City, Liverpool, etc. can't let United grow into a game. They're bad. You get up early on them and press. The sooner you're up 1-0 the sooner they quit. I think this goes for everyone. There really was zero reason they should go to Anfield and get a result, but The Premier League is the SEC with a bit more teeth. You really can't look past anyone week to week.

The table is the same as it was on Friday for the most part. Arsenal got a bit of a lifeline, but Christ are they shit to watch. Diving, moaning at the ref, no creativity, no guile, entitlement. Every set piece is a sexual assault of the opposing goalkeeper. WTF. They could wind up winning it.

City's drop off has made this a weird year in England. There are not many teams that are fun to watch. Liverpool is by far the most consistent squad to to this point. Chelsea fell off a bit recently. Arsenal have seven draws (??). IDK, Nottingham Forest?

Serie A has a three team race. Leverkusen is in the hunt in Germany. Could give a shit about La Liga.

Newcastle doing Arsenal 2-0 in the League Cup. Rather comfortably. Toon are in great form right now.

I think in life you get whatever you put in. I find Arsenal to be a very arrogant group, from the manager on down. They optimize it in every way, shape and form. Time wasters, rule breakers, shithousers, cry babies and they cry wolf about all of it week after week.

Arteta's gone and blamed the ball for their performance. Yes, the actual ball.

Unsure if he's a big MAGA guy but he did a Trump dance after a goal. Big deal.

When you think it can't get anymore ridiculous, it does.

What's sad is that nobody comes close to being as entertaining as Mourinho was. They all just sound like whiners and cunts. Arteta's Arsenal is at the top of the list right now.

I wonder if someone could make a list of all the excuses he has for losing.
The ball one was fantastic

Well it's obvious what Arsenal need, another CB that can play LB that can play CM, forget the striker position, who needs those anymore

Wouldn't assume anyone's politics from doing a meme celebration other than Jon Jones lol.

I would say Nick Bosa but we already knew lmao.

Tottenham go to extra time in the FA Cup with National League's Tamworth.

Tamworth has part time players, including a 32 year old plumber.

Tamworth ran out of gas and conceded all three goals in the extra 30 minutes. It was pretty cool to watch all things considered.

Arsenal are truly terrible to watch... Arteta is the Spanish Tony Pulis. That felt like rugby watching them take 3 minutes to set up every free kick.

Not for me! Especially with their chance at the end of regulation lol. On to the NLD Wednesday.

I don't really understand it, TBH. And the excuse, though there are many, is they have no striker. Someone should have perhaps considered this before they went and spent $100M on Declan Rice.

Put Haaland, Mbappe, Isak or whomever into this team right now. They'll all be stifled. There is no creativity, no guile, nothing. They time waste, dive, moan and play for set pieces. Then Arteta makes a fool of himself talking to the media and he's nowhere close to being entertaining about it like Mourinho was.

I've seen the Tony Pulis comp now more than once. It isn't far off.

Highly doubtful. 6 points behind Liverpool who have a game in hand and a wide GD on their side. 3 points today would've made it interesting.
Those two centerbacks are outstanding. The keeper had quite a game.

They got run ragged the second half. I don't know that they have the gas to go all the way, but they're a good side.

They had some players have tremendous years, but Kante was the key. He moves to Chelsea after that season with Leicester and Chelsea wins the title.

That guy was incredible.
