@timstillman_ I spoke to John Brewin on this, this evening (bumped into at the bump, kindly gave me his time). Isn’t POTY about the best player in the league? Objectively (as an Arsenal fan) that’s been Bruno. Rice, Gabriel, Raya are the sum of the collective. Bruno in a bad Utd team isunreal
Arsenal football club are good for clicks, that’s all. Without us, most of these major channels wouldn’t succeed, there are much worse top 10 clubs than us but o get why we are the target.
Objectively as an Arsenal fan, I hate AFTV and the hate the current version of the Ashburton Army. I appreciate on lookers of our club and why we irritate other fan bases, but I think the majority of our fans want us to do well and support Arteta. Debate me.
@JohnBrewin_ sorry for disturbing you at the pub this evening. Was very excited to bump into you that’s on the Guardian Football weekly with @maxrushden
Thank you for entertaining the conversation and please note that all Arsenal fans are not the same as AFTV/Ashburton Army.
@HendrickD82 Interested to know who you’d have ahead of him? As a Liverpool fan, if you had Rice and Szoboslai in your midfield, surely you’d have one of the best in the league? As an Arsenal fan I rate DS so highly, he’s elite.
@Callum7McFadden But, has he impacted the games that really matter? Rice is a different player granted, but, he always shows up and delivers - if we win the league, he and Gabriel will be the reason why.
@__scottsaunders Do you not think it’s just down to G&A? Bruno has been outstanding tbf. But, I think Rice has impacted the games that really matter. He’s a leader.
@UtdFaithfuls Don’t think this is a fair debate because they’re totally different players. You’d take Rice every day of the week, we’d take Bruno every day of the week. Ultimately, Rice (hopefully) will win something this season and has impacted the biggest games. Bruno got you top 4.
@leo_papazian@adamkeys_ And Alumnia would’ve won in 2006 if we’d won it. Don’t think that’s a fair debate. Aliadière was part of the invincible squad, would you count him?
@Mooner_zZ@adamkeys_ Don’t you think they’re totally different players tho? Bruno is unreal but is about G&A, Rice influences game in a different way.
@MusaChenemi@adamkeys_ All the players you’ve listed, bar Szoboszlai are totally different. Bruno’s been unreal this season, can’t knock it, I don’t think there’s much in it, but this season, Rice has led us to potential PL and UCL. He’s the difference maker - as is Bruno tbf.
@Tom_Grennan As an Arsenal fan and having lots of Irish pals, your choice is either Liverpool or United - I only hate you choice because of SAF and beating us in most seasons. Otherwise I rate your decision. Also followed you from day 1 - fair play to where you’ve got too 🎉
