That was definitely not the best second half of football for us. Getting dominated at home like that by what is, this season, a poor Liverpool side, is shocking. I'm not sure why we've played two games against them this season in similar fashion. Toothless.

{Ed025's Note - it was bloody awful to watch Sharpey, Liverpool were actually the better side mate, if they made a film about that match it would be called...ARSENAL SHAT THEIR PANTS, it bored me to tears..

I think we were definitely the better side in the first half. We absolutely didn't turn up for the second half. Extremely disappointed with the result. Some fans will want to look on the bright side and be happy with the point taken from this game. I'm not one of those fans.

Bruce Willis wants to play Arteta in his next film - Draw Hard

Managed to make a crap Liverpool team look half decent while we were time wasting for the last 45 minutes showing zero ambition in a toothless bottle job of a game. Another terrible point against a top 6 team. Like most bullies we lacked balls, heart and ambition. Hang your head in shame Arteta and our cowardly captain Ode who could not play more cowardly passes if he tried. Looks like Viktor has zero clue or desire to score.

Onwards and upwards - still top and still not hit any form yet. That’s a positive if we start to perform. Need to grow a set ready for a few away games as we will need that gap when the pressure really is on 👍

On another positive - Great first half from Saka and especially Rice. Rice was everywhere - My captain.

Viktor was goddam awful.

Christmas late this year. Scores going our way tonight hopefully the boys will put in a shift tomorrow n get the 3 points.

07 Jan 2026 23:56:13
Quite apart from that, I'd really like us to smash Liverpool. We were so timid going up against them last time at Anfield that the boys need to realise they are a class above when they commit to playing aggressively, and should be dominating them from the first whistle.

{Ed025's Note - beat Liverpool and its game over Wire, all the other contenders are tying their best to hand it to you on a plate...please take it..

Hope so ed025. We've been here before - the season we capitulated to Liverpool handing them a route back to a 2-2 draw was basically where it all fell apart. I'm going to retain an air of absolute pessimism unless it's mathematically certain!

{Ed025's Note - its a great time to play Liverpool Wire, they are a bit of a mess at the moment mate and devoid of any confidence...but you must not sit back and let them bully you, go at them from the start and if you do score keep on the front foot and go for another and finish the job, i should be sending this to Mikel mate.. :)

Thats a little extreme saying other teams are trying the best to give it us. I think it shows the results show that all the teams are having a bad season. Condenting with injuries and fatigue is mmassive. Number of games players are playing this season compared to other seasons has taken its toll. We have been fortunate the past two seasons that we have been able to remain competitive with our injuries and have now got a good squad that can handle these injuries even though some of the injuries have knocked us off the stride but we will be good and what we have been building on will last many years to come.

Tonights game is a massive psychological battle and one we should rise to. I too would love to see us smash LiVARfool, however its not a sprint and there is a lot of games to play. Do not risk injury to players and red cards and an entertaining game is what I am hoping for to keep the ship steady.

I stronly believe that we need to look out or dr physitions and medical team to make sure we have the best in place we can keep our players injury free and in the best health. that's our only weakness at the moment and on a grand scale would encourage the bodies to look at h ow they are scheduling all these diofferent tounments.

May I enquire as to what exactly it is about the two that makes it so much more desirable, or less unpleasant, than the original exclamation mark?

07 Jan 2026 10:28:12
Just seemed a bit in your face SirW lol.

05 Jan 2026 10:40:39
And. another manager bites the dust. How lucky are we to have such a settled setup!
I remember a few years ago our much missed ed002 said we were a very badly run club. Thank goodness we were able to turn things around.
