Arsenal (H) Premier League - 28/9/20 - 20:00

[TheDrowningMan]

Arteta didn’t even mention the “elbow” a lot of people saw from Mane’s slightly reckless but ultimately yellow-worthy arm.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I like this boy. 

[TheDrowningMan]

Jota not buying into Sky’s absurd attempt to bestow significance on being ahead of Everton after three games.

[Anubis]

Good interview from Jota. Wouldn’t get drawn into the going above Everton shite. Just said it’s only three games in.

Carragher's clueless

Him and Neville should take over United. Joint managers.

[Raymond Duck]

Big Joe MOM, Klopp tearing Keane a new one plus a cheeky 20 quid for Jota 4th goal.

 

I’ll take that.

 

Mane is the best player in the world.

The pressing was monumental. Arsenal aren't amazing, but it's no mean feat to suffocate them like we did.

There was a few close moments when they could have got in. Not sure it was sloppy as much as us going all out to get the third goal though. We have the two best attacking full backs in the world so we might get caught the odd time and it's a risk worth taking given their output. 

Talking about a risk worth taking, I noticed for their goal that Gini was tracking Lacazette, but then dropped off and left him for Virg and Robbo to deal with.  At the time I was shouting at him for it, but it's probably deliberate, isn't it; getting himself into space, so the defenders have an easy pass on once they deal with the attacker.  It didn't pay off this time, but 99% of the time it will.

Pretty much how I saw it Ronnie lad. It doesnt help when a player's offside now the linos are told to keep their flag down until the move is 'complete'! Yet more bollocks. You could kind of understand if it was a close call for VAR to then check but a couple of times they were off by a fair margin.

[Bjornebye]

Funny from Keane there

‘Sloppy Kloppy’. Tyler’s next ‘joke’.

He was his predicable cliched self tonight. Banging on about how Arse were still in the game and fuck all about the way we strangled the life out of them. He absolutely does my head in week in week out with his anti Liverpool bias, shit tag lines and utter cuntishness . I wish the old twat would choke on his own smugness

He really is. You can't press like we did today without playing high. Or else there would be massive gaps. He really doesn't get modern football, Carra. Like, at all. His criticisms are terrible.

[Guest Alex_K]

Klopp & Keane fireworks? As if Roy Keane could lay hands on Jurgen Klopp. Keane's about 5 "8 for fuck sake. The angriest small man in existence. Klopp's got about 6 inches on him and they're roughly similar ages.. Klopp'd slap the silly manc into tomorrow.

I like Neville, especially as a commentator. He knows what’s up.

Arteta is a good manager. He'll do a good job there imo. At the very least he has got a bit of class as a person.

Imagine being as good a player as Arteta was - and having the shit luck to be around at the same time as Xavi, Xabi, Iniesta, Fabregas, etc.

 

I'd be a right bitter cunt if I was him.

[El Rojo]

Imagine trying to play that high line with Adrian in goals? 
 

I’m coming around to the idea that Alisson is even more important to us than Virgil. Neither is replaceable, but one even less so.

Apologies if it's already been said.

After years of saying we need a top quality keeper...fuck me, we have one now

[Em City]

We've gone away to Chelsea who've spent 200 squillion quid on a new chest of shiny toys and hosted the FA Cup champions and anointed bogey team in Arsenal in 8 days and crushed them both like a coke can.

 

Years of disappointment have conditioned me to be cautious but there's no point in not fully enjoying the greatness of this team by not being bullish and bit cocky. We're going to win the league by 10 points minimum and probably closer to 20 realistically.

 

We're fucking boss.

Both Neville and Carragher are shite in their own way, I'll countenance no talk to the contrary. Zero insights, never tell you anything you didn't already know, just some half-arsed shite footballing reeves and mortimer act. They should give them frying pans. If carragher hadn't been fortunate enough to be blessed with footballing talent, he'd have been an extremely poor drug dealer who'd still be doing time now while his boss sunned themselves in Spain, keeping shtum in clink for promise of a brand new mountain bike upon his release.

Yeah well spotted that. Btw I'm so delighted that Gini is still with us. He is a top player with a top attitude.

Yeah it adds to the whole tension of it all docker but it's gone too far. I actually think VAR is good for the game, the problem is poor decision makers and silly rules like the penalty that goes against  Dier yesterday.

[magicrat]

Has anyone mentioned we are above the Blooshite ???

Bollocks that. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I can't be arsed watching the post-match stuff, so I don't know whether they've shown the bit where Salah nicked the ball from Jota.  Tyler and Neville were giving Salah dog's abuse for being greedy, but at the time I thought Jota was offside (which would have made Salah absolutely right to do what he did).
