Who did you consider the star of 12/13?This is also the worst Arsenal side I have seen. No stars, boring football etc.

You might enjoy set piece FC mate, my Arsenal standards are higher.We scored 85 goals ffs and the guy is bored fml man! Yeah not much flair granted but 85 goals in the league, it cant be ignored!
Didn’t we sign Santi around then? He was a legit top Spanish baller.Who did you consider the star of 12/13?
You hated himDidn’t we sign Santi around then? He was a legit top Spanish baller.
No I never, I just don’t like Özil comparisons. Think we signed Nacho around then, is any Arsenal LB currently better than him? No.You hated him

Those teams were built with pennies and over achieved. They actually won cups unlike this lot.Legit top Spanish baller? That description should only really fit Xavi, Iniesta and maybe at a push David Silva and Fabregas.
Cazorla played second fiddle to all of them in the national team. He was class but very much second best in the tier of Spanish midfielders.
We also got routinely spanked 4-0 by a Brendan Rodgers Liverpool side, 6-0 by Chelsea in Wenger’s 1000th game. If you genuinely think that team is better than our current one, not sure what to tell you tbh.
Come on, he got sick before an NLD and went off with dizziness and you never let that go.No I never, I just don’t like Özil comparisons. Think we signed Nacho around then, is any Arsenal LB currently better than him? No.
This team is dead. You enjoy watching us play like Stoke?
Because it’s true? Where is the lie? Dembele had my guy dizzy.Come on, he got sick before an NLD and went off with dizziness and you never let that go.
He was ill, and you let one game define his entire tenure here.Because it’s true? Where is the lie? Dembele had my guy dizzy.
The league is more physical, there are like athletes now. For years we got accused of being bullied, now its the other way. We need a couple of technical players and were golden.You might enjoy set piece FC mate, my Arsenal standards are higher.
The current league has maybe the worst set of players we’ve seen since the early 90’s maybe.The league is more physical, there are like athletes now. For years we got accused of being bullied, now its the other way. We need a couple of technical players and were golden.
I agree with you, but we needed to adapt.The current league has maybe the worst set of players we’ve seen since the early 90’s maybe.
All just athletes.
The league is poor, however you look at it. Quality of matches, star quality etc. You have the poorest Utd side ever who get battered every week but they are in contention for top 6.
This is also the worst Arsenal side I have seen. No stars, boring football etc.
They all finish second. If you just look at starting elevens, these teams are a cut above the rest this season but still behind City.How do you think Arsenal 2007/08, Chelsea 2007/08 and United 2007/08 compete this season?
Where do they finish do you think?
The rich teams in the mini super league at the top today play like machines, everything choreographed and micro managed down to the last kick. No room for flare, flicks and tricks. So it’s very difficult to compare with teams of yesteryear.They all finish second. If you just look at starting elevens, these teams are a cut above the rest this season but still behind City.
The most distance covered this year so far was 13.2 km by Doucoure. Rice is the highest for Arsenal at 12.29 km.The teams of yesteryear might be more enjoyable on the eye, but I think the skill set required to be a professional footballer today is higher (if you include athleticism). Every player on the pitch, starting with the keeper, now has to be technically adept, and every single player has to be physical and dominant in the duels.
I would be curious to see statistics about miles run etc over the years. I'm sure it has gone up.
