Arsenal FC | 2023/24 Season

[MK7Z]

Arsenal are top with 10 games to go.

Crunch time.

Arteta deserves lots of credit for putting us in a title race 2 years in a row. BUT now is the time to win it!
We don't wanna be bridesmaids like klopps pool in the PL.

First need to deal with Porto. Have a break and go again.

Arsene Wenger said last season that if Arsenal don't win the league it will help them deal with the same situation the next time

Time will tell, I for one am grateful for being in the conversation after years of being nowhere but that isn't enough. I want that PL!

As daft as it sounds and I'm not a fan of the phrase.. But it's all in our hands. However football doesn't work like that. Points will be dropped from now until the next game it's whether the contenders will take advantage.

Exciting for the neutral I bet.

 

[topspin]

The title in bag, is probably the biggest slap in face any PP has taken in history of this forum.

So much so they cudnt even make a prediction this season as they were scared of being humilated again.

Imagine making loads of statements about Arteta will do this, Zinchenko will do that, havertz is better than beckbauer.. so on and so forth and at end of you run off and hide on another forum.

Zero facts and wild statements, then getting rattled because your being ignored

"I own this space and no one can match my intellect" is the latest one. I'll keep you posted on his latest gems.

How many points do you think will be required to win this season's title? I'm going for 90.

 

[MK7Z]

How many points do you think will be required to win this season's title? I'm going for 90.

Ye 90 would do it most seasons. Such is the level of Man City. If Arsenal get 90 or there abouts and don't win then you just gotta step back and give credit where credit is due.
90 points would mean arsenal draw 1 and lose 1 in next 10 games I think.

Considering we are on a 8 match winning run, it'd mean we'd have to have got 50 out of a possible 54 points. Wow this league is tough!!

The maximum points that Arsenal can achieve is 94.

So if 90 points is the winning total required to win the PL, they can only afford 2 x draws or 1 x defeat from their winless games.

This is why I’m with AJ on this one and can’t see us pulling it off when we still have to go away to City, Spurs, Man U and Brighton. But if I’m proven wrong, I’d more than delighted.

That happens every day for you and AJ so it shouldn’t be a delight.

 

[Mamoon]

"I own this space and no one can match my intellect" is the latest one. I'll keep you posted on his latest gems.

Which is a fact considering that I was the only Arsenal fan who had the vision to know that Arteta is the right man for Arsenal and that Havertz will do well.

Learn from me, educate and enlighten yourself while I’m still around.

 

[Mamoon]

Arsenal’s faith is in their hands now but at the same time, they also have the toughest fixtures.

What I want is for them to have a real go at it by not losing at City or at least not get rinsed like in previous seasons and win at least 7 of the remaining games and whatever happens, happens.

If Arsenal fall short by a whisker, you have to look at the summer window and identify the gaps that can be plugged and you have to back and support Arteta to apply the finishing touches in the next couple of windows and take this team to the next level.

He has already owned his critics and has already done better than they thought he was capable of. They thought Arsenal would never be more than a top 4 contender on his watch and I have bookmarked those posts and they will be bumped in due time.

The toxic ignoramuses will be exposed and called out.

Arteta is the only reason Arsenal fans are now dreaming of winning the league. He raised the standards and he brought back the ambition after years and years of decay and compromised standards and small ambitions.

The best young manager in the world and the powerful European clubs would make a beeline for him today if he was available.

 

[Amjid Javed]

All 3 teams have to play Spurs and Villa

Also the big city vs Arsenal clash.

Arsenal have the toughest fixtures left, I said this at start of season having so many tough away games in final 9 fixtures would not be easy.

Either Liverpool or Arsenal need to have a good points buffer over City going into last 5 or 6 games, as once City have played spurs they don't have any tough games left.

Arsenal are going to have to win the vast majority of their away games at Brighton, United, spurs and eithad.

If they do that they deserve the title.

Pressure is only going to get cranked up even more now.

I think just 87-88 points will win the title, so just the 90 point mark.

Ye on paper and on form we should beat Brighton and United but OT especially has been such a downer for us in recent times. We should wipe the floor with them, but never do!

Spurs and City are completely different. Spurs will do everything they can and will also be in a top 4 race.

Lost count how many times we have shot ourselves in the foot with below performances at OT, whilst other teams have gone and won. Spurs game will be their cup final, they won't want to be hulimated at home like in 1971 and 2024 when Arsenal won title there.

Most consecutive wins at the end of a season is 14

Man city did that in 18/19 winning their last 14 games.

Arsenal in 01/02 - won 13 in a row, won 15 out of last 16, drawing to Southampton. That Arsenal team won a double and won league at OT 2nd to last game of season, then played Everton last game of season. I was lucky enough to see us win title at OT and also go to the FA Cup final vs Chelsea in cardiff that season.

Arsenal have same last 2 fixtures again.

We already know city and Liverpool can blow for blow in last 10 games of a season, time for Arsenal to show they can as well.

 

[Amjid Javed]

"I own this space and no one can match my intellect" is the latest one. I'll keep you posted on his latest gems.

The fact he didn't even make a Arsenal position prediction this season shows how badly he was humiliated last season.

Oh Arsenal will finish top 2, Liverpool will not be in title race etc

Now I've been told he has no faith in getting anything at eithad. Imagine being a cheerleader and your team has won 8 games in a row and your response is

I hope we put a decent showing at eithad, also has zero faith in his team winning title. Supposedly Arteta is best young manager in world, yet the fraud has no confidence in saying Arsenal will win title from this point this season.

This is why he will continue to be ignore because all the chest beating, he's goal zero faith in Arsensl winning league this season.

But if they did, he would suddenly make out as though that's what he predicted.

 

[PakLFC]

This title run in can be so close that in case it goes to goal difference I have already got my calculator out. Being Pak cricket fans we're used to this as it is!! Well, seeing Arsenal are level with us on points yet ahead on goal difference I'd want Man City to defeat them. This means we'll win the EPL if we win all our matches from here on I don't see Arsenal winning at the Etihad. We need to improve our goal difference in case i comes down to it.

 

[shaz619]

Arsenal have looked good, fair play. Is this the season or will it be squeaky bum time; we’re certainly in that phase now and Arsenal are not trembling at the moment @Amjid Javed

 

[PakLFC]

Arsenal are playing some great stuff no doubt about it. The fluency is there as is the confidence to score plenty of goals. I would make them favourites if they can win at the Etihad even though they still have to visit Man Utd and Spurs. Arsenal are in much better form then City are at the moment. The Spurs will not make it easy for them neither will Everton do us any favours when we go there.

People are making out as though City's form has been horrendous currently.

This year

Arsenal won 8 out 8
City won 7 drawn 2
Liverpool won 7 drawn 1 lost 1

Just because City and Liverpool haven't looked flashy like Arsenal doesn't mean they aren't getting job done. Liverpool and City have the been their and done that know how, that Arsenal haven't.

That's why I ain't getting carried away. Huge mountain still for Arsenal to climb.

@shaz619 - the above should answer your question as well.

OT has been our bogey ground for years even during Man U's struggles in the post-Fergie era. Brighton in recent years has been our bogey team (in general) so that's another one we have to put right.

No doubt that the away games to City and Spurs will be very tough and will possibly determine Arsenal's fate in the title race this season.

That is why I said that City should defeat Arsenal at home. Arsenal in my opinion also have a tougher run in going to Man Utd and Spurs too as well as playing Chelsea at home.. Although they defeated Liverpool at home other then that have not done so any other top side recently.

So you can relax Arsenal ain't winning the EPL or ECL for that matter!!

When did I say Arsenal are winning the CL or PL?

I said back at start of season Arsenal wudnt win title due to last 9 fixtures they had, so now your trying to act like a know it all stating something I said months ago.

Arsenal beat Man city at home, so Arsenal not beating a top side recently makes no sense.

 

[Amjid Javed]

As you said yourself, just an attention seeker who's only interested in doing his validation exercise.

If your response to the City game is "I hope we put up a decent showing, don't get hammered like last few seasons"

That's statement tells you he has no faith in team getting anything out of the game, no faith in team or the manager.

But if Arsenal beat City the response will be "oh you clown, fraud Arteta beat Pep, all you toxic Arteta haters were wrong"

The irony is je cannot put his neck on line to back the team or manager in this situation, but afterwards will try and mock others for not believing.

It's fence sitting because he's scared of being humilated. Il beat my chest, but il put a caviet post out just to cover my back.

Exactly that. It just goes to show that he doesn't really believe in his team.

Also remember when he said on at least two occasions, "it doesn't matter if the signing of Havertz doesn't work out for Arsenal", which again is a reflection of him sitting on the fence to cover his back and his lack of conviction in general.

Along with his embarrassing takes, it's his toxic traits and insincerity that make him unbearable.

Not so long ago, I produced a shortlist for CFs, which Arsenal should have their eyes on in the summer. The next day he comes up with an unprovoked pot shot, "those with zero ball knowledge coming up with shortlists". If you're such a man of unmatchable intellect, debate me like a man and tell me what's wrong with my list and who you would rather have on there instead. MK7Z, to his credit, asked him to come up with own his list but as expected bottled it. A few days ago, he said "let's start by going all out for Osimhen first". A name who was part of my shortlist.

The same thing happened regarding Martinelli during the weekend. MK7Z wasn't entertaining it and put him right on the spot when he asked:

So who is an upgrade on Martinelli please? You sticking to Mitoma? How has it been going for him recently?

The imposter's response:

If you are asking for players who haven't yet been discovered properly then that is the job of Arteta and Edu - I don't get paid millions by the club to scout players. I'm certain there will be plenty of untapped talent in Europe and South America that the scouts should be looking at because Martinelli is not really a benchmark on the left wing. He is no Mbappe, Vinicius or Neymar

Pretty much exposes his anti-Martinelli agenda.

He has the nerve to compares fans on here to AFTV but I have no doubt he would be the most fitting character on that show.

 

[ads101]

Difference between Arsenal and Liverpool and Man city as those teams have won things. Premier league, Champions League. Arsenal just aren't used to winning, and that's a difficult thing to get over. Think that alone cost the title last season, and even this season perhaps. They just don't have that grit or will to win. And the fact that they're a young side, makes this issue even worse.

Last season was a bottlejob sadly with Arsenal leading the entire season pretty much. I think it was a record in terms of most time at the top and not winning. You don't get many shots like this, as evidenced by this season, Liverpool and Man City are just better this season.

This season, I don't think at any point Arsenal were favourites to win. From the list of fixtures, Arsenal is probably predicted 3rd from here. I think we'll squeeze to 2nd though. This doesn't really even feel like a proper shot at winning honestly. It actually kind of just feels preparation for the next season, having now finally having everything working, and hopefully not losing a crucial piece like Xhaka (and Partey simultaneously) that forced a rebuild and style shift.

I think Arteta has done an excellent job so far in the premier league, and is the 2nd best young manager after Xabi Alonso who winning in Germany is basically a miracle he is pulling off. Yes he took time to get good, but its rather understandable given his age/first head coaching job. Biggest disappointment is how Arsenal have done in Europe. I think a Europa league or even a good champions league finish could instil that winning mentality into the team.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Please do not engage in a personal conflict. Keep this thread going on with a healthy discussion. Thanks

 

[MK7Z]

Big for Arsenal today. Need to get through to the next round else it'll be a major disappointment. His record is poor in KOs and its a chance to improve it.

Last years exit was bad but if you put context on to it, it was via a penalty shootout after Ramsdale got lobbed from miles out. Same game I believe Tomiyasu and Saliba went off injured and didnt play the rest of the season. Was a disaster in more ways than one

He got the tactics wrong in the 1st leg then to. I think we are better suited for this game today. Gabriel Jesus has to come in just because of his CL record. He is a monster. With Martinelli being out i think he may play on the wing. The rest of the team should pick itself but I wont be surprised if the cry baby plays as Porto will play a low block.

 

[WengerOut]

At the moment i am concerned about the games against lesser sides. Arsenal have been suprisingly good against big teams. Against low blocks, might need a clinical striker.

 

[topspin]

No Martinelli.

Havertz starts upfront.

A quick start and an early goal is a must, cant afford the lethargic effort from 1st leg. An early goal will mean Porto will have to open up a little, that will help Arsenal.

We know porto will partake in the dark arts, so I hope non of fan base whinge about as most European sides will do it. Brentford gave Arsensl perfect prep for tonight game.

Plenty of big sides waiting in next round. So an exit tonight can't be tolerated, we should be hammering Porto tonight.

 

[Amjid Javed]

No Martinelli.

Havertz starts upfront.

I think Martinelli might be out for a while as he was on crutches.

 

[topspin]

I think Martinelli might be out for a while as he was on crutches.

I think so as well.

Would you’ve liked to have seen Trossard or Jesus on the left hand side?

Big night for Havertz upfront.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So once again some of this fan base show why this Club has such a loser and weak mentality, the bigger fish to fry nonsense again. From the bbc

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think so as well.

Would you’ve liked to have seen Trossard or Jesus on the left hand side?

Big night for Havertz upfront.

Trossard out wide is fine. We need to create as much width as possible and try and pull Porto players out of position tonight.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Very cagey game so far, team performance very nervous and edgy so far.

 

[Rana]

Can’t see where this goal is coming from for Arsenal

 

[Rajdeep]

Porto is intentionally slowing the game down

 

[Rana]

I was just about to write that I am not happy with Trossard starting because I think he is a great impact substitute, but he ends up scoring a brilliant goal

 

[Rajdeep]

Goal.

Now game over for Porto

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good finish from Trossard 1-0

 

[Amjid Javed]

I was just about to write that I am not happy with Trossard starting because I think he is a great impact substitute, but he ends up scoring a brilliant goal

Quality finish. Porto will keep playing same way and will look to drag this into extra time.

 

[topspin]

Can’t see where this goal is coming from for Arsenal

I was about to say the same. Arsenal have been getting physically bullied by Porto but thank God for that goal.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Porto is intentionally slowing the game down

Thar shouldn't be a shock all experience CL teams use such tricks.

 

[Amjid Javed]

If we get a 2nd goal it's probably coming from a set piece

 

[Rana]

Great match

Proper Champions League football

 

[Amjid Javed]

FT 1-0

Extra time it is and possibly penalties

 

[Rajdeep]

Who will be better placed if it goes to penalties?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Who will be better placed if it goes to penalties?

Porto keeper has a better penalty saving record in his career so far compared to Raya

 

[Rana]

if this referee officiated a boxing match, one of the two boxers would go on to cause brain damage to the other

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sloppy from kiwor and he got away with that

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nketiah and Crychenko are on for Trossard and Kiwior

 

[Rana]

Weird weird referee

Let’s all the fouls go but calls clear tackles as fouls

 

[MK7Z]

We just don't get on with Europe do we. Pens. Have a feeling going to be same as last year.

Porto such an ackward team. Needed Saka to turn up with no Martinelli but he was poor.

Let's see if we can scrape thru pens. I'll take any which way.

 

[Rajdeep]

Arsenal in quarters...congrats to all Arsenal fans

 

[MK7Z]

And breathe!!!!!!

 

[IMMY69]

COYG

I'll take this.
Ref let too many fouls go... Saka had a quiet night...
But we're through to the Quarters, and that's all that matters

 

[topspin]

Finally after 14 years, we've made it through to the QFs.

Brilliant assist from Odegaard to set up Trossard for that goal in the first half. Porto actually played better in this game than they did in the first leg.

I was not happy with Raya after his mistake that resulted in Porto's goal, at the end of the first leg, but boy did he redeem himself. Brilliant penalty keeper. Arsenal's pens were top notch as well.

I still think we have a better chance of winning the CL than securing the title. I hope we don't face Inter or Atletico. These low blocks are so difficult to break down.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good win and dortmund or Barca in next round would be good

I think Arteta has done an excellent job so far in the premier league, and is the 2nd best young manager after Xabi Alonso who winning in Germany is basically a miracle he is pulling off. Yes he took time to get good, but its rather understandable given his age/first head coaching job. Biggest disappointment is how Arsenal have done in Europe. I think a Europa league or even a good champions league finish could instil that winning mentality into the team.

As I wrote earlier, it is not correct to compare the two at this point because they are operating on completely different levels in terms of managing expectations and the environment that they are operating in.

Leverkusen is a mid-tier club that has never won the Bundesliga in its history and you don’t see its fans rioting in the streets.

It is a family friendly club with a small stadium and very little expectations and demands. It is a club that has not and will not demand its manager to win the Bundesliga.

Xabi Alonso is overachieving and he doesn’t have an axe on his head, he doesn’t have to deal with the media pressure and a toxic fan base.

Xabi Alonso is a phenomenal manager, but he needs to manage a big club with big expectations before he can be labelled the best young manager in the world.

He hasn’t had to cope with 1% of the pressure that Arteta did or does as Arsenal manager.

 

[Mamoon]

The mentality of this team has come leaps and bounds and all credit goes to the brilliant Arteta.

This win and the last one v Brentford are the type of games that they would have lost last season.

He has made the team tough as nails and it is something that you wouldn’t associate with an Arsenal team that are more known for their soft underbelly than their resilience.

 

[topspin]

Nketiah and Crychenko are on for Trossard and Kiwior

He was shocking when he came on. Made at least 3 blunders and made Arsenal look vulnerable. Not sure why Arteta brought him on when he was never going to be needed for pens.

[Mamoon]

Odegaard humiliating zero ball knowledge fans again. “Arsenal should have signed Maddison because Odegaard is overrated”.

Odegaard is elite. He is world class. Man City would be all over him as a replacement for De Bruyne if Arteta hadn’t transformed Arsenal into title challengers.

He always was and always will be clear of a relegated player like Maddison. Don’t let delusional and ignorant fans fool you.

Mate , he had me fuming. I mean how brain dead do you have to be to try and dribble on the line and risk giving away a corner so late on.

Timber sprinted on in the celebrations so he cant be far. I expect to see him after the break.

Tomiyasu was on the bench but he normally is when its international break and then comes back broken. Same with TP5. Not sure if they are in international squads.

Find it absolutely mental that there are international games, friendlies mainly to that are right before crunch time in the season. I mean who even cares. I am yet to meet a a football fan who is interested in these games.

Could have easily cost Arsenal an exit from the CL.

I hope to see him back in April. We'll need him.

Unacceptable; the DLSR was missing, once again, Arsenal lowering their standards.

Though on a serious note, totally weak mentality on display by celebrating a round of 16 victory as if it were the equivalent winning the UCL title - this too through 50/50 spot kicks.

But congratulations on a UCL R16 win, and no, I would never ignore you, cos you will disappear anyway once Arsenal are out of the UCL, followed by failing to win the greatest football league in the world, EPL.

hes already celebrating with his best young manager nonsense with zero achievements.

Xavi won league with Barca

Alonso is set to win a title with a team that has only won 2 trophies in his entire history.

But he will dismiss both achievements as nothing ,as he enjoys being a mediocrity cheer leader and thinks bottling achievements is greater

 

[Amjid Javed]

Could have easily cost Arsenal an exit from the CL.



I hope to see him back in April. We'll need him.


18-19 days is a long time!

They will probably go back to dubai and work on more stuff, also means the players are fresh for last 10 PL games and CL 1/4 finals.

So there should be no excuses if they fall short.

The mediocrity includes:

• Nicolas Pepe - HoTtEsT aSsEt In EuRoPe
• Babar Azam as captain
• Zinchenko
• Imam-ul-Haq

He's right when he says "no one can match my intellect" because it takes a special kind of intellect to cheerlead for such mediocrity.

Great.

Now we know that Arsenal’s celebrations were OTT. You have pointed out what was wrong but now you also need to teach us the right way.

Please record a video of yourself celebrating the victory and we can share the video with the Arsenal media team.

Teach the Arsenal players how to celebrate since you are critical of they celebrate. Teach them.

Are you going to bottle this like last time?

The irony of this coming from someone who supports Masood, Sharjeel and Imad and claimed that Ødegaard is overrated and Arsenal should have signed Maddison instead.

Beautiful.

This is not Arteta you are talking to.

When did I say Arsenal are winning the CL or PL?

I said back at start of season Arsenal wudnt win title due to last 9 fixtures they had, so now your trying to act like a know it all stating something I said months ago.

Arsenal beat Man city at home, so Arsenal not beating a top side recently makes no sense.

Where did I accuse you off saying anything at all?? I am making a point that Arsenal ain't winning nothing even if you are in the quarters of the ECL. I meant Arsenal have not defeated any top side away from home this season. Try harder.

Bravo so uve come on and attempted to make a weak effort of trolling.

If Arsenal aren't winning anything, then essentially they are irrelevant to you, so why the attention seeking posts?

Arsenal have not any to side away from home this season? Neither have Liverpool or Man city in the Premier league. So what irrelevant nonsense point are you trying to make?

Away games vs current top 5

Arsenal - villa (lost), Liverpool (drew), Man city (not played yet), spurs (not played yet)

Liverpool - villa (not played yet), Arsenal (lost), city (drew), spurs (lost)

Man city - villa (lost), Arsenal (lost), Liverpool (drew), spurs (not yet played).

Man city's and Liverpool away record is just as bad.

Let me guess your next response "but but I meant something else

Get in the bin with your nonsense.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like the other 7 teams in CL will all be hoping they draw dortmund in 1/4 finals of CL.

That’s right. I’m talking to a keyboard warrior who cannot walk the talk.

The last sentence bro. Who is a top side in your opinion? and which of the teams going for the title have won a top side away from home?

Actually scrap that. Who have Liverpool beat away from home. You are going to say Newcastle aren't you? Where are they this season? Yes they beat us but lets not get into how.

How about Man City? Manchester UTD that is all i believe and not sure if you can call them a top side.

Point I am making is away from home Wins are ideal but against direct rivals you have to make sure you don't lose. Arsenal took 4 points from Liverpool this season. 3 points so far from City. However when its as tight as it is, wins away from home are so so Valuable

As @Amjid Javed pointed out. Pool and City are just as bad away from home against the better sides.

Sky Sports

Arsenal defender Ben White has signed a new four-year contract with the club

The 26-year-old joined the Gunners for a fee of £50m in 2021 and is a key part of boss Mikel Arteta's side, playing at right-back and centre-back.

He played in midweek as Arsenal reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 14 years by beating Porto.

"It's great news that Ben is committing his future to the club, Ben is a key player for us," said Arteta.

"He's a top professional with a winning mentality, and one of the guys who leads by example every day.

"Ben's ability, determination and positive attitude are so important, but he is also a great character and human being. We all look forward to continue working with Ben in the coming years."

Since joining from Brighton, White has made 97 Premier League appearances, scoring four goals.

He has played 27 times in the league this season with the Gunners top of the table, above Liverpool on goal difference.

Once more you have not defeated any big team away from home this season, FACT! We are talking about Arsenal here not Liverpool ace. Just wait until City give you a good spanking after the break. We went to City and Chelsea getting a draw so lets see if you can do that. We tanked Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final and still have to visit Old Trafford. You lot still have to visit Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea even Spurs I believe.
