Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[MikelArteta]

Arsenal got Southampton, Everton, Citeh (EFL Cup), Chelsea then Brighton to finish off 2020.

scary thing is we can't even score goals, all you need is one against arsenal then close up shop

We actually took finishing in the top 4 consistently under Wenger for granted, we’re legit in a relegation battle

That's because Wenger made sure the squad wasn't old. Remember no-one over 30 got more than 1 year contract. This lot giving out retirement plans like James Harden making it rain in a strip club.

While there were no defensive midfielders/destroyers, there were people who could create and score from midfield.

Troopz legit got me in tears.

I was gonna give him a chance . But after he brought on Cellabos. And I know he's gonna start him next game. I'm done . Don't really care what happens with Arteta anymore. Dude just chooses to see what he wants to see.

There is no way managing that game you don't bring Ainsley,Smith Rowe or both on by the 55 minute. Xhaka should have been hooked at the half.

The same players who let us down under Emery let us down this season. Instead of binning Bellerin, they kept him. Instead of binning Lacazette, they kept him. Instead of binning Xhaka, they kept him. Those 3 don't look like modern footballers and Arteta has no one to blame but himself. He didn't create this mess but he prolonged it.

why are there PL games midweek this week?

why are there PL games midweek this week?

Because the league started late and the CL/EL took at least 2 rounds of mid week fixtures. This round of midweek fixtures were going to take place at this time in a normal season anyway.

All the leagues are playing mid week this upcoming week.

The worst thing that happened to Arsenal/Arteta was winning the FA Cup.

 

[Montez]

Away days at Blackburn and Millwall might not be that bad.

Neymar done for the season. You can hear him crying.

Thought that was still from a corner

Ball went from a corner to willan who then crossed it in, still crap though, we haven't scored goal from a passage of play in the league for months

What the hell is wrong with Patrice? Is he aware of the can of worms he's opening by telling that story on air? I love the dude but he needs a little of a filter sometimes.
