I subscribe to the atheltic. Please feel free to provide me any source that says the athletic says he is earning 30k. I will read it, screenshot it, and concede the point.

Literally all I have asked is for a reliable source

You said yourself the rumor was 30k. There is no evidence of the athletic ever reporting that figure. I’m sorry he left but you’ve got nothing to stand on except what you think you remember from a podcast years ago.

Okay so they’ve never actually reported on it, then. I’m sure it was widely suggested he MIGHT be, because that was the big rumor at the time. You heard what you wanted to hear. No actual reporting ever put him that high, and the best estimates and anecdata have him at 15k + bonuses.

Please point me to the athletic reporter who says he is on 30k a week.

Except there were no serious sources that put him on anywhere close to that. The Mail and Yahoo Sports hinted he “may have” “up to doubled” arsenals offer but like, come on.

The best figure we have it that he’s was given the same 15k a week arsenal offered when he turned 17.

He isn’t be paid and enormous salary? That’s just some weird rumor Arsenal fans started to cope with him leaving.

So full of impotent rage

Bud I needed some entertainment during my morning workout. I know bottling the league again is scary, maybe one year you’ll know what it’s like to win.

Look, an easy test is that if you were as good as you say and confident in the team, certainly a lowly random United fan wouldn’t be able to twist you all into a tizzy on a random Tuesday after you just won the north London derby.

You’d certainly pass that with flying colors, right?

Good at everything except playing interesting attacking football.

Look, you’re at the top of the table for
now. Enjoy it while you can!

Look, I’m just trying to verify whether there’s ANYTHING Arsenal are doing this season that’s noteworthy. Can’t even take credit where it’s due, I guess.

Exploring specific gaps *created by pinching the goalkeeper and throwing opposition players to the ground.

Look, you’re top of the table for now. Enjoy it! It’s not my fault your miserable team makes that so hard to do.

So you’re saying Arsenal did not rejuvenate the tactic of farming set pieces and scrumming the box.

Why all the love for your set piece coach then?

That’s fair, at least Delap at Stoke was a novel thing.

Other teams saw the increasing quality and tactical intelligence of the league and got better at attacking. You lot farm set pieces and create a rugby scrum in the box.

So to rephrase the question to make sure I understand it right:

“Could it be the rest of the league’s fault that, when faced with adversity, we decided to become 09 Stoke on steroids?”

I believe we are about 13 years into just needed one or two transfer windows to sort out the midfield

Welcome to being the supporter of any team my dude.

Idk man, I got to celebrate 13 league titles, two champions leagues, and god knows how many FA cups and tinpot trophies as a kid with my dad so I’m good taking some time off winning. At least we have a golden age to look back on while we rebuild ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

25% of your open play goals in the league have come against spurs l m a o

L m f a o did you really just type out a wish dot com ass Joker bit about failing so spectacularly at winning that you spent five years building a new breed of super haram ball in a lab only to find that you disgust the people you wanted to impress?

Look man, if you’re happy with this than I’m happy for you. All I know is if my club abandoned everything that made me love the beautiful game I’d be mad but hey at least you’re five points clear with a game in hand :)

The way referees have judged fouls in the box during corners has absolutely changed over the last few seasons.

Look bud, I know Arsenal haven’t won a meaningful trophy in five years or a title in more than 20, but you can’t be happy with this.

What a fall from the days of Wenger. At least that was something I could respect. This team disgusts me.
