Arsenal 22/23 - go to new thread

Ladies and Gentleman….Arsenal fan summed up. You guys just never learn.
I wouldn't say he's an Arsenal fan summed up but he definitely only signed up only to wum.

Even I'm tired of reading all the shite on here from Arsenal fans who've signed up in the past year
 
Gary Neville is obscene. Come the end of the season, Arsenal is going to be 20 points clear of United in the League table, and when that happens, it will still flatter United as to the relative strength of the two teams.
United is a 60 point team who is going to luckbox their way into 70 points. Arsenal are a 90 point team. Do the math.

Gotta admit, I find this business about how Arsenal plays home to this fixture where City is away to that other club kinda silly. That sort of thing could end up being important in the title race but even so it's still irrelevant to United. Like starting this weekend. Right now, United is 8 points back of Arsenal on points dropped, and United plays Leicester tomorrow whereas Arsenal play them next weekend. Arsenal for sure will beat them, but United is kinda maybe a little better. United could win, but then you can't be really too upset if they drop points, for just an overall lack of quality in the squad. Whatever it is, the most likely thing is that by this time next weekend United will be further behind Arsenal than they are now.

For what it's worth, I'm a pretty atypical fan. The Arsenal subreddit had this on a few days ago,
reddit.com/r/Gunners/comments/111653f/this_is_so_accurate,
which is more representative of the fan base I figure.
:lol: Wtf is this shite.
 
I was dreading this weekend, thought it would be when city start stretching that lead. At half time against villa it was curtains. The best I could’ve hoped for this weekend is to be level with city with a game in hand.
we’ve been given a massive lifeline . 2 clear and a game in hand after losing to Everton drawing with Brentford and even Losing the head to head with city.
jesus and partey close to coming back so we could go on another winning run while city have CL and United play every 3 days
 
Nketiah hit the bar and then missed an open goal when odegaard played him through. Then odegaard missed an open goal himself, are you sure you watched the game ?
Nketiah hit the bar, so did Bailey.

The other Nketiah chance wasn't an open goal. He just fecked up a straightforward chance. Odegaard open goal I've mentioned - so take away the Martinelli (which was a 1.00) and an least a 0.8 for Odegaard.
I mean you're just ignoring various things but ok.

As I said, xG >>>>>> your memory.
Logic >>>>>> Arsenal fan bias and drivel.

Read this whilst having my breakfast this morning and it didnt make sense then. Said id read it again later to see if i missed something but still aint making any sense. How on earth are Arsenal a 90 point team and united a 60 point team? I wonder about some people who are let out onto the internet unsupervised sometimes.

It's gotta be drugs.

State of this post and yet this guy will be a full member before me. You can quote that.
 
Before me too and I've been here over a decade :lol:
Same here - sometimes I just don’t understand how the opponent fans would become full member so quickly on here. Then I would never know why opponent fans would go to ManUtd site and discuss with each other about their team here.

Imagine living in an Arsenal stronghold and being faced with this level of delusion every day? Neighbours, barbershop etc :lol:

I can't speak for others of course but I come on here to hear (drastically) different opinions. On Arsenal boards we share a common goal, it gets a bit boring sometimes. I like to hear other perspectives every now and again. Growing up I would talk all the time with my brothers (who are both United fans) but their interest in football has waned over the years. I therefore have a weird soft spot or interest in United. I kinda want them to do well, as long as it doesn't affect Arsenal (which is almost never the case). Illogical I know :lol:

No offense toward anyone but coming across many opponent fans here imo most of them are pretty sensible posters. That's probably why they left their fanbases to come here in the first place.

Tbf most of other fanbases/forums are extremely toxic, delusional and full of hatred. And most are like North Korea with the mods at the position of the Kims. You have a different opinion with them and the rest jump on you and the mods shut you off for good just because they could. At least here imo we're not very delusional and the mods can accept some different opinions.
 
Their record against City makes the merseyside derby look like a competitive fixture. 0W 0D 10L in their last 10 league games against them, absolutely brutal.

The record looks marginally better with cup runs included, even then you have to go back almost 3 years for any kind of a result.

Their posts are more valuable it seems, generates debate in the football threads, we need to up our game :lol:
 
You really have to love Arsenal Fans, as a united fan through and through and even as delusional as most of your fan base are, I happen to think you will win the PL this year, providing you don’t choke.

Can’t see you getting 90 points though, think you will slip up in 5 or 6 games, Liverpool, Newcastle and City Away for sure and probably Draw with Chelsea at home plus with teams fighting for their lives in relegation battle, at the top three will drop some unexpected points to these teams. Let’s say you win 10 Draw 2 lose 3 you end up 86 points, I can see City dropping points too they will probably end up with 10 wins 2 draw 2 defeats, you can get at them much easier this year and pep team might finish on 84 points, where he regrets letting Jesus, zinchenko and Stirling go!
United under ETH are not a 60 point a season team, they were until he took over, we are probably a squad in transition that still needs 4-5 players to compete for the title but City are not a 95 point plus team this season either which has given Arsenal their chance, one they will not get again for a long time so they need to take it. We have some really tough games too and I think Liverpool will take the 4th place and have an effect on the title race as they play all three teams. So for United, I’m being a realist and see our last 14 games ending with ; Win 9 Draw 3 Lose 2 to come third with 79 points but only 7 behind the winners. United problem is they might end up with a long run in the Europa where if they beat Barcelona they will turn over Arsenal later in that competition and this will effect both teams bit united more as we are also in the Fa Cup too. Make no mistake though if Arsenal start choking both Manchester clubs will hunt them down!

Every single metric goes against your point, but yes.. it is the Arsenal fan who is spouting drivel. Ok.

You can't just take away two of our chances for the sake of your argument, what is that rubbish. Even then we win clearly though.

So we've gone from talking about xG...where you realised that the Martinelli chance at the end of the game when Martinez is on the other end of the pitch (1.00), and Odegaard missing an open goal (0.8 at least) have blown a big hole in your argument to moving the goalposts to talk about expected threat.

Yes, it's the Arsenal fan spouting drivel.

I literally mentioned xG in my post at the end. You ok? I also have mentioned the Martinelli chance a few times. And again, if you do some maths, take away those two chances, we're still at 0.5 vs 2.

I gave another example of how every metric shows we were on top because obviously xG isn't something you seem to agree with.

No, you are spouting drivel.
 
Seems a bit odd seeing Arsenal potentially 5 points above City but betting odds reflecting City are favorites to win the title. A facht too much?

Come in here to say the poster saying Arsenal are a 90 point team and a Utd are a 60 point team has to be trolling but I see a Utd fan is trolling as well, the Arsenal win looks lucky because the goal was last minute but to claim we didn't deserve it is crazy. Not sure even villa fans will think that. Guess we are rival fans though so understand why our team might not get credit.

Leicester away next, if they play how they did in the first 30 minutes yesterday it will be difficult but once utd grew into it Leicester couldn't get near them, if we turn up from the start how we played 2nd half against Villa then we should get the 3 points. Definitely not an easy game though.

Can you count? If the Martinelli was a 1.00 and Odegaard was a 0.8 - you're at 1.47. Also, yet again, talking about expected threat despite us talking about xG is moving the goalposts.

In any case, putting the stats to one side - your winner came from hitting the back of the keeper's head off the crossbar and the ball trickling in. Literally the most flukiest of flukes. And you're in here crowing about Arsenal deserved to win after being in hiding the last three weeks.

Absolutely pathetic.

You can't seem to read, so we will leave it there.

There was definitely an element of luck, but it was some hit by Jorginho. Not sure how anyone can deny that. Martinez was saved then cursed by his crossbar in a matter of microseconds. You make it sound like it was a blunder by Martinez, which I think doesn't give Jorginho enough credit. There was nothing he could do there.

Your last sentence is why this win felt so good and significant for us. Our form has undoubtedly dropped since going out of FA Cup (though we were robbed vs Brentford) and this game looked to be going the same way. But to come back from behind TWICE and win, esp in a game where we were missing Partey, is something I didn't think we had in us. This had the 'final nail in Arsenal's implosion' written all over it. At 2-1 I was chomping at the bit for a draw. Yes, luck was involved but we largely dominated the 2nd half and deserved to win in the end. The two best chances Villa had at 2-2 from Bailey were nullified by us (Ramsdale's save and Gabriel's block when he was 1v1). Villa were also lucky that Odegaard missed a sitter (after Konsa fell asleep and was robbed by Nketiah), which would have probably killed the game off much earlier.

Not that outlandish honestly. We still have to play them + Liverpool/Newcastle all away while they play those games at home.
April 26: City away
April 29: Chelsea at home
May 6: Atletico Tyneside away
That week will probably decide the title if we or City have not crumbled before with CL/EL games coming back in play.

Why stop there? Let's take away all of Arsenal's shots. Then our xG would be zero.

I can give one answer to that for me. I discuss Chelsea for the most part at Chelsea forums, especially game threads. This place has a nice mixture of fans from different leagues, it gives a good all around perspective of the sport. Regardless of what forum you are using, you have to just keep scrolling with some opinions.
 
Gary Neville is obscene. Come the end of the season, Arsenal is going to be 20 points clear of United in the League table, and when that happens, it will still flatter United as to the relative strength of the two teams.
...

United is a 60 point team who is going to luckbox their way into 70 points. Arsenal are a 90 point team. Do the math.
:lol: what a truly delusional and bitter post. Why is the aggregate score between the two clubs 5-4 to United then, with points split? We didn't even have our best midfielder in either game.

We could have scored 10 goals in the first game as well... Ok they could have got 5 but that's not the point
