Arteta’s football philosophy: very brief clip of Everton vs Man U.

Fucking weapon.

Phil McNulty is one of the main BBC writers and I always thought he’s quite pro-Arsenal compared to others. A nice defence piece here

BBC News - In defence of Arsenal - is criticism of Premier League leaders unfair? - BBC Sport

Apparently we’re ‘cheats’ now:

EDIT: It’s Obi Mikel being a twat as usual.

If we do win the league, I see this team massively dropping off next season in its current state.

Yeah, we look night and day different from the first half of the season. Like we’re just absolutely winging it. We look far more comfortable playing in Europe.

Yeah this side just doesn’t have the fear factor of other PL winners.

We invite a ton of pressure and give teams hope. The whole set piece thing is inviting teams to give us their best game when they should be planning holidays.

We need to attack more, hate this 1-0 and then sitting back inviting pressure :eyes:!?

It doesn’t make any sense either. Invite pressure, invite nerves, invite mistakes.

Have a quick 2 minute read of a Newcastle fan criticising him for having loads of flair players and being a negative as fuck useless manager with them

These types love defensive football until Arsenal started doing well with it.

Getting bored of this…

Would Pardew prefer a cheating club like Man City to win the title?

He’s just the latest in a long line of attention seekers jumping on the boring set piece Arsenal bandwagon.

We’re reaching a another historical point of flex at this point.

This team is being treated as the boogeyman of set pieces and dark arts and we’ve got fans, media and even managers advocating for the laws of football to change in order to stop us.
Are we clocking this? :sob::pinched_fingers:

This outcry and rampage at every little thing Arsenal does is glorious to see.

Surely this could be a sign that we are back?

I could very much get used to this if we deliver silverware as a result and my BP wasn’t so high every game lol.

Also, us being top of the league for the entire season and finishing top 2 four seasons in a row.

You play the game to win lol… these guys crack me up…

I remember a LONG time ago talking to a coach about scoring a goal (maybe it was a scrappy, crappy goal, can’t remember)… he just said “listen, when you talk about this later, no one knows it wasn’t an upper 90 screamer from outside the box - just get the goal”.

A Prem League title is hard as fuck and over 38 games and i see it the same way - just find a way… it is damn impressive.. and as one of the other videos showed on here, we are SECOND in open play goals… and first in goals against… we are not just relying on set pieces, even if they have been hugely important to us.. besides that, THEY ARE FUCKING PART OF THE GAME.
