If the shoe fits...

"Where you off, babes?" "I'm just taking the wee fellas for a bit of fresh air." "Keep an eye on them, Ed." "Don't worry, darling, I'll keep them on a tight leash. They'll be no bother."

Not last night anyway.

Wait, @LongTimeAdmirer is @Gemmill?!!!!

Yep. I mean in Arteta's case, they were talking before the game about how there is a rivalry between him and Howe. No there fucking isn't man, there's a rivalry on Arteta's side for sure, but to imagine that Howe gives the guy any more thought than any other manager is nonsense. So in this case, while I totally agree with the Leeds point, I would also say that Arteta himself psychologically hinders his team in this fixture because he has no chill whatsoever, and because his players will know how much getting shown up by us bothers him. The reality is Howe cooked him alive with a perfectly executed gameplan that Arteta didn't anticipate. He did not expect us to attack them. He had no answer for it. That should have been his post match interview. That might have relieved some pressure on his players. "Yeah we played well but I failed to anticipate that Newcastle would attack us so willingly, we don't see that very often at home and it's something I will definitely be more aware of in future." How fucking hard would that have been.

I'd missed this having leapt out of my chair to do a round around the house :

If this is the match that ends this run I’ll be fucking fuming. 2-0 us

It was over 2.5 years ago but could have well been last night. Always worth another watch.

Dazzler the deity.

LTA, struggling to scrape the bottom of the barrel in every post Time to pack it in Ibrahim… hembarrassing.

Was reading their forums and it was enjoyable stuff tbh. Highlights: 1 - Arteta is finished. 2 - Havertz is a joke. 3 - They need Isak. 4 - They hate Gordon, but they want to sign him too. 5 - One of them is 17 stone and could beat up Joelinton. 6 - They were hugely insulted when we subbed Isak off and thought Howe was dissing Arteta. 7 - They think Odegard is finished because he's now a father. 8 - Some of them did admit they played well but that we were better with our gameplan. That if they play like that at the weekend, they beat Man Utd. 9 - They are literally Stoke but not as good at it. Some oddly self aware takes mixed with some weirdness

The slag that interviewed him started the interview by setting him at ease about how they had nearly 3 xG. I mean fucking hell love, the bloke has just watched his team lose 2 nil, never really look like scoring in a 25 minute period where we just let them have the ball, and your first thought is to pat him on the back for all of his lovely xG. He loved it as well. Straight into a little smile. Set the scene for him to spend the next few minutes being a little classless cunt.

Arteta is another one who Eddie has figured out. Like Emery and Ten H-Egg before him. Tindall dedicates himself to winding up the opposition managers so Eddie can calmly outfox them without breaking a sweat. It's dastardly. And I love it. The fact we scored from a free kick lumped forward was the most amusing part. We're a team that plays football. We're not the media-darling's version of a Fat Sam team, i.e., 'set piece masters' v boring football, 'game management' v time wasting gamesmanship. Then we score against them from a long hoof. Score again for the lols. Switch our formation to a literal 5-5-0 and just run a training drill for the last 30 minutes to save the legs. Tindall should turn up to the home leg with ten wrist watches on each arm.

Really enjoyed watching Arteta's interview. We didn't deserve it, two very deflected goals. Apparently what we do is to put balls in that bounce around and cause chaos and they just bounce lucky for us. He thinks he's being clever and getting little digs in, but he's not, everyone can see him for what he is, and most importantly mate, 2 nil. We've beaten you again. You've just got to enjoy what a prick he is.

Just finished watching the 2nd half- fuck me that was awesome. Easily the best performance this season. Isak’s movement on and off the ball was unreal- his initial pass out to Murphy for the 2nd was just superb. Gordon was just on the top of his game, I understand totally why he came off, but I was gutted he did because I was enjoying watching him so much. Burn, Livramento, Botman and Dubs were all full Gandalf- “ Ye shall not pass!” Hall, Murphy, Big and Little Joe, every single player that wore that shirt out there today was fucking outstanding. Special mention to Sir Les, who was punditting with Wright, and was equally relentless in giving us the credit we deserve- pointing out the foul on Isak when they questioned his little shove for his goal. Top man Top team Top manager. Arteta? … FEWWWWWWWM!

I vote Dazzler has to lose 2 in a row to cede control.

Not on either, I'm only on WhatsApp by peer pressure and even then I mute notifications most of the time for similar reasons to Wykiki. Women ✅ Crocs ✅ Women in crocs ✅

Toontastic Cluedo Dazzler did it, with a jammy dodger in the Anthony Gordon thread.

I once had a lass ask me who Arnie Watson was, as the ground was singing “ Are you watching, sun-derr-land?” Professor of Calculus compared to Keith.

I knew a woman who went to SJP in the days of Robson, Platinum club, purely for the social aspect (drink). She only knew two players - Shearer and Given. She once asked me why "they" keep singing "Sore knees". "Erm, you mean Geordies?". She was more clued up than this fucker.

Tbf to Wykiki, if you’re not used to the Geordie accent it can sound like a forrin language… (… wykiki, I’m throwing you a lifeline here mate )

Was thinking about this last night but my dad has often said that Leeds in the 70s won a lot less than they should have because they were so disliked. So even in meaningless games for the opposition, they tried their hearts out. Obviously that was a different era and that was a thuggish Leeds team even by the standards of back then. But Arsenal are so dislikable in a different way. Arteta is such a fucking graceless, classless wanker. Their players are snide, soft, preening pricks. And the amount of entitled, ridiculous fam blud, you feel me, bro? Supporters they have is off the charts

The thing Benidorm Brendan needs to bear in mind as well is that we weren't rocked back by them in that second half. We made the proactive decision to move to two banks of 5 and challenge them to break us down, and they couldn't. That's Howe out manoeuvring him again. It's not us hanging on. So the vain prick can admire his xG and the respective total shots of each team, but the fact is we backed them to fail to convert in that last 20 minutes and we let them rack up those shots to do it, and we were right. I'd be embarrassed listening to the stuff he comes out with if I was an Arsenal fan.

We need tindall to bring out some of these balls for the return leg 😀

He's absolutely one of these people who just cannot be graceful in defeat. Basically puts our goals down to chaos, deflections and luck, while his own team were comfortably the ones deserving of the win apparently. Absolute fucking weapon of a man. Deserves all the failure he delivers.

It's like a remake of an old kids racist dittie; Mumbai Jap's eye Glue your knob You're going to die. (I've reported myself).

Judge a man by the company he keeps, two absolute frauds together

Fuck me I almost died I was eating a jammy dodger, opened this thread up , saw this started to laugh, swallowed half a biscuit and started chocking

Problem I had was I added Bindipper from work on it and I was getting 30+ reels a day from people farting down tubes, to cats fighting with turtles on it. I blocked him and then he got in a huff

Yes, but you are ignoring the the most important metrics illustrated below:

Assume that's bigger than mine. Rich cunt.

@Gemmill

Hope so. Hitler lost and blew his own brains out in a hole in the ground.

Up until the start of this season he always looked like a centre mid covering left back to me. His improvement since the start of the season is Joelinton-esque IMO. He's comfortably the best English left back now, I don't even think it's remotely close.

It's true mind. Once upon a time we'd have had a new thread for every single thought that popped into someone's mind, nowadays it's a badge of honour to dredge up and revive an old topic, ideally from pre-2010 if possible.

I'm actually dreading old ricochet feet being back in the side 😳

No dressing room photo because it's only half time, no over exuberant celebrations, I love the focus of this team.

the mackems have got a thread started on isak..... https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/isak.1647450/ fair play to them, most acknowledging that he's fucking tremendous whilst pinning all their hopes on him fucking off to a 'big' club. have searched the 'isak' thread on here hoping to find the quote from when keith put his thinking cap on, mused over us signing him and came to the conclusion he was £60m's worth of shite. unsurprisingly he's completely missing from the thread over there.

The first to respond to your ewok gif was ewerk, makes you think !

Tbf, that’s probably in case the FIL nips round for a quick shite.

Ohhh that odegaard take sounds oddly familiar. Cant quite place why though

One of the most enjoyable matches I’ve ever been to. I thought Joelinton and Dan Burn were phenomenal, as was everyone else. Isak was the best player on the pitch while he was on.

This thread has aged about as well as the thread starter’s view of Gordon

We’ll probably get knocked out of the FA Cup by Bromley now. 😂
