When this game happens we need to make it incredibly hostile. Like PTSD inducing bad so they're petrified to ever set foot in our stadium again. Like the Judas return game - that hostile

That atmosphere was electric. It rattled Judas and their entire team so much. I’m sure he had an absolute mare and we beat them 2-1. I’m not sure that could be recreated in the new stadium though.

We drew 1-1 thanks to a late Poyet equaliser (goalkeeper should have saved it). We dominated but Pires scored a screamer with about 15 mins to go.

I’ve no idea why I remember these things so clearly but I do.

We definitely could recreate that atmosphere in the new stadium but so far our performances there have often been pretty passive and the fans lose faith quickly. I’d expect it to be loud for the NLD.

You’re right, I just googled it. There was definitely a match under the lights that he played in and the atmosphere was even more hostile. It was an absolute cauldron. He had a mare and I’m sure we won. ?‍

Soccer Saturday that day really pissed me off. You Tube it if you haven’t seen it.

Judas rightly got absolutely destroyed by the crowd and Stelling, Best and I think McLintock, all football people, went on as if Spurs should have been thanking him for his service and wishing him well. I mean, these lads are involved in football and understand the tribal nature of it. WhT they were saying was beyond belief. Judas got what he deserved that day for what he did. Rodney Marsh was the only one talking sense saying “he hasn’t conducted himself well so he has to suffer the consequences”.

Unbelievable nonsense from people who should know better.

Considering Xhaka's suspension will now apply to other fixtures, not ours, I don't see why the PL couldn't simply have postponed his suspension by a game. Then Arsenal have enough outfield players and the game could have gone ahead. It might have been a non-standard decision, but no more so than suspending a match because a team has one case of COVID (but lacks players due to stupidly loaning out two first team players in the same month that AFCON takes place).

Suspensions are meant to make things harder for a team, that's the whole point of them. They're punishments. That a Xhaka red has led to this game being postponed is scandalous. Then they wonder why Clubs want to start their own leagues.

 

[sidford]

They are loaning out another player, Mari, so that further reduces down their options for rest of season.
The rules are a joke to allow them take advantage like this.

Michah Richards sounded like he was reading off a sky script about the game jesus christ infuriating "arsenal have done nothing wrong, i feel that where its Arsenal everyone just lumps in" had to turn off at that point fuckin pathetic, and bollocks.

He's an Arsenal fan isn't he? Obviously going to bias his thinking, although he is obviously wrong

Disagree, but I never click those but that's the point I was making, if he's suspended, he should still count as available otherwise the diciplinary action means nothing if you can use it to your advantage.

You’re allowed to disagree, it’s just opinions and you’re still allowed those on here (it’s not twitter).

disagree and Neg are not the same.

I had planned to travel from Denmark with a friend for the NLD. But we decided to stay put because of the COVID situation... our trip was from thursday until monday with 4 nights at a hotel... if we had gone ahead with our plan it would have cost us both in the region of +/- 850 Pounds with hotel, football-tickets, flights, food/beer, underground, trains and so on... just an indication on what postponements can mean to fans. Especially without insurance

Exactly. This bullshit rule needs to discount players who are suspended

So corrupt

 

[rebrab]

Pablo Mari being loaned from Arsenal this morning. Disgraceful.

 

[Danny1]

I cannot believe Arsenal have loaned out another player. They are taking the absolute piss out of the premier league.

It’s totally disgraceful.

Any team with less than the maximum squad size should be held accountable for that when their requests for postponements are reviewed. Teams should also be accountable for not adequately provisioning for the absence of players who they know will have national team commitments that conflict with the domestic schedule.

Apparently they have put in a request to postpone all games until DT from AFTV completes his extended prison sentence
