I may take a stroll along Upper Street in a Jim Bowen presenting Bullseye kind of way. Here’s a celebration you could have won .The other positive gooners not winning the league is logistically saved london a load of traffic hassle today as no open top bus. We should be thanked for that.
Unfortunately for gooners, doing that would require accountability.
So they’ll blame Son instead.
I actually think Arse played much better football last season, even we played better ball than them in defeat.
They are much more machine like this season, they are a sort of modern version of ‘1 nil to the Woolwich’, compact in defence, heavy use of set pieces and counters. Obvious there was a period they let loose a bit when playing weaker sides but they seem to be moving much more towards pragmatic football and away from trying to copy Pep or Klopp full on attacking.

Because he worked under Pep, the press have settled on this conclusion that he's a purist in the same way. When as you say, he isn't. In Arteta's first few years there, his teams in the "big games" had far more in common with Mourinho than with Pep/Klopp. Their positive results in the those types of games pretty much exclusively correlated with lower posession. So this pragmatism is part of who he is. There's nothing wrong with that at all. I almost mean it as a complement. But it's certainly something that people want to shy away from because they have an obsession with appointing him as Pep's successor.
Gooner Twitter is glorious.
One thing I love about Troll Football is that unlike the rest of the world's media, they poke fun at someone else other than us from time to time.
What I love there is that all the Dipper players saw it, the entire Kop saw it, everyone watching on TV saw it, but the ref? Of course not.
I heard a podcast describe them as "a better version of Everton"
Uh oh ....This one's too smart. Needs to kill a few more brain cells and get on the Arteta deserves another 100 years train. Blobby utterly overlooking the fact that they should have gone for the win, they have never beaten city and Arteta is the reason.
PGMOL has had their fist on the scales for Woolwich.
They're a decent side nowadays but if you cut out the blatant favoritism I don't think they're even in the title race.

This season at home was the first time in the league since 2015
