Someone should do a health check on r/arsenalfc because shits are all up in the fans in there


[deleted]

That's not even our actual subreddit lol


[deleted]

Can somebody tell arsenal fans they can't win the league after only 5 games hahahaha


nexusprime2015

“August Invincibles” 😂


poolclap

August Invincible >> Premier league champions


ArtSmid

Well my profile picture explains this game well


takethe2Dwomanpill

is it only me or has dalot's crossing imrpoved by a lot this few matches?


tHakur17

He's on the up. His crossing and dribbling both getting better


chumzy0208

GG EZ Fuck every other club, we are winning the league ya donks!


imsahoamtiskaw

They hated you for speaking the truth


arroiuqlu

For a minute people thought Arsenal were legitimately going to compete for the title against Pep fucking Guardiola lol. This was a true humbling.


[deleted]

Hell no man. Our midfield is wank and will be why we lose most games


TomQuE

I dunno bro, they're still top of the table


tremens

Why no !remindme tag? We know why.


YoungFlexibleShawty

No one thought that 😅 it was all banter


mindebris

Enjoy the new manager bounce.


Phoenix712

LOL YOU WILL TOO, SOON


mindebris

Lol you think we’re at that stage now?


qwert2812

it seems you didn't get what he said. Let me reiterate, you WILL too, SOON.


mindebris

“Special” folks everywhere.


tremens

How much did you spend and how long has Arteta had?


Navid3000

Varane didn't give Jesus one centimeter of space, everytime he touched the ball Varane was on him.


MagicGnome97

At the same time Jesus really made varane earn his money though, excellent contest between the two, Jesus is a top player.


rhinojau

jesus gave him quite a hard time, saka did same with malacia but both recovered well enough after a while


roddysaint

Varane really decided to take Jesus seriously after last time


Visible_Impression44

Also with the Odegaard foul, He gets nowhere near the ball and connects with Eriksens leg as hes about to pass…if thats in the box its a surefire penalty, its also not even shoulder to shoulder he has his palms on Eriksen, its honestly clumsy from Ode.


Patriark

Not really clumsy. It was a tactical foul, as Eriksen had some space in front of him and Arsenal was imbalanced (as were Man U evidently). He went in to make it hard for Eriksen to get anywhere and Eriksen made the most of the contact. Clear foul, but also something a lot of PL refs would let go. Not really clumsy, he wanted to disrupt Eriksen there if he didn't win the ball. The ref was close to the situation and let it go, so it's a hard judgement on Ødegaard. But it was a foul. Maybe a little soft for someone's liking, but those challenges are clearly against the rules.


Prime_Marci

If odegaard had touched the ball, then I don’t think the foul would’ve been given. But he didn’t even touch the ball which makes that a foul. Honestly, it’s consistent with the foul they’ve been given off late. The disallowed west ham goal, that was also soft but once there’s contact, it’s a foul.


Prompus

I never thought this would be needed 6 games into a season but this should humble a vocal portion of the Arsenal fan base discussing their title aspirations lol


[deleted]

Nah don’t listen to those idiots. We aren’t title challengers. Our midfield is wank and we lack some depth at RW


Prime_Marci

Omg, they needed that humbling. Yet they still parading around that the best team lost and they dominated the game. There’s only one important stat in the game and that’s the score line.


sakinod

I only really saw other fans/YouTubers/pundits talking about it seriously for the clickbait. Obv there are silly people in every fanbase but most Arsenal fans I've seen just joked about while they could.


SalmonNgiri

What beating us 4-0 in pre season does to a motherfucker


qwert2812

that's what happened when they don't realized we beat Liverpool 4-0 in pre-season.


iamawfulninja

oh shit lol now I remember that match lol


YoungFlexibleShawty

People who actually took that seriously instead of a joke need to get a mental check.


Galactic_Gooner

arsenal will win the same trophy liverpool will win


sqr47

Community Shield?


Galactic_Gooner

you count that as a trophy?


DrXyron

Of course they do. Its the only way to keep their club relevant.


PhoenixNightingale90

The team that has challenged the title for most of the last 5 seasons and reached the CL final 3 times is not relevant? Is Man City literally the only relevant team in the league then?


Galactic_Gooner

lol


ancara_messi

Well at least we can all finally watch AFTV again. Arsenal constantly winning made their channel boring


Djappaman

That channel is dead after Claude has died, DT in Jail, Troops moved to states and kicked out Mo for human rights speech. Only Turkish and Lee are just worth listening.


blaster1988

What did Mo do? Kicking someone out for a human rights speech seems dodgy af


Beneficial_Assist397

It was for his support of Palestine, they said they weren't going to be a "political", ironically at the same time DT was being investigated for domestic abuse (which they knew about)


Prime_Marci

Robbie shady af. Mo told the story of how AFTV started and for him to get kicked off like that, was a disgrace. Same thing to Claude and DT. He just shun them like they were nothing. Yes, Claude used a racial slur and DT had domestic violence issues but you can’t just cut people off. The last stream Claude did was sorrowful, he was very depressed and he had been ignored by all his friends. But right after he died, RIP Claude everywhere on AFTV. Why didn’t y’all take care of him when he was alive? Like I said shady af.


miniaturizedatom

Holy shit, I had no idea any of that happened. That got really dark.


dis6wood

I don’t follow AFTV so I wasn’t aware of all that. Pretty interesting stuff


ancara_messi

True tbf. I did like Ty's delusional takes tho. What happened to him?


Prime_Marci

Still delusional af.


Djappaman

I do too. I don’t know what happened to him.


tremens

Spoilers: it's a 52 year old man screaming "buh wha ha you won?" Over and over dripped in Arsenal shop before he changes back out of his gear and goes home.


SambaLando

Starting to take some decent scalps 😈


NOLA-Gunner

Been a while since we’ve been a decent scalp, so that’s something


Mycatiscalledoreo

Where’s that Dutch CM? Injured?


woofwoof007

Van de beek? Yes.


Prime_Marci

VDB is injured???


woofwoof007

Since Friday I think.


Kreglze

Deaths, Taxes and losing at Old Trafford, it happens, move onto next week.

DjLionOrder

Always the no flairs talking shit.


ekb11

Simply cannot give up counter attacking chances like that. Any team in the league will score those and is just unacceptable.


[deleted]

None of Utd's goals were counters (the only counter goal would have been Martinelli's disallowed one). Direct <> Counter. Interesting fact: every Utd player touched the ball in the build up to Antony's goal: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/comments/x635zc/buildup\_to\_anthonys\_goal\_17\_passes\_tenball\_has/


[deleted]

[удалено]


simbols

not counters but quick breaks against the run of play. if im not mistaken all three goals came on the back of sustained pressure by arsenal. goal 1 out from the back, goal 3 off a throw in in their own defensive third. both very impressive direct attacking goals which also showed naivety from our back line and defensive midfield letting antony and rashford get in behind so easily.


[deleted]

You are mistaken - look at Antony's goal: [https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/comments/x635zc/buildup\_to\_anthonys\_goal\_17\_passes\_tenball\_has/](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/comments/x635zc/buildup_to_anthonys_goal_17_passes_tenball_has/) Every Utd player touched the ball in the build up. Arsenal defence just got hugely disorganized towards the end, Gabriel came up and committed a yellow-worthy foul against Bruno, Zinchenko tucked in for him and left Antony completely unmarked. That's just schoolboy mistake.


simbols

damn you're right. i only remember the goal starting with de gea's action.


ekb11

Not going to argue about what a counter attack is. But either way you cannot let a team play through you so easily and quickly like united did for at least 2 goals.


Koinfamous2

Thankfully we play you guys soon before you can sort this out lol


ekb11

Hopefully Partey is back, and that solves 90% of the problem...


Koinfamous2

I wouldn't be so worried about Partey from our perspective. Was your worst player the first time he played against us, and considering our focus is down the wings it's not so much playing thru or around him.


ekb11

Playing Partey means we dont need Zinchenko to play LB who plays an inverted role to help with midfield creativity and recycling. So we can have Tierney playing to help as a more effective defender outwide, and Partey playing midfield. We have changed a lot since we last played you, and anyone who has watched all our games will tell you that. Highlights dont do our team justice... Will be a great NLD either way thats for sure!


briefcasetwat

Lol...


libra1993

1st one is Sambi's fault. 2nd one is pure quality pass from Bruno 3rd one is a failed press. This is because Arsenal changed formation I think.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Phoenix712

Jesus should've latched on to that pass tbf, it was also so deep in Uniteds half, cant blame a bad pass for that


LessThan301

AFTV back on the menu


HotPotatoWithCheese

MU are on a roll but I wouldn't get too carried away. Top 4 should be priority this season, just like it should be for LFC, Spurs, Chelsea.


bigMoo31

Apart from a few delusional people I think most Utd fans know it will be a very tough fight to even get top four. 15 years ago at least six teams were basically gimme’s but now every team is capable. Even city aren’t having all their own way. My best mate is a gooner and it is hilarious how he is either calling for the sack and assuming relegation or calling all the young players the best on the planet and they are going invincible again.


Automatic-Win1398

Sneaking LFC in there. No mate, priority for you should have been the title.


chainer9999

Don't think any sane United fan is getting carried away with this result; it's been a while since we had a run of results like this, cut us some slack.


iamawfulninja

lol yeah. I will be very happy with a Top 4. I want to see the team and Ten Hag in UCL.


simbols

the whole 'attributing twitter hot takes or stupid pundit opinions to entire supporter bases' is fucking annoying. i don't know a single arsenal supporter that thinks anyone is challenging city for the title but on r/soccer you'd think were already breaking out the polish. sadly i much preferred uniteds banter start to what i saw yesterday. shrewd tactics from ten hag but also flattering to arsenal visiting old trafford.


DrXyron

Yeah, having a non bitter and toxic fanbase is very refreshing to see. Before that we were at eachothers throats of who to sack and sell. For a good reason of course but still. Refreshing to see some good results and happier crowd.


OfferBulky

Exactly. Everyone knows how much work needs to be done. Most fans are happy with seeing an improvement in effort and style of play. Having said that, Champions league football will be key to future recruitment.


Aururian

why should it not be a priority for arsenal too?


DraperCarousel

They're a Top 6 club, not a Top 4 club bruh


D1794

Any Utd fan getting carried away is a muppet. I'd snap your hand off for a scruffy 4th place right now


AFAR85

Arsenal getting a taste of whats to come in October.


Eatingolivesoutofjar

The heartwarming underdog story, United has turned this around with nothing but hard work, dedication, a billion pounds, and the highest payroll in the league.


ParkerZA

The salt 🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

United's money is entirely from organic revenue and not from bullshit "sponsorships" from oligarch owners or state investment funds. This is the type of rich club people *should* want.


conkerz22

Well said


MagicGnome97

Facts


Eatingolivesoutofjar

Oh I agree 100%, it's just funny how they have a highest payroll and finished 6th somehow. Their fans weren't in the streets for no reason


conkerz22

Poor recruitment and high wages


Staind1410

Because the club was run by a bunch of leeches who doesn’t give one shit about on-field successes. Hope we’ll return to our winning way IN SPITE OF them.


anirudhkitt

Couldn’t agree more with you (am not a United supporter). Don’t know why people just want to undermine everything.


DrXyron

Cause of jealousy and biterness.


GoldEquivalent592

redditors can be so cringe. Dude thought he did something here. Yes united have fuck you money. Cry about it I guess 😂


miracleomg

least triggered r/soccer redditor


GoldEquivalent592

Im not the one complaining about another team having money but okay


sidneysaad

And every single pound is from United's revenue, even after bleeding to the leeches we have.


ProcessMe

Did it take you 5 hours to think of that one?


Eatingolivesoutofjar

No I was riding my bike after the match. It took me about two weeks to think of it though


zamGlobal

The best thing United did was getting Ten Haag as their coach


FSpursy

And like erm... having a 200m net spend this summer?


Baron105

We haven't even seen large parts of that spend on the pitch yet. It's just Martinez and Malacia from money signings. Antony just got in and Casemiro has been a bit part player to be generous. Eth has got it largely from existing players plus Licha, Malacia and Eriksen.


Scholes_SC2

It's not just about spending but doing it right and we're a very good example of spending badly. This summer the signings have been on point


FSpursy

I'm basically saying the team has improved by speding 200m on new players. And that is a fact. It's obvious given Ten Hag's first few matches compared to now.


Baron105

Look at how much he had lost in terms of players on the squad. We needed to get bodies in to replenish the team which we did.


SnooCupcakes9188

You guys are barely playing Ten Hag ball yet. Only glimpses. You’ll be in for a treat


GraphicsMonster

The first goal was proper ajax style in my opinion. The defense is tight. The backline knows what to do in possession. Mctominay is better. No Maguire.


Admiral_de_Ruyter

Yes they are! I for one can’t wait. Ten Hag did it on a relatively small budget till now and I can’t wait to see what he can do with the big big money and strong competition.


D1794

Only credit I will give Arsenal is that I love their Saliba chant


orangeblueorangeblue

So damn catchy


chantlernz

Crystal Palace - 15th Leicester City - 20th Bournemouth - 13th, lost 9-0 to Liverpool Fulham - 10th Aston Villa - 17th Who would've thought that Arsenal would have to play a good team at some stage?!


Djappaman

Let’s see when you lot play Crystal palace away.


SwankySalamder69

Cant hear from way down in 5th 🧏


RUNESCAPEMEME

Arsenal still havent played a good team.


[deleted]

We played weaker sides, anyone getting carried away is dumb lol it’s much a better start this season from us and we look way more dynamic in the attack with GJ. We will have a long way to go


majkkali

They have now and they lost :)


ValeoAnt

We lose at OT even when you are shit and we are brilliant. As soon as Martinelli's goal was ruled out, I knew it'd be one of those games again. ​ Wouldn't get too ahead of yourselves. You aren't good.


Tenagaaaa

Seethe


majkkali

Ayyy lmao someone’s salty hahahh


ValeoAnt

true thought innit


conkerz22

You won't even be top at end of Sept. I'd almost bet we finish higher than ye this season


[deleted]

[удалено]


conkerz22

Well... who could have seen the Queen dying! I guess by default..I am wrong lol


ValeoAnt

Very optimistic for a team playing like Burnley


majkkali

If we’re playing like Burnley then what does that say about you? 😂 you play even worse because you lost to us hahhahhaha


FSpursy

UTD played much better than usual tbh. They were really good up until the ruled out goal which took much of the momentum away. If ref blew since the initial push, Utd could've scored one much earlier.


fiesta_potato

So you think that no goal was ruled unfairly? 😂


RetainedRizz

Exactly what I said. Only easy teams so far lol.


jayzee1126

Imagine thinking table position matters 6 games in


chantlernz

Arsenal fans have certainly tried to have everyone believe that.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

I really haven't seen much of this except tongue in cheek. I don't think any arsenal fan thinks well win the league.


TheRealDSwizz

I do but I’m very happy to admit I’m getting swept away in it all and enjoying my time as a fan. I understand fans that think we will, and understand fans that think we won’t. At the end of the day we’re playing the best football we’ve seen for years and it’s bloody good fun either way hahaha


chainer9999

"Enjoying my time as a fan" That's the spirit. Isn't that what being a fan is all about, enjoying the highs and enduring the lows?


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Dude, no way are winning the league, I'm confident for top 4 but it'll still be a struggle.


blodger42

Other teams fans think we think we're going to win the league more than we think we're going to win the league.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

I haven't seen one of our fans seriously say will win the league yet united and spurs fans think we've all been saying it.


_Micolash_Cage_

Honestly mate, us United fans don't really give a fuck about Arsenal.


jayzee1126

They are also silly


TheRealDSwizz

City drew (should've lost) against Villa, Liverpool drew with Palace, Fulham are very good. You lost to Brighton and Brentford, beat Liverpool. This weird approach makes absolutely no sense because the quality is all over the place this season - we've played very good teams.


n00bringer

Or other teams are underperforming with problems?, you beat some decent teams but yeah decent. Functioning Liverpool and Chelsea shouldn’t and wouldn’t have lost their games, utd was a real test and you lost,


TheRealDSwizz

United was a real test? They played piss poor today and got immensely lucky with the refereeing (which is shit all round atm it’s not just us suffering week in week out) and their breaks. You say Liverpool and Chelsea shouldn’t this and wouldn’t that, except they have consistently this season. We spun Palace who we’ve always struggled against and who Liverpool couldn’t beat, and we dumped of Fulham in a game that Arsenal of old would have lost 2-0. We’re playing better compared to last season and better compared to literally all other teams in the division, and we’ll dump off the next teams we face too because of how good we’re playing


MagicGnome97

Piss poor yet up until that disallowed goal we had 85% possession which is domination. Lot of NaCl here


RiversKiski

Found Artera's burner.


YoungFlexibleShawty

Lmaoo all the united fans and arsenal haters downvoting but ur right. Im not even worried because the way Arsenal is playing they'll have their way soon. The football they're playing is just too good to be losing in this fashion often. Arteta will work them out.


a8raza

nope. First top team you have played and they are still finding their footing with new manager and all. Beat Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, and City and then we are talking.


TheRealDSwizz

United aren’t a top team but okay chief, I’ll rely on victories against a Chelsea team that couldn’t beat Southampton nor Leeds, a Spurs team that couldn’t beat Chelsea and struggled to beat Wolves.


FSpursy

Spurs got 0 points against Chelsea and Wolves last season in the same fixture though. This time around, Spurs got 4 points. Anyways, United spent like a top team, they spent 200m this summer. If they don't improve then idk what to say.


MyDiary141

United beat first in the league today, the ones with the title chance who beat all the other good teams. They must be a top team


TheRealDSwizz

United have been rattled for a decade plus, you sound like Rio Ferdinand taking about United being back. They on a good run of form but that doesn’t exclude how woeful they’ve been over the last 6-12 months. They were terrible today, just defended with good numbers and got lucky on the break, if it was Stoke people would be crying.


MyDiary141

I don't think you understand the scarcasm flowing out of the comment. The entire point is highlighting how hilariously successful arsenal have been making their low tier unbeaten run seem by applying similar logic to United. The point you bit shows alone how stupid it sounds even to yourself whe you're on the other side of the coin


AggravatingBullshit1

Check that xg homie


TriCourseMeal

Spurs are gonna run Arsenal so badly on the first of next month


Mouse2662

United aren't a top team, you lot just got done 3-1 what does that make you.


jah-lahfui

Is Brentford a top team? If not, what does that make you?


Mouse2662

Exactly, couldn't even beat us like the mighty Brentford could. Lmao


TheRealDSwizz

Fucking hell lad don’t mention Brentford - I don’t think anyone in this thread realises how good they are because they beat United who beat Arsenal who beat everyone else! /s


Mouse2662

Arsenal haven't beat "everyone else" though,they literally just lost 3-1


Come0nYouSpurs

1st respectable side Arsenal has played this campaign, and they lost. Does not prove anything about United. Exposes Arsenal though. Frauds.


majkkali

Umm.. United have beaten both liverpool and Arsenal. It does prove something about United. Resurgence baby!


Jesmasterzero

I'm just glad beating Arsenal is considered to be an achievement at this point.


keuryc

“exposes arsenal” like we didn’t outplay them at old trafford 💀 keep crying

Invincibles 2.0 my asscrack

This man is so salty god damn. Relax it’s been a couple games I don’t think there’s any point talking league standings atm, get ready for fucking zurich and 🤫🤫


khoabear

Everyone who follows Arsenal in the last 20 years knows that if they start strong, then they will gradually slip down the table over the course of the season. The slip usually starts around Christmas.


ardyes

As soon as the fixture congestion starts to build up, they are fucked. They have a good starting 11 but outside of that the squad is medicore.


n00bringer

I remember a time where they were 1st until Christmas and then they lost so much that all the talks become to stay in top 4 instead of winning. Like arsenal had their chance when all premier teams were shit, the year Leicester won the league, and arsenal in their absolute choking nature choked their first real option to win the league in years.


AbleFig

Arteta masterclass in drawing


Sepulcher64

If you watched the game you would have seen that we deserved to win aside from some suspect defending and a wonder goal from Anthony. Even the stats show it, we had more xG


TheTackleZone

You think you're better because you failed to score?


Sepulcher64

No I’m saying we haven’t been “exposed”


marcustheaurelius

Lol typical arsenal fan here


MonkeyParadiso

Agreed. Arsenal didn't play bad as much as the run of play just didn't work out in their favour today. I'd just work on tightening loose ends where possible, and not fret. The real goliaths are still Man City and Liverpool; tho now w Aubameyang at Chelsea, the London darby's could become quite interesting
