arsenal 2021/22: we can't do worse than last season

[MrSki]

Still in 5th & I would have grabbed at that after the first 3 matches so not all bad.

Well you can't live in the past but you can certainly enjoy it.

Another one (not Arsenal) who comes to mind when you say 'majestic' was that African footballer can't remember his name, huge bloke really fast and delicate control. Went on to be pope or prime minister or president of his country or something like.

Eta: George Weah that's him, he was something else.

that last one

I stop with the derail now

Luxury player

4th place.

For now

 

[rubbershoes]

Match of the day. Quite literally.

 

[MrSki]

Looking good on paper but there are other teams with games in hand that can fuck it. Specially the Spuds.

 

[MrSki]

Up the fucking Arse.

The mighty Sunderland

Pepe had the full back on toast. That's when I realised Sunderland are actually 2 divisions down

Didn't deserve to win on that performance. Not a single shot on target in a cup game.

FA investigate yellow card shown to Arsenal player over suspicious betting

An unusual amount of money was placed on the player in question being shown a yellow card.

Interesting...

A bookmaker received around $420,000 (£310,000) worth of bets on a controversial yellow card received by an Arsenal player in a Premier League fixture this season, and flagged it to the international betting watchdog over “manipulation” concerns, The Athletic can reveal.

As The Athletic reported earlier in the week, the Football Association is currently looking into an incident from this season which involved an Arsenal player being booked. Concerns were raised about suspicious betting patterns.

There is no formal FA investigation at this stage.

It has now come to light that correspondence took place between a bookmaker — based outside the UK — and the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) about the incident before The Athletic revealed the FA was looking it.

The emails detail how multiple bets of around $420,000 worth of cryptocurrency were placed on the player in question to get a yellow card — which then happened.

This should have led to winnings of over $1 million (£738,000), but the huge bets placed on the yellow card aroused suspicions at the bookmaker, and an internal investigation concluded the market may have been subject to manipulation.

Football Twitter is awful and hilarious in equal measure...

 

[rubbershoes]

Good result.

It won't have dome much for the blood pressure of anyone watching

 

[MrSki]

I gave up at the 80 minute mark & was well chuffed when I checked the result.

Up to 5th with two games in hand on 4th spot.

 

[planetgeli]

I like to see the Arse doing well.

Going back through old posts is interesting.

I won't lie, Arteta is the right one for Arsenal.

Arteta bless him is out of his depth, If it wasn't for covid he would be gone.

Every time people have demanded change said change has been worse that what prompted the complaints. Maybe it is time to stop demanding change and give arteta time.

Still a huge gulf to the very top, shown in last night's loss to Liverpool, but we played well in for large periods of the game, Martinelli looked great and we weren't embarassed.

Can forgive Ramsdale his error for the first - I don't remember him making any others in his time with us to date
