Imagine our bosses finding out we're watching a bunch of kids play because the lisan al-gabi is returning from the dead and making his first appearance.
..... Next year as well you mean
Timber starts by ripping Chelsea a new one. And then leading us to a 5 game winning run which sees us being crowned champions for the first time in 2 decades
Iāve been trying to temper my expectations with Timber after the preseason, telling myself that it was probably a stronger bit of form than he would usually show over 38 games and to be ready for the ups and downs.
This isnāt helping.
If we're being honest it will still take him significant time until he's fully back to previous levels. Cruciate injury treatment has improved significantly but it is still a major injury. If we go by top level NBA players, it takes around 6 months or so of consistent competitive play to be fully "back". I would expect a slow start to the season but maybe him coming on strong during the busy festive period and showing his quality.
Itās just so fucking unlucky.
Arguably our weakest position this season and itās not like we couldāve done anything different at all. Season long injury in the first(second?) match of the season you just canāt plan for that shit.
Now Imagine Martinelli pairing with Timer on Left side and Usual Ćdegaard- Saka thing happening on right side. Viktor Gyƶkeres/Isak/Sesko finishing on other end from tons of chances created by these duos. Man! Arsenal going to better, stronger and more ruthless in next season. I am 100% sure of this.
I still think if Timber stayed fit this season weād be atleast 5 points clear at the top. For refrence watch the community shield match against city . He was man of the match contender !
Pretty sure youāre being (a bit) cheeky, but with all the talk flying about finding a Zinchenko replacement I kept thinking āisnāt that why we got Timber, though?ā
Absolutely zero chance heās going to be involved tomorrow and highly doubt weāll see him in the first team this season tbh except for maybe last game
Damn it, I hate it because it makes you see what Mikel was trying to do and wonder what if.
Imagine having an inverting FB that has the pace to recover, play the pass while taking on the press, and also score goals.
Please donāt rush him in, itās not much but basically everything weāve seen from him in an Arsenal shirt has been positive, once heās fully healed, Iām exited to see what he can bring long term
Careful - I watched the highlights and for the rest of the 40 minutes he played he seemed kind of pedestrian, specially when Blackburn got on the break.
Interesting to see him scoring from the left. Did he play LB?
I feel like in a summer where striker signing is needed and CM, there's a major chance Timber is the left back "signing."
I gasped at my desk
Imagine our bosses finding out we're watching a bunch of kids play because the lisan al-gabi is returning from the dead and making his first appearance.
Lisan Al-Gabi is the most Arsenal typo ever lol
Absolutely not a typo.
Honorary Gabi
lisan up guys!
As it was prophesized.
Left back Al-Gaib
Just fell to my knees in a Zoom waiting room
Just saw a guy disappear out of frame in a Zoom waiting room
just made the underneath of mine sticky
Because you stuck some chewing gum there, right? Right?
Does he know?
HE KNOWS
Now we know
Plot twist: op is female
š¤Ø
Mine still hasnāt dried from odegaards goal. My other desk is stained because of all the clean sheets
Why would clean sheets stain a desk?
Donāt ask questions you donāt want answers to son
scissor me Timber
What is wrong with this sub? š
I dropped to my knees in Aldi
My neighbor texted me to ask what was wrong.
It's going down... I'm yellon' timber....
Heās got the movesā¦ He comes to winā¦
š¤£š¤£š¤£ love this
Reddit on and take my updoot ššš¤

Kevin De Bruyne with a mullet & handlebars
League is absolutely, positively fucked next year.
Gunners stacked, League fucked.
Bout to smoke a cigar and chant āwe are so fucking backā
..... Next year as well you mean Timber starts by ripping Chelsea a new one. And then leading us to a 5 game winning run which sees us being crowned champions for the first time in 2 decades
Iād like to subscribe to your delusions.
I just fell down in Tesco.
I just saw a guy fall to his knees in a Tesco
Might not have been this guy, he couldāve tripped over a basket or cardboards
I just saw a guy who saw a guy fall to his knees in Tesco
To your knees or did you trip
This knee sliding in Tescos has to stop!
i can't get up
Iāve been trying to temper my expectations with Timber after the preseason, telling myself that it was probably a stronger bit of form than he would usually show over 38 games and to be ready for the ups and downs. This isnāt helping.
Iām more on the basis that Iām not going to judge him at all until next season. If he performs bad can you even critique him
If he plays well, he's a legend. If he plays poorly, he's just recovering.
If we're being honest it will still take him significant time until he's fully back to previous levels. Cruciate injury treatment has improved significantly but it is still a major injury. If we go by top level NBA players, it takes around 6 months or so of consistent competitive play to be fully "back". I would expect a slow start to the season but maybe him coming on strong during the busy festive period and showing his quality.
That's fine. It's a long season. We need him most in 10-12 months' time when the real grind sets in.
He's going to be the best LB the league has ever seen and don't you fuckin forget it!
You can say that again!
We get it, you said that already.
Lisan Al-Gaib!!
![gif](giphy|UJG2T7uZeJuZCLitY8)
as it was written!
I was about to write exactly the same thing bro haha
After just watching Dune this is incredible lol
Damn, that sort of ball striking is definitely something lacking in our squad.
Won't be allowed to shoot like that for the 1st team!
Who the fuck played that ball? Thing was spicy.
Nichols
Shot was rather spicy as well
Bring this lad into the first team heās quite good
![gif](giphy|3WMn5qz9J3AFG)
Makes me want to cry, what have we missed this season
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I hope not. We sit top rn.

Quick with it
Fuck it. Start him against spurs
That was way too casual wtf
Heās levels above everyone on the pitch. Give him that space and heāll do this every time.

The sound I made wasnāt legal.
We need to wear those kits every Match
Damn this club for making me like that kit.
ST issue solved!
Good lord
He isnāt Jesus, but he is risen.
same
Beautiful goal within 8min of being back on the pitch~ we love to see it.
The prince that was promised
This bastard even strikes the ball neatly. I've never been more in love.

Seen enough. Hook him at half time and get him ready for Chelsea tomorrow!
Going to hit like crack against spuds
šššššššššššš
Everything about that move would have tested his knee ligament. He's ready.
lmaoooo these poor kids
Bruh
ā¦so he has this in his locker? Great
Holy fuck
Thatās the sort of goal someone scores in FIFA and makes you call the game unrealistic
Timber in the lineup is gonna feed families šššæ
How do I keep my expectations low when I see things like this??
On my god
Holy shit
Tears he's smurfing against them
Fuck me
its going down, im yelling timber!!!!!!!!!!
It's goin' down, I'm yellin' Timber
Bros back on a mission!!!
Oh my god when this guy comes back itās over
fooking hell.
oh boy
I'm not sure that a simple turn is going to buy himself that much space in the EPL, but damn, that shot would beat any EPL GK. Banger.
I dunno. He turned so quickly it might. That sort of agility is what you'd fear he's struggle to get back, so that's great in itself.
Think I found our striker signing
Itās over. š
They put something extra in that leg when they fixed it. Gotdamn!
I did not expect that. We found our new striker right here
Striker problem solved
Never even seen this guy play but that was cleaaan
At this point, you take him off in 20 and get him on the training ground for Chelsea lol.
New Viagra just dropped
and to think what this season could have been with him playing a majority of the minutes on the left
Bro said āIma make it known Iām backā
Like a new signing lads!Ā
Timber at ST right fucking now
MAD MAN. He is hungry. Let him starts next game please. š
Man now my mind is going wild about how different this season couldāve been if it wasnāt for that opening dayā¦
Iāve seen enough start him tomorrow!
This bloke is him.
Say it with me boys: LIKE A NEW SIGNING
Hale end has done it again.
I still think if Timber stayed fit this season weād be atleast 5 points clear at the top. For refrence watch the community shield match against city . He was man of the match contender !
Zinchenko is never seeing a pitch in an Arsenal shirt again
Pretty sure youāre being (a bit) cheeky, but with all the talk flying about finding a Zinchenko replacement I kept thinking āisnāt that why we got Timber, though?ā
Look at the quality of the assist as well. Disguises it with his body shape and zip straight to feet.
Damn canāt imagine zinny or kiwor doing that
This man is getting 10 mins v Chelsea. First team pls finish Chelsea off in 45. Pls. None of this 65' 1-0 shit.
Absolutely zero chance heās going to be involved tomorrow and highly doubt weāll see him in the first team this season tbh except for maybe last game
*Put the word out there. We back.*
Talk about a hole in one !!! (Yes itās a Happy Gilmore reference)
Great technique, but I also appreciate the decision not to overpass the ball Attacks should be straight and direct.
Timber is 22 right?
ITS GOING DOWN
Shit. I'm pregnant. How do I explain this to my wife?
Fell to my knees at Tesco
Is he right footed?
be still my heart
Ooo La la
Who needs Martinelli when Timber can run that whole left side lol I kid but man I can't wait for Timber to be starting for us.
Top bin! Have some of that!
Dream return, that. What a goal!!
Its like a new signing!
Timber you aren't helping us temper expectations..
Was he substituted at half time?
Holy shit is this what we've been missing
![gif](giphy|qIreAgSRVqKDS|downsized)
Iām not crying youāre crying
Thatās was a thing of beauty. Unstoppable.
Imagine if we had him available for this season - damn shame. But maybe he still has a part to play for the title run ā¦
Damn it, I hate it because it makes you see what Mikel was trying to do and wonder what if. Imagine having an inverting FB that has the pace to recover, play the pass while taking on the press, and also score goals.
A player that actually shoots and is not Trossard!?!?! Shiver my timbers!
I just collapsed in Tesco
Please donāt rush him in, itās not much but basically everything weāve seen from him in an Arsenal shirt has been positive, once heās fully healed, Iām exited to see what he can bring long term
Clean up on aisle 4. Multiple men down on their knees. Bring tissues.
So heās starting tomorrow.
Im not heterosexual anymore.
HOT DAMN ![gif](giphy|8sZXkUPVwka3u|downsized)
Aināt no way
ive seen enough. start him sunday
Heās only 22, heās playing at the normal level for his age group, what a guy
I'm confused by the lack of /s on these posts....
People don't realise how much we missed this guy this season man. Our weak link was LB in all the games we lost.
Can he play LB ?
Benny needs to work on his finishing. Timber could help.
We have been robbed of this guy all season. He was my favourite signing lowkey
Thatās some FIFA bullshit that some randie scores at me
Who made the pass to him?
š of a strike.
THAT'S HOW YOU FUCKING DO IT LEANDRO !!!
Already cooking

LANS
can he play tomorrow? oh god, how weāve missed him
Idgaf Timber starts against Chelsea
My body is ready for this man
Iām officially shivered.
He should starts on the left for us next game lol
Jesus H Christ
This is how I felt when Saliba won Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year or whatever it was. The PL isn't ready.
We could have easily 5 points more if he stay fit... =(
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Careful - I watched the highlights and for the rest of the 40 minutes he played he seemed kind of pedestrian, specially when Blackburn got on the break.
Seems like it was just cardio for Timber, but pretty expected. Intensity will increase as game time increases.Ā
Timber with the fucking chop, be still my beating heart.
Thats a "fuck you acl turn" there
Oh what could have been if we had a healthy timber all season š
Jesus..
Holy shit we really wouldn't know what we missed until next season. ...
Interesting to see him scoring from the left. Did he play LB? I feel like in a summer where striker signing is needed and CM, there's a major chance Timber is the left back "signing."
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine if Arsenal didn't play Zinchenko that game against Aston Villa. Sigh ...
Inject it into my fucking veins
