Pre-Match View From Arsenal — The View From

“I’m a huge fan of United’s manager Chris Wilder and for me he’s one of the most innovative but successful managers in the country today. I’ve watched them most weeks and I’ve been impressed with how well they’ve transitioned to the top flight. Against similar level opposition they play on the...

”poor quality side” (tick)
”somewhat physical” (tick)
“organised” (tick)
”play with passion” (tick)
”routine win for us” (tick)
“Sheffield” (tick)
”relegation fodder” (tick)
”will raise their game” (tick)

2-0 United.

Nice one Roy. At least some of them have actually watched us play, in forming their opinion, which is quite novel.

 

[BettingBlade]

Probably the most spot on comments of the season so far...if not ever?

thanks as always Roy.

 

[Cheesebored]

If Liam Brady's injured they're fucked.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Would settle for a 1-1,who would have thought they would be reading that two months ago, still the obligatory physical comment, as always thanks for your efforts Roy.

 

[Houso]

Not happy with this.

Where's the "We're gonna hammer those dirty northern monkeys."

6/10 would not read again.

 

[BigBed]

Couple of bellend views, but on the whole, not a bad view from the Arsenal fans, and I've never had anything against Arsenal, apart from them beating us to many times, I know they're southern, but they aren't the worst of them, and atleast they don the correct colours!

Cheers Roy, top job as always!!

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Nothing against Arsenal as a football club but my god their fans are insufferable, wet, weak minded, fickle pieces of bellendria. All that Wenger in, Wenger out bollocks showed how far away they are from being remotely down to earth. They mirror how I feel for Extinction Rebellion protesters.

“Sheffield UNITED ffs. I’m picking people up on this, you’re not the only. Two teams in Sheffield so we should call them by their full name”

Definitely written by someone from this forum.

 

[Carlton Blade]

They have lots of attacking quality and I suspect we (fans) are under rating that. 1 goal win either way with them being slight favourites as we've only scored 2 in our 4 home games

 

[Carlton Blade]

Also, I'm pretty sure Arsenal were the only team we didn't beat in the top division under Bassett?

 

[FleaPitBlade]

Arsenal confuse me. I get the frustrations of a fanbase weaned on Henry, Viera and Bergkamp but they're top of the 'Everyone Else' league and yet it's all doom and gloom.

If they're expecting more they've only themselves to blame for a shortfall.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Their pessimism makes me worried.

 

[JPBrods]

Merci Roy.

Yeah there's always someone on here claiming a comment is from an undercover pig so I think we can claim that one is from an undercover Blade.

Who'd have thought that in all the views from this season that Arsenal would be one of the worst for not fancying it.

Watford had more negative comments but also more positive.

 

[snb69]

Early start today Roy? Worryingly balanced comments, a lot of pessimism for a team that sits third

 

[Gimli]

In the words of many a Sunday league player, it sounds like “they don’t want it boys!”

 

[Harry's Game]

Apart from a couple of the usual bollocks comments, which could be copied and pasted from every view from this season, it’s a decent selection of comments.

Off the top of my head I think Wimbledon as well.

Sure we beat them in the last season when Flo scored and threw Fashanu in the net. Could be wrong though.

Or this lad




"we’re **** away but with Auba we can score a goal or two” sums it up for me. Any team with Aubameyeng in is dangerous. He's been arguably the difference between them being a top 6 side, or in the Everton/Leicester/West Ham mix over the last 18 months. Obviously they have other decent players but no names that particularly worry me.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Only set of fans more negative and fickle than us!!

 

[The Crab]

Cheers Roy

Teams we played in the top flight in the 4 Bassett years and did not beat:

Arsenal (D4, L4)
Crystal Palace (D1, L5)
Blackburn Rovers (D1, L3)

 

[Revolution]

Yes, we won that game 2-1.

Cheers Roy - worryingly balanced albeit with the nominal ‘physical’ comment!
