Lol we're getting fucking trashed by argentina it's not even funny.

I would like to say that we are even now, but it could be too much. So..... ggwp

It's a friendly, it's peanuts and noone should take the result seriously. Above all I dislike the world cup final comparisons but we have to have the obligatory stupidity.

if i might add that almost half the world cup squad didn't even play, or was rotated in/out.

also the two goals directly after the half time were stupid and should never have happened like that. we were completely asleep.

Why Real Madrid selled Di maria? lol

Because they were getting a lot of $$$$$ in return which they need to turnover the amount they spent on Rodriguez and they have so many players of Di Maria's position that it wouldn't make a difference if he left.

I liked how Miro, Phil and Per were given a guard of honour before the friendly:

Falcao's champions league fobia continues. I swear he makes his best effort to avoid the competition.

I think he got to play a season in the CL once when he was still playing for us, but still far from the Falcao level we know.

daily reminder that goetze still sucks at football.

I'd just like to make it known that I'm ARSENAL TILL I DIE and we WILL win the pl this season.

We might be off to a shaky start with 2 draws already but I think we have the advantage over man city this weekend, looking forward to the tottenham later this month though. I think we got chelsea after them but then a few easy games to test our squad after that.

I like you.

Lost 0-1 against Albania at home, hahaha, please kick P.Bento out of the national team. Incredible how we've had managers like Queiroz, sacked after getting to the last 16 in a world cup (and eliminated by Spain, who ended up winning the whole thing), but Paulo Bento, after a very pale and disappointing world cup with the worst outcome that would be elimination in the group stages still leads the team to nowhere.

I don't think anyone is blind enough to demand a portuguese NT with the strenght we had 10 years ago, but it's ridiculous how we keep showing up like a bunch of amateurs with the occasional individual moment of inspiration, we can do a lot better than that.

Welbeck scores twice against the Swiss and every Arsenal fan has lost themselves in great admiration for the lad. GET IN SON, C'MON DANNY.

For some reason, we played better without a manager. Won 3:1 against Venezuela and lost 0:1 against Uruguay.

Ramsey twisted his ankle on that shitty Andorran pitch and every Arsenal fan has an obligatory heart attack, apparently it's minor and he should be back by the weekend though.

lost 2-0 to bayern. could've been worse, could've been better. i personally was pretty satisfied with the team.

2-2 against the champions at home not too bad for us. Numerous tactical errors that I've already gone on too many rants to address and the decision making on the pitch was poor. Good match to watch though and thoroughly deserved result for both sides.

Came back from work to see Costa with his hattrick Makes me wonder how Spain was unable to get through the group stage with Costa + Fabregas.

All around, best weekend for Chelsea. Man City and Arsenal drew, and Liverpool lost. This is literally the best result.

Yeah if this continues you lot will gallop ahead of the pack (obligatory horse reference from last season), honestly I'm not too keen on our away game at Stamford Bridge. Champions League returns though this week, some exciting footballing action to look forward to.

Defensive crisis worsens for us before our clash against BVB at the Westfalen. Monreal and Debuchy out, the latter expected to be out for 3 months, Chambers didn't train and is apparently doubtful. It might just come to a point where we have to play our wingers at full back, we're promoting some young lads from the youth set up it seems.

Honestly a club with our resources should not have these issues to contend with, a defence oriented signing was top priority and the manager alongside those responsible failed to deliver. I think our staff will need a serious overhaul if things nosedive to previous standards this season.

Arsenal and BVB meets at CL, and they both show up with an half squad. The story never changes it seems.

And it's a story that been going on for too long. Honestly how much bad luck can a club be cursed with in the space of a decade? I'd wager my right bollock that the powers that be have it in for us.

To take our minds off things we had Samuel L. Jackson down at the Emirates on the weekend to watch the City game. Apparently he was Theo's guest.



Yeah take that other clubs, doesn't matter what you got we still have Samuel motherfuckers!

Welbeck wasn't the reason the overall performance was poor, he had a few opportunities and surely one should've gone in but let's not ignore the mishaps elsewhere on the pitch. There are so many problems that listing them would require too much time, effort and energy. All I can say is Arsene's stubborn philosophies are beginning to get me down. It's only a matter of time before the fans get outrageously impatient with him, honestly if I hadn't seen his face on the touchline I'd have thought it was Massimo fucking Allegri managing us. Poldi losing his shinguard and having to borrow Ozil's before being sent on the pitch summed up our night.

I was hoping for a draw at best before the game began. BVB completely outclassed us, their fans were at their usual best and their lads probably should've scored 3 or more with all the chances they created. The difference between us and them is the depth their squad has, despite key players like Reus, Hummels, Kuba, Gundogan and Sahin being injured they can still play at almost full capacity and chemistry. This squad has always impressed me and if there's one club that I'd like to see go all the way and lift the title, aside from us obviously, it'd have to be them.

I dont want to see France below Russia for UEFA index.

This trend will continue and the reason is the oil tycoon money which has steadily ruined French football. PSG and Monaco have bullied away most of their opposition financially in recent seasons, until only 4 years ago we saw French clubs like OL and Bordeaux going quite far in the Champions League and due to the audacious spending from now richer clubs like PSG who are lapping up the talent from their domestic opposition Ligue 1 as a whole is losing depth. At this point I can only see PSG going a reasonable distance in the competition, I daresay Monaco were lucky to get a win against Leverkusen.

P.E Aubameyang was the best player of Ligue 1, that was 2 years ago, before someone called Zlatan. He is really impressive, and i've heard Imobile was the best striker of serie a, he is impressive too.

Ozil is like a mercenary ? I mean, he is well paid since he is in Arsenal, and i guess he does not care of football anymore imo.
Alexis did a good game overall, BVB's defenders were afraid of him.
Wilshere and Rambo were like Ghosts.

And yes, Monaco = Russian money, and PSG = arab money, that's really sad. To be honest i don't really support them for Ligue 1, but it's another thing for CL.




Talking about BVB, i will never forget that ♥ (yes this is old but you can find players like J.Mathieu or Weidenfeller x) )
FC Sochaux Montbéliard was a good football club o/

Shame how OL still haven't managed to revamp their squad, went from last 16 or last 8 regulars at the CL to not even qualifying. Even if PSG already had today's resources, 2000-2010's Lyon would give them a run for their money. Juninho Pernambucano

Also, some surprise results and good goals tonight.

Ozil is being player out wide, he's completely out of his comfort zone there. We might as well play him in goal, he's a central player not a fast paced winger. Furthermore there's this "he's a 42 million quid man" vibe hanging over his head which is damaging his and our reputation further. If Arsene declined the Fabregas offer and claimed we have the better central player at our club THEN WHY AREN'T WE USING HIM PROPERLY???? Place him in the centre for cunt's sake and surely he'll improve, fans have been shouting this for weeks now.

Alexis wasn't up to his best, he was stagnant and caused little problems for BVB. Aaron was poor but Wilshere was by far our best man on the pitch alongside Kos. They both played they're tits out tonight, if it wasn't for Kos who seems to be doing his job as well as that of Merte we'd have conceded several more goals. His errors, however critical they were, can be excused. Wilshere was the only one with a spark in midfield, looking to be clever every time he received the ball. Everyone else just lost the plot.

I think it's time I take a break from football news, gossip and discussion. Honestly it's causing nothing but stress recently. I don't think anyone envisioned us being in this sort of position when we made our initial signings a few days after the World Cup finished. It all looked so ambitious with Sanchez, Debuchy, Ospina and Chambers coming in. Then a month of literally nothing productive and we buy Welbeck in panic mode and now we're facing a tremendous task ahead due to a lack of squad depth and injuries. If I see Arsene's face anywhere at this point I'm going to lose it, Eric Cantona at Crystal Palace style.

There are mainly promising young players like Bedimo, Lacazette or Grenier.
Grenier is like the future Juninho, impressive young player who deserves more attention.
Same as Monaco or Olympique de Marseille, there are mainly young players.

I remember, 2-3 years ago, Olympique de Marseille had the worst squad of ligue 1, because they didn't have money anymore and they were forced to sell or give (like L.Gonzalez), blame that selfish owner. Now there are really nice players for Ligue 1 like A.Ayew, F.Thauvin, D.Payet, N.Nkoulou, but they are not really well made for CL, just see last year. And also, they have a good coach now

that actually sounds a lot better than playing one of the worst seasons in club history, then signing nothing substantial and continue just like last season, this time aiming for second league head on though!

You'll be alright, just like last season.

Meanwhile at Arsenal:

The week was too long. I can't wait for the up coming match against Man City!

Aston Villa vs Arsenal about to kick off. Ozil playing in his traditional central position, let's see how this goes. C'mon lads.

Scoring three goals in 3 minutes seem standard

They should throw a placard at Arsene reading "I told you so you stubborn twat". Play Ozil in his traditional position and and he shines. I hope the journalists grill him on this in the post match interview, he fucking deserves every bit of it. Still not over it. Other than that nice to see Danny bag his first for us.

lost 0-2 against hoffenheim, out hardcore fans sent out an open letter that the club can go fuck itself after fucking shit up for the third year in a row, next game against dortmund is basically a free loss because lol stuttgart has no chance against dortmund when we can't even play well or even only not completely shitty against shit tier team like hoffenheim.

we honestly don't ddeserve to be in the bundesliga. our core team sucks for multiple years now, but nobody EVEr fucking bothered to really get new players. our entire team is a catastrophy, and the only good thing that will come out of this is that maybe, just maybe, we finally kick bobic out of the manager position and get someone who knows how to spend money well.

i personally am fucking fed up with this shitty football the team plays week after week, only trying their best until the opponent shoots a goal or until the first half is over, and then going "fuck it, not worth it".

United just lost 5-3 against Leicester and Liverpool lost 3-1 against West Ham.

I really wonder when English teams will understand they are literally throwing their money away on overrated players without any kind of project in mind. At least Chelsea and M. City spend a lot of cash on talented players who already showed what they are able to do and Arsenal has a well structured project. Spending 40m on average players like Lallana and Shaw is absolutely ridicolous and makes me want to stop enjoying this game.

Considering how much United have spent, apparently about 150 million quid during the transfer window, they shouldn't be losing to a team that was just promoted and barely spent anything. I remember seeing the score as 1-2 to United before I had a TF2 session, return after a few hours to see that they'd lost 5-3. Bloody hell it must've been that rubbish defence, looking forward to seeing the highlights tomorrow.

Lampard just scored against Chelsea FUCK



EDIT: I had to watch Lampard equalize and see it end with a 1:1 draw. Terrible weekend. I can't even enjoy those United, Spurs, and Liverpool's loses.

EDIT: Everton also lost today. Seems like no one wants Champions League other then Arsenal. Now that I think about it, what a fucking fantastic weekend for Arsenal lol

A draw at the champions isn't a bad result by any means. An excellent weekend for us, Tottnumb managed to balls it up at home against West Brom so I'm looking forward to welcoming them to Ashburton Grove for our derby next weekend.

What I find highly amusing is that Chelsea have a squad worth hundreds of millions with enormous flair and raw talent up front and don't have the balls to take the bus out of the parking lot. If a manager llike Bruce or Fat Sam go to Etihad and pull a draw playing defensively the media will criticise City for not breaking them down but when Jose does the exact same with a man advantage as well the media label it a "Mourinho masterclass". It's time the sycophantic halfwits in the media open their eyes and risk upsetting their beloved Jose.
