And your crowd is full of tourists.Quote:

Yeah you have history, Enjoy it. I prefer my club to continue to make history. And the emirates has no atmosphere. 100% mostly tourists and corporates. You sold your soul when you moved to that stadium and watching you and westham do it makes me kinda glad Chelsea have stopped their plans for a new stadiumQuote:

I'll tell you what.. Even if he's not correct, I'm loving your hatred SB.. Good to see a bit of passion coming from a Tottenham fan for once..Quote:

St James Park it is
I don't know how many times I have to say it, but David Luiz is the worst person (I can't in good conscience call him a footballer) to ever pull on an Arsenal Jersey... And we have Piers Morgan as a fan FFS.
What an absolute flog the bloke is. At least this means we hopefully won't resign him next season and this nightmare is almost over.
as weird as it sounds, I wanted Arsenal to win today
in that way, I personally got to glimpse the torture that is having David Luiz on your side
for this brief moment, I feel your pain
David luiz cant do it all on his own, 10 other players didnt turn up today as well.
I see what you are saying Stanny, however, David Luiz didn't do anything for the entire second half due to being sent off..Quote:

That's true but he seems to always be the scapegoat everytime everytime Arsenal lose with him playing. Sure he ****ed up today, but the bloke has won 3 European cups, 1 on one leg after not training for weeks so he can be a good player, Just needs good coaching and a good systemQuote:

Also you blokes are criminal these days, you managed to convince teams to pay you cash money for David Luiz, Diego Costa the 2nd time round and that fat bloke who's scored 1 goal all season in a team full of galacticos.
I felt bad when Liverpool paid us £40 odd million for Oxlade Chamberlain, but you guys are way too harsh charging fees for those 3 at all, let alone how big some of the fees were.
Look at Italy plenty of old blokes still going strong and the word is Business savy not criminal. You want something from us? Then prepare to pay over the odds. Were also about to get 50mil from Morata. Plenty of clubs wish they had people like Roman, Marina and Bruce Buck running their clubsQuote:

Until a minute before half time, Luiz performs what I find fair to describe as a lazy, non-caring, unphased and completely inexcusably lack of professional football ability move that lead directly to City's goal. Scoreline, and mentally, that crippled Arsenal.
Then the penalty - again it was inexcusable from Luiz to even let Mahrez get in behind him to begin with but then all the rest of it. You can't more directly blame him for 2 goals. Plus sending his team down a man.
Arsenal never really looked like winning, Ian Wright in commentary pointed out perfectly at half time that unless Arsenal showed intent to get Auba and/or Saka the ball there was no chance they'd threaten in any way (which included Luiz not getting them the ball, fyi). But for what was a hang in there, competitive fixture that had more substitutions than normal so Arsenal can't even fully blame their two early subs, it is hard not to put a big massive target on Luiz here - even moreso taking into context. Commentary again, Michael Owen also pointed out that whilst Luiz is obviously a good footballer he can't remember anyone making as many massive errors in a consistent manner as him - and even said this should be the last Arsenal see of him in a game.
Yeah everything you said is spot on but Arteta needs to figure out how to get Luiz focused and playing well because if you want to win anything this season or qualify for the UCL, Then simple facts Luiz has to be in your team.Quote:

I'm quite happy to blame Luiz for our season more than Emery now.Quote:

No Luiz, Who can you guys blame now?
David Luiz extends his Arsenal contract until the end of 2020-21 season
this is the best news non-Arsenal fans have had in ages - another season of champagne comedy
Hahahahhaha
Why?
I'm going to find every single person involved in his deal and I'm going to ask them every single day via email, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc why they wanted to turn this once great club into a fricking clown car with a badge on the front?
I don't think I've ever been this angry before. I want everyone to mock the shit out of this club. Cause I'm gonna join in for as long as he is here.
This is officially the point that I want Arteta to get sacked. He has a say in all deals and he ok'd it. So I want him gone. I want Raul, Edu and Kia gone. I want us to lose every single game that Luiz plays in. I will laugh at his stupid Chelsea loving face everytime he costs the club points next season.
This deal also officially means that we are a mid table side. There is no more big 6, it's a big 4 plus Leicester, Wolves and maybe Everton next year. The rest are either mid table or relegation candidates.
this makes me feel like reading Fever Pitch again
https://www.theguardian.com/football...dentity-crisis
doesn't make good reading for Arsenal supporters - barrel of laughs for the rest of us however
I dislike the bloke because he was the one who convinced the club to sign Luiz. But with only 2 clients of his on our books, this stuff is just click bait. We have plenty of actual issues at the club to laugh at, why do they feel the need to talk about this? Look at United with Raiola, Wolves with Mendes, etc. They are more linked with a single agent than us.Quote:

it's still mathematically possible that Arsenal will be relegated this season
I think it's also still possible that we can finish 2nd. Or at least it was before the Brighton loss.Quote:

We better keep these sorts of comments in here Stanny. Turns out if we say anything remotely funny or negative in the Liverpool thread we get threatened with Bans. The absolute state of this place, lol.Quote:

If take Luiz back anytime as a back up. Anyone from that night in Munich is welcome at the bridge anytimeQuote:

He's the worst player to ever pull on our beautiful jersey. Either he's been sent to us by Frank to wreck the place from the inside or he's just the absolute worst.
VARsenal with the absolute cupset there. 3 calls went our way and Sheffield were all over us for the majority of the 2nd half.
Very lucky win there.
In somewhat good news, Luiz went down injured. So he won't be starting in the league this week at least.
Worst player? I doubt it.Quote:

He was your best defender from January until the lockdown according to alot of talk I've seen from Arsenal fans on Twitter and comments from ArtetaQuote:

Much like when we sold you a dud in Torres.
We've been somewhere between 8th and 12th on the ladder all season. Chambers doing his ACL and Holding struggling to recover from his has meant we've had to rely on Luiz, Mustafi and Papa all season. the fact that this is our worst season in 25 years shows you how well that's gone for us.Quote:

Mustafi has been our best defender this season according to all the fans I've spoken to, or read posts from. And we want him sold straight away and Holding into the starting lineup whenever fit. Being the best anything at Arsenal this year isn't much of a compliment.
