Did not see Gary Neville defending us so hard lol
Him and carragher have switched opinions on us this season
Don’t like this narrative that we were some super soft touch last season, we thugged out loads of tough wins.
50 points in 19 games is insane pace and im not shocked we bottomed out in our first title challenge especially when we relied so heavily on Saliba. I don’t think there’s a lot more to read into it than that.
He has been praising us a lot since the start of the season. Ppl only cherry picked the negative things to get triggered.
Even though what he’s saying here is true I don’t think you can take a word he says on face value. He’s completely disingenuous in everything he says. As the frontman of Sky’s coverage he’s got this enormous platform to dictate football discourse and he’s so aware of it that barely a word he says isn’t intended to get a reaction of some sort.
His repeated claims that he thinks we’ll win the league are probably partly driven by his fear of Fergies United side eventually being outshone by the current City side, and partly just setting himself up to use this as a stick to beat Arsenal with if City win again - which deep down he probably predicts
Don’t listen to either of those PGMOL bootlickers at Sky. They only want our Club to be in a perpetual chaotic state, as our engagement with their stupid takes is large enough to sell to their advertisers, nothing more.
i hate to say it but this season arsenal is giving SAF-era yanited vibes to me but without the ref advantage. just a determined refusal to go down without a fight, almost always tactically superior even if it doesn’t always affirm the eye test. we dig in and we find a way, especially in the last 10 minutes if we’re not where we wanna be. we’re just solid winners overall, a nightmare to play against even when we don’t get the 3 points. i can see why neville rates this season’s arsenal
He has said he thinks Arsenal will win the league since the start.
I’m still 90% convinced that he said that so he can have a soundbite later in the year going ‘I thought Arsenal were showing the right promise but they’ve show they’ll let you down’.
They do it every now and then, it’s all deliberate. I don’t know why you guys care so much about their opinions.
