Arsenal banter 4

Not our best performance and palace really closed their territory really good and played very close to our players, didn't give us any space. But we didn't creat much to hurt them, too many back and sude way passes.
But what matter is the 3 points,
Wins in your bad days what will win you the title.

26 Oct 2025 16:57:05
Absolutely right Moe mate.
We dropped 18 pts from winning positions last season, this season 5 games scoring first and won every one
Take care Moe mate.

26 Oct 2025 17:16:28
Evening moe, & hb last season we dropped points to Newcastle and Fulham away and West Ham and palace at home. this season the same four fixtures have yielded maximum points. that’s next level stuff and proves we are learning from previous mistakes… not the prettiest game today.

we looked solid and nicked the goal that won us the game and what a goal it was from eze… 3 points in the bag, job done on to the next one… one game at a time. COYG/ VTH 🔴⚪️❤️.

Scrappy win

I'll take that.

26 Oct 2025 16:56:41
scrappy dappy dooooooo.

26 Oct 2025 13:13:26
The strength on the bench today is incredible compared to years gone by, and to think we still have Noni Ode and Kia to come back. Very encouraging 👍👍👍.

26 Oct 2025 16:07:14
Don't forget Jesus as well 62.

26 Oct 2025 17:41:05
Good shout Sally, I had actually forgotten all about Jesus.

26 Oct 2025 19:07:48
Read he won't be back until Easter.

26 Oct 2025 19:47:23
Sparky 😂
No Christmas gift for 62 this year. Santa will be very upset with those comments.

26 Oct 2025 21:14:32
To be fair, it has been a while!

Im sure Santa 🎅 will be sympathetic Moe, he seems a pretty reasonable bloke mate so I'm not giving up on the train set and space hopper just yet as I've got a good feeling about this year 🤞.

Evening all just wanted to say. well pleased Brentford beat Liverpool. well deserved the much better team. popped into see my 87year old father today who happens to be a lifelong Brentford fan. and he called it. he's exact words were the super bee's will sting the scousers. (legend) . watching the game and in the 91st minute Virgil van dick produced a nasty elbow to the back of the head on the Brentford forward in the area.

no penalty given ( absolutely shocking how vvd constantly gets away with such naughtiness on a regular basis) and is always in the referees ear hole trying to influence games. he loves dishing it out but acts like a massive baby when the boot is on the other foot. anyway well done Brentford 👏🏻👏🏻 and COME ON YOU GUNNERS for Sunday let's do our best to really turn the screw. 🔴⚪️❤️.

25 Oct 2025 22:57:44
According to Mark Lawreson, Bob Paisley used to tell his Liverpool players " loose 4 no more " if you want to win the league.

Its a long way between now and May for Liverpool if Bob was right in his philosophy.

25 Oct 2025 23:05:34
So its between us, the mighty Haaland, and xhakas newly promoted Sunderland - unexpected.

26 Oct 2025 03:37:38
Yeah, it's not looking good for us at the moment and we may have already lost the league. Having 4 losses at this stage of the competition doesn't bode well, especially since it is 4 losses. On the trot. I won't be throwing in the towel just yet but Slot needs to find a solution and find it fast.

Fans are calling for his head already and frankly, I can understand that sentiment since he looks clueless this season. Sad for me to say but the league is most likely going to be between you lot and City.

26 Oct 2025 05:13:55
Its the manner of the defeats that gives me confidence, Dracred, it looks like it might take a while to solve. Your squad is still quality though so I'm sure you'll figure things out with or without slot.

26 Oct 2025 07:35:38
Dracred, usually I'd have some empathy, because we've been there as a fan base. However, I'm finding it hard to do so. With the exception of you, another Liverpool fan named Bill, I think, and Ed001, the rest of your mob are quite distasteful.

26 Oct 2025 08:17:27
I remember Ashley Cole saying in 2004 " i know we will lose a game at some point, but at the moment i can't imagine how"

When confidence and self belief are running high throughout an entire club everything just seems to go that clubs way, but once that bubble is burst by a couple of consecutive defeats that confidence and self beliefs seems drain away faster than water from a kitchen sink.

Slot did brilliantly in his first season but defending a title is always harder then winning a title first time round plus last season it was pretty much Klopps team with a new voice in the changing room but that honeymoon period is definitely been and gone for Arnie now.

26 Oct 2025 12:50:15
I absolutely love Brentford, total superstars 😊.

27 Oct 2025 07:18:44
Can't blame you for that Sharpie. But I'd like to think that it's just a loud minority who are distasteful. Most have no problems with Arsenal.

I have been on here saying that Arteta is holding back Arsenal, but at the very least he has created a very positive environment around the club, getting everyone pulling in the same direction and he is getting the results now because of that. I still feel that the football he had you all playing on the first few seasons with you were better than what he tried to do last season. But this season has been a good mix so far and I can see you getting better as your players adjust to finally having a proper St at the top. I truly think the league is yours to win now especially after our team has imploded.

Hey gals and lands,
What do you all think if Martinelle. He's been scoring some important goals for us this season.

23 Oct 2025 12:31:42
Always been a fan. He lost form last season, and I'll admit, I wobbled slightly on whether we could be a productive part of the squad, and he's definitely proved that he can be.

23 Oct 2025 14:15:28
Have to hold my hands up here Mo, I wanted him gone so, I got egg on my face, will gladly eat humble pie for desert if he carries on scoring.

{Ed025's Note - i think you were right first time Bill, useful from the bench i would say mate but never a starter, just my opinion of course..

23 Oct 2025 14:48:48
I think he’s one who has benefited from our squad depth giving more competition! He’s upped his game and we can only benefit! COYG.

23 Oct 2025 16:25:27
I do think he upped his game this season as he can see its his last chance.
Yes Ed he is a very good squad player but I think he's proving to be more than just that for now. Hopefully he can keep up his form and even get more better.

{Ed025's Note - he has the ability Moe but he seems to flit in and out of games, he needs to get involved more for me and i know a lot goes through the right hand side with Saka but he could certainly do a lot more mate..

23 Oct 2025 17:32:40
Ed025, behave and don't make us break out the lemon emoji 😂.

{Ed025's Note - im not saying hes a lemon Sharpey, but he is certainly a light shade of lime mate.. :)

23 Oct 2025 17:56:13
I agree, the added competition seems to have helped Martinelli rediscover his early form.

25 Oct 2025 22:17:04
Hey G62, mad credit for predicting that liverpool blip would turn into a collapse.

26 Oct 2025 01:30:46
SW weirdly enough I was just thinking the same but couldn’t remember who said it! Bravo 62👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you got to love football ❤️🤍
Palace tomorrow…let’s extend the gap.

25 Oct 2025 00:55:54
Light shade of lime 😂😂😂, you really can crack a joke ed mate hahahha.
No, i see what you mean man but I think he started to do so a bit, and in all fairness he got us some really important goals so far so he's not shying out.

{Ed025's Note - great option from the bench i feel Moe, has pace and will get you the odd goal but just not a starter for me mate..

Hi All - bit busy currently but thought I'd post about the recent win. A good performance and drubbed the awkward squad 4-0 is very immpressive.

Raya has a rush of blood which in another fixture could prove costly. needs to calm down a bit, that said he is still performing well with a solid four in front of him.

For me the real test will be when Bayern visit town with an inform Harry Kane. That for me is a yardstick of where we currently are.

Also of note is look at the quality we have to come back in, quite remarkable really, for the first time in many years, true strength in depth.

23 Oct 2025 18:03:48
Hi Banbury, totally agree on the squad strength mate.

Real last season and Athletico this season, these results were unimaginable as little as a year ago. The Bayern game will be interesting and a very exciting prospect as are all big games nowadays👍👍👍.

25 Oct 2025 02:00:26
Agree Raya had a huge brain fart but that's the first I remember from him in years. The manager will be chewing his ear off for that, probably an aberration.

Ed01, was there a quick roundup this week that I missed?

{Ed001's Note - no mate, my parents are here, not been able to watch (or mostly hear) all the games or to type anything up as we have been out and about all the time, sorry. Back to normal soon, as they are going home on the 27th.}

22 Oct 2025 15:16:20
Please tell them they have been a major inconvenience to me.

{Ed001's Note - I tell them that they are a major inconvenience, in not so many words, all the time. I will happily point out that they are now inconveniencing everyone else as well!}

22 Oct 2025 16:41:19
Don't you dare Ed! Lol 😉 😜.

{Ed001's Note - too late Sally. It's ok, they are old and will have forgotten by now.}

22 Oct 2025 17:43:24
Hopefully you got them to give you your Christmas presents before you were honest with them.

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, they got me a robot vacuum cleaner (mainly because we found a shop selling them for about 20 quid). It is great, just set Rob-E off in the morning and leave him to do the flat while we do other stuff.}

22 Oct 2025 18:41:53
20 quid? I looked at getting one, mainly because I know the missus would trip over it, and they are extortionate.

Are they coming back for xmas or are you heading home?

{Ed001's Note - yeah, it was a good price - listed at over 800 on Amazon in the UK. The one they got me was a little more expensive, as they were feeling flush, still a lot less than 40 quid though and listed on Amazon at over a grand. You can get bargains here if you avoid the tourist areas.

I doubt we will spend Xmas together this year. It is too expensive at that time to fly. This is their second trip out this year though, they love the area I am in now - my balcony overlooks the training pitches for the local football team's academy and it is just a case of crossing the road to take in a game. We went to the Asian Champions League match last night and it was free entry for normal tickets, you only pay for premium or hospitality seats.

When you next visiting the region mate?}

22 Oct 2025 20:02:05
I've been doing all my holidaying local lately because the dog won't do kennels. So it's all dog friendly, out in the boonies stuff for me, and frankly, I've been loving it. Pity it's more expensive than a holiday abroad or I'd do more of them per year.

If I'm out your way though, I'll definitely give you a shout. I'm not drinking these days so we can both do teas.

{Ed001's Note - can't beat a nice a karak chai mate.}
