✍️ OFFICIAL Declan Rice

[Macho]

Ødegaard being captain is the first time we got 80+ in the league in years, Rice captained his team to 20 losses and let’s not mention Xhaka’s captaincy.

I think we got away with Ødegaard as captain as we had Jesus, Zinchenko and Xhaka sharing the burden.

Ødegaard isn't even captain by example like Cesc he's more like captain by symbolism as he represents the profile and type of player Arsenal like but that's as far as it goes.

I think that's what makes the Rice transfer vital it's important to get one leader in if one goes which is one thing that went wrong in Emery's tenure when we lost a bunch at once.

Where can I go and see the “80 points plus” trophy? Sp**s won this a couple of years ago too.

It’s not a trophy just better than finishing 14th with 20 losses or getting booed out the stadium.

Rice might be lifting a trophy tonight though.

Trophy > points, that even Sp**s got.

I just don’t think being Captain matters that much. ‘Leadership’ is just an intangible the results mean more to me.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I don't think Rice needs the armband.

He'll play like a captain without the armband anyway, sort of like Xhaka this year or Terry for England after he was stripped of it etc. Some players are just natural leaders.

I think Ødegaard actually benefits from having it, don't think it would make a difference to Rice tbh.

 

[sdotzdot]

Players, coaching staff and manager all said Ødegaard has flourished taken that step up to captaincy. All have praised him in that role and his level of professionalism is class.

Plays the flashiest midfield role yet has the character of an old school player, no bullshit just turns up does the job which is a great example for what we want in our players especially with the way they act nowadays.

Can’t believe the disrespect and slander our captain is getting ffs.

It's funny @BigPoppaPump would use this argument because just yesterday he was taking shots at you for hyping up "losers" from yesteryear.

 

[Macho]

I just don’t like when people put down our players to hype him up. If he had a season like any of our midfielders did they’d crown him.

True.

But still when we win 2 nil and Rice finishes the match with 90% pass completion and a whole host of other useless twitter stats these English lads will be looking for you.

To be in conference league means you’re mediocre though. That’s like being the smartest poster on Arsenalmania.

You know what’s funny? The 07/08 team got 80 points plus too. You knew this @BigPoppaPump ?

They can come for me I don’t mind when an Arsenal player performs and we win I don’t have agenda’s lol.

This team are losers too though at the end of the day doesn’t mean it wasn’t a better season than West Ham or when Xhaka was captain.

Not really, that’s their level. It would be mediocre for us, Liverpool, Sp**s etc.

 

[Macho]

West Ham were aiming for CL to be fair. They were in the Europa spots in the previous seasons and this season was more of an outlier.

Antonio confirmed this and theorised that the new signings took time to bed in and the attempt in changing the style of play didn't work costing them points.

He actually said Scamacca doesn't suit Moyes and isn't a fighter like that which was surprising.

I doubt it tbf. I think @Trilly will be the one that gets tagged

“Didn’t he say Rashford was better than Declan Rice” that’s how it’ll go

@Macho would rate him if he was Black and French

If West Ham lose tonight you switching sides?

In my defence if he was black European these man would have written him off as sauce merchant immediately.

If you look at who think's Rice is a worldie it's genuinely just the Englishmen. I think the rest of the world are just happy to see a Xhaka replacement after 7 years.

@Macho would rate him if he was Black and French

Ngl I would rate him if he was an actual footballer.

Shame he didn’t come up in the J league eh.
