He’s a liability!

Still, super proud of the boys again. 10 men against Liverpool for most of the match and held out for a draw after they messed us around with their imaginary Covid cases and ‘threadbare squad’ last week! I said to my son I’d have taken a draw 11 vs 11. Going to the second leg next week. Was worried we would be starting 4-0 down, at least we still have a fighting chance! Heart was in my mouth for a good deal of the evening though. Not good for my blood pressure!

Looks like if you can't beat 'em join 'em!Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 7:06 pmBlooming Covid. Not sure how Liverpool got away with the postponement request for the league cup semi final Thursday given they always play a weaker team out of choice anyway, but I was going to that and now it’s had a knock on effect for the league game end of month that I was also going to. Thankfully I can make still both but I do feel for fans who have made travel arrangements from far away to get to matches. I know Bolton have been worse hit that way then Arsenal, and maybe it’s better then just cancelling the season completely but not sure if it carries on when all these league games will end up being played.

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Well, other teams have had games postponed for less and we played at the start of the season with shed loads of players off with Covid!! If the FA are being consistent they will grant it us but I’m willing to bet they won’t!Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 7:13 pmLooks like if you can't beat 'em join 'em!Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 7:06 pmBlooming Covid.

Off to Arsenal tonight. Nervous. Only got one central midfielder available still and pretty threadbare in other areas too. Could be a long and cold evening. ![🥶](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f976.svg)

Gabriel Jesus. Finally. Happy with this signing. Can’t score many less then Lacazette did last season so should improve our squad.
Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
He's a fab signing for you. But Spurs have recruited really well too ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Chelsea going to have to spend a lot of money to stay where they are though. And God knows with United. Can't see any of you challenging City or Liverpool though.

No, I don’t think anyone will come close to those 2 again next year. League of their own sadly. Funny to see how far United have fallen though.

I see Jack Wilshere has retired age 30. Shame for the lad. (Know he wasn't still at Arse, but seem like the best place forrit). Good luck to him, with whatever next.

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Yes, real shame all his injuries, could have been one of the greats. Hope he gets a coaching role of some kind at the club. We have helped him with training last few years so still lots of links there and he’s a gooner through and through so a real fan favourite still.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 3:53 pmI see Jack Wilshere has retired age 30.

Douglas Luiz scores direct from a corner for Villa against Arsenal. Now where have I seen that before? ![🤔](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f914.svg)

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
I’ll settle for 15/15 in the first 5 too even if they have been relatively ‘easy’ fixtures. Showing a bit of tenacity when we concede too. Definitely improvements from last year though I’m sure the bubble will burst at some point. Probably against United at the weekend!Worthy4England wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:21 pmNowt to beat at the minute!But I think you'd always settle for 9 out of 9 first three games....

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Exactly what I thought. Similar impediment to the goalkeeper but nothing untoward. I said at the time Dixon had no chance of getting it.Burnden Paddock wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 9:04 pmDouglas Luiz scores direct from a corner for Villa against Arsenal. Now where have I seen that before?![]()

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Is it not a foul though? I only saw it once and the Villa player isn’t trying to play the ball just block the Arsenal keeper from getting to it. Without the Villa player there who has little interest in the ball that’s not a goal….Gary the Enfield wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 11:28 pmExactly what I thought.

Not for me, no. Goalkeeper should have tickled his balls in a Vinny Jones stylee........BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 8:05 amIs it not a foul though?

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Probably not for me either but you seem to get fouls against the keeper for standing within 5 yards of them nowadays. So I’m sure someone is going to look at this and start instructing refs on it if Villa keep doing it. You could argue that it’s an impossible goal to stop if a keeper is blocked off like this and he can curl it in like that every time.Gary the Enfield wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 9:04 amNot for me, no.

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ever
Not sure in our case we were contending GK got fouled. Weren't we grumbling about whoever was scrabbling to get to the back post?
