Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

Shortest conversation ever :lol:
3 clubs could realistically afford him and Arsenal are nowhere near that list

My Arsenal mates tried to convince me Mbappe wouldn’t get in ahead of Martinelli last summer :lol:
 
Was out thought tonight. We looked to lack a bit of intensity. Gotta make up for it at the Emirates.
 
If Arsenal where to go out of champions league I believe it might be blessing in disguise in running for league.

I believe their squad is not strong enough for both competitions and could see that tonight.
 
Their fans actually had #prayforPorto trending on X as they believed they were gonna steamroll them in this match.

Sheer arrogance by some fans thinking we'd go there and blow Porto away. You'd think by now they'd realise European football is very different to domestic football, and we've not exactly got the pedigree to back it up either.

Probably a nice soberer for those fans.
 
Do we need them to at least do a little bit better in the CL to help us get CL by finishing 5th?

Maybe but England will still have the favorites in all three comps (115 charges, dippers and Villa) plus dark horses like Brighton and Hammers. So should have enough firepower for top 2 regardless.

Ideally they win the return leg on the night but lose on pens. That counts as a win on the coefficients.
 
By the sounds of it, they were on the end of some Sevilla-esque shithousery.

Was a frustrating night but no real excuses. They were well organised, played with good intensity, stopped us from creating anything of note and were a threat a good couple of times when they broke. They seemed to go down a bit easily when we tried to match them physically, but i've no real complaints.

I expect similar vs Newcastle at the weekend actually, it felt like that type of game, i'm sure you guys know what i mean when i say that.

From what I’ve seen they were extremely good at nullifying you from set pieces which you’ve had a lot of joy from this season, their manager seems fantastic when he’s the underdog.

Yeah, we had 1 or 2 headers which i think Saliba and Havertz should have done better with, but they defended them really well in general. Lots of marking tight, some holding, bodies tumbling at nearly every set piece, but that's not a criticism, they coped well physically.

I didn't know much about them at all but did hear beforehand they had one of the better defensive records. We let ourselves down with the goal conceded right at the end though, that was so avoidable.
 
Apparently the translation is; "During the game, Arteta turned to our bench in Spanish and insulted my family, and at the end I told him that whom he insulted is no longer with us. He should worry about training his team, which has plenty of quality to play more."



Someone just deck this cnut.
 
I like the current Arsenal team but this guy is so annoying. What's he whining about the disallowed goal for? It was a foul.

That Conceiao is hardly a shrinking violet, guy is making Simeone seem calm and pleasant. He and his players have been having digs at Arsenal since the first leg. He was never taking any defeat lightly that’s for sure.
 
So Arteta is a cnut. What does anyone expect? Vieira was a lil bitch who was scared of Keane, Fabregas was a diving, pizza throwing twat, Wenger was a moaning twat who is finding new ways to ruin football at FIFA. Keown was a neanderthal looking dumbfeck who thought he was tough but couldn't do feck all on the pitch, like the footballing equivalent of a BNP politician. Henry gets a pass because he's class, but he was an exception to the rule. And even then, I'm sure the Irish supporters have something to say about him.

Arsenal. The clue is in the name.

Not everyone can aspire to be like the United captain. What an inspiration.
 
Arsenal and their fans are enough to make you want City to win the title. Despicable bunch all of them.

I don't mind United fans cheer for city to win the league and CL at all. That's the spirit. At least the trophies stay in Manchester.
 


It's weird how every manager seems to be insulting him after a defeat. :wenger:
 
This guy said the same thing about Pep....and there was another one too...maybe a Chelsea manager of some sort?

Was just thinking back on this, thanks for posting that. I seem to remember this guy doing the same thing. And there was more than just Pep...pretty sure.

Pep, Tuchel, Arteta. PL managers are mean... He also spat on an opponent, insulted a referee as a player and got a 1 month ban not so long ago for refusing to leave the field after getting shown a red card. Conceicao managing Arsenal would make Redcafe's servers explode.
 
I said something similar to this on here in 2007 and (rightly) got flamed

Bumping so this gets the ire it deserves
Never knew you supported them that long ago, I thought it was more of a Pep thing for you. Fair play
