Can we just go home now?

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
Arsenal are an elite side, but what has happened to us? Absolutely clueless. Luton and Bournemouth can rip us apart, Arsenal should be aiming for 5 minimum here.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
Turned off after the first goal - cba watching us get pumped by those horrid cunts
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
This is seriously scary
We look absolutely terrifyingly weak
Nothing in midfield whatsoever

Oh well, helps make sure we don’t have to bother with the **** conference league next season…
Would rather have no Europe and have a proper go at top 5 again.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
Everyone looks terrified in possession. Go back to PSG away where we were still passing the ball around the back in triangles and compare it to this and it's insane.

We have been on relegation form for months, it's been coming. Hopefully questions start actually being asked now rather than excuses being made for the absolute s**** we are seeing every week.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
This. So lightweight without Big Joe. Like teams have freedom in the middle to steam roll us and cut us apart. This slow and aging back four needs protection.. we need a peak Tiote or Kante type DM to hover all the dirty work. Longstaff is not the answer that's for sure. Miley still too inexperienced and learning his trade. Bruno as much as he is world class can't do it all himself. Did we really think we'll have a chance against a potential title winning Arsenal side here? Even with a fully fit starting elven we would have struggled (Pope/Big Joe/Willock).. apart from that the team is strong enough but unfortunately not good enough yet to a handle a elite team like Arsenal. They are levels above us and it shows. Don't matter if Burn started or not. Onto the next game.. Blackburn away in the cup could define our season! Must win!seaside nipper wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:28 pmThis is seriously scary

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
The only player to come out of this half with any credit is Karius. Every single outfield player has been absolutely useless. I’ve always backed Howe, and we are playing a title contender, but this is peak Bruce.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
This is complete hyperbole though, we've been 6th-10th since September. It's not good enough, but it's miles from relegation form. We haven't lost in our last 5.Don Sholeone wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:36 pmWe have been on relegation form for months, it's been coming.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
We have been near the bottom end of the leagues form table for a while, December and January we were actually bottom for a good while.
Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
We were briefly on relegation form around New Year isn't the same as "relegation form for months" though is it? If it is we're doing bloody well to be top half.
Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
This. It's not been great but it's not been that terrible either. The Tonali scandal and injuries to key players have messed up our season.. if we had some of those players more fit especially Isak/Wilson we would have gotten more points and definitely been closer to the top four than we are now. Even the top 6 is looking unlikely as we're 7 points off and even though United are very inconsistent they will somehow pick up points even if they don't play great.. Brighton could sneak in there if there consistency improves too. I would rather end 8th / 9th than end in the Conference Europa League.. as someone mentioned rather have a fresh go next year at the top 5 with new signings and a new start with no heavy European schedule especially with a 3rd tier competition like that. Europa League I think would be the perfect next step for us as we could go on a good run and actually have a chance of winning it and if we do then we get Champions League regardless of League position.Colly wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:48 pmThis is complete hyperbole though, we've been 6th-10th since September.

We’re 7th in the league for games played in 2024 (not sure if that includes todays games, probably not).

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
We are barely clinging onto top half, we have been absolute s**** and all I hear is excuses constantly. If Chelsea weren't playing in the cup there would have been a good chance we would have fell into the bottom half of the table this weekend.

Don’t disagree, but that’s different to relegation form.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
Why are BT so surprise that Arsenal have destroyed us over the last decade? For most of that time we were ambitionless PL bottom feeders under Ashley while Arsenal were regularly amongst the leagues top spenders.
