After all that, Saturday is looking pretty close now.
Hello guys. Are you nervous for the final or nah?
>>154860500No. Arsenal are going to win.
>>154860498my week is stuffed but evening and the whole of Saturday are reserved for the Arsenal.That’s when the anxiety kicks in. Thank god for hard liquor though.
>>154860582>Rice 0% Huh. I think it's Raya hands down but Rice being at 0% seems suspicious.
internet pollsi remember when he had to cope with those
>>154860609You can still vote, Rice is on 6% now.
>>154860043If we just signed big name managers in the hope that they'd get a tune out of our shit players, we'd end up in Spurs' position.
>>154860509>WinBro, you will take 3 against psg, it's over before it even started
>>154860677Go back to your ghetto, this is an arsenal thread.
How ironic that Christ loving Arsenal will haram-ball to UCL victory versus the Muslim hordes of the Parisian banlieue.
>>154860656Ah, so it's just new. Makes sense.
>>154860735Also funny how it seems Arsenal have the most Muslim fans in the EPL. Every time I see an Arsenal fan video it's some brown who speaks worse broken English than me and using Muslim terms.
See that win on the final day was important.
>>154860764>Also funny how it seems Arsenal have the most Muslim fans in the EPLNo. Its definitely Man United.
>>154860831Maybe they do in sheer numbers but isn't United a bigger club in general?
>>154860764Blacks support Arsenal, Pakis support Man United, Indians support Liverpool.
>>154860851>Blacks support ArsenalImmigrated to UK pre-2005 Blacks: ArsenalImmigrated to UK post-2005 Blacks: Chelsea
>>154860826Prem is very competitve these days. Smaller teams pose an enormous threat to bigger teams. Bournemouth beating arsenal and getting a draw against city for example. Or wolves a relegated side beating liverpool and drawing against arsenal and united. Matches are way more competitive these days. Naturally we won't see 90+ points all that often with the way things are going. 85 points is a good tally.
>>154860826>this centuryThat conveniently misses the season where Man U won the title with 75 points.
>>154860851Man city have a lot of stani fans I've seen in the crowds. It's cheap, muslim owned team with a few muslim players, instant gratification because they usually win at least 1 trophy.
>>154860861Get to that magic 26 win mark and you have a good chance.
>>154860677right, just like you put 3 past us in one game last year
PissG is falling into the over-confidence trap.

>>154861196>imagine how butthurt you have to be to create this
I was doing some analysis on how to PSG. And yet I am stumped because PSG thrives on chaos. Inter always play a disciplined defensive team like us and when they had a lack of concentration or out of shape Kvara and Dembele pounced. Chelsea play that similar nature to PSG except when they thrive on chaos they dont have much success and they won at that meme tournament.Either we adjust and follow the Chelsea book on how they did it. Let Saka and Odegaard dictate play and let Saka be a cutback ngubu or we haramball like always
>>154861311Just throw Calafiori in there somewhere. Chaos will come naturally.
>>154861311There were a few videos on enrique and particularly how he sets up PSG. Can't find the best one which is irritating. As you say, it's chaos, dragging players away, fluid movement and quick passes. I think it's got to be terrorball. It's worked well, the defence is very solid. Gyokeres does a great job as the deep lying forward when they're playing terrorball. Whenever they open up and go more attacking like against palace and fulham, they really lack the clinical finishing because everyone other than gyokeres can't convert chances efficiently, and he's always heavily marked and nullified. They have to play for counters and set pieces. On the flip side I would be totally unsurprised if they went out and played fluid attacking football. They did that to beyer and it worked really, really well. They did it with city to an extent and if havertz wasn't garbage at sticking the ball in the net, they'd have drawn bare minimum. The amount of chances missed that game was criminal, arsenal were the better side and created far better quality opportunities.
>>154861309>escaped the clutches of Pathetico just in time good for him
>>154861244>Odefraud
>>154861244Is Yildiz catholic?
Congratulations to your championship! I hope you are still celebrating and smirking regularly Any chance you’re willing to get fleeced (for a player you don’t want/need anyway) now?
People are writing off Zubimendi too early. He was solid in the first half of the season, and while he has dropped off recently he has played every single PL match without being rotated for most of it, so it's understandable that he's fatigued. For whatever reason, Arteta refused to trust Norgaard and only started trusting MLS in the last few games of the season. If he's willing to rotate more next season then I think our midfield situation is fine. I'd much rather spend big money on a LW or el bencho instead of another central midfielder.
>>154861425If its terrorball we better hope Dembele or Kvara has a bad day in the office. I'm scared of just thinking Cala, Piero or Blanco trying to defend or sprinting back to catch them
>dropping Gyoko for el bencho
>>154861517Tonali is a good shout because he's available. He's solid. High work rate, physical, plays a lot of progressive passes, dribbles well. 26 so a good few years left in him. Partner with rice would be really good. Then they've got way too many in midfield and MLS is cucked so it's unlikely to happen, maybe for the better. MLS needs more time, already I saw a few games where zubi upped his game because MLS was in the team, whether that's rest or competition to keep position. Would love to see how Tonali does at arsenal though, I think that would be a great signing.
is dembele still injured? surely not
>>154861570A big part of his game is cutting in and taking a shot, which more often than not goes in. You've got to prevent the shot in the first place of course but I can see rice dropping in to block the far post so the defenders don't get dragged away from position. Sit just in the edge of the box to block, like a half back. Problem then is you can't allow sustained pressure because it gets messy as you've allocated too much onto one player, but then look at Saka this season. Often defenders double up on him and the right hand side is closed down entirely because he can't get anywhere and can't lay of passes consistently that exploits the player being dragged from position. It has happened, but nowhere near as often as it could have been. That's partially why he's been shit, he's been effectively countered all season and arsenal have no counter.
Apologise.
>>154861482no!!’ pay up or shut up
>>154860858cap
>>154861673he's never held his gf like that
>>154861673>Devoid of any personality>Hasn't given any meaningful interview in all his time at the club>Modern day leader...lmao>Vegan married to q hag older than him>Weak as fuck my 6 yr old can probably bully him off the ballWhen does this limp wristed faggot fuck off so rice can be main captain?
>>154861773Yeah but he's a devout catholic
>>154860500I don't usually engage with the type of people that say "or nah" but I'm looking forward to it, win or lose. Plenty of beers and the new local burger place afterwards.Every year this team has improved on the last European campaign, if its not this year we will win it the next
>>154861773>30 year olds are considered hags nowadays>He's 27
>>154861618Dunno. He's in that similar mid-20s age bracket as Rice and Zubi. I feel the next stage of the project will be recruiting more youthful prospects again since success has been achieved and last summer was the "go and buy complete/experienced players to get across the line" transfer window.>>154861673I still think >we need to find a new role/position for him, but it's nice that someone burdened with the superstar tag as a young teenager has managed to come good at Arsenal. He's also one of the earlier members of the Arteta project, so I'm glad he has got this reward. Hopefully next season, without the World Cup to worry about, he'll push himself more and be closer to his best.
>>154852632I think Odegaard's wife looks better desu
his glow up was immense
Lets go for one of these free players. For me Daichi Kamada just for no reason but its a cool name like an anime character
>>154862015Depends how the UCL goes. I think MLS really needs to get a solid chance in midfield, he showed a lot of promise in his last games. I thought he was 21 for some reason, he's 19. He is the project for the midfield, and he's fully bought into the arsenal mentality. Seems like a perfect fit for the long run. Other positions need first team players though, LW needs someone consistent. Need a back up right back, probably good for a project player there. Striker I think is fine with gyokeres, they can do more to play to his strengths. And I can't imagine a better player in the role he currently plays as a DLF, maybe haaland. He's got the strength, speed, stamina for pressing and finishing. Shows up for the tap ins. He's perfect, it's just he's not got a chance to be a poacher or a fox in the box, maybe against spurs when they left him too much space. Really they just need a world class LW and a back up in RB assuming white is getting binned. Shame for white but whatever. He's got a medal, he lifted the trophy.>>154862015>we need to find a new role/position for himHopefully the team opens up next season and plays with confidence instead of desperation, it's been hard to watch this season. Fulham was a good game, so was palace bar the jesus disasterclass. If they play flowing positive football with a new LW I'm sure it'll feel like the team signed another 5 players because suddenly the other side of their game is actually in show. Quick fluid counters, more direct passing and movement around the box, a few more long shots. Shame that most opponents play a low block against arsenal.
just found out there is no psg parade planned if PSG win and champs-elysees paris area is being closed down before the game to stop riots
>It is my understanding, there is a seriously confident expectation now for a decision on the Man City 115 case to be delivered in the coming weeks (sometime in the summer latest ) >All Premier League clubs await official communication>t. HoA
>>154862131Paris has fallen a long time ago anon.
>>154862131PSG are super-astroturfed fake shit from the 1970s, and Paris is a city run by nafris and blacks. The other people there are either other immigrants or shameless cosmopolitan bandwagoners tolerating the rest of the rabble. It is no surprise that they are incapable of soulfulness and instead define fan culture as rioting regardless of the resultA warning sign to the rest of Europe, which is on that slope as well. In football and beyond. However, they are the favorites
>>154862119I worry the club may cash in on MLS. Or maybe it'll be Ethan now, who knows? Would love for them both to stay a few more years, to see how they develop, but that "pure profit" BS means it might not be likely. And an elite LW is a must. Would probably be a real tonic to >our attack. Shit, even just a consistently good LW would probably be an upgrade given how unpredictable both Tross and little Gabi are.>>154862135Pep on his way to a non-extradition country.

>>154862131They had a cheeky riot after beating bayern. Disgraceful people.
>>154861570Blanco won't be sprinting back much these days I'd say
>>154862237Those two groups congregating with each other brings out their worst traits in every way. We have issues here but I cannot imagine the hostility of those groups. A riot after winning a football match. Where does it end?
>>154862131So far all we've got to worry about is litter and people being messy cunts.
>>154861311we beat them on set pieces, mid block counters and cross-ins.
>>154862286You just know Poop handed out handjobs and blowjobs so the fines and deductions come after he is gone so he wont have to answer to difficult question or derail the title push.
>>154862394it asterisks all his victories

How can someone get so mad over someone stating that professional footballers are catholic. Odegaard is catholic. So is most the squad. It contributes to their excellent performance. Even Win is a catholic.

>>154861802id imagine he's Scandinavian Protestant the Reformation went hard up there
Berta is always taking to a million targets. Isn't that part of his "strategy"? Bet we don't actually buy Tonali.
Rather we splurge on a left winger than Tonali 2bqh
>>154862486Italians are loose cannons in general to be honest. Calafiori seems to have his head screwed on though.
>>154862563Agreed but whomst
>>154862592juve botched CL maybe berta could tempt yildiz, although i read he's more of an Eze type of player than a pure winger
Tollington already sold out of tickets for the final despite saying they were gonna start selling at 4:30 what a joke
>>154862676I'm still scratching around for a place here. Maybe the other HK anon can correct me, but it seems the "official" Arsenal pub is also the official pub for a bunch of other teams and you have to be a member for special games anyway (so fuck that shit). Maybe I'll have to go to some dodgy place in Mong Kok. At least there I can probably have a smoke inside if I feel like it.
Just watch it at home on the 75" TV with terrible motion tracking

>>154862867>Nwaneri will be sold 100%, every one on this board needs to comes to terms with that. Another Reiss Nelson/ESR case unfortunatelyYup because he's got retards advising him. Should have kept quiet and kept his head down
>>154862676No business is prepared for it. They keep making estimates on how many will turn up and they keep getting destroyed. The queues are mad. 4.30PM was way too late to say they'd be selling them should've been like 12PM.
>>154862867There's a guy in romania who hosts a popular tv show about sports and politics and the weird thing about him is he's a massive autist about Marseille. And he said when Nwaneri came in he looked like a deer in headlights, that he looked out of place on the pitch and was quacking in his boots.

>>154861773Odegaard is the captain because he's the player Arteta always wanted to be when he was playingThis is also why Xhaka became a captain for a short bit and he's already getting the certifications so he can instantly jump to managing as soon as he retires

>[Alex Crook] Arsenal are leading the drive to sign Morgan Rogers, and preliminary talks with his advisors are believed to have already taken place. Chelsea and Man United are also in contention. While Villa value Rogers at a minimum £80m, a bidding war is likely to push that to £100m+If true, it would suggest eze on the left more often. And expecting sales of both trossard and martinelli to fund a true LW

>>154859915I like to think my constructive criticism shared here whenever the lads underperformed was a contributing factor that kept the Team on the edge just that tit that titled the odds.
wish there was some picture of Havertz-Kepa-Madueke with the EPL trophy.
why can't we pick up a cherki-tier player that wont cost 100m minimum
There needs to be a separate transfer market for catholic players. Obviously the values would be higher for the players but it'll give teams a good idea of which players are worth signing and which are worthless.
