For Saka and Havertz probably (and others!) but the Ødegaard injuries have all been knocks/impact injuries this season, no? and that all is bad luck 😣

The changes Mikel Arteta is making – and why all is not lost for Arsenal The positives of the performance against Man City and the change in rhythm of the run-in mean the Gunners can still win a Premier League title race with plenty of twists and turns to come

The worst has now happened for Arsenal, but not in the worst way

Arteta has given players two days off

Saka hoped to be back within the week

“I’m not making any excuses, but it’s 2024 since Odegaard, Saka and Havertz started at the same time, which is kinda crazy when you think about how effective they were in that title chase.”

🤯I kind of knew & was saying things along those lines but that’s worse than I thought!

😥

You too

Oh I know it 100% happened. And I know how they usually operate… what the UK government should have to do with an independent league and its process is debatable. But influence can be key. That’s how the world works…

I don’t know what was discussed in there though, but I had ideas 🙃

That’s why I said it’s a stretch. I know.
But the PL has rules the clubs singed up to and they still need to be respected. So let’s see.

Everyone would welcome an end to this.But delaying is 100% a tactic that has been used. Also in UEFA case.And again, that’s not usually what innocent parties do. Regardless of leaks and what we have seen, the financial accounts don’t add up.That was always enough for me.Over a decade before charges

I just find the fact you come to reply to Arsenal fans you likely don’t follow to “defend” the club odd. That’s all.
And I’m sure deep down you know not everything was above board. But a lot of the world works like this. This is “just” football. I just want fair competition. I know it’s a stretch

You can enjoy football. 100%. A lot of it has been amazing I’m sure. It’s not about you. It’s what I heard on Sunday. I always separated the fans from the issue but I can’t anymore. Singing about lawyers, cheating and we don’t care etc etc.was just so odd.
You personally haven’t done anything wrong

I’m just joking here. I don’t have any tangible proof. The fact it’s been over 3 years and we haven’t heard a noise could be linked but that would be a reach and I think it’s more to do with world class lawyers. But having worked with companies with same owners, I can tell you it’s not impossible

I agree it’s weird but it’s been thrown in my face by city fans so many times. I know what is wrong and what isn’t. That’s the point

More of that. Also more premium seats then can sell at a package for a lot more than our regular prices. It’s shit but sad reality. That said Arteta has to delivery trophies yes.

Also, I know the club would be happy with less season tickets 😑. Or a at least the owners. More tickets for one-day visitors as they generate a lot more in revenue for stores and concessions. I spend fuck all on match day, a fan who never comes or one from abroad can spend 100s. Sad but they’d want

My point was that it was a non issue. Not that no one would renew. Every year a few won’t renew. But numbers are so small, even a seat change is still not possible. I don’t think my kids will get a season ticket in their lifetime. 90,000+ on waiting list. Even if they keep increasing the prices.

So yeah it’s not rational as you said.

Fuck’em all. Let’s win it.

It’s nowhere near a possibility. How many times did we finish second in the 17 seasons before 2023?

ONCE

There are 92 pro football teams in England, if finishing second best makes people not renew, again, good riddance.

Not saying there wouldn’t be discontent,but nowhere near late Wenger years

The meeting with Boris Johnson in that very random moment? You can’t be serious?
Of course it’s just a coincidence! They decided to keep buying British defence exports so yeah… meeting must have gone ok for the UAE 🙃. Nooooo, of course there were no threats to stop buying. How dare you think that!?

Please fix the goal difference too 🙃

Get the urge to defend defend defend the financial dealings.The football part? Yes. The brilliant organisation built around it? Yes. But why defend the owners and the dodgy deals?I just don’t get it. Eg I don’t defend Arsenal’s management of the #5 situation until last summer.Even if I love the club

I don’t want titles taken away, the players didn’t dope, they should keep their medals. But the club should be punished seriously. With no integrity, there’s no point in completion. City fan on train yesterday was telling me “of course we cheated, but I don’t care”. That’s one thing,but I just don’t

Unfounded. 😂 Fans don’t choose their owners. And while i don’t want this to happen at my club, I’d struggle to walk away. I’m addicted. For me, all the success is no better than Lance Armstrong’s Tour de France wins. With a key difference. The players aren’t responsible. Nor are the coaching staff

away with it. That’s how the world works. And you can believe whatever you want. But when public “sponsorship deals” with companies owned by the same company are “closed” at 10x market value, if you see nothing wrong with that, well… it’s like thinking there can be 130 charges but ALL of them are

I have read the full CAS outcome. And it is very awkward for Man City…. Concealed evidence among others. Innocent organisations or people don’t have to conceal anything. Some of the leaked emails are not just a smoking gun but a video of the crime in 4k 😂. With £350k a week lawyers, City might get

You forgot a digit 🙃

Season ticket renewals?Come on, chill. We have over 100,000 on waiting list. If people want to stop renewing should we finish second and in the last 4 in Europe at the very least, good riddance imo!!

I think changes will be needed (even if we win!) but it’s so competitive & not fair playing ground

He’s wrong, max we can get is 85. Relax 🙃

And with a certain 20 year old in goal for a few months ❤️

James, no one can get to 86 points. So I hope this is enough to basically make you all wrong and Arsenal will win the league 😂

If city win the league with 85 points, how the fuck can that be a one-horse race? In this very competitive league?

If they won it with 78 maybe but come on.

If Arsenal do finish second, I’m sure I’ll read for years as to how we lost a 9 point lead that in reality was never higher than 6. 2 games!
