THE XG CHICKENS

We get to have fun for once!! 😃😃😃

They used the one obviously offside move in their Villa chances highlight reel too

They were threatening for like 15 mins and then spent the rest diving and timewasting 😩

No mention of dark arts or gamesmanship though

Total vibes*

Autocorrect destroying me out here

I would take that as an explanation if they ever actually added that much time for goals, subs and one injury, it’s usually like less than half of that time in reality

In every game I watch it seems like a random number generator, a life vibes metric, but yeah the 1st half was genuine insanity lol

I love how it’s become a yearly tradition for people to hype up Emery as the best coach/2nd best coach in the league who would win arsenal the PL while they’re on a hot streak, then completely disappear while Villa make their inevitable descent to 6th-8th

Of course Arsenal can’t keep getting away with it!

which is why I find the argument that we don't give him any "service" somewhat laughable, service for a striker is a two-way thing. They need to read the play and get on the end of things, especially close to goal and tap in chances!

(and we clearly do try to find him early too)

anecdotally speaking (because I don't even know how you'd find data on this), it seems we've put loads of dangerous balls across into the "corridor of uncertainty" and just inside the 6 yard box only to see no player making that far post run for an easy tap in

at least 1 from Saka in this game

This reads like a fabrizio stealth ad for poly market

“Insane value” when they’ve already had the winning streak is the most buy high sell low idiot logic

spot on, plus everyone's had a year to look at him and try to identify weaknesses. He gets targeted a bit but doesn't hide, and he can and will improve. Seriously no drama at all here

I'd love us to win every game 4-0 but damn can we apply some critical thinking and context. December is hard, injuries make things harder, winning by 1 goal STILL COUNTS, CITY ALSO DO THIS

people need to react more to what they see rather than a pre-conceived hindsight narrative about Arteta

genuinely i think people's brains are broken, because the opponent had some possession for a bit and did nothing with it

all the nerves seem like they come from the scoreline rather than what's actually happening. It's so frustrating to me that people have so little belief lol

wait, the team who is better away from home actually isn't better away from home at all?! we really are seeing some crazy outcomes this season (so far) against the underlyings
