As we saw last season, even a team as strong as Liverpool fell away horribly when hit with defensive injuries, which to be honest weren't as extensive as what we've experienced this season (for virtually all of this season we have been missing 3 or 4 of our first choice back 4). Liverpool were 8th or 9th until a strong late run over the last 10 games saved their season to some extent. 8th or 9th for them is like lower mid table for us which is where we are now. Our only hope is that we can get key players back from injury and have a strong finish, like they did last year. It's important to remember that around 20% of our PL fixtures so far have been against Man City and Liverpool. As in the great escape season, our run in looks favourable on paper so you never know...... That’s a lovely bit of positivity, go you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your point was that local journos should be asking difficult questions of Brendan about our lack of wins rather than injuries. But my point is that the latter have played a crucial part in the former so the two points are not unrelated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 It’s all how you play the journalists, how open you are to giving them access to the squad, a small story here and there and you’ll be fine. Look at Steve Bruce at Newcastle, I heard pundits defending him left right and centre, where as Rafa, Mourinho and co get shafted. Look at the different way Pearson and Ranieri were treated by the media when we struggled in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not put a foot wrong this season so far, and needs to be thought about for the England setup. He's miles better than Tryone Mings for a start. Mings is a garbage. Surprised to learn he has 16 ****ing England caps. Unbelievable how has shithoused his way into the England setup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 15 February 2022 Share Posted 15 February 2022 This ends 1-1 and Arsenal don't get false hopes of winning the title, and thus the post match dressing room selfie don't become a meme.

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 15 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 15 February 2022 That's a bit tinpot from arsenal. Bit like Watford celebrating "Deeney day" regardless of the fact they went on to lose in the final? You expect it from Watford. Bit sad that Arsenal, with their long history of winning trophies, celebrating the day they scraped an extremely jammy win against the eventual champions they finished nine points behind? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past Arsenal have been thought of as a classy and proud club. This seems somewhat lacking. We did have the last laugh though.
