And take it from a Liverpool fan, selling Ox for £35M or whatever was maybe the best business Arsenal has done in the last decade. As for opposing fans making fun of Arsenal's woes, it's probably in reaction to the pundits and Arsenal fans who proclaimed Arteta the second coming after a few decent results post-COVID break. The attack has been utterly abysmal:
November 28, 20205 yr With the Pool tie - tomorrow's fixture between Chelsea and Tottenham will be for top of the table. A Tottenham win or tie and they will remain at the top of the standings - a Chelsea win and they will jump above Pool and Tottenham. So... kind of a big game.

November 29, 20205 yr Maybe a silly question - I've never bet on soccer before. My book has Chelsea listed at -0.5 for odds of +105. They also have the Chelsea money-line at +110. Aren't these the same thing? Why would the odds be different? You can't win by less than a goal - so if Chelsea covers 0.5 they are guaranteed to hit the moneyline. Why would you not take the ML +110?
November 29, 20205 yr superhype fixtures like this often fail to deliver, but sometimes nil-nil can be just as compelling as 2-2. wow - 2018 spurs win @ bridge only 1 in the last 30 years

It's been quality football so far. I wouldn't exactly prefer a 0-0 draw - but for the layman at home it has been an entertaining start.
November 29, 20205 yr 1 minute ago, HornOnTheBayou said: If you bet them at -.5, you lose the bet if the game ends in a tie. If you bet the ML, you push the bet if the game ends in a tie. That doesn't make sense. Look at the odds for each.
November 29, 20205 yr Just now, ztejas said: That doesn't make sense. Look at the odds for each. Yep, that's why I edited it to "nevermind". Are you sure you looked at the odds correctly? Usually a ML bet (if there is not a tie option) means a push for you if the game ends in a tie.

To those that don't follow it - this was kind of hard to watch.
November 29, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, Captain Ron said: Not from here: If you don't think Pool was cheering for a draw you're insane. Puts less points on the table. Leaves the door open and buys them time.
November 29, 20205 yr I think it's a little early to look to help from 0-0 draws in games that don't include you. Sure, this helps them a little. But given the amount of soccer left this season, IMHO this is really just a blip in terms of help for them.
November 29, 20205 yr really scary collision just now in Arsenal vs Wolves. the Wolves player hasn't moved at all, he appears to have been unconscious for a while now.
November 29, 20205 yr David Luiz appeared to be unconscious for a bit as well, and he needs to be subbed off. I hope we do the right thing and make the change.

November 29, 20205 yr Luiz is actively bleeding through that giant bandage on his head. This isn't cool.

November 30, 20205 yr it's funny how fans of other clubs are making a much bigger deal out of Arsenal's struggles than we are. i don't know what you all expected, but i've known that this shit is not going to get turned around overnight for some time now. as has been discussed in this thread, Arsenal went from a midfield of Santi, Rosicky, Wilshere, Arteta, Ozil, and Oxlade-Chamberlain, to losing all of those guys and failing to replace them. we're never going to have any sustained success in attack as long as that's the case. i saw a mind blowing stat from before the Villa match two weeks ago- Auba's XG on the year is 3; not 30; 3. that's how pathetic our midfield has been/will continue to be until we get some actual players in. so while you guys are over here acting like Arsenal fans should be freaking out and worrying about relegation, i'm over here going, "damn, we've played away matches against Man U, Man City, Liverpool, and Leeds, and yet we still have the best defensive record in the EPL. We have one of the best keepers in the EPL; we have Auba signed to a long term deal; we've brought in the likes of Tierney, Saka, Partey, and Gabriel to help defensively, and they've been great. we're building a winning team piece by piece." yeah, the rebuild still has a long way to go, but anyone with an objective look at our roster makeup can see that Arteta is actually doing some pretty fine work considering what he's got to work with in midfield. if we still look like this a year from now, then i'll be worried. until then, it's gonna be a whole lot of 1-0 and 0-0 games for Arsenal. it is what it is.You don’t have the best defense in the EPL.
November 30, 20205 yr Fulham beats Leceister. Seems like they should have taken a shot at the empty net at the end but they still hung on.

November 30, 20205 yr Author And that concludes another exciting week of English Premier League ruined by VAR.
December 1, 20205 yr And we have our first covid related match postponement. Maybe stop the internationals.
