Other PL Games (13-16 Jan)

The club look as though they want to start new adventures by entering the Europa Conference.

I've always said we were a forward thinking club. The first team to win all 3 European cups? Yes please

That's one heck of a good pivot and just the kind of blind optimism this club needs.

To even call that thing a European cup is taking audacity to a whole new level.

Audacity is our identity

In fact, someone should write a book about it.

Just because someone should write a book about it don't mean no one will want to read it.

Mediocrity?

2005 Squad?

I did visit that thought before posting, but no.
Tactically we are not showing what is needed with such an inferior team.

This feels like it's really belittling how good that leicester team was ... granted, a good man city or even arsenal that year win, but they were a really good team, with a top spine ... arsenal are also a really good team, likely with more staying power due to the name/city and squad youth as you saks, but both did do / are doing well in the league as much due to the lower levels of their primary rivals as due to their play ...

Didn't mean to "belittle" that Leicester team but just thought it will be "belittling" this Arsenal team instead, if we were to compare them to Leicester because despite the similarity of other big teams flattering, Arsenal are actually doing really well - i.e. they would be where they are in the table with their current pts.

In terms of them winning the title whereas the other top sides are shit*, yeah. But quality and "deserving" wise, I think it's different.

I do think they have been working well towards building a good side - both in terms of bringing through players and weeding out the rotten ones. Getting rewarded for the patience and faith they showed Arteta too.

VisualGame cant read (or count) his own table .. that's the FIFTH most points!

There's 2 52 pts - i.e. joint most no. of points after 18 games. 52, 49, 48, 47 (Arsenal's current) - so "4th most points" isn't wrong.

Thats not how it works, at least its a sneaky twist. If two people come joint first in a race the next one in is 3rd, not "the second fastest", which would be a disingenious description.

My understanding of the wording is it focuses on 47 points being the 4th most points after 18 league games, rather than Arsenal being the 4th best team with points won after 18 games

 

[tombrown]

When I was at school there were 32 in our class. One day we had a maths test, and the other 31 pupils all got 95% exactly. I got 25%.

I went home & told my old man I got the second highest score in the maths test ... he still kicked the shit out of me

 

[King Binny]

Besides Carrick, Kompany looks like another manager to watch

 

[King Binny]

Ramsdale, Pope or Pickford as England's No. 1?

 

[The Nomad]

Ramsdale, Pope or Pickford as England's No. 1?

Pope didn't do himself any favours for his last England cap.

My order would be Ramsdale, Pope then Pickford on club form

 

[Hansern]

Spurs replacing Lloris with Pickford is hilarious.

That’s a “Keegan” definately

It makes me giggle.

Tbf not sure if that's a upgrade or downgrade given Lloris performances for the last year or so.

Either way, classic Spurs.

And proving so.

Absolutely useless club. Happy finishing bottom half literally every season for the past 50 years.

 

[moron]

Yes i enjoyed that and no casimero for them against Arsenal

 

[binomial]

That was a special free kick by Olise and but not for a typical Wan Bissaka sliding tackle, Zaha was in 1 on 1 to win the game.

Yes, YES. Feel the power of the jinx side flowing through you!

 

[binomial]

Not absolutely useless but still useless and will still finish bottom half.

Thanks Palace!
