There's a really fascinating revisionism happening about some of Wenger's late teams because they played "entertaining football."

the only player the manager actually likes from last season's recruitment is Hincapié looool
This midfield oop is #bad. Bruno is doing the 5 thing of dropping into the defence.
Thank god Donny Berta looked for financial discipline* in the market *got played
Thought Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard spoke very well on this too.
Appreciate Rebecca chiming in with the broader context on the heels of the announcers being like “nothing fraudulent about the play on the field today”… as if this current squad exists in a historical vacuum?
Talking about things like “siege mentality” and a “difficult week” is so disingenuous. They haven’t lost a player to injury or suffered some unfortunate hardship. They’ve been found to have broken the rules of the competition 114 times. Sky’s reaction is not surprising but hugely disappointing.
Lance Armstrong remains an outstanding cyclist.
"Manchester City remain an outstanding football team" Oh, is that fucking so? Fuck me.
Man City were on just 0.15 xG and 4 shots in total before the red card.
Hard to devise a better metaphor for the past decade and a half of Premier League football than Man City winning while playing with an extra man.
Can't say Leeds don't deserve that. Their right hand side has been dangerous all game.
Attack isn't at the level it needs to be, we all know it except for Andrea Berta.
attack flatlines after the subs again
Man City 4 (0.8)-(1.4) 2 Arsenal
I can tell when people don't actually watch us every week because they're like, 'it's not that bad'. This is headed towards (if it isn't already) end stage Montemurro/Eidevall levels of bad. League season is done 4 games in.
Hopefully Slegers does the honourable thing as Jonas did
just remembered jonas didn’t even get sacked #dark
Dominance without clearing clear chances is a feature not a bug of Slegersball.
friendship with AWFC OVER. portland thorns are once again my best friends
Arsenal Women haven't taken maximum points from their first three games since 2022-23.
Not really a good enough result. Title chances probably all but over unless they beat Chelsea and City away. What a magic.
hope the person who painted Jonas Out next to the stadium still has their paint handy
4 hours without a goal, conceding that goal. This is end of project stuff.
Think it's largely a product of how we defend tbh rather than anything else.
Three of the four goals Arsenal have conceded this season have been from shots outside the box. Last season 22% of the goals they shipped in the Premier League came from long range, with only Spurs conceding a higher percentage (23%). #BHAARS
