Arsenal (A) - Sun 4th Feb 2024 (4:30pm)

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

The performance is so much more worrying than the result, for me.

[El Rojo]

Just a small thing, but can you imagine the reaction if Henderson meekly accepted that Arsenal player baiting him like our cult hero number 9 did?

[mike23]

Miserable afternoon. Too many players unavailable. Awful display other than a half decent spell at the start of the second half. The usual cunt of a ref giving us absolutely nothing all afternoon. Not having that Arsenal are any good though. Even with all the aforementioned factors they still only won because van Dijk and Alisson had the sort of calamitous mix up Sunday league players would have been embarrassed by.

Lost 4 points against this lot.

 

Can blame no one other than us.

Worst performance of the season. Well timed. 

First real league defeat of the season.

 

Fuck it.  We'll not be this shit again. Arsenal and City will drop points. There's more than a third of the season to go.

 

It's a bad day. Shit it out and go again.

[halewood pete]

Best team on the day wins

Fuck off Arsenal you jammy, jammy twats. As bad as we've been, they've been handed this win today. A fuck up from Allison and a shot that deflects through the keepers legs. They'll be smelling themselves for weeks after this. Cunts.

 

And our goal?

 

They have fully deserved to win the game, they've been much the better team.

Let's not blame the ref today. 

 

Bad tactics and a shit attitude by some have fucked us. Martinelli must love playing us. 

Ref wasn't too bad today. Can't blame the ref for that abomination of a performance.  Fucking shite.

Arsenal are a very good side and we have no divine right to points against them. Looks like the players forgot that. Half assed, sloppy, scared. No courage at all in the first half.

Agreed. It just is what it is. 

[niallers]

Yeah, and I'm fucked off with our fans today too. They should be staying and applauding the team for unbeaten run, even if they've played bad. What a horrible fucking day. Faux atmosphere creating wankers. What the fuck is that song at the end too?

 This.  Just a shame we didn't turn up today 

[skend04]

I genuinely don't understand how Arteta got away in the second half by blocking our throw ins, whilst outside of his technical area. Odergaard dissenting at most free kicks and Nunez gets a yellow for getting fouled.

 

Aside that, we were terrible today.

I saw the teamsheet, and knew it would be tough. Basically the mistake at the back changed the momentum. Bad day at the office yes. WE’RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE

Until City play their games in hand.

Can't win em all.

 

First defeat of the season.

Second, denying the defeat at Spurs is fucking ridiculous, its in the record books.

I'll have 2 of whatever you're on, we'll be lucky to be within that many of city.

The league does.

Sure, but we know we didn’t lose it.

[Joso]

Arteta is the most unlikeable cunt in the league.

[niallers]

Too may big players missing today and the big players we had, they didn't play at all. What a fucking cunt of a day.

[KMD7]

That Arteta's a bad tit. Wanker.

It feels ridiculous writing this because at worse we would be potentially 1 pt behind, but given the fucking relentless nature of previous title races with the cheats - it is hard to not be really down about this loss today and to feel that we now have a seriously uphill climb in front of us.

It is just our poxy luck to once again go away to one of our hardest games missing key men - but that aside, this is a savage blow today and it feels really, really shite.

 

The manner of the defeat feels worse than the actual fact we lost.

How fucking shite is it when what is only your 2nd loss and it is fucking February, feels like a possible/potential hammer blow....That sadly though is where the cheats have pushed things to.

Urrrgggh.

Yeah, that’s the thing - I’m surprised by how people get lured into a false sense of security by them year after year. It’s after New Year that they’re almost unstoppable, so you absolutely cannot allow them to get in front of you.

Given City’s run of games, we almost certainly now have to win every game up to and including the one against them at Anfield. Even if we manage that, we cannot drop any further points unless they’ve already done so because they’ll just capitalise if we do.

Ours was jammy as well and we were second best. I just hate seeing the smug cunts giving it the beans given the fortunate way their goals came about.

Not really much option on that one, Dave.

Yeah- didn’t realise. Honestly thought Klopp had gone with experience 

[El Rojo]

State of Odegaard, acting like he’s won something beyond a league game. Christ.
