Got to love Brentford. Small club, but well coached and playing with such amazing confidence. Plus full of Danes:)

Bournemouth must be small as well?

Certainly compared to the big city clubs.

A small club but can buy international players, who must have cost millions to acquire.

Ajer and Damsgaard were their most expensive international players, 15.9 and 15.0 mil worth.... can't see how that can be considered out of small club range compared to local players like Saka, Grealish, Foden or Kane

Brentford has done a great job. I think they're 16th or 17th in expenditure since they got promoted.

Been hoping since the 3rd week of the season. Can't see Top paying him off to go though - and now we're not going to get the same calibre of manager we would have then. Not going to happen though. Relegation battle is on and not sure we have the heart.

Howard Webb is head of officiating in England?
That expleins a lot.

New job. Things are getting worse.

Hojbjerg has me in tears. That's genuinely the most hilarious attempt i've ever seen to con a ref , no soft penalties to win you the game this year Conte!!!

Hojbjerg is the incarnation of bulls***. What a shame of a player.

Arsenal are a damn good team now, but man I am sick of how we set up. It's like we're asking to get overrun.

MaliBrah · Post #711 » by **MaliBrah** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:23 pm

This Arsenal team is just unreal man. We will have multiple team of the year candidates at this rate

MaliBrah · Post #712 » by **MaliBrah** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:32 pm

So does Conte go for it ? or does he make defensive changes. 2-0 down is the spurs script this year , they're masters at coming back aha

Lloris is just a clown at this point

Arsenal hugely lucky not to have conceded. Getting run off the park here in the second half

We're giving you a game this half, but I think you've done what you've needed to.

A lot of huffing and puffing from Spurs and Ramsdale's been equal to it.

For sure, he's made some great saves. And you have to expect a team of professionals to show some pride at home and fight instead of rolling over, so I def. wasn't expecting a repeat of the first half. Just feels like we're hanging on by fingernails a little bit instead of closing out with real confidence.

Sedale Threatt · Post #717 » by **Sedale Threatt** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 6:22 pm

Welp, at the very least that's a mortal lock on the Champions League

Post #718 » by **Baphomet** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 6:26 pm

Not exactly a bold prediction, but I'm fairly sure Arsenal will win the title from here.

They always had the neat and fast midfield interchanges under Arteta, but lacked the end product and defensive solidity to sustain winning momentum. They've found those things now, and with City, Liverpool and Chelsea all dropping a bollock this season, it seems like this is their chance and will likely take it, barring a catastrophic run in the second half of the season.

I actually think United might end up being their biggest threat, which is hilarious when you consider how astonishingly bad their start to the season was.

As for me, I will continue to avoid social media like a plague.

So did it seem more chippy than usual between the players?

Or at the end, what was that, some fans said something?

Richarlison, being relatively new to this rivalry, really seemed peeved.

Sedale Threatt · Post #720 » by **Sedale Threatt** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 6:30 pm

I've been thinking the same thing re: United. They've really, really turned it around. Total props to ten Hag. He pretty much did the same thing with Ronaldo that Arteta did with Aubameyang. Get with the program or GTFO. Obviously it takes a lot more than that, but that sets the tone that true pros will respect and respond to.
