Arsenal v Liverpool. Sunday 27th Oct. 16:30

[HCZ_Reborn]

I have no idea how the league will finish but nor does anyone else, so I can make my predictions as much as anyone else.

And you're as usual distorting what I'm saying - Slot doesn't have to be better than Klopp or even as good, if Citeh are a little off the boil that could still be enough

I'm saying that with the start we've had, our lack of striking depth and Arteta's caution i don't think we finish above third although - wait for it - I could be wrong...

I think Shaqiri's take is pretty good, though I'm not quite as down on the team or Artete as all that, I think Arteta has done some great things, signing some great players and bonding the team and also the fans, but IMO his caution and lack of experience is now costing us

I think that even without the injuries and sendings off we maybe still lack goals and with a dodgier defence (even with Saliba and Gabriel) I think we'll need more goals than last season, but I don't see where they're coming from

Is there evidence that our defence is dodgier ? When we’ve had our first choice defence available and finished games with 11 men. We conceded three goals in five games.

And in regards to Liverpool as I keep (patiently I’d add) trying to explain is that even up front they only have one player who is definitely better than any of ours and that is Salah. We’ve scored 17 goals in 9, which is only one fewer than at the same stage last season (having as I’ve said played much tougher games)

Given injuries, given unfair refereeing and given the drag factor of Arteta we are in fine shape.


I think your problem is you assume I have a problem you making a prediction, but if I think it’s utter nonsense I’m going to say so. My opinion is that it will be City or Us, and actually if we navigate the next few games well start to get players back from injury and we sign a striker in January….i think the loss of Rodri is such a massive blow for City that it will be us.


Liverpool? Unless we really screw up in a big way….or city do it’s third highest possibly 4th depending on Chelsea

We've coped better than a lot of people thought without Odegaard so I'm not sure losing Rhodri is so important, they lost Haaland for quite a while last season and it didn't stop them

Finally (and I mean finally) the very fact it's you predicting Citeh or us means I'm off to the bookies to put money on Liverpool

Odegaard is an important player, but Rodri is the essential player for City. As essential for them as Saliba is for us

I wouldn’t mind but this silly running joke of yours is based on a few scoreline predictions for Arsenal at the beginning of last season. But I suppose you have to have something to dine out on.

It's not just my running joke and it's also based on numerous otherr predictions, including Declan Rice being a bad signing

No I apologise it’s yours and Letters joke


I admire your brazenness given how often you’re wrong about things

Life's too short for me to go back through your posts but you know it's true

I know I made rubbish scoreline predictions at the beginning of last season which were overly negative but I don’t know any such other thing. Even the Rice thing I said I didn’t rate him (I still don’t truth be told) I don’t think (and by don’t think I mean I know I didn’t) make any prediction, played well last season at number 6 but he’s being played in a role he’s no business playing in



And as I say pretty brazen for someone who constantly says stupid or outright wrong things.


And someone who has to resort to pointing out spelling mistakes or typos because that’s the nearest you’ll ever get to winning an argument with me

such as the fact that Liverpool are second and demonstrably have a good team and a manager who so far has done well?

I win our arguments all the time, you just don't realise it - continued contradiction isn't winning, it's just blind stubbornness

[HCZ_Reborn]

continued contradiction isn't winning, it's just blind stubbornness

Who are you talking to here? Me or yourself ?

Yes I get that you make loads of poorly evidenced assertions on both football and politics. But yes I guess patiently trying to explain to you that your assertions are baseless or that you’re objectively wrong must just come across like contradiction.
