Arsenal (A) - Wed 15th Feb, 19:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Axel Freed]

Arteta is way too emotional for a title race.

He’s throwing a hissy fit not accepting PGMOLs apology unless they give him 2 points back, and saying it wasn’t human error.

We beat this lot and they will fold like a deck chair.

Might check to see what the odds are that he gets sent off are, because if we are winning he will be a prick on the touchline and the referees are cracking down presumably because Webb has taken over and this BBC violence against referees investigation.

In the same way that McEnroe was always on his best behaviour when playing against Borg, Arteta is sufficiently respectful of Pep to keep his histrionics to a minimum

find it funny that a perfectly good goal for brentford was ruled out for them to go 1up

Yep, MOTD and most others happy to ignore that. What happened to things being looked at as having evened out over a game as here. Arsenal should try being humble.

You watched a different game to me. From what I’ve seen Rico Lewis has struggled in his last couple of appearances. Personally I think it’s time to take him out especially for the big games. Let’s see what Pep does.

Lewis can’t start in this game. Experience counts for a lot in games like this.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Why doesn't Tomas Franks come out and say that, to shut the moaning fucker up

Folk are a bit more classy in West London it would appear. Noted Arsenal’s racists were out in force targeting Toney on social media.

Tomas Frank's should come out and say that, that would boil his piss

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Pace. Power. Ball Retention. Clinical.

Take it to them.

Clean sheet victory, no injuries or cards or regrets !!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Pep won’t pick it, but for me this would be the ideal line up….

Eddie

Kyle
Ruben
Eric
Nathan

Rodders
Kev
Bernie

Phil
Jack
Erling

Tough on Mahrez but I think Phil would be perfect up against Zinny in this one.

 

[wolviedinho]

The bent refs better not try and fix the Var fuck up in this match against us. We are still owed points and an apology for the rashford debacle.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

I just hope the officials tonight don't think they 'owe' him a couple of points.

It’s what they do tomorrow that I’m bothered about…

 

[bondsman]

Don't really care that Guardiola apologised to Gerrard, that's his prerogative. Let's get back on topic, namely the huge game tomorrow night.

Think the team largely picks itself, only question mark for me is who makes way for Ake. Suspect it'll be one of Bernardo or Gundogan, although you could make a strong case for both of them to be in the starting XI.

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo/Gundogan
De Bruyne
Grealish
Mahrez
Haaland

Need Bernardo’s legs in my opinion. Arsenal are a mobile outfit we need to match that energy.

yes, very peculiar they didn't even show in on the highlights, you'd think that a contentious disallowed goal would be shown?

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

I’ve not read back to check, so I half expect it’s already been said many times over (and I apologise for the following repetitive bollox), but for those of you who, like me, haven’t read the previous pages:-
the game is free to watch live on Amazon Prime . . . . So if you have Prime, or if you’re on a “free 30 day trial” with Prime or if your mate has a Prime subscription and wants to log into Prime at yours to watch the game with you, at yours, because he’s lost the remote control to his telly . . then you’re sorted.

 

[Gray]

Arsenal want their two points back from the Brentford game, that’s us fucked tomorrow.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Arsenal want their two points back from the Brentford game, that’s us fucked tomorrow.

So if we also get the points given back to us that are owed by VAR over the seasons, we’ll finish the season on over 120 points…

Was not aware, thanks for that.

Can we have our 2 points back against Man Ure too please.

Can Wolves be put back in the FA cup and their goal allowed now too.

Agree largely with that team, I think Bernie will tear around like a dervish for 60 mins and then Gundog will come on to either sit deep and slow it down or find pockets to work in behind Haaland depending on the score.

I’d pick Akanji over Dias though. Dias isn’t match sharp and in any case has had a bang average season - and that’s being kind to him

 

[eversince 76]

Never mind the starting 11. It’ll be a close encounter. Both team not at their very best at the moment.
We need to make sure we don’t lose this one. A win and we are top. This way we can put more pressure on them.

What should highly motivate us is the whole matter of the charges against us. Especially vs one of the old top 4. No Marcy please.

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Need to smash these Tarquins tomorrow evening to show them who the Champions still are.
