Arsenal FC | 2024/25 Season

[topspin]

I've never had the feeling of winning the UCL so until I do I wouldn't be able to say the same.

What I do believe is the PL is more difficult to win then UCL.

The game against sporting indicates that this Arsenal team has matured and come long away.

I appreciate it’s one game but if you look at all the away games from last season they weren’t very good.

Also with the regression of both City and Madrid, Arsenal have a great chance.

 

[Mamoon]

The top priority should certainly be a Left winger, who is an upgrade on Martinelli and can also cover for Ode as a CAM.

So someone like Musiala.

Musiala would be a dream signing who will take Arsenal to a new level, but unfortunately, it seems like he would end up at City if he leaves Bayern.

Grealish and Bernardo will probably leave and De Bruyne is on his last legs. City will go all out to sign him.

I think Arsenal have a strong chance of signing Wirtz unless Alonso takes him to Madrid.

 

[Amjid Javed]

If we don’t win the league, I think we’re one of the four favourites to win the CL.

I think it’ll be between Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona and Inter.

I don’t see Madrid or City winning it this season.

The way we beat Sporting, who are the same team that demolished City, was brilliant. Arsenal have made a real statement and it shows what they’re capable of doing in Europe this season.

Never foolish enough to write off proven CL teams like Madrid. They never look great in group stages, then turn it on in the knockout stages.

Same goes for City, they can quite easily turn it on in the CL knock outs as well.

Also not sure how Arsenal are one of favourites? Arsenal's European pedigree is embarrassing. One win against a sporting team who were open and gun ho won't change that. Arsenal continually struggle against teams who can defend well in Europe. That was shown vs porto, Bayern last season and inter this season.

Until Arsenal show more bottle in knockout games have killer instinct that won't change.

Sporting are not a European giant and a very open attacking team.

Huge difference when you playing Porto, Bayern, inter etc. Who can actually defend and hurt you at other end.

 

[topspin]

Odegaard is at an age De Bruyne was in 2017, and De Bruyne of 2017 was by not means a significantly better than Odegaard of today.

Between 2018-2023, De Bruyne reached - and sustained - a phenomenal level that made him one of the greatest in PL history, and there is no reason Odegaard cannot do the same between now and 2028-2029.

City would kill to sign him as his replacement but he will not leave Arsenal for anyone let alone City.

I can see it happening. Just one aspect of his game that needs improving is his goal scoring. If he can score 10 games a season that would be great.

 

[topspin]

Musiala would be a dream signing who will take Arsenal to a new level, but unfortunately, it seems like he would end up at City if he leaves Bayern.

Grealish and Bernardo will probably leave and De Bruyne is on his last legs. City will go all out to sign him.

I think Arsenal have a strong chance of signing Wirtz unless Alonso takes him to Madrid.

I think Wirtz is one of the top 5 players in the world.

If Arsenal want him, he will cost at easy 120m. That’s a lot of money to spend on one player.

The way I see it, Mbappe’s signing has disrupted that team.

Prior to this season, Madrid would never have got beaten by Liverpool.

Like City, Real Madrid are not the same this season.

Bro this is just nitpicking.

Sporting have been brilliant this season.

They hadn’t lost a game this season and were undefeated at home for over a year until Arsenal showed up.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nit picking? It was Arsenal 1st away win in CL in 6 games, now all of sudden 1 win and whole of Europe should be worried?

So now 1 performance is a yard stick for favourites

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Odegaard, Saliba, Saka are the star dust of this Arsenal side. Keep them fit, and the Gooners are a match for any team in Europe.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Odegaard, Saliba, Saka are the star dust of this Arsenal side. Keep them fit, and the Gooners are a match for any team in Europe.

West Ham are 14th . One of the worst sides in European top leagues.

Arsenal lose a game , refs & injuries writ off season . Beat WH and title race is back on . Lol

A good win but nothing more , a long way to go .

Man Utd next , another easy win or do you feel Utd can take something ?

I'm confident we can get a draw. Ok the Gooners have hit their straps again, but on our day, we can beat anyone.

 

[MK7Z]

I don't know why he feels the need to try and antagonise Arsenal fans. Maybe it was easy before and nobody responded. It's not my nature. What is my nature is I'm always calm.

It reeks of insecurity. Proper to this season, Liverpool have fallen behind Arsenal in recent years and are struggling to attract players.

The fact that both Lavia and Caicedo both rejected Liverpool for Conference League Chelsea gives you a glimpse of why some of their fans like himself are bitter.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

The way I see it, Mbappe’s signing has disrupted that team.

Prior to this season, Madrid would never have got beaten by Liverpool.

Yep. Its a case of why fix something that isn't broke. Madrid did not need Mbappe. Problem now is, they have to play him, which clearly has disrupted them.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Gabriel is out . I think you can get a draw . This manager speaks well , knows the game & how to motivate .

Arsenal play top football but also are vunerable , hence why their fans are confused & emotional . Beauty of sport is anything is possible, otherwise we wouldn’t watch it .

Arsenal fail to win a few games , wrist slit out , win a couple, other fans are insecure of them now lol

Liverpool & Man Utd are always going to be eventually up there . It’s just the basics of English football, some gooners can’t accept.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

I think Wirtz is one of the top 5 players in the world.

Top top player. Voted, Bundesliga player of the year last season, after coming back from a horrific ACL injury season before.

You guys have to go for him. Better chance of getting him than Musiala, who is settled at Bayern.

No doubt it. I've been saying it all along, cant write any team off, along way to go. Can't believe some Gooners were throwing the towel in lol. Even City can't be written off, and Chelsea.

As for UTD. We have a issue of a toxic culture, and wrong profile of players were being signed, a ingredient for disaster. We are long way off the top dogs like you guys, City, Arsenal.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yeah Mbappe has caused disruption and supposedly is acting like a petulant brat that he is. But at same time we are taking about CL league stage currently, completely different scenario for Real and City when it comes to knockout games. European experience is huge, plenty teams have looked woeful in group stages and won CL

Gabriel is out according to who?

Something you've plucked out of thin air cos I've not seen anything that he is out. He came off and may well be but to say " Gabriel is out" is another incorrect statement.

1 premier league title in 30+ years and you call that being always being "up there" . Delusion at its finest

Most managers won’t start a player who was forced off with a head injury next game but you may be right , he’ll start as you have a limited squad. Even if he’s playing Utd can take points , or do you have a winning scoreline prediction.



Some of you emotional wrist slitters never learn. It’s been over 20 years for your team & never won a European cup & you bring in glory ? Lol

1. I'm not the one claiming always "being up there". That was you so yes I repeat 1 in 30+ years is always up there

2. You quite clearly said English football pal. So yes great domination in the last 30+ years in English football.

Try harder kidda. Or maybe just focus on your team?

 

[MK7Z]

Most managers won’t start a player who was forced off with a head injury next game but you may be right , he’ll start as you have a limited squad.

Again made up statement by you without even bothering to look into something.

He wasn't taken off due to a head injury. We were 3 goals up and he had niggle in midweek and he felt a little so they took him off. He may well miss the game but not because of the reasons you claim.

Try harder.

What's going on with Unai and Villa? Is there a thread to discuss this or does it only come up when folks want to big up Unai on this thread?

 

[Mamoon]

What's going on with Unai and Villa? Is there a thread to discuss this or does it only come up when folks want to big up Unai on this thread?

Bumped the thread. Emery once again exposed under pressure and high expectations.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What's going on with Unai and Villa? Is there a thread to discuss this or does it only come up when folks want to big up Unai on this thread?

His job should be rightly scrutinised if Villa do continue in the mess that they are currently.

There is a thread for that.

What has our fan base to get to celebrate currently, its almost 5 years in charge now for Arteta, what exactly is there to show for those 5 years?

As of right now looks like Slot in his 1st season could win PL, which will be a reality check for this fan base backing "this protected" when Liverpool have jumped ahead, Chelsea aren't exactly miles behind Arsenal either

 

[Amjid Javed]

Slot will expose Arteta this season

But but Liverpool aren't on Arsenal's level

But but Arsenal are man city's main rivals now

But but Chelsea are in mud and have spent more than Arteta



Arteta ain't win title this season

But but its Arsenal's greatest 5 years in their history

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just imagine if Slot wins the Premier league or the Champions league in the next two years, whilst Master tactician "Also Ran" Arteta Carrys on the wonderful work for Kronkes!

This thread would fast become non existent bar Amjid, King khan, and king pundit.(Myself)

Arsenal fan base is to busy looking at other managers at other clubs and their failures and acting like Arsenal are dominating English football now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

making excuses like a baby as usual.

But but injuries to saliba and Arsenal cudnt cope, they didn't bottle it.

Now this excuse this season. Seems Certain will always make excuse

Zero ball knowledge as usual

Slot inherited a team that fought for the PL last season. Arteta inherited a team that was struggling to stay in the top 6.

Slot is exposing how much Klopp underachieved with this Liverpool squad.

More posts after Liverpool win than ours. Nice

Its funny how the fan base want to banter united for sacking Ten Haag, Emery is in the mud etc..

The reality is Chelsea have caught us up, Chelsea will show ambition to spend and improve in next few windows. Liverpool with a new manager are sat in front of us now.

Maybe the fan base should focus on why Arsenal keep falling short and who is going to made accountable for that failure.

Same goes for the over hype on "we are one of 4 favourites for CL etc.. player x,y,z is world class etc...

Reality is the last 5 years under thi manager have yielded nothing. If Liverpool win title this season, thar will be humiliating for this club..

On top of that Liverpools annoying fans can gloat if they win a title, where we havent

Did I hit a nerve mentioning Unai? Sorry I didn't know it triggered something. It was merely a comment about their form.

Yes it's going to be 5 years of failure. I believe you might have mentioned it before.....

Arteta took over at Arsenal 5 years ago lol.

No you didn't hurt a nerve on unai.

If Villa continue to fall away like they are currently the managers job should be reviewed at end of season, in my opinion if they end up in bottom half of table.

I'm consistent with my views on all managers, i Said the same for Eddie howe at Newcastle after they nose dived for a season as well.

But right now are fan base seem more interested in other managers performances

As well as making excuses about injuries, fixtures, referees etc.

 

[Amjid Javed]

the guy that runs off the cricket forum every summer, after getting his Arteta predictions wrong

Only that hides is you

 

[Amjid Javed]

5 years of failure with Arteta, yet you saying other managers underachievied

 

[Amjid Javed]

Says the that has conceded title and crying about injuries and referees.

Also your fake tears that you were upset and didn't want to post anymore

 

[Technics 1210]

I love it when it's game weekend!

Liverpool are 3 losses away, and Arsenal 3 wins away from leveling on points, and we are about a 3rd into the season. Anything can happen.

It's not over till the fat lady sings.

I'm still calling it - Arsenal to win the league!

Arsenal should get rid of Arteta at end of season and get a manager that can get Arsenal over the line.

Slot has shown you can take someone else's squad and get good performances out of them.

To many of Arsenal fan base seem to think that there aren't managers out there that can take Arsenal up a level. The complacency shown in summer TW has come back to bite Arsenal in backside.

The banter is all well and good, reality is we are making fun out of Man city, yet most of our fan base thought if city did slip we would take Advantage and we haven't. So to me it's what are we bantering city for? Because after 4 titles in a row their standards have dropped. At Same the club dresses up progression as sucsess. It's just a weird way for our fan base to go about things.

Yeah city are in the mud and we havet taken advantage

If its a choice of being depressed cos we haven't taken advantage or kicking them while their down I can understand why some would be pick the latter.

They've indirectly caused us depression the last couple of years so if some fans want to enjoy their downfall so be it. It doesn't happen often tbf and doesn't change our status.

Whether we are happy or sad or angry the outcome is the same.

But but its not fair Slot took over a better team

But but Marescha took over Chelsea and their mess wasn't as bad as Arsenal

But but Emery is failing

Absolute and your celebrating 5 years of failure and calling it the club's greatest period in history

 

[KingKhanWC]

Arsenal v Utd on 4th.

20 years ago this was the key match in the league. Both teams won it all domestic glory.

Now in 2024, its still a huge match up.

Arsenal are playing well in the last couple of matches but so are Utd. Most feel Arsenal will win and are favourites but what an opportunity for Utd and their new manger to put down a marker of a new era for the club.

Imo if Utd can stay solid at the back, they can nick a goal and maybe get a point.

His argument is childish at best. Arteta has had 5 years and hundreds of millions. Klopp inherited a weak team too but it didnt take him 5 years and to win nothing. Interestingly Mamoon, rates Arteta higher than Klopp, having won only the FA cup and Chairty shield double. How does he form this absurd logic?

Any intelligent and knowledgeable Arsenal fan would argue that 2022 onwards is the best period for the club in the last 20 years because for the first time in two decades, Arsenal have played like a proper big club and have sustained back to back title challenges.

Picking up FA Cups mean nothing when you are not competing for the league. Wenger won 3 FA Cups in 4 years but he was still driven out of the club because Arsenal were not fighting for the title.

United parted ways with Ten Hag in spite of winning two cups in two seasons simply because for a club like United, lack of title challenge is not acceptable.

Arteta's greatest success so far has been transforming Arsenal into title challengers again. The club and the fans forgot what it took to compete for the title before he arrived.

If Arteta leaves Arsenal today, his legacy would be smaller than Klopp's. However, I'm certain that by the time Arteta leaves, he will have multiple league titles under his belt unlike Klopp.

Klopp underachieved big time. Any other great manager included Arteta would have won at least 3 league titles with the 2019-2024 Liverpool team. Klopp was the perfect bridesmaid for Pep who would have won less if he was competing against players like Salah, VVD, Trent, Mane, Alisson etc. coached by a better manager than Klopp.

 

[Mamoon]

This is improvement ...not success. Success is silverware.

Success does not come without improvement. All of this improvement will eventually lead to success and if it doesn't and Arteta leaves Arsenal, then we can look back and dissect his tenure. For now, he is still going strong and the club will not entertain any possibility of replacing him unless things completely fall apart.

Liverpool would NEVER have signed Arteta.

He has NO CV.

He has won NOTHING.

Your claim Arteta is better than Klopp is foolish at best, no sane football academic, pundit, fan or mentally challenged supporter would ever suggest this....

Arteta is just one Premier League away from matching Klopp's legacy in English football, and he is still extremely young who is not going anywhere. He will walk all over Klopp's Liverpool legacy by the time he is done.

It is not more daft than writing Arteta off as a failure when you look at where Arsenal are today and where they were when he took over.

 

[Technics 1210]

Arteta is a good man with a good heart, but even the most faithful sometimes falter, and bottling the league with 8 points in hand, losing the following year by 1 point, is something that he and his team need to get over, and move on. It is not easy, but has to be done if Arsenal want to win the league.

Champions always come back from losing positions, and Arsenal can still, easily, do it - it's just a mindset problem.

Klopp has won leagues in more than one country , CL too , numerous CL finals .

Acc to you Arteta would win 2/3 titles in next 3 years. By October you writ him off . Now you’re hoping he manages Arsenal until he’s 85 years old before backtracking. You & Arteta may have free buses before this dream comes true

Who the hell is Michael Arteta?

Michael is a variation of Mikel. Being his biggest fan, you should know this even if you struggle with football.

 

[Amjid Javed]

If we don’t win the league, I think we’re one of the four favourites to win the CL.

I think it’ll be between Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona and Inter.

I don’t see Madrid or City winning it this season.

The way we beat Sporting, who are the same team that demolished City, was brilliant. Arsenal have made a real statement and it shows what they’re capable of doing in Europe this season.

Same Sporting team that lost to the mighty "-Santa Clara" at weekend.

1 away away in Europe after numerous inept performance and Its a statement for rest of europe

The game against sporting indicates that this Arsenal team has matured and come long away.

I appreciate it’s one game but if you look at all the away games from last season they weren’t very good.

Also with the regression of both City and Madrid, Arsenal have a great chance.

The away games vs Atlanta and inter this season were very mediocre. So it's not just last season.

Like I said, huge difference playing against an open attacking side like sporting and other teams that can defend.

Also once knockout stages happen your playing teams over two legs. Most teams aren't going to play in that gun ho fashion like sporting.

Then we will also see if world class captain and top ten striker in world (according to you) will turn up, or dissapear when it matters as usual.

Seems a certain cheerleader having a weird effect on your footballing logic all of sudden.

Arteta is a good man with a good heart, but even the most faithful sometimes falter, and bottling the league with 8 points in hand, losing the following year by 1 point, is something that he and his team need to get over, and move on. It is not easy, but has to be done if Arsenal want to win the league.

Champions always come back from losing positions, and Arsenal can still, easily, do it - it's just a mindset problem.

When Owners are rewarding failure worh huge contracts, the manager is buying a dog and calling it "win," that tells you enough about the club's mindset.

So a manager who hasn't been trophyless for 4 seasons is now great.

mode in full effect, world class bakwas as usual

I know its not the main focus of this thread but we have a game tonight.....

I always say we should win all our home games. Today is no different. We are a better side than Man United anything less than a win will be an upset.

Stop derailing this thread

I'm nervous for tonight...
Manu coming off a decent result and Rashford will be playing with confidence.

atleast. So you think we wont win?

Glad you have confidence in your team again, why not, new manager, scoring goals. I just think we are currently the better side. I think the reverse trip to Old Trafford will be interesting as I expect you lot to be settled by then.

Rashford always scores against us. I expect him to again but 3-1 it'll end up. I'd take anything that gets us 3 points and move on.

Losing to United is always the worst cos of the history. They have spanked us in the past.

We never have really repaid the spankings to be honest. Having said that I would take last minute winners over smashing them by loads of goals. It'll hurt them more

Both teams have good recent results.

Key for Utd is to watch out for Arsenals quick early start esp down both wings. If Arsenal score early in the first half, it will be very tough to come back as they will hit Utd on the counter. The longer the match is goalless the pressure will be on Arsenal, mistakes can then appear for Utd to take advantage.

The problem for Arsenal is being 9 points behind, they only have possibly 2 more matches they can lose for the rest of the season and drawing at home is not great either.

Should be a great watch for the neutral.

Surely a Liverpool fan cant be backing UTD

0-0 draw would be great for us

Utd need to be physical, go in hard like the old days. Utd teams has become too soft since Fergie left but it seems the new manager wants them to go in hard with tackles again.

Ill only be watching the 2nd half as LFC are playing away to Newcastle. Most Arsenal fans feel this match will be a walk in the park but lets see if Utd can spoil the party.

So what score do you think it will be?

I don't think you have ever predicted us to win a game.....Its always it'll be tough. Its the PL most no game is easy.

I have on many occasions in the past.

It’s a difficult call , first 15 mins are key for Utd as Arsenal often score early.

If I had to say , 2-1 . Yours ?

United always come to the Emirates and have a go, which suit Arsenal.

I expect united to play 3-4-3 and look to play on the counter attack, like they usually do in these games.

Amorin will want his team to play out of back and get ball quickly, as they are still learning to play that way they will be prone to losing ball in dangerous position. If Arsenal press well and can prey on united mistakes I can see a few goals.

We should win tonight 3-1
