Afternoon fellow gunners, hope all’s good. I’ve been listening to a fair few views of pundits/ex pros saying we are boring. All the same ones that were saying only a few seasons ago that Arsenal were playing real entertaining football but didn’t have the bottle to get anything over the line. I’m going to try and put things into perspective regarding this season. When we was playing champagne football and blowing teams away it was because other teams were trying to play us at our own game. For 3 seasons we finished 2nd because we came unstuck by not being able to break down some teams that really sat back (low block) and those few games cost us winning titles. Now before this season kicked off we had assembled a squad to be feared. So a hell of a lot of teams have been playing low block on us. Most teams that have tried to play attacking football against us have been dealt with. 3-0s 4-1s 5-0s. But the low block teams who are too scared to go toe to toe with us are saying.

How you going to break us down. Our answer has been long throws, set pieces and in all fairness it’s working and we are breaking them down, getting results and on most occasions collecting the 3 points. (sometimes it’s not pretty) . But it’s more ammo added to our Arsenal. So the question is have the Arsenal become boring or are we involved in more apparently boring games because most teams are too nervous to go toe to toe with us fearing a battering. I myself think it’s the latter. Now if at the end of the season we’ve picked up some silverware, I’ll be buzzing. If we win the Prem or the Champions League I’ll be over the moon. Yes we would all love to see the Arsenal smashing teams to bits on the way to silverware. But that’s not how it works. So for anyone out there that says Arsenal are boring, just remember it takes two to tango and most teams are too scared to be our dance partners…Arsenal till I die. Coyg/Vth ?⚪️❤️.

{Ed025's Note - they are more wrestling partners than dance ones Gabi mate.. :)

Hello, Gabi, mate, hope you and everyone are safe and well. That's a great appraisal of the situation, and so much better summed up than people like Pardew, Scholes and the rest stating the bleeding obvious club.
Take care, Gabi, mate.
Coyg. ❤️ ❤️ ? ? ? ?

Hi Bill, all's good, my friend. I just felt the need to say something. We have a great squad, and, in my humble opinion, one of the best coaches around. He is hardworking and would give his soul for this club. This is his first managerial role, and it happens to be at a massive club. He's helped rebuild us, and he's got a lot more things right than he has wrong. He is also still learning from season to season, and using those experiences to make us better.

The players speak so highly of him and his attention to every single detail. He deserves more credit than some people give him. And if he and the squad start putting trophies in the cabinet, history won't say how they did, just who. the Arsenal & when. Fingers crossed, mate, for the rest of the season. ?⚪️❤️

Looks like we both had the urge to say a similar thing, Gabi! ?
