Draw Premier League: Arsenal 2 - 2 Fulham | Saturday 26th August | KO: 15:00 BST

Prediction

Arsenal 3-0 Fulham

 

[Sapient Hawk]

It's the third game mate , as long as we start moving by October it's all good .

I don't see it at all. It's a top 4 battle that's going to be a right scrap.

 

[Dokaka]

This is on Arteta. We are going to see a lot of his apologists go quiet. He is below par. I would trade him today for the guy Sp.rs have or any top team honestly. People were slagging Moyes, Moyes in a fraction Mik’s budget has as many major trophies. Mik is a below average manager and a genius self promoter.

Nah **** off with this ****, we've spent loads of money and almost got ****ing relegated. You keep bigging up other managers but once they're found out you conveniently just start pulling out new names.

You were desperate for Potter and he turned Chelsea into the biggest joke in the country. You know sweet **** all about ball and just want to vent and rage for attention.

We ****ing know you hate Lord Lego Hair, but don't pretend like you in any way know what the better alternative is. If it was up to you, a spineless Graham Potter would be in charge and you'd be sitting in mid-table with a disgruntled team and absolutely no hope.

 

[Riou]

Maybe in one of the behind the scenes friendlies we played...but in the league?

**** off Mikel

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

That's damning on Ramsdale

Maybe first goal he should just kept his goal and not panic but he saved us a point at the end he not perfect that why raya is here

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Nevermind that, they drew at home to Lampard’s Everton.

Yet swatted them aside at Goodison Park where we were utterly dominated.

By the way this is great stuff that everyone’s expectations are to win every game and challenge for the title. Fans are now there which is great.

However the hyperbole is outrageous and probably won’t change until we’ve won a title under Mikel. Bit like a guy who’s never had sex, we seem to flap and get really nervous when it matters.

Need to do the deed, if that means we start slowly I’m here for it.

[Farzad Stoned]

Curious you would say that? Are you a Sp**s fan deep under cover?

Wtf you talking about? I just hate Arteta. What he is doing with Gabriel is criminal. He is a bad manager I don’t rate him and want him out of my club. If i was a Sp.rs fan i would want him here for 20 years I wouldn’t want him fired. We lost the league because of him biggest spenders in World football on transfers under him and this is his idea of a lineup. It is a joke wrapped up in a nightmare.

Wasn’t Lampard managing tho…they were basically safe by then after battering Brighton 5-1

We were better he not wrong last season we basically needed late minute winner from Gabriel after Gabriel gift them the lead.

Imo its similar story of last season nothing changed

If we've not got our act together & are still ****ing around with TP at RB & continue to banish one of our most reliable players in Gabriel, we'll be on the backfoot & playing catchup

AM claiming the title run is off because of a draw in august

Yeah these kind of results happen but just like city do we have to step up in other big games to compensate for this.

I was not counting on you having a rebuttal for my rebuttal.

Never thought I'd actually get angrier as the evening grew darker

 

[MacGyver]

Jesus Christ. You don't pass the ball to air. It's that simple. At any level of football if you turn and see nobody there you keep the ball or move to your 2nd option. You don't just pass to air.

not saying saka wasn't at fault as well - he wasn't intending to pass it to partey though. just the wrong time for a defender leave his man free on goal to bomb forward - basic kindergarten stuff

Fulham should have beaten us today, AFTER going down to 10 men and being 2-1 down.

This season has been much worse than last in terms of performances so far, bar the Community Shield game.

Dreadful, dreadful first half; second merely bad. That five-forward thing, when it works, pushes the game into their area, for sure, but also condenses 18 players in such a way that we lose all speed, all surprise, all space and it's even more mentally exhausting for us than for them. Our attackers constantly get into each others' places, forfeit responsability and prefer to take yet another pass. Games are turning slow by design. Where last season we were ruthless, ravaging dogs, overwhelming opposition with our intensity, this year we're toothless and complacent. The left side is such a mess, the Martinelli-Havertz-(Nketiah/Trossard) connection so non-existent, that we had to resort to Ødegaard-Saka passes for the whole first half, while having their whole team already pinned into their area. Swap Xhaka with Rice and we have a team at least as good as last season's. But the spirit, strategy and mentality have gone way, way down.

Was it ever on? Not convinced we've done enough in the market to bridge the gap, especially now with Timber gone. We have less bodies in defence and Arteta is high on shrooms.

We had 19 shots and 11 on target, why should Fulham have beaten us? Empty statements like that are so irritating.

Reactionary @Riou is always like this, will come back to his optimistic state in a few days
