That was fun 

Yup. A stress-free match for a change. Should have had six in that 1st half, though. 

Super Mik Arteta. Not gonna lie… I was doubtful after 0–0–3, -10.  Couldn’t be happier to be wrong.

I have to admit that a year ago I was wondering if Arteta was the guy.

He seems to have a clear idea of what and who he wants.  Like Beckenbauer, who left Landon Donovan off the squad at the World Cup.

and i have to admit that i have been all in on arteta from the very beginning, and that i engaged in a whole bunch of arguments with fans both here and on reddit defending him for years, and as usual, i was right. this is the opposite of a bumble brag. this is an i-told-you-so. not to you guys specifically, but just the arsenal fan base and footballing world in general.

i always said that there was zero point in judging arteta as long as he wasn't backed by the board and couldn't buy players to fit his system. i always insisted that this was a process, and that it was going to take a few years to flesh out. once the kroenke's bought out the other shareholders, they gave edu and arteta all if the financial backing they need, and voila- turns out that the coach who arsene wenger and pep guardiola mentored and swore by knew what he was doing after all.

how many arsenal fans can legitimately say that they were never "arteta out" for even one moment of their lives? not many. but i can. and so you can imagine how gratifying this season has been for a guy like me who never even considered blinking for one second with my support for arteta. i'm damn proud to be able to say that.

i got cruuuuuuushed when i posted this thread to reddit:

 

every one of my comments got downvoted, people were so insulting and belligerent, and the amount of absolutely clueless people in there who swore i was some arteta cultist jackass is embarrassing. so many posts have since been deleted, lol. the entire thread was just people attacking me and arteta. now it's my victory lap.

I’d expect something along the likes of “Y’all a buncha candyass motherfuckers. Never shoulda doubted. I didn’t. Suck it, assholes.” 

This is The Surl, after all. 🤘

 

I definitely had a couple Arteta out moments.   🤷‍♂️  Happy to be wrong.

What a bargain:

Rice would be a great addition, especially with the added demands of CL football. At 24, he also fits the age profile of the squad.

“…before a summer that is almost certain to see Declan Rice leave West Ham. The England midfielder is determined to compete at a higher level and is likely to join Arsenal.”

Get him some minutes off the bench Thursday and then again on Sunday.  Hopefully he'll be good to go after the international break.

Tomi off injured, and now Saliba is subbed off? Fucking hell...

Xhaka still good for a rocket now and then. Nice cleanup Captain.

Is like another goal please

Hopefully we have another one in us. Smh

Ramsdale picked the correct direction 5 out of 5 times and didn’t get one save. That may be a first.

Well that sucks ass  

At least we won’t have Thurs-Sun fixtures as we chase the League. /copium

shit was crazy. 

Silver linings and all. Not having an EL QF means we play S'ton on Fri Apr 21 instead of Sunday, so we have two days extra rest ahead of City. For comparison, City have Leicester on 4/16, Bayern on 4/18, and Brighton on 4/23.  We have two extra days rest.

Can’t believe we have to fight the new manager bounce again tomorrow. It’s a conspiracy!

Hopefully “several weeks” means the two week international break, the Leeds match, and he’s back for Liverpool on April 9. 

Wouldn’t be as big a deal of Tomi didn’t get hurt, as we’d just shift White to CB and slot Tomi in at RB. Now… I’d assume Rob Holding starts, and we need someone to hypnotize him and convince him it’s the 2017 FA Cup Final again. 

Warning signs are there…. COME ON ARSENAL

Now Xhaka twists his knee…

Edit. Back on, praise Jesus

I remember how pissed everyone was when she announced she just loved Kraftwerke.  Fucking A, lady just do you stupid show and shut up.  

Purring?  Got it.

Quote

Mitchell leave Saka and Zaha doesn't follow him. Saka just guides it low into that far corner. Really good finish again. The timing of the passing. Arsenal are purring right now.

 

Trossard has been an absolute weapon for us. That pass…

XHAKA! COYG!

Starboy!!! I love that kid. And Kieran with the assist!

Palace always plays us well.  These are the games we drop points in in years past.  COYG!

100%.

LFG, Gunners!

I approve. Odegaard has improved immensely since his first loan with us; he's world class and only getting better.

Now we need to get Saliba's deal done and Saka's signed.


Dogshit EL match keeps on shitting; Tomi out for the season. Bennie Blanco gonna have to play 900 of the best minutes of his life, as we have no RB cover now.

Desperately need Saliba’s “few weeks” to only be through the Leeds match and he’s back for Liverpool on Apr 9.
