What's all this I'm reading of "hard to hate" lol. People blind and deaf to English media?

If my team can't win it I need the competition abandoned. Gun to my head at a stretch I could stomach Palace or maybe Ipswich winning the title everyone else can get ****ed.
Their fans make them VERY easy to hate. I've seen plenty of them talk about never considering us as title challengers, only City. Even Slot said Citys falling away basically gave them the title, didnt even mention us I don't think.

Salah is their Henry now.To lead the team to win even after their 'rebuild' as well.

Two titles and a CL in the last few years for pool even though initially they were behind us when Klopp took over. Damn.

I wouldn't say he is in Henry levels in terms of many qualities, but he was undoubtedly world-class for many periods and is definitely their best ever PL-era player.
He is much, much better than Gerrard and Carragher, who, besides Istanbul, have nothing else major to show for. Salah has the titles, goals and awards, and he trumps them on every possible metric.

I think the lack of real feeling for the league title is down to it being wrapped up months ago and us having the CL as a distraction. It is annoying that after 2 hard fought title challenges where we were so close the title now goes to Pool at a canter. Now all that matters is winning the CL.

I think Henry stands alone for me because he was almost unplayable at his peak.

He would score goals from everywhere and just eviscerate teams in a way I’ve still not seen from any PL player apart from maybe 07-09 Ronaldo, 13/14 Suarez and 12/13 Bale.

In all three of those examples that’s four years total between three players while Henry on his own had five arguably six seasons of total dominance that was just insane to watch.

If Ronaldo had stayed at United I would have put him on that level I’m sure and maybe Rooney if he’d have actually conditioned himself but even in his “prime” he wasn’t hitting Henry numbers. Cesc could have but the injuries killed him as well.

Salah has been incredible but I see him in that second tier with Alexis Sanchez, Chelsea Arjen Robben, Van Persie, Eden Hazard or Van Nistelrooy where you respect the goals and consistency but he’s not tearing up the rule book in a way you’ve never seen. Henry would humiliate the better defenders in the league regularly.

I agree with this, and with all this said, I remembered "The Big Interview" of Timber for the PL Channel last night.

He said he followed Arsenal since he was a child, as he inherited the passion for us from his older brother and his mum, so when they asked him "Who is your favourite ever Arsenal player", I was half-expecting him to say: Henry, Bergkamp, Campbell, Vieira or someone from the Invincibles, but then he stunned me when he said Jack Wilshere :lol: :lol:

While this may be funny and odd, you soon realise that the players of today, like Timber, who was born in 2001, don't have memories of our Invincibles.

So this brings the next discussion about whether the young, up-and-coming players were inspired by our teams/top players. You soon realise that the next generation of kids will have grown up watching us struggle while they grew up getting inspired by the likes of City, United, Chelsea, etc.

I started watching Arsenal in 1976, so I spent the 80s fearing Liverpool and was super-thrilled when Brian Talbot finally put them out of the FA cup after 27 replays, for example. I don't even mind their fans - they didn't moan much about the Fever Pitch title despite it being the year of Hillsborough.

Liverpool are far preferable to all the plastic oil/oligarch clubs and United who were largely a joke, apart from when a rabid Scot who they nearly sacked was there. (Charlton, Best and Law were quite good though, I sat next to them on the train once and Tommy Docherty patted me on the head). Tottenham are just a minor annoyance and hardly worth talking about.

Congrats to Pool. They have been the most consistent team along with keeping their main players fit at key points in tge season. Deserved winners.

Genuinely insane how you can win everything and still get called a snake because you're heading to the biggest club on the planet.

It's poor taste, but a snake or a lizard? They've got one of the best backups in the league as well.

unless he move to manutd but calling him snake because he moving to club outside england is crazy. Liverpool fans just not right most of the time.

Arsenal Quotes

The coach's role is to make the player understand everything that serves the interest of the game. To do this he must speak to the child within each player, to the adolescent he was and the adult he is now. Too often a coach tends only to speak to the adult, issuing commands for performance, for victory, for reflection, to the detriment of the child who is playing for pleasure, living in the present.
