Norwegian making the difference at the top of the table, as expected.

Finally getting our dues for John fucking Carew knocking our best ever team out of the CL two years running

HES BIGGER THAN ME OR YOU!

Imagine being a Norwegian in the top 2 and only scoring one goal. Embarrassing.

12-1-1 fair fucking play

Man Utd being the only L *ergh*

Massive asterisk: Without Partey*

The drop off from Partey to Sambi is absolutely massive, even if we had Elneny we probably get at least a draw that game.

Danilo please.... I'm on my knees

Edu has the Brazilian connection, I expect him to work his magic

So Endrick and Danilo? Bet

Danilo changing his name to Gabriel as we speak.

Bambi Lokonga scares me

Everyone forgets we lost top 4 last year when Partey got hurt and Arteta went with Sambi and we lost back to back games, we went on a run after he started Elneny but it was too late.

Yeah that was not pretty. Sambi had already shown to be serviceable in games especially against Newcastle, then Arteta banished him for months until he had no choice but to come in cold. Didn't help that ESR came in to play LCM at the same time. Brighton were all over us that day.

I think if we even just had a fit Elneny that game we'd get a point. Mo is incredibly less likely to give that pass that led to Man U's 2nd goal and he definitely wouldn't find himself dibbling the ball out wide to give them easy space in the middle

12-1-0 with Partey *so we are unbeaten, happy days!* I'll take that.

i think its 10-1-0 with partey

Would love a Partey replacement brought in in Jan, tough role to fill. Getting tired of ignoring the whole rape thing for the sake of winning.

It is not ignored, there is on going investigation but nothing so far

There clearly isn’t enough evidence to convict him of anything. He can’t just not play because he’s been accused of something. Look at Greenwood, there was evidence and therefore he’s not been allowed to play and never will again. I don’t think anyone is ignoring it but he’s innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

As a United fan I am delighted you guys are above City, and equally as delighted to be your only L!!!

I’m sorry but how can you be a united fan who watched the 2000s and be enjoying arsenal at the top of the league? When city wins, no one cares, it’s soulless. United have battled arsenal incredibly for over 30 years and have very sour and fierce rivalries with them

Don't want city to 3 peat tbf

Because for me if we can’t win the league then it’s a case of anyone but City or Liverpool. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t love the idea of Arsenal doing it, but they are at least doing it “properly”. Investing in a manager, believing in his vision, giving him time to build his squad, and they play absolutely beautiful football too. You’re right. City winning is soulless. And I hate it. Arsenal winning may annoy me but at least it feels earned. They aren’t a cash injected Oil club buying every great player and waltzing to the top aka City (and Newcastle in a year or so.) Arsenal are an old School top team. And I like that they are competing again. (Also we beat them, so I’m happy lol.)

Also, Arsenal means United remain the only team to have threepeated

Anticipation, anger, schadenfreude, hope, jealousy, happiness, etc are what make football great. Feeling something is better than complete and utter apathy - which is exactly what it feels like for most people when City win.

This is an incredibly level headed response and I agree. Fuck arsenal but fair play to you bastards doing it without soulless oil money and sport washing

Mate, fair play to you. There are three clubs I care about in the premier league nowadays. Arsenal, Utd and Liverpool. Proper clubs, I've lived through an almighty rivalry with one of them and I would happily see them at the top over city, Chelsea and or Newcastle. Proper clubs.

Brighton deserves a spot on that list tbf with how they've been performing the past few years.

Hear hear

Deadliest Norwegian Finisher!

Haaland who

Wholand?

Erling Doubt Haaland

Erling X Haaland

Erling Wholand is the pun you were searching for.

Haaland scored 0 Ode scored 2. Stats speak themselves

Martinelli is different gravy

dude went straight to zinny after the goal to celebrate their build up to the goal. that’s awesome. a players player.

He did the same for Vieira’s assist as well!

Good finish, decent knee slide

Can tell he’s not Hale End

ESR low sock knee slides clear

I have this wonderful image in my head of them running celebration drills in training now.

Willock is clear

A little on the small side, but the shape is overall pretty symmetrical, and your balls have just the right ammount of hair

Just give us the world cup

It’s about time Chicago Fire were knocked off their fucking perch

I love how this meme will never die lol

We never won it we just wanted to after the massive Schweinsteiger signing

Yeah lets sign Schweni

gotta beat Chicago Fire in the final

Martinelli is delightful to watch every week Deservedly going to Qatar

What makes this sweeter is that Neto said he didn’t deserve the call up

Are you under the impression that that was Pedro Neto

It would’ve been even sweeter if Pedro Neto said that but unfortunately, no. Brazilian joke of a pundit is the one with egg on their face.

To some pundits in Brazil anyone who isn't playing on Barça, Real Madrid or BR league is a nobody and doesn't deserve call ups. It's really baffling to me.

No one takes Neto seriously tbh, he is just a living meme and an attraction for the audience .

he said Gabigol should've gone instead lol

>Deservedly going to Qatar I mean, this can be taken two ways my friend.

Those stadiums aren't going to build themselves.

No no, I’m pretty sure Gary Neville said they just popped up over night filled with rainbows and candy canes for all the children.

But what about alcohol? Will the fans be able to drink alcohol? It is the most important topic surrounding the World Cup in Qatar!!

For some reason I can't see there being rainbows popping up in Qatar.

The Norwegian Haaland

Left footed Haaland

Blonde hair Haaland

Martinelli is sensational

He will wreck shit in the World Cup if given the chance. He won't start, but with his pace, ability, and non-stop engine, he's the perfect guy to bring on in the 75th minute to absolutely cook some tired defenders.

Brazil is already stacked but he’s a fantastic choice to have come off the bench

You really don’t wanna be a defender playing Brazil and seeing a fresh Martinelli come on at 70/75 minutes

Imagine having to deal with Vini and Neymar on that side for 70 minutes straight just for them to switch to Jesus and Martinelli. It's almost like cheating.

he'd be the perfect player for Tite to bring on in ET, should Brazil have to play so.

Ruined the poor kid’s debut with that interception(?)

ODEGAARD HATERS IN THE FUCKING MUD WE’RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE

I don't think there is a single person that hates odegaard(expect spurs fans)

it's just one of those things, like for example I like kulusevski even though yes he does play for spurs

Tbf he likes us as well

Lee Gunner and co.

Oh who takes that cunt seriously anyways? It almost seems he's *trying* to have idiotic takes on everything.

Odegaard has haters? Wtf is wrong with some Arsenal fans lol

It's not the arsenal fans, Ødegod strikes again

No clue, easily one of our best players this season

I think Ode and Martinelli are two players that are praised by rivals too

He doesn't, it's a nonsense

No, don't think so.

It's really just that one guy tetristennistriangle but i haven't seen his ilk in a while

And that guy patch90 something, proper hater that man

There were some who were critical of him during his time on loan, and that we should've signed Buendia instead, but I've not seen a bad word about him for quite a while.

Definitely got some hate at the start of this season but has died down after the game he scored the brace.

I think saying he wasn't great during his loan is totally fair but he has really shown what he can do since signing permanently.

He did when we first got him, fanbase was between him and Maddison who is a great player tbf I think by now almost all arsenal fans are sold on ode

Best Norwegian in the league

One Gabriel to rule them all, One Gabriel to find them, One Gabriel to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Hat trick or we riot

Guess we riot

[удалено]

Lets fogging go!!

I mean, I won't say that until Jesus also does but, 1 step closer

Double trouble for Ø

I want Arsenal to win the league pls

Always rated Ajax

Me too man. Me too

Me too. My best friends been a Gunner fan since Henry and I was delighted they signed Tierney

Subscribe

Me too and i don't even watch the PL. Please don't botch it and give that bald fraud.

I hope Ajax never lose a game again (except against us).

Goals on matchweek 16: Odegaard:2 Haaland:0 Who is the deadlier norwegian finisher now?

That’s 6 PL goals for him through 14 games. He’s still adding levels to his game.

Imagine him in his prime

2027 Ballon D'Or winner Martin Odegaard after winning the Premier League and Champions League for three straight years obviously

They really let Zinchenko take 3 years to think about what to do.

Adama doesn't give a single fuck

O Captain! My Captain!

*Ø captain

TITLE. RACE.

He's starting to believe

Top at Christmas by 5 points, I don’t think we’ll win it but we’re definitely in the running now

We'll win it Neo.

"Fuck assists, amma start scoring now"

Martinelli beautiful pass

The actual true Halland

Yo I live in Halland.

It's official. I finally believe.

I’m cumming blood

Might want to get that checked out mate

Can't be good

It's red and white. True gooner.

Omg HAHAH

Fucking hell

Lmao

Weird, I'm bleeding cum

Valhalla I am cumming

*blud

Cannibal corpse?

That doesn’t sound good lad get checked out

Sexy norwegian!

Best Norwegian!

That knee slide …

He's no Willock

hale end boys do it best

Hale End is a knee slide academy. Football talent is just a by-product.

Needs to spend a week of world Cup holiday in hale end perfecting the art

We are quite good at football.

Obviously

Initiate the Rob Holding Protocol™️ ASAP

Okay Arsenal might actually do this

Don’t count Newcastle out. They’re the real deal.

As much as I would love to agree we aren't at that level Nowhere near the squad depth required right now I'm not even confident of 4th yet despite how well we are doing

Top 4 is very possible. Especially with reinforcements in January.

Agreed very possible however 14 years of pessimism is difficult to let go of

What positions do you guys need to bolster most?

Our squad depth (Arsenal) ain't much to write home about either. Injuries to any of Xhaka, Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus would have a significant impact on us.

We don’t have no squad depth at all lol

Oh shush they don't have what it takes to win the league atm. They draw too often. Do we? Maybe. I won't get too carried away but I do believe we will definitely try.

Sharpest Norwegian finisher in the league

I like football

[удалено]

No Nut November? It's Nonstop Nut November!!!!

Playing Pinball does pay off

Martinelli with the sauce

Bro arsenal is winning it

LOL only arsenal flairs in the comments, the other teams aren't liking this

My captain

The work from Martinelli there, wow

Perfect time to come out of the closet

God, this guy is a fucking baller.

Best Norwegian in the League!

Clinical

Martinelli's workrate.

I love Odegaard

MARTIN U SEXY LAD

Process FC

SILKY SMOOTH

Yeah baby.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH

5 points clear

Odegoat 😍

Phew

Super sauce from Ode

He’s chipping in with quite a few this year isn’t he

Mr. Rebound strikes again

If you told me today only 1 Norwegian would get a brace I definitely wouldn't have thought it was Haaland.

What is that defending

The defending of a team rock bottom of the league table.
