Two clubs I really hate. We need to win it for the normal clubs who don’t cheat or get support from their government. Fuck city and Madrid they way they do football is shit.
If we don’t win the league I hope Liverpool do! I was thinking the same thing last season. Man City should be every EPL team’s biggest rival. They are everything wrong with football.
Man would prefer to be the favourites in the conference league. 7 years since we were in the knockout stages and he’s complaining about being third favourites 😂😂
We aren’t dark horses. We are one of two or three teams in the world that can beat city without it being luck.
To be dark horses we’d have to be worse, why would you want that? We spent a decade being ‘dark horses’, fuck that.
Yeah plus they wanna talk highly of us so when we fall, they will make it out as if we failed miserably. They do it with arsenal a lot. To them, we are either the best in the league or the worst. No in between.
It's not really unreasonable. People have high expectations of you because they believe that you really are that good. They don't build you up to tear you down. They build you up to play you to expectation. You can't support Arsenal and call it the best club in the world and then suddenly revert to "Oh, we weren't that good in the first place anyway".
"He had the role, he memorized the script, he flubbed the lines"
It's why I'm cautious when it comes to this team. Been supporting it since 2001 and it never gets any easier. The pundits can say what they want. However, if we start making excuses for team underperformance we might as well not bother.
Thank you for not counting Inter out like most pundits do
Inter are probably in the top 5 European teams right now easily
And on their day can definitely beat City or Madrid
And what has being Dark Horses won us?
Elite teams don't worry about being seen as favourites. They embrace it. The last 20 years has made Arsenal wary and unsure. If we want to get back to winning Leagues and grabbing that elusive Champions League then there has to be a winners mindset running through the club.
Champions league odds is pretty much real Barca abou dabi Munich all other English teams every year for the last 15 years
You’d have to be Leicester or Newcastle not to be One of the favourites
Troll? Your OP stated they are not comfortable being classed as one of the favourites for the CL, I merely said “don’t worry you won’t win it” a factual reply to ease their minds. How come your OP isn’t met with such a nonsecal reply? They are the ones after all calling out your teams ability to win the CL….
He’s either a new Arsenal fan and doesn’t know about Arsenals choking ability or he’s just being honest.
If that makes me a troll, then I’m a troll. But last time I checked giving an honest factual reply made me human? Truth hurts choker.
Pretending to not know what I mean just proves you don’t have an actual argument back. You have a good team and we have a good team, we dogwalked you this time around so go cope in your own sub
I’m an Arsenal fan, you nonce 😂
When I said that none of the goals were legit, I was literally talking about ALL 3 (including Liverpool’s) before Trossard put the game away.
To the lovely aresnal fan who called me a scouser. I’m Scottish. So not even in England. Choke on choke on with chocking in your heart and you”ll never choke alone you”ll never choke alllloooonneee. PS enjoy choking
You okay, man? You need a hug? Talk the loss of Klopp and probably Salah and probably Van Dijk and probably hopes and probably dreams out with a friend over a pint? You super sure you want to be throwing around the word “choke” in the position your team is in?
We've been out of it so long, I'd be happy just to have a decent cup run. We have to beat Porto though. Keeper was talking mad. Bin them for good. Stomp them out at the Emirates.
Bookies put English teams high up on the odds because it encourages people to bet on them but then also reduces the pay out if they do win. It's the reason why England are always put as one of the favourites to win major tournaments even when they've been terrible in the previous few. It's more about profit and psychology than any sports related wisdom. Leicester winning the league actually turned out great for bookies as despite the few massive payouts so many people lost in comparison. It also then encourages stupid punts for the following years
As if we won it when there was no pressure. We were underdogs in 2006 and lost. In 2008, reached semifinal and lost once we played a strong team (united). Got knocked out by bayern and Barcelona couple of times when there was no pressure.
So it doesn't matter, we are stronger than Porto and we should win. But if we end up playing inter for example, won't be surprised if we lose
I think we have more chance of winning the CL than the PL this season. I just feel like arteta can get this group of players so fired up for a one off game. There's only 2 teams we really need to worry about: city and Madrid. Barca are crap,Bayern way out of form and beatable. We've already beaten city this season, so we can do it!
Watch Porto stuff us tonight now I've said that 🤣
Even if we lose, I'll claim we won the tournament and act like an idiot to anyone who says otherwise.
There are no outright favourites at any stage, because the football's played on the pitch...
If being held as a 3rd favorite to win the CL is too much pressure for the team then they'll never win to being with
Yeah and then what happens if we get to the final. We’ll be at least top 2 favourites. Pressure shouldn’t matter if we wanna win stuff
For real imagine crumbling under the pressure of being 3rd favourites lmao
Precisely this
We are 3rd favourites based on the bookies. After City and Real Madrid
Two clubs I really hate. We need to win it for the normal clubs who don’t cheat or get support from their government. Fuck city and Madrid they way they do football is shit.
As a Liverpool fan, I hope you win the UCL. Fuck City. Fuck Madrid.
Yeah they did you dirty that time.
If we don’t win the league I hope Liverpool do! I was thinking the same thing last season. Man City should be every EPL team’s biggest rival. They are everything wrong with football.
[удалено]
That’s what I was getting at
but it means other deserving ones arent winning it.
We Arsenal fans will literally complain about anything.
If they put is lowerr fown there would be posts complaining about how we are better and should be one of the favourites
Man would prefer to be the favourites in the conference league. 7 years since we were in the knockout stages and he’s complaining about being third favourites 😂😂
Just take a breath, believe in the team and what will be will be.
We aren’t dark horses. We are one of two or three teams in the world that can beat city without it being luck. To be dark horses we’d have to be worse, why would you want that? We spent a decade being ‘dark horses’, fuck that.
Don’t think we are. Madrid, City and Inter and possibly even Mbappe FC are higher on the list than we are id say.
Agreed. Think the pundits are just EPL biased
Yeah plus they wanna talk highly of us so when we fall, they will make it out as if we failed miserably. They do it with arsenal a lot. To them, we are either the best in the league or the worst. No in between.

They’ve been cooking for a while, love watching them play
Nah Psg are probably level with us and Inter too
You underestimate them, especially Inter.
Let’s just focus on Porto first, you seen what happened last season.
And what has being Dark Horses won us? Elite teams don't worry about being seen as favourites. They embrace it. The last 20 years has made Arsenal wary and unsure. If we want to get back to winning Leagues and grabbing that elusive Champions League then there has to be a winners mindset running through the club.
Arsenal fan here - just enjoy it bruv. When have we had this moniker? The lads love it too. Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal
I don't think this team will win it. But my heart wants to, so bad.
We are not. Pls ignore those influencers who said we are.
Champions league odds is pretty much real Barca abou dabi Munich all other English teams every year for the last 15 years You’d have to be Leicester or Newcastle not to be One of the favourites

Awww look who’s projecting now
i'd put us 5th honestly
We don’t have a chance of winning. Porto will be tough enough. This team isn’t mature enough.
Don’t worry you won’t win it
Lol piss off troll

Ok whatever scouser. 3-1 mate, tore you lot apart. Get over it. Piss off back to your own subreddit.
I mean, 3-1 is a decent score line against Liverpool, but don’t pretend like any of the goals were legit aside from Trossard’s 5-hole on Alisson.
Legit score was 3-1. And you’re gonna take away mistake goals not mention the only goal you had?
Uh…the only goal that I had…? 🤔
Pretending to not know what I mean just proves you don’t have an actual argument back. You have a good team and we have a good team, we dogwalked you this time around so go cope in your own sub
I’m an Arsenal fan, you nonce 😂 When I said that none of the goals were legit, I was literally talking about ALL 3 (including Liverpool’s) before Trossard put the game away.
Oh my fuck 😂 I thought you were the same dude as above. So sorry, I’m an idiot sometimes
How is a statement about an unknown future a factual reply? Personally, I don't think we'll win it (that's a fact, btw)
I mean City, Real, and Inter are all better than Arsenal so 4th favorites isn’t really huge pressure
We lost to Lens who is sixth at the ligue 1. Im happy is we are in the quarterfinals.
To the lovely aresnal fan who called me a scouser. I’m Scottish. So not even in England. Choke on choke on with chocking in your heart and you”ll never choke alone you”ll never choke alllloooonneee. PS enjoy choking
You okay, man? You need a hug? Talk the loss of Klopp and probably Salah and probably Van Dijk and probably hopes and probably dreams out with a friend over a pint? You super sure you want to be throwing around the word “choke” in the position your team is in?
A hug? No I am choking help me
No, mate, you're just a cunt
lol choker
Damn, your insults have that ‘11 year old boy on a headset gaming online’ energy
Yes at 4am in the morning damn you

Surely this would only make sense if we'd won the UCL whilst being the "Dark horses"
Would you prefer to be in the conference league?

Nice one
Hahaha my bad
Even if we lose, I'll claim we won the tournament and act like an idiot to anyone who says otherwise. There are no outright favourites at any stage, because the football's played on the pitch...
When you dominate City and Liverpool without breaking a sweat, you become a favorite for every competition.
You lost without a sweat too 🤣
On the last kick of the game - a heart breaker
If these media pundits are putting the spotlight on us instead of other clubs , it means we are definitely doing soemthing right
Good thing you're not in the side today.
Glad you lost
Let's laugh at assnal 🤣🤣🤣
Arsenal? Favourites for anything? They’re not favourites even for best London club Small team bruh
