    I don't get the lack of airtime for PL games. I understand the time difference and all but PL games are approaching NBA,NHL and MLB ratings.

    Young Arsenal squad, inexperienced in big games. Learning experience for sure but not out of it at all.

    You've got a good side, but Arteta is mentally unraveling IMO. It's like watching Keegan in 1996 at NUFC. He's too emotional and it's negatively affecting his young, inexperienced side.

    Perhaps, but I think it's more of him being stubborn like Wenger and unwilling to adjust his style. I see a lot of pissed off Gooners on twitter, blaming the transfer window. I don't blame that at all. Trossard and Jorginho are adequate signings considering their roles as backups. I put this one on a younger manger AND squad. They need to get their confidence back ASAP. Always going to be growing pains.

    Arteta is far too wound up. He's on the touchline ranting and raving, acting the cunt. He's far too wound up and it's affecting his players. They'll come round in time, if Latina are learned. There's a lot of inexperience there.

    You've got a good side. If this isn't the year, next could well be. Clear progress is a good thing.

    It's completely strategical by NBC/Universal. They give us most of the good matches on USA but they won't give them all to us. When they put a Manchester or North London derby on Peacock only, they're just "reminding" holdouts like me that, "Hey, Peacock's only a few more bucks a month and you COULD be watching this match right now."

    They rope in the holdouts little by little but I say they can go fuck themselves.

    Arteta has always been like that, especially as a manager . People slated him when he actually played for Arsenal but he fought for the cannon and represented us well. He will improve as a manager, already has. Yes, we went 0-1-2 over the past three games but only have been outplayed by City. Should've gotten 3 points vs Brentford. That Everton game, they deserved it but it was still winnable. The squad and manager have to learn from this. They had at least 4 stretches of 3 bad games in a row last season. This is the first time for that in the current season. Lots of doom and gloom, but we are still in it.

    I can see why you would avoid paying. I just accepted it as a price for watching Arsenal, and now it's a bonus that I can watch WWE stuff. I subscribed to WWE network when it was a standalone so basically it's free for me now. The first few years of following Arsenal was super rough as I had to find a stream for each game. I was so happy when NBC picked up the PL. They are doing fine but could be doing so much more for the sport.

    Arsenal 64% possession. 10 shots, 1 on target.

    City 36% possession. 9 shots, 6 on target.

    Just looking at him grabbing the football etc on the sidelines. Same with Klopp ...it works great on the incline, but it's disastrous on a decline.

    Scrappy win by Arsenal. Nervy all the way through. Always a close tough game before you get back to winning.

    I think that was a very good late win.but Arsenal look vulnerable now....making harder and harder work of previously routine affairs.

    That's what a drop of form is. Players then lose confidence and make mistakes. Winning is huge to breaking the streak and turning it around. The 2nd half was a way better effort than the past few games combined. Deserved win.

    Yeah I know but you don't have to sit through weeks and weeks of being beaten by gay seaside resort towns or people who play in stadiums named after spurious patents.

    All over a moment of madness. It's not like he needed to even do it, I've seen Salah muck up easier "chances". It's a dumb rule. Clean a guy out, yellow card. Handle outside your box, red. Daft....I saw the Villa keeper clearly handle outside his box Vs Arsenal while taking a GK and there was nought done..
