Arsenal banter 10

26 Mar 2026 12:29:03
Boring international break and we are feeling down after Sunday so how about a few jokes people.

26 Mar 2026 18:08:45
Spurs. That is all.

26 Mar 2026 19:07:06
What's the difference between Tottenham and a tea bag? The tea bag stays in the cup longer.

27 Mar 2026 11:22:58
How do footballers keep cool during a game?

They stay close to the fans. 🤣

And, I reckon the France v Brazil game yesterday was anything but boring! Watch out, England.

Amusement worker got the sack.
So, he is suing them for funfair dismissal.

Love your positivity Sally but I feel I am speaking for a large proportion of Arsenal fans here, if the 'one' is the FA Cup then we have had a shocker I'm afraid.

It has to be either the PL or CL and for it needs to be the CL to that monkey off our back.

The Arsenal till I die 💪🏻 North London forever, victory through harmony 🔴⚪️❤️.

Now that everything has (sort of) calmed down, I have decided I'm fed up with all the negative social media posts about our club and I'm going full-on positive from now on! I've always been a glass half full sort of person 😉

Let's go! 🏆 🏆 🏆 One out of 3 would be ok for me!

24 Mar 2026 19:55:45
Kudos to you, Sally. I tried that, but the heartbreak when our positivity is shattered takes you to the darkest place, and then you doubt and blame everything. However, I still believe we can win the PL. COYG!

26 Mar 2026 03:06:55
We're going to win the league, Sallyjannine, you keep smiling.

Nice to see our Ben has been called back to the England team. Hope he enjoys his games and comes back in one piece ready for the run in! ⚽️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🥅.

Another player to potentially get injured. I have no time for these waste of time friendlies.

24 Mar 2026 14:59:22
Nor me, Banbury, dragging players halfway around the world for a stupid and pointless game, which at no time has helped us towards winning a WC or Euro.

24 Mar 2026 16:29:17
What's the point of Kane, Saka, Rice and others going when they are a shoe in to start the first game in the World Cup, we know what they are like so my put more stress on them and risk injury. Senseless, I would have spoken to the players and explained why they aren't in this squad.

24 Mar 2026 17:15:57
Friendlies or not, surely the teams need to get instructions/work together before a World Cup?

I understand all the comments above, but managers and their players need time together before such a huge competition, I reckon.


I read that Rice and Saka will sit the first game out, which seems a good idea.

And. who knows how the World Cup will go, or if it will go at all! Anyone on here going?

24 Mar 2026 18:42:34
Hello Sally, hope you are well.
Banbury has summed it up with his comments about Kane, Saka, etc. If they need pointless friendlies to gel together, and Tuchel needs to see who gels and who his best 11 is, well, we are in serious trouble.
Take care.

I have said earlier that I have doubts about Zubimendi, but will give him the benefit of first season in the new league. However, though some of his tackles are great, his passing is mostly sideways or backwards. He has been guilty of Man U's first goal in the home defeat. For the final, he was ahead of Oreilly when Kepa dropped the ball; he shouldn't have allowed him to score, but he was easily brushed aside for a free header.



Hopefully he improves in his physicality for the next season.
Over analysing now that I am pissed to lose the chance of first of the four trophies.

Evening all, I was gonna post a rant yesterday, but decide against it, I personally think our wingers don’t score enough goals, especially your “star boy” take the red tinted glasses off for a second and look at his goals the last 3 years! I think our forward line needs a reshuffle, this is why I would like in the summer.
Sell
Martinelli
Trossard
Saka
Ode
Kia
Ben White
Buy
Livermento
Tonali
Rodrygo
Leao
Guler
Alverez
Personally that’s an upgrade on every player, I know the Saka lovers will go mad and just say it’s shocking what I’ve said, but this is my own opinion and would love to see this happen, absolutely gutted about yesterday COYG.

23 Mar 2026 19:06:19
I'd sell Jesus, Vik & Kai. I'd keep Saka, but agree Ode needs to go also.

Problem is Arteta & his style of play, though - he loves a hard working striker who presses rather than scores.. Noni looked pretty poor, and no end product also. Eze looks poor with our style of play.. Something other than the players needs addressing.

Hope you are well.

How have we managed to be 9pts clear in the Prem, unbeaten in 10 CL games, quarter final of the FA Cup, Carabao Cup final, albeit a terrible display in the final? How have we managed with such an underperforming squad. Granted, Mikel made a bad selection yesterday and waited too long for substitutions, and I have been critical of that in the past, for example I would have thrown Max on yesterday but he didn't.


You're both entitled to your opinion, but let's wait till the end of the season before we pass judgement. Don't get me wrong, I was angry like everyone else yesterday, f***ing livid tbh, but let's just wait till the end of the season.
Take care.

{Ed025's Note - yeah Bill still a hell of a lot to play for yet mate..

24 Mar 2026 07:04:52
Bill, I'm not passing judgement on our season. I'm just saying our wingers don't score enough goals, and it's there to see. Good wingers should be easily getting 15 prem goals a season. I don't think Saka has scored that in two years! He needs to up his game.

People moan about other players, but when it comes to "star boy" he gets a pass. He's probably been the least consistent player for the last 2/3 years. People just have their Arsenal glasses on. L, SY forgot about Jesus, get shot of him too lol.

24 Mar 2026 08:22:44
Hello Dublin mate, hope you are safe and well.
I think the general consensus around Saka is that he has become too greedy.
Sunday's performance was shocking, in team selection, tactics, and players' attitude.
I still think we will win the league. City and we will drop points, and I think the draws against Forest and West Ham will be costly for Pep, just like our 2 home defeats against West Ham and Villa a couple of seasons back cost us.


The CL is so suited to us because of the way we play, and I think we are capable of that as well.
Having said all that, if we are potless again this season, I think Mikel should be replaced, but I have a gut feeling the Kroenkes won't replace him.
Anyway, take care, Dublin mate.

I.

Eze pulled from England squad, hope his injury is not serious.

23 Mar 2026 09:15:49
So he should be. If he wasn't fit enough yesterday, why send him to the England squad? Same goes for Timber and Ode; keep them at home.
