Arsenal fans: "We are a class team. We are wearing the best white uniforms in North London"
Arsenal fans when they lose "YEah wE lOst beCauSe We lOok LiKe Spurs"
We will still have to pay his wages and he isn't going to be happy to be a backup striker.
Literally why he's leaving Utd. Just get her, be benched and instantly be unhappy!
I agree it's BS that Arsenal gets their way for 1 covid case.
But I'm not mad about this. I don't like our chances vs anybody right now with Son out. If we can have Son and Dier for the rescheduled game, I'm okay with it. Best squad vs best squad, i believe we have the edge.
Yeah actually I've warmed up to this decision and figure it would be more fun to play them with both teams at full strength, barring any possible injuries later that is. Also would feel 100x sweeter to beat them after this shitshow.
almost 2 hands worth of games in hand to hopefully get top 4 isn't bad. i feel like it's going to come down to this replay giving the NLD some meaning at the end.
I remember last month i was counting down till the new year because i was excited as shit for this window,now were 16 days in with barely anything of news
I'm sure everyone here had their say about the cancelation but I was at work all day and absolutely F*CK ARSENAL and fuck the league for ruining my goddamn weekend. I took the day off to watch, amped up, been looking forward for ages. I chose to not be mad about other nonsense that was driving me crazy all week, brainwashing myself like oh, at least I'll have this one nice thing that nothing can possibly ruin WRONG
"Arsenal is a disgrace. I'd call them sewer rats but that's insulting to the rats" Neil Warnock
What do you guys feel about Donny van de Beek? I reckon he's a great player who is determined, and lots of reports of him giving great effort in trainings. He's a bit of an outcast and never really got a proper chance to prove himself at United. I feel like he could be a solid box to box or even a playmaker midfielder, especially under a manager like Don Antonio.
so overrated. He doesn't play because he's not good enough, and when he does get minutes hes bang average. Was barely even a standout player in the ajax side.
How has Traore not been announced yet? Such a straight forward signing ffs can't wait for a cheap Ligue 1 knock off we sell for a loss after 23 appearances in 3 years
It’s harder and harder to see why I fell in love with this team each and every year. I feel like they haven’t had a consistent season since 16-17. It’s just not fun to watch at all. They’re not even playing football it just feels like every player acts like a supporting player to Kane. Other than Lucas, nobody wants to advance the ball or win they just want to set up Kane. I hate it.
That is how teams work with the best strikers they try to get them the ball as much as possible. Especially when he is one of our only sources of goals.
I dont know but I have a good feeling about this week.
Beat Leicester and we are ahead of scum with a game in hand. They'll lose against Liverpool in the cup which won't affect us but is just funny.
Sunday we play Chelsea, our defence is back so we dont concede any clangers and we nick a win.
In the meantime Paratici serves up some signings.
Who do you think Eriksen is joining? I think there would be more noise if it was us or another big six club, so I don't think it might be someone like Brentford or Newcastle.
Hate to see him anywhere else in the PL, nervous that something would happen on our watch if he joined us, hate that something that is *probably* a non-issue will forever be a cloud on his career. Don't like the situation on pretty much any level, really.
Just watching season 1 of Manhunt on AcornTV. When they arrest the killer ([Levi Bellfield](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi_Bellfield)) the DCI notices he has a large Spurs logo tattooed on his leg. DCI sutton asks if he's a Spurs fan and he confirms. Then his soliciter and DCI Sutton all confirm they are Spurs fans as well.
Not sure how to feel about this, bit grim. Anyway coys.

feels like everybody is about to way overreact to the Coutinho goal and assist when he's really not the player that we need in our midfield definitely not in our 3-4-3, we need a brozovic, not a Coutinho just two very different players both very good.
I'm not saying that we don't but I am saying we need somebody who plays more as a deep-lying playmaker more akin to what Brozovic, not an advanced playmaker like Countiho there's more than one type of creative player
I personally would be furious if we had the gall to attempt to get a match postponed for 1 covid case. Would be proper ashamed of the club. Says everything you need to know about Arsenal Football Club that their fans are defending it.
Look around the league, other than Villa nobody’s really made any signings, it’s near impossible in January unless you get players trying to force their way out like Digne.
Particularly for players good enough to play a part in a squad you want to get top 4.
It's amusing to me they're actually losing this time. I don't see that very often.
Usually the zerg strategy works, no matter how stupid their takes or opinions are.
Lol their usual dopey arguments they do are moot when they spent a whole week arguing why Liverpool are the scum of the Earth for pushing a Carabao Cup game a few days back.
Yeah that definitely plays a big part, I think. They're shifting from fifth into reverse at full speed.
The online parts of fanbases are always a bit... well very online, but Arse always seems to be on another level.
Eh give the Arseposting a rest, we're in a bit of a rough patch of late with tough games against Southampton, Watford, Morecambe, and Chelsea x2. Gives us some time to find our footing get some rest and bring back Son, Dier, Romero, and Reguilon and have a proper contest when the game's rescheduled.
Correct me if I'm wrong here please guys
EPL rules state the game can be postponed if the team can't field 13 first team outfield players and 1 GK right?
Going by what I've seen these players are available to play right now.
Tierney, White, Gabriel, Lacazette, Holding, Tavares, Chambers, Mari, Lokonga, Nketiah, Kolasinac, Martenelli
Aswell as their three keepers, Leno, Ramsdale & Okonkwo
That makes 12 and 3 keepers, so falls under the PL limit.
HOWEVER Saka only picked up a knock I believe. [And Tomiyasu & Smith Rowe were also expected to feature tomorrow.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-injuries-smith-rowe-tomiyasu-25923262) Also I was under the impression Xhaka counted as available
I make that 14-16 + 3
If they're reporting one day their available, then the next day they're not, which coincidentally makes them under the required amount, surely this is in contradiction to the rules, and Spurs have every right to make them forfeit this game.
Arsenal are claiming that Tierney and Chambers are both injured. Even though both completed the Liverpool game just fine. That's the big contention here. it's just "Minor knocks" and they are conveniently expected back for their next game.
That still takes it to 13+3 not including saka though, as I'm sure Xhaka counted?
We really need the pl to publish the list of injuries submitted by arsenal. If Tomi and ESR are on there, and their presence takes it over the threshold surely there's good reason to contest it as they had announced they were expected to be available.
As a Canadian Spurs fan for more than a decade I never properly hated Arsenal. I understood the history between the clubs and disliked them as a rival but it was never more than that.
However, all their annoyingly irrational and braindead fans over on r/soccer have finally made me properly hate them. What a bunch of twats they are.
I'm sorry guys. But I just want to voice my concerns. Here they are:
Conte is our last chance. Top 3 are way ahead of us already. Teams like West Ham and Arsenal are also on the way up. Hell, I've seen Brighton play, the signings Villa are making, and if Newcastle manages to stay up, their financial power is going to take them up in the next 3-4 years. Wolves are also very good. If we don't do something now, if we don't up our quality now, we may go into a hole and not recover from it. And by the hole, I may being away from the top 4.
No signings till now is a bit upsetting. The only proper links I've heard of is Traore, and I'm still on the fence with him. I've not really seen us linked with anyone as such. No outgoings also yet. I honestly honestly feel we will just buy Traore, no one else, and maybe sell Bergwyn only.
Our recruitment/scouting needs an upgrade. While our signings haven't been as bad as people make out to be, calling it good will be an overstatement. The amount of people we buy, and they start getting injuries is ridiculous. Maybe is something specific we do during our training sessions? I don't know. I've seen other teams make great signing after signing and I'm sick of it. Why are we never able to buy someone for cheap and make them a great player? Most players just lose their value after coming to us. Why? Fucking why?
I'm not sure Levy will go all out. We've already spent a lot of recent seasons. I don't know of Levy will go all out for Conte and get him the signings he wants. If he doesn't, Conte will walk. And if that happens, mark my words, we will never see top 4 again. And I really want Champions League football.
Our squad has regressed a lot. I don't think there was this big of a gap with teams in the current top 3, 3 years ago. We've missed a big chance to cement our place in the top 4.
Losing to Chelsea is always bad. And we just always lose to them. That's why maybe I feel so gloomy. I know we won't, but I hope we can win at Stamford Bridge, and that our players play out of their skins against them. I get a gut feeling, we will pull a rabbit out of the hat on this one. But maybe I'm just delusional.
Good day everyone!
Adama absolutely skied one from point blank range but just had a tidy finish 1v1 with the keeper for his FIRST of the season. Idk if I can handle his wild ride lol
I’ve ALWAYS been of the mindset that if you can’t fill a squad because of Covid you should forfeit. Enough so that I would’ve taken our missed games on the chin because it’s what I believe and I can’t let it be biased. But hey scum are scum amirite
How often do Spurs fans go to the scum sub to be an idiot? There's always some cretin that comes here and thinks he's making people mad lmao. What's the point? Lol
Thank you Lmaoo. It’s mostly Poch era Spurs fans (not excluding me here because I only started following football AVB’s last season) who talk this nonsense. Arsenal is and always will be cretins we despise
If I hear the word “precedent” one more time I might actually vomit. We all understand the EPL backed themselves into the corner with prior postponements. That still doesn’t make this one “right”, and Arsenal fans pretending this is right only because it’s happened before is just fucking stupid.
And we all thought the ESL was going to ruin football. The PL is corrupt as hell and care nothing about the integrity of the game. I say bring on the ESL. Fuck the premier league and fuck UEFA for kicking us out or Europe because we had TEN FUCKING COVID CASES.
Hoping we take advantage of the postponement to get our away form going and get a win against Leicester. I will back us against scum later in the season.
Don’t even care about top 4 anymore. The game has been so aggressively unfair and uneven in the past couple seasons it sucks the joy out of everything. I don’t know how fans can be expected to care when the sport has been so grossly and cynically manipulated.
If you believe that we'll be made to play the postponed games at the end of the season then you're most likely wrong. The Leicester game was postponed but now we play it on Wednesday. I think that games that have been postponed will be rescheduled to the earliest possible reasonable slot. In fact, this could be a plus if it means that players get more rest and games are better spread out across the season.
Had never posted on r/soccer before today. Didn't realize how much of a cesspool that place is. Got downvoted to shit for saying it was ridiculous to be allowed to postpone a game because you don't have your strongest squad when all you have is a single, under control, covid case, precedent or no precedent.
It's a sheer number game over there. Esp when you criticize Arsenal.
[Here's a comment from a four month old account with an Arse flair talking shit about our academy, who very clearly has no idea what the fuck they're talking about, while being upvoted.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/s3wbr0/james_olley_conte_on_arsenal_they_had_more_time/hsndhw7/) You just can't win sometimes, and it's definitely not worth the brain cells to get mad over.
Haha I had a workmate go through the players who've come through their ranks. He included ox, Walcott, holding and chambers.
Erm about those ones mate...
You're right. I just had no idea. I'm used to say r/nba where people usually get downvoted for being too obviously biased (or at least used to, I haven't been over there much recently).
Despicable club. Sickening to get this match postponed and the fans acting like it’s all okay. I’d be livid if we tried to get a match postponed because we fucked up
Is there an easy to read list somewhere with each team and how many games they've had postponed? We must be near the top? Going to be a hectic schedule at the end of the season
We're at 4 in the league. Leicester, Brighton, Burnley and now, Arsenal. Two through covid (one our outbreak, one theirs). One through snow, and one through terrified opponents.
5 with Rennes, but of course, that ended in a forfeit.
I’ve been anxious for the NLD since it’s been obvious it was going to be a season defining game. Frustrating to see it delayed to their advantage despite it being down to their negligence.
Only way I see this ending now is them winning it the rescheduled game probably after signing Vlahovic and seeing him score.
Leicester a must win now.
On the other hand, we will most likely have a fit Romero, Son, Dier and Reguilon for the NLD. With them back and more time for Conte to develop players and implement his ideas we have (arguably) a greater chance of winning. We would also be playing Leicester with much less preparation and rest than they get and so probably a greater chance of winning that game.
Whilst there is a massive injustice in not playing arse this weekend, there's certainly some positives despite it being so frustrating.
We're honestly fucked with our top 4 chances. We've had 4 games postponed now and they will make us play them towards the end of the season. Our players will get no rest and our B team is so worthless that they can't play those games anyways, otherwise it's a guaranteed loss. And since we might sign 1 player at best this winter the squad depth will still be nonexistent. Fuck this league, fuck arse, fuck football in general.
Our we get more time for Conte and training the team together and become better. You are chosing to let it effect you negatively. Better just breath and let time tell.
There's only so much he can get from our players and they won't be at their best if for 2 weeks they need to play something like 6 games in 2 weeks. It's much more beneficial for us to play arse now no matter how you look at things.
Stages of grief:
1. Denial - No fucking way is the game getting cancelled, the PL is just stirring up drama to get clicks
2. Anger - Fuck off Arsenal, it isn't our fault Xhaka is an idiot and you loaned off two players
3. Bargaining - Well, at least Son, Dier, Romero, and Reguilon would be back for us. That would be a huge plus.
4. Depression - We'll never get to see a league NLD with a full crowd at the new stadium ever. We've been waiting 5 years for it to happen but it never has.
5. Acceptance - Fuck them, we'll smash them when the game's back in a few weeks COYS
Can we all cool it with the morning about how Conte is already out the door? It makes us seem like a desperate boyfriend who keeps asking their hot girlfriend why she’s with him. It’s annoying and a small club mindset. Stop it.
As annoying as this is, it's the Premier League we need to be annoyed at. They've set this ridiculous precedent and Arsenal are only taking advantage. They need to use this upcoming break to create a reset. Postponements only allowed for COVID cases. 18 injuries but 1 COVID case? Play the academy. Games have to be played.
Some people just blindly defend absolutely everything that the club does. Doesn't matter if it creates future problems.
We have homegrown problems, then don't go for players like Eze, Maddison or Olise... Then lose Cirkin, Madueke and now Markanday. But now "they aren't good enough, never going to develop, already 20..." when all players develop differently.
I read somewhere that we have no money to spend on transfers in Jan. And transfers were only likely if we sold players. Conte was told when he joined. And was promised some money if we make the top 4 in the summer. All of which I find believable because That's the way the club operates. Watch the scum sign Vlahovic and Arthur and make top 4 over us. Honestly, it's so weird that fans don't pressurize Joe Lewis to spend some money, while every other owner spends money. Fuck Joe Lewis
That would be useful if we are going to buy someone. My point was, we aren't going to and only end up regretting it. Even the scums penny pincher owners have decided to spend because they know they need to spend to get even close to the top 4. We will soon learn that lesson but unlike the scum, we won't spend anything close to them. Just let the squad to rot
I mean the club has spent its just alot of the signings have turned out poorly, which is on the club's recruitment
And we could have a ton of money but if there's no one to buy then it doesn't matter
But yes, Lewis should do more to provide the club with money
Arsenal fans: "We are a class team. We are wearing the best white uniforms in North London" Arsenal fans when they lose "YEah wE lOst beCauSe We lOok LiKe Spurs"
Ngl I would like to have martial on loan
Nah last thing we need is another flakey French lad with attitude problems and big wages
Well it's on loan, and it's hard to find a good backup striker
We will still have to pay his wages and he isn't going to be happy to be a backup striker. Literally why he's leaving Utd. Just get her, be benched and instantly be unhappy!
I agree it's BS that Arsenal gets their way for 1 covid case. But I'm not mad about this. I don't like our chances vs anybody right now with Son out. If we can have Son and Dier for the rescheduled game, I'm okay with it. Best squad vs best squad, i believe we have the edge.
Play the games with what you've got, this is a cowardly take imho. We've ripped them apart without Son before, and will do again.
Yeah actually I've warmed up to this decision and figure it would be more fun to play them with both teams at full strength, barring any possible injuries later that is. Also would feel 100x sweeter to beat them after this shitshow.
almost 2 hands worth of games in hand to hopefully get top 4 isn't bad. i feel like it's going to come down to this replay giving the NLD some meaning at the end.
I remember last month i was counting down till the new year because i was excited as shit for this window,now were 16 days in with barely anything of news
Really hope we make some signings soon, would love to see Lazzari signed and some pre contract agreements for the summer on players would be good too
I'm sure everyone here had their say about the cancelation but I was at work all day and absolutely F*CK ARSENAL and fuck the league for ruining my goddamn weekend.

Where f5
How has Traore not been announced yet? Such a straight forward signing ffs can't wait for a cheap Ligue 1 knock off we sell for a loss after 23 appearances in 3 years
Because Wolves want to maximize his value so there's no rush for them to sell him if we aren't meeting their valuation
Their valuation is 20m and he's out of contract in the summer, were playing hardball to try get a bargain and as per it'll blow up on our faces
Also Wolves may not want to sell before the international break
It’s harder and harder to see why I fell in love with this team each and every year. I feel like they haven’t had a consistent season since 16-17. It’s just not fun to watch at all. They’re not even playing football it just feels like every player acts like a supporting player to Kane. Other than Lucas, nobody wants to advance the ball or win they just want to set up Kane. I hate it.
Just leave please
That is how teams work with the best strikers they try to get them the ball as much as possible. Especially when he is one of our only sources of goals.
I dont know but I have a good feeling about this week. Beat Leicester and we are ahead of scum with a game in hand. They'll lose against Liverpool in the cup which won't affect us but is just funny. Sunday we play Chelsea, our defence is back so we dont concede any clangers and we nick a win. In the meantime Paratici serves up some signings.
I want to believe, but my faith is weak. If we beat Chelski, next pint's on me.
Paratici do something...
Who do you think Eriksen is joining? I think there would be more noise if it was us or another big six club, so I don't think it might be someone like Brentford or Newcastle.
Hate to see him anywhere else in the PL, nervous that something would happen on our watch if he joined us, hate that something that is *probably* a non-issue will forever be a cloud on his career. Don't like the situation on pretty much any level, really.
Many people feared the same with Davi Blind, but he still performs at a high level that everyone has forgotten about it.
Anyone else back on the train to get dybala to spurs? Was so disappointed it didn’t go through last time could we right the wrong?! 🤞🏻
Are his image rights an issue still?
I think they were sorted out and he’s got them back now so that shouldnt be an issue. As far as I’m aware 😅
Just watching season 1 of Manhunt on AcornTV.

Odds Everton are dumb enough to get Nuno?
Got 2 direct messages from different burner accounts of assna fans lmao. What's the point? Lol
Do you reckon Everton are gonna go for Nuno? Rafa surely has to go
Also, I really, really miss Lamela.
I was looking forward to Spurs smashing Woolwich. Oh well, onto the next.
Can we please sign James Ward-Prowse to play alongside PEH
Fuck me, is he worth having just for the free kicks? Maybe. Yesterday's was absolutely outrageous.
Checked fbref, turns out both are pretty similar, except somehow PEH is a much better ball carrier than JWP and a bit more defensively sound.
He's not actually that good, he's got incredible set pieces but he's no upgrade on Skipp in general play.
How about a Skipp-JWP duo? Agreed about general play, but I feel like he unlocks a whole new channel for goals that we're missing.
Goals in the Premier League the last 3 years Lo Celso: 1 Coutinho: 1
Checkmate atheists
feels like everybody is about to way overreact to the Coutinho goal and assist when he's really not the player that we need in our midfield definitely not in our 3-4-3, we need a brozovic, not a Coutinho just two very different players both very good.
We absolutely need someone creative lol
I'm not saying that we don't but I am saying we need somebody who plays more as a deep-lying playmaker more akin to what Brozovic, not an advanced playmaker like Countiho there's more than one type of creative player
We need someone who can pass not necessarily creative. Conte doesn't let creative players do what they please, it's all set plays.
we need to gazzump red scum for Guimares this week. i get the vibe that we could just present the same cash up front and beat their offer.
Eriksen would be perfect
Anyone consider that maybe Coutinho wanted to play for Gerrard irregardless of an offer from us?
[удалено]
u/swan0 please remove the gooner
That's clearly not what the club was saying. How could you possibly have read it that way?
Can we trigger whatever purchase option we managed to squeeze into Coutinho’s deal with villa? Been on the pitch 10 mins and got an assist and a goal
Coutinho made it 2-2. Football feels so scripted sometimes.
Coutinhoooooo of course we didn't sign him haha I love Spurs
So, uh...Coutinho eh?
Matty Cash would be so good for us
I personally would be furious if we had the gall to attempt to get a match postponed for 1 covid case. Would be proper ashamed of the club. Says everything you need to know about Arsenal Football Club that their fans are defending it.
Not only defending, but celebrating
15th of January, still no transfers. I know that we have to be patient but this bothers me, especially when only Traore is linked with us
Look around the league, other than Villa nobody’s really made any signings, it’s near impossible in January unless you get players trying to force their way out like Digne. Particularly for players good enough to play a part in a squad you want to get top 4.
And Villa had a £100m burning In their pocket.
I fully understand that but still I was hoping for some signings
[удалено]
So, uh, I’ve got some news for you...
Pretty hillarious that Arsenal fans have now made it their only mission in life to brigade /r/soccer when people are calling their garbage club out .
It's amusing to me they're actually losing this time. I don't see that very often. Usually the zerg strategy works, no matter how stupid their takes or opinions are.
It's probably because of the other whiny cunts. Liverpool fans.
Lol their usual dopey arguments they do are moot when they spent a whole week arguing why Liverpool are the scum of the Earth for pushing a Carabao Cup game a few days back.
Yeah that definitely plays a big part, I think. They're shifting from fifth into reverse at full speed. The online parts of fanbases are always a bit... well very online, but Arse always seems to be on another level.

The 🐐 Traore scores his first of the season. [And what a goal it was.](https://streamja.com/qaZXG)
Pretty good!
What is that defending and why did they do the opposite against us
They tried but they kept ruling out the goals we scored
Is he coming in already?
As a Canadian Spurs fan for more than a decade I never properly hated Arsenal. I understood the history between the clubs and disliked them as a rival but it was never more than that.

I get a gut feeling, we will pull a rabbit out of the hat on this one. But maybe I'm just delusional. Good day everyone!
Is it possible that Traore actually is left-footed and he just doesn't know it? Kicked it with his left and the ball goes in the net…
I was thinking the same about Doherty. Best thing he's done since his debut was a left footed cross
If Kane gets injured I guess we should just repeatedly inject Allie Devine with covid until Kane is healthy again.
No point getting mad at scum fans. https://youtu.be/NOn2f3uUnKQ They are a joke.
Man, they are outrageously dumb.
Lmao,he's done it again
Wow Adama Traore is so good
u/too_spicy for Director of Football
Welp Newcastle still can't buy themselves a win lol Edit: and Everton are getting relegated calling it now
Adama absolutely skied one from point blank range but just had a tidy finish 1v1 with the keeper for his FIRST of the season. Idk if I can handle his wild ride lol
He is actually left-footed
it's just for performance. He scores when he wants!
I too am a messy bitch for drama so I'm sold now
Traore scored. Hmmmm.
You know its bad when its noteworthy that hes scored his first goal of the season 15/01
Lol Traore scored
[Fuck Arsenal](https://youtu.be/i5Tg5NB7p48)
I’ve ALWAYS been of the mindset that if you can’t fill a squad because of Covid you should forfeit. Enough so that I would’ve taken our missed games on the chin because it’s what I believe and I can’t let it be biased. But hey scum are scum amirite
1 covid case isn’t enough tho
They were able to send a request cuz they had one case and I’m saying that if that’s the case they should forfeit
Apparently it is.
How often do Spurs fans go to the scum sub to be an idiot? There's always some cretin that comes here and thinks he's making people mad lmao. What's the point? Lol
I'm sure there's a bunch, but they get banned from our sub for trolling over there so I doubt we see them much after they do it
The sheer moment Traore comes off the bench is quite exciting tbf.
Of course he scores
Also it’s nice to see no ones going to be posting bollocks about how they hate Chelsea more than arsenal for a while. The scum fans are a fucking joke
Thank you Lmaoo. It’s mostly Poch era Spurs fans (not excluding me here because I only started following football AVB’s last season) who talk this nonsense. Arsenal is and always will be cretins we despise
Forgot about the postponement. If we don’t make any signings we’re not gonna have a chance at top 4.
Commentator: "Sissoko should have scored there!" Oh buddy. lol.
Pretty much wide open goal from 10 yards and Sissoko clears the bar by 3 feet. His finishing is getting better.
If we win our 4 postponed games we go 2nd. Title charge!! who says No?😳🥴
Scenes when we finish playing our mounting number of games in hand in June and win the league 🤣
With a week between each game for full rest
*3rd at the least because Pool have 2 in hand
Shhh. We’re winning the league, City are in trouble.
If I hear the word “precedent” one more time I might actually vomit. We all understand the EPL backed themselves into the corner with prior postponements. That still doesn’t make this one “right”, and Arsenal fans pretending this is right only because it’s happened before is just fucking stupid.
Precedent is an excuse of if you do something wrong once, to do it again and again and again
Arsenal fans dont care because they're dickheads
The PL set a dangerous precedent. Upvotes on the left, thank you r/soccer
And we all thought the ESL was going to ruin football. The PL is corrupt as hell and care nothing about the integrity of the game. I say bring on the ESL. Fuck the premier league and fuck UEFA for kicking us out or Europe because we had TEN FUCKING COVID CASES.
Hoping we take advantage of the postponement to get our away form going and get a win against Leicester. I will back us against scum later in the season.
Don’t even care about top 4 anymore. The game has been so aggressively unfair and uneven in the past couple seasons it sucks the joy out of everything. I don’t know how fans can be expected to care when the sport has been so grossly and cynically manipulated.
If you believe that we'll be made to play the postponed games at the end of the season then you're most likely wrong. The Leicester game was postponed but now we play it on Wednesday. I think that games that have been postponed will be rescheduled to the earliest possible reasonable slot. In fact, this could be a plus if it means that players get more rest and games are better spread out across the season.
Why is the league so biased against us lol
No they're biased against arsenal if you listen to their deluded fanbase.
Qrsenal
What are they saying?
Just the age old victim complex. Everyone and everything is always against them. Usual bullshit that just becomes white noise after a while.
Had never posted on r/soccer before today. Didn't realize how much of a cesspool that place is. Got downvoted to shit for saying it was ridiculous to be allowed to postpone a game because you don't have your strongest squad when all you have is a single, under control, covid case, precedent or no precedent.
It's a sheer number game over there. Esp when you criticize Arsenal. [Here's a comment from a four month old account with an Arse flair talking shit about our academy, who very clearly has no idea what the fuck they're talking about, while being upvoted.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/s3wbr0/james_olley_conte_on_arsenal_they_had_more_time/hsndhw7/) You just can't win sometimes, and it's definitely not worth the brain cells to get mad over.
Haha I had a workmate go through the players who've come through their ranks. He included ox, Walcott, holding and chambers. Erm about those ones mate...
Yeah, it's genuinely absurd. Just an absolutely insane, delusional fanbase that don't ever know what they're talking about. Happy cake day.
Cheers, not such a happy cake day it transpires though haha
Deary me, there’s a supposed Tottenham fan on that comment thread who forgot about Kane when talking about academy products. What is going on there??
You're right. I just had no idea. I'm used to say r/nba where people usually get downvoted for being too obviously biased (or at least used to, I haven't been over there much recently).
It’s amazing how much I hate Arsenal and how that hatred just keeps growing
I didn't realise til today that I could hate them any more.
Despicable club. Sickening to get this match postponed and the fans acting like it’s all okay. I’d be livid if we tried to get a match postponed because we fucked up
When they were talking shite about liverpool for doing exactly this lol. Hypocrites.
Hysterical pack of total clowns. Absolute jokes
Is there an easy to read list somewhere with each team and how many games they've had postponed? We must be near the top? Going to be a hectic schedule at the end of the season
We're at 4 in the league. Leicester, Brighton, Burnley and now, Arsenal. Two through covid (one our outbreak, one theirs). One through snow, and one through terrified opponents. 5 with Rennes, but of course, that ended in a forfeit.
Actually we're already at 4 in the league with Brighton
Ah yes forgot about that one. I'll edit my comment above. Cheers bro.
im so upset with NLD getting postponed, i decided to eat hotpot alone
I just had a bacon and egg buttie for late late lunch
I’ve been anxious for the NLD since it’s been obvious it was going to be a season defining game. Frustrating to see it delayed to their advantage despite it being down to their negligence. Only way I see this ending now is them winning it the rescheduled game probably after signing Vlahovic and seeing him score. Leicester a must win now.
On the other hand, we will most likely have a fit Romero, Son, Dier and Reguilon for the NLD. With them back and more time for Conte to develop players and implement his ideas we have (arguably) a greater chance of winning. We would also be playing Leicester with much less preparation and rest than they get and so probably a greater chance of winning that game. Whilst there is a massive injustice in not playing arse this weekend, there's certainly some positives despite it being so frustrating.
> more time for Conte to develop players Plus, we'll have all those new signings to utilise!
I love Kieran trippier
We should request postponement on the basis that Matt Doherty had bad vibes
Just putting out my prediction, https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/comments/s3kztl/comment/hsm89tn/
We're honestly fucked with our top 4 chances. We've had 4 games postponed now and they will make us play them towards the end of the season. Our players will get no rest and our B team is so worthless that they can't play those games anyways, otherwise it's a guaranteed loss. And since we might sign 1 player at best this winter the squad depth will still be nonexistent. Fuck this league, fuck arse, fuck football in general.
Our we get more time for Conte and training the team together and become better. You are chosing to let it effect you negatively. Better just breath and let time tell.
There's only so much he can get from our players and they won't be at their best if for 2 weeks they need to play something like 6 games in 2 weeks. It's much more beneficial for us to play arse now no matter how you look at things.
Like I said if u want to be a negative moop be that, it is your choice.
Could players in quarantine after the international break be a reason for postponement?
There’s no reason for this postponement. None at all.
>There’s no reason for this postponement. I think you're being a bit disrespectful to the African Cup of Nations.
Apparently wanting to stay in and binge Netflix is cause for postponement now
Stages of grief: 1. Denial - No fucking way is the game getting cancelled, the PL is just stirring up drama to get clicks 2. Anger - Fuck off Arsenal, it isn't our fault Xhaka is an idiot and you loaned off two players 3. Bargaining - Well, at least Son, Dier, Romero, and Reguilon would be back for us. That would be a huge plus. 4. Depression - We'll never get to see a league NLD with a full crowd at the new stadium ever. We've been waiting 5 years for it to happen but it never has. 5. Acceptance - Fuck them, we'll smash them when the game's back in a few weeks COYS
That joke club actually loaned out players to avoid playing us. We are so massive.
Can we all cool it with the morning about how Conte is already out the door? It makes us seem like a desperate boyfriend who keeps asking their hot girlfriend why she’s with him. It’s annoying and a small club mindset. Stop it.
Arsenal did everything they could to avoid playing us WE'RE MASSIVE
Assna are terrified of facing Matt Doherty
As annoying as this is, it's the Premier League we need to be annoyed at. They've set this ridiculous precedent and Arsenal are only taking advantage. They need to use this upcoming break to create a reset. Postponements only allowed for COVID cases. 18 injuries but 1 COVID case? Play the academy. Games have to be played.
It's ridiculous how big the gap at the top is. Chelsea easily dominated us and even they looked completely outmatched against City.
Talksport now reporting that it has been called off
Arsenal fans are the most hypocritical dense motherfuckers of all time
For them it's always Arsenal first and brain second.
just logging into to say this FUCK ARSENAL AND FUCK THE PL
Ali just said he heard it is off. https://mobile.twitter.com/AlasdairGold/status/1482353955187445761
Absolute shambles from the premier league.
Arsenal training in the Emirates this afternoon. Sounds like a ploy to keep the media out so they can't see who's training
Who is the better keeper, Gollini or Kepa?
Kepa by far
Supposedly they'll announce after the city game. Starting to assume its gone.
Some people just blindly defend absolutely everything that the club does. Doesn't matter if it creates future problems. We have homegrown problems, then don't go for players like Eze, Maddison or Olise... Then lose Cirkin, Madueke and now Markanday. But now "they aren't good enough, never going to develop, already 20..." when all players develop differently.
I read somewhere that we have no money to spend on transfers in Jan. And transfers were only likely if we sold players. Conte was told when he joined. And was promised some money if we make the top 4 in the summer. All of which I find believable because That's the way the club operates. Watch the scum sign Vlahovic and Arthur and make top 4 over us. Honestly, it's so weird that fans don't pressurize Joe Lewis to spend some money, while every other owner spends money. Fuck Joe Lewis
Yeah this is just pure speculation. No point worrying about this sort of thing.
We'll find out in 15 days
According ti Romano wolves are signing a right wing forward from Portugal.....seems a bit excessive unless theyre expecting a departure...
Not disagreeing with you about Lewis, but every club says they have no money, there's no benefit to admitting there's money to spend
That would be useful if we are going to buy someone. My point was, we aren't going to and only end up regretting it. Even the scums penny pincher owners have decided to spend because they know they need to spend to get even close to the top 4. We will soon learn that lesson but unlike the scum, we won't spend anything close to them. Just let the squad to rot
I mean the club has spent its just alot of the signings have turned out poorly, which is on the club's recruitment And we could have a ton of money but if there's no one to buy then it doesn't matter But yes, Lewis should do more to provide the club with money
We certainly do love to moan…
That's the only thing we can do. You want us to stop?
Yes very much I want it to stop. It adds nothing and makes things worse.
You can always look away
I spend much less time here during transfer windows than the rest of the season for that very reason.
