pretty good but is getting a bit ubiquitous and the catchphrases / mannerisms are wearing a bit thin now, for me.

Good on McManaman for calling out the disrespect / arrogance.

Re: ArsenaLOL

Only city have scored more goals. So? They're still boring to watch set piece merchants. 58 goals in all comps, 41 from open play, if you say so. My PL soft-spot club is Arsenal but I find them pretty tedious for large parts of almost every game they play. Capable of great stuff but so bloody cauti...
