The Goon Thread

We all know, this massive failure of winning the league will be glossed over by the media and pundits
They are absolutely teflon
 
hahaha, fudging poundland City

Ref choked as hard as Arsenal, Partey should have been sent off for a 2nd yellow in the end.

fudging commentators, no wins in 4, "it isn't that Arsenal have stumbled, they just haven't been perfect"
Wow. I shouldn't be surprised really. Such an Arse love-in when it comes to media.

3 points in 4 matches.
I just looked at the form table https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table to see who has done worse in the last 4 matches.

Cheatski, Leeds and the bottom 2 (Neverton, SCBC)

Lovely jubbly. Happy days, absolutely lovely that Lampard is managing Cheatski like the captain of the Titanic, and the heroic saviour Arteta has been found to have a head made of 100% pure Lego.
 
From David Hytner in The Goonguardian:

To be clear – Arsenal have not bottled it. They have defied expectations to have an excellent season.

surely both things can be possible.

It really is beyond belief. We still get brick for bottling a title race we never led and you see this brick. There are actually genuine questions for Woolwich to answer on this score - not 12 months ago, they threw away 4th place when it came to the crunch. Now this. Yet, they are just having a great season?
 
The London based media is absolutely chocked full of London Alliance supporters - of course the narrative is Spurs bottled it and Arsenal are just plucky underdogs who should be praised for daring to dream
 
All these journos tripping over themselves to declare "they've not bottled it" are conveniently forgetting the did exactly the same fudging thing last year. They've done it many times before.

They'll be quick to jump on the sexy nonsense the next time we don't win a big game though.
 
they really have set a new bar for bottling it haven't they, it was over at Christmas, no team had ever been so far clear, it was done, it was over, impossible for them to get caught

incredible

Haven’t decided how to play it with the Gooners in work today: patronising sympathy, or go for the jugular with the ‘2nd in a one horse race’ line.

I’m leaning towards the latter.


He seems such a nice bloke. Must be a pleasure to share a life with.
