Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

[Amjid Javed]

Honestly I don't even know who he was and what he did. Quite frankly I couldn't care less with their diversion tactics of Saka new deal and backroom staff leaving.

Just win games. That's what we care about.

The pile on this week has been somewhat justified but boy oh boy what a pile on. You'd think it was the last game of the season the way some are going on.
Yes it's probably Advantage city but their firm is patchy to.

What disgusts me the most lol is Liverpool and United fans supporting City.

Very odd behaviour if you ask me. But I guess for whatever reason they don't want Arsenal to win.

I swear if we pull it off its gonna be so sweeeet.
( same as it is for them if we don't)

When it was City vs Liverpool - CIty are 115 cheats, they have more money to spend etc..

When it's City vs Arsenal - you have certain Liverpool fans doing shajdas, extra prayers while at umrah for Man City

Serious question, this season have you enjoyed watching games? Also when it comes to midweek or weekend do looking forward and go I can't wait to watch the match?

No need for getting emotional…banter/rivalry is part of the game. Most ppl in my circle do not want Arsenal to win the league…these are Villa/Tottenham/Utd/ fans. So it’s not just Utd or Liverpool fans.

I will be supporting Man City this week vs Newc simply because of the Newc fans behaviour during the Isak saga. Come on City!!!!

The irony of so called Newcastle fans in the isak saga. Yet same Liverpool fans who were calling Trent ATG PL right back and then calling him a snake and Rat.

Makes me laugh how hypocritical certain fans are

When it comes to Arsenal... Emotion left me a long time ago

I try to enjoy the wins and get over the disappointments pretty fast.

Losing a UCL final does that to you.

I referenced this during the week. I don't enjoy the games anymore. When they are on I want them to end.

Previously I'd not want the game to end cos we were a joy to watch. Now it's just get the points and leave.

When you win playing the way we do you sorta have a reward for having to sit through it. When it's a loss or draw then just leaves you wondering why you bothered.

I've always found time to watch arsenal as its pretty much the only sport except UFC I follow so I'll still always watch the games.

Can't argue with this if we carry on. However I don't think it'll ever top this SLIP up

The Mother of all Bottle jobs. Then again im pretty sure UTD bottled a league in Fergies tenure as well

You want us to lose because your club tapped up our player and then said player proceeded to behave like a scumbag? Makes sense

Though, tbf I was over the moon when said player played like a donkey for months and Liverpool put up arguably the worst title defence in Premier League history. Come on Forest!!!!

Offended by everything. Ashamed of nothing

It's the Liverpool way

I don't think it's arguable tbh.
I can't think of any other title defence where the holders renewed 2 of they star players and then went on a spending spree where they spent the most ever spent in a single window.

It's not talked about enough. Anyway this is the Arsenal thread... I mentioned this in the pool thread and it was met with silence.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Trent honoured his contract until the very last day, contributed to their success and they gave him dogs abuse, only a telling off from Klopp calmed them down a bit and they want Newcastle fans to be cordial towards The Rat? What absolute bakwaas

Then again, this is the same club/fans that wore t-shirts in support of a racist

I don't care who you support, clearly your part time supporters, as your so called 1st team is fighting Brentford to secure conference league spot.

Bet you can't wait to see wirtz, isak, salah vs Romanian bus drivers and slovian bin men

Biggest bottle job in PL history is united in 2012, thats a fact

8 point lead with just 6 games left.

United only needed 11 points from last 6 games to win the title, or even just 8 points from 6 they had drawn at the eithad.

That's the biggest points lead thrown away with least number of games left (6)

Agreed that's probably one that sticks out but to be fair to United and Fergie they dominated for years to come prior and won it the following season to make up for it.

I hate United especially Fergies United but I think their fans can probably forgive them for that season.

All big sides have bottled a league title at sumpoint.

For me the 2 most frustrating ones with Arsenal were 98/99 - we had a 2 point lead going into the last 2 games that season. We also should have beaten united in FA cup semi final when Bergkamp missed the penalty. We should have been looking at back to back doubles, instead united won a treble.

Same goes in 02/03 - throwing a 8 point lead in March, against a united side which wasn't that good. We should have been looking at winning back to back titles, and then ultimately 3 PLs in a row. Between 01/02 and 03/04 was probably strongest team we had.

Wenger should have really won 5 PLs early on. So yeah in terms of fergie 2012, if they hadn't lost to City im sure it they would have forgiven it

Yeah agreed its not the greatest watch at moment, even more so the manner in which team selections or the way we played espcially earlier in season vs liverpool and City. That cautious approach kind of sucks the enthusiasm out of you before a game

That's why I rate the Fergie vs Wenger over the Klopp vs Pep Era. Pep wiped the floor with them ultimately.

Where as fergie vs wenger was a proper hatred to go along with the intensity

Only consolation was 13 premier league titles in the Premier League era. I'd Take that any day

At the End Fergie owned Wenger.

 

[MK7Z]

At the End Fergie owned Wenger.

He owned the whole league

Rivalry wise I think the peak 7 years of it fergie won 4 and wenger won 3. After the invincibles we fell off.

My point was comparing it to Klopp vs Pep. In 7 years it's 6 vs 1... Not much of a rivalry.

Pep v Klopp rivalry was completely overblown. Pep destroyed him.

Klopp should have won 3 PLs, he didn't so yeah that made it a no contest

Arsenal will cross the line..just

 

[Obaidd]

Some (most) of the football Arsenal played in the PL this year has been dull and dour and that is Arteta’s style but most teams also play with tactics against Arsenal that make it difficult to play free flowing football. In CL, they have played with more flair.

Having said that, tomorrow’s match against spurs will be a lively affair. They’ve got a new manager and would like to prove a point after getting thrashed in the reverse fixture.

 

[ads101]

Klopp got a premier league and a champions league. That’s slightly better than 3 premier leagues at Arsenal. And wenger was there a far longer time.

Klopp got unlucky to have gone toe to toe with arguably the best premier league side of all time. Those sort of premier league totals would have won you the league easily most years. And if anything the difference came more down to squad depth. If Liverpool had the same squad depth I think they would have won. It was more a difference in squad depth and money.

What Klopp did with the budget he had was a miracle. And even then I chalk it more down to lack of funds the reason why he lost not being outhought by pep.

Arsenal are different. They have bottled the league multiple times when the opponents weren’t so good anymore. Dropping points by the boatload in the business end of the season. Errors leading to goal. And it’s not even the attack, it’s the defense doing the bottling who have been excellent up to recently. That is bottling. 2022/23 season is probably the worst bottle job in history, I think it set some sort of record.

Klopp is one of the best premier league managers in history. The fact he got so close to pep and pushed them so far is incredibly impressive.
