Random Arsenal stuff

I was watching in an Irish pub close to where I lived at the time. It was packed with people, but everybody was there for Barcelona - Altetico Madrid that took place at the same time and was the title decider (if I remember correctly). All screens were showing La Liga, only one TV in the corner had the FA Cup on. I was there with a mate, and only two other people were watching. They turned out to be Hull supporters, and I am still convinced they were the only two Hull supporting people in the country in that moment. They were (rightly so) very smug when they went 2-0 up. Made sure to rub it in when we went on to win it. Cunts.

Sorry, I’m never going to let the club off the hook for this horror show

That whole game was so small time and embarrassing.

Rather just purge it from memory. We should have known we would play pathetic after that pathetic tifo

Me too! It was my first FA Cup Final and on my birthday too! An emotional roller coaster of a match. I was on my own for the match but sitting with an Italian family. I sat next to the grandmother (who wanted to keep giving me food before the start of the match) and the grandad (who couldn’t speak English that well). The grandmother was a legend…I’ve never heard swearing like it at a football match when we went 2-0 down, but it was the most amazing experience when we won and they made me feel like one of the family at the end of the match. One of those very special cup final experiences that I will never forget!

Worth a look again.
We are not winning it without Santi’s freekick. Santi was love.

Ffs that’s the “coreography” we ended up with?

:arteta:

Pathetic

The club really screwed us with that, we could’ve had a half decent effort, even if the images were a bit garbage, but they blocked it and gave us grannies shower curtain :sob:

In other news I was shopping on the weekend in Hamburg and decided to help them improve the store:

Well to be fair the cannon was nicely aimed

I thought those proposed tifos were a bit cringe, but fuck me, if I knew what the club were gonna do instead I’d have been 100% behind any of the multiple designs suggested.

Doing nothing would have been better that this

So, we had no player reach double digits for goals last season, with Havertz leading with 9 goals.
Are we the first team in history to finish second without a single player in double figures?

Possibly but it’s difficult to get more than 9 goals when all of our attackers each spent months on the treatment table.

It’s a great stat for those who prefer to ignore context and want to poke fun at Arsenal.

Slight correction for accuracy, that stat is League only, multiple players hit double digits in all comps.

I’m slightly irked by the graphic includes 4 of 6 players in the 24/25 kit and then the new kit for Saka and Dec. And I’ve not read the rest of the tweet because of this.
