  1. we are hosting the world cup in less than a year and we don’t even have a clue what kind of team we have. who’s really invested, who really cares, who is actually proud to represent the USMNT, who takes the MNT as seriously as they do their club football, hell, we don’t even have a solid starting xi with defined roles. this team and organization are so disjointed that taylor twellman is wiping the floor with them.
  2. we haven’t been getting our asses kicked by panama and canada because they have more talent than we do.
  3. welp, never mind. whu offside by an inch or two.
  4. 2-1 already. fun match.
  5. not just that, but it took like five years for it to be revealed that “motown” was morgantown, and then when it was revealed he acted like it was everyone else who was crazy for thinking that he’s from detroit. he’s a special guy.
  6. apropos of nothing i nearly came here yesterday to ask: “david raya is a top _ keeper in the epl”, with my answer being top two. for me only allison is better. shot stopping, owning the box, distribution- he really does it all. best keeper arsenal has had during my 15 years as a supporter.

    the hoh wall comp is happening now on P+.
  12. i’ve seen a bunch of videos today of CP fans all thanking eze and wishing him well, happy that he’s making the step up and playing champions league football, several of them relieved that it’s Arsenal and not tottenham.

  14. also no i’m not done. you make a great point about Chambo being our largest ever sum for a player sold. that’s how it was before arteta. we not only lost our best players in their prime (cesc, nasri, rvp, song, vermaelen, that’s literally three consecutive club captains leaving arsenal in their prime), the good players we did sign (santi, alexis, ozil, auba, laca, etc) were all losing value by the minute from the time that we signed them. it was the stupidest model for winning you could imagine. i still don’t know how wenger was so unrelentingly successful under those circumstances. but look at us now. saliba, gabriel, saka, rice, odegaard, raya, martinelli, MLS, nwaneri, dowman, et al. all of them will either stay here through their entire primes, and/or be sold for 5x, 10x, 50x what we paid for them. i would never in a million billion years trade what arteta has done for this club and its future for an alphabet soup cup trophy. you guys have completely lost the plot, but you’ve given me every reason to talk about how amazingly better everything is at arsenal since arteta took over, and for that, i thank you.
  15. if you just went by reading these boards you’d swear that arsenal fc is insane for not having already fired arteta, and that tottenham was insane to sack ange because tRoPHi3z!!!!! i cannot even explain to you how vastly superior arsenal is now compared to where we were when arteta took over, beyond which is the fact that 85% of our squad are in/approaching their early prime and are locked down long term. literally only a PL or CL title could make his first five years here any better. we are the absolute inverse of what we were when he showed up, and thank god. when he showed up, every match against the likes of city, chelsea, and united felt like an inevitable bloodbath, a match that we had zero shot in. now those teams can’t even beat us for years running, and im supposed to be upset with mikel arteta, and he’s supposedly under pressure this year, as if it’s a zero sum game where only trophies matter. i can’t count the number of y’all whom i otherwise respect, who have gone full retard when it comes to downplaying anything gnat arsenal/arteta does. full retard.
  16. lol, people on this forum seriously act like arteta is in hot water. “put up or shut up year”. as if winning the fa cup in his first year, taking over an arsenal team that was in shambles and out of europe with no valuable players to sell and turning that into a team that’s finished second three years in a row, a team that is now chock full of some of europe’s most valuable players, a team that just got done trouncing real madrid on its way to a very impressive ucl semifinal run, and most importantly and notably, taking a team that regularly lost 8-2, 6-1, and 4-0 to the “big six” and turned it into this: is “literally nothing impressive”. i don’t know how to break this to y’all, but arteta is in as much hot water at arsenal as sark is at Texas, and this season for Arteta is as much of a “put up or shut up” year for arteta as this UT football season is for Sark. in fact in fact Sark is probably the best analog for arteta in all of world sports. but yeah, he’d better win the league lest he be fired!!! lol. i would pay money if i could somehow get through all of your thick candy shells and allow you to see for yourselves how insanely petty and delusional y’all sound when you say that arteta has done nothing impressive at arsenal, or insinuate that his job is even remotely in trouble. it’s 100% crazy talk.
  17. the yankees have three errors in the second inning. annnnd as i type this to make fun of them david hamilton, who just got called back up, gets picked off at third while not paying attention. ugliest inning of baseball i’ve watched this year.
  18. why are they not showing drunken nights out and bus hookups anymore? some of the most legendary clips have come from the bus. off the top of my head: brad’s ultimate wedgie, cara doing hand stuff with that twin, tony and camila slobbering all over each other, and jordan telling jemmye she looks like she has downs. that’s just off the top of my head. sucks to know that this kind of stuff is still happening, but mtv just doesn’t want to show it for some reason.
