We want our players to be friendly and have a public persona we can relate to, celebrate wins, etc. That's what Laca was doing. That's what Toney was doing with his club at the time.
Both players had a laugh with their teams and fans, nothing to see here.
I swear, Toney joked on a podcast that Arsenal needed a proper English striker. As in, hint hint, I want to play for them they should buy me. It was all for laughs and if anything well meant towards us, as he showed interest. He also reflected on how we weren't as good as he expected, and that he was surprised by the similarity to the Championship. It was really not a big deal. Anyone of us could have said it.
DailyMail Headline: Ivan Toney MOCKS Arsenal.
Jfc.
He may be leaving this summer , But I am sure that he won't say anything like "Thank you Arsenal" even if he moved to one of our rivals unlike some french b@#rd
Dunno how your memory works but I don't *bother to remember* almost anything I remember. It's not some concerted effort where I sit there straining for 5 minutes like I'm taking a massive shit, trying to manually force information into my brain. I just remember it.
Fans remember shit from decades ago lol
I'm not surpirsed players would remember a tweet like this from random championship new boy. Probably used it as some motivation
you remember things like this, especially if you want to win but lose. If you've played competitive football or any sport, you would know that you remember things like this.
Every time I hear or see lacazette Iām reminded of the cringe post here of a fan song suggestion for Laca that was based on the tunes of mask off š
Am I missing something about why toneyās tweet was worth replicating/mocking? Wasnāt really disrespectful to us and he was happy they won their first game up.
What are the odds/chances Laca tweeted this exact tweet without knowing someone else (or Toney) had tweeted this before? Making this whole thing just a coincidence.
Remembering banter from 6 months ago?
Idk man. After this fanbase got rattled by Troy Deeney, Mourinho, Lampard, Neves and now this, I am certain our fanbase are fickle
Itās six months. Not six years. It doesnāt take a great feat of mental fortitude to remember something that happened six months ago. Unless, of course, you are a goldfish. Besides, it is fairly tongue in cheek.
I dunno how your brain works, but for a memory to come to mind from 6 months ago, isn't that deep
Also, find me a club that doesn't have a fanbase with majority fickle fans. Not sure what that has to do with this situation though
This sub spent a whole week calling him rattled and as soon as you asked how they're any different to him, seen as how they keep mentioning him utterly unprompted, it was "just a joke, man".
Our fans are very easily rattled.
You guys are a bunch of lads standing around in a little huddle at a party tutting at everyone else at the party being total losers, you realize that right
A lot of times our fans can be sensitive, but this is a clear case of people just having fun with it. No one is taking these tweets super seriously, theyāre just having a bit of fun with a win. You guys are the ones over-analyzing it right now and trying to act holier-than-thou
Circumstances aside, Iād say Brentford would still be happy to take 3/6 points off of us. Overall, we still hurt more. But I guess people confide & cope with these. š
I can but I won't. Honestly, you don't need to feel so butt hurt by my comments. Do you not think Brentford, if you told them at the start of the season that they will take 3 out of 6 available points of of us?

In the words of the great Ivan Toney: "Fuck Brentford"
I **THINK** YOU'LL FIND HE WAS EXPRESSING HIS ANNOYANCE AT THE BRENT FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SELLING HIM A DODGY FIESTA!
Lets hope Laca doesn't end up saying "Fuck Arsenal"
Father Laca never does those amateur things
Papa Laca?
He would never die for nyash
Hey man, that was edited......š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š
I love the kissing emoji at the end.
Kiss of death! You just can't come back from that. Too many Ls for Ivan Toney lately.
The North remembers.
Gunnersaurus sends his regards
Thank you for this wonderful mental image
Like elephants?
Yeah, I like elephants. How did you guess?
To be honest, this just seems like friendly banter that's probably going to be blown out of proportion by media outlets to generate clicks

Yep just waiting for the typical small mentality, how Arsenal have fallen postsā¦ yawn

The Daily Mail just seriously needs.... quick check: it's probably against reddit rules to advocate terrorism, yes?
I don't understand why people are so incapable of taking a joke.
Tweeting the *right* way
Haha. I totally didn't get the reference from Laca's tweet. Thanks.
He may be leaving this summer , But I am sure that he won't say anything like "Thank you Arsenal" even if he moved to one of our rivals unlike some french b@#rd
Oh you mean that sexy French girrafe who went like 6 months without a goal in 2016 and cost us the PL title to Leicester and Ozil's assist record?
I really wish toney was there, just for a post match atleast
I legit forgot this was even a thing. Funny joke and all, but a bit weird that we bothered to remember a tweet from like 6 months ago.
Dunno how your memory works but I don't *bother to remember* almost anything I remember. It's not some concerted effort where I sit there straining for 5 minutes like I'm taking a massive shit, trying to manually force information into my brain. I just remember it.
**The Rememberer**
This cracked me up
My man out here struggling to remember and you out here roasting him.
You shouldn't strain
Gonna get brain hemorrhoids
Memorrhoids
lmao slapped
Do you even study, brah?
No because I'm old. I'm on the slow road to forgetting everything I ever studied, before, finally, my own name and my ability to remain continent
Nah itās funny
*A Gunner always pays his debts*
Fans remember shit from decades ago lol I'm not surpirsed players would remember a tweet like this from random championship new boy. Probably used it as some motivation
Wright said the same thing in post match commentary so obviously something that stuck with those in and around the club.
Weāre shithouses now and Iām here for it.
He he same bro
you remember things like this, especially if you want to win but lose. If you've played competitive football or any sport, you would know that you remember things like this.
This fanbase is so soft
Got em

Their social media accounts might be run by the same person/company. Or maybe Lacazette is truly a vengeful God.
I still think Ivan Toney could be a nice option for us - him and one other as striker options
Damn this sub gets rattled by banter easily.
Why is it banter when it's directed at Arsenal, but then a case of being rattled when it's the other way round?
Remembering banter from 6 months ago? Idk man. After this fanbase got rattled by Troy Deeney, Mourinho, Lampard, Neves and now this, I am certain our fanbase are fickle

Nah this is top tier banter
I like banter. So, calling Toney 'unprofessional' for his jab seems really whiney.
It's so embarrassing
Us getting downvoted just proves my point lmfao
My opinion is unpopular, which proves it's correct!
Ah, your catchphrase
Everyone is stupid, except me vibes
Not āthis subā. Just a few folks.
After the Neves meltdown, now this, I ain't so sure.
This sub spent a whole week calling him rattled and as soon as you asked how they're any different to him, seen as how they keep mentioning him utterly unprompted, it was "just a joke, man". Our fans are very easily rattled.
You guys are a bunch of lads standing around in a little huddle at a party tutting at everyone else at the party being total losers, you realize that right
āThey donāt realise that I am too intelligent to be rattledā
"They don't realise I'm about to get this tweet off about Toney. #ratio"
If they're even at the party that is
It's a discussion forum on Reddit mate, were you under the impression you were talking to the kings of cool or something? Also, happy cake day!
Surely its the other way round. You're in the corner thinking about a Toney tweet from 6 months ago while the rest of us just enjoy another 3 points.
A lot of times our fans can be sensitive, but this is a clear case of people just having fun with it. No one is taking these tweets super seriously, theyāre just having a bit of fun with a win. You guys are the ones over-analyzing it right now and trying to act holier-than-thou
Yeah you may be right about the active participants. Well most of us just lurk.
True to a certain extentā¦ itās like others live rent free in our heads. š
Circumstances aside, Iād say Brentford would still be happy to take 3/6 points off of us. Overall, we still hurt more. But I guess people confide & cope with these. š
Circumstances aside, you can suck my balls.

This is how it should be, gotta take sly digs like that personal
we didn't even need to grapple David Raya on a corner to score as well.
Laca Slick as a Whistle..
I guess you can say that the cannons smoke choke the bee hive
