Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

Doubt in our minds? Sounds like a good title for a number 1 pop song.

Close but no cigar / Thomas Dolby , would be more apt , but don't worry if we win the domestic double just like the Dippers in 2019 you will get an invite to the Community Shield

Arsenal next games are Palace and Leeds at home then Liverpool and West Ham away. Winnable on paper but it'd be impressive if they won all 4.

Immediately after playing us they have a run of Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton. You'd think that City need to be ahead of them by the end of that run to realistically win the title.

Not a good result for us, ideally we needed them to play Thurs/ Sunday for a few more weeks.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

That was just a fart...

Some of it was a fart.........

I'm pleased they are out. Being in allows them to rotate and keep all of their squad happy and match sharp.

We tend to do better at the end of the season when matches are coming thick and fast and we can develop a rhythm.

Palace are absolutely dire with talk of Viera getting the sack but you never know. If they drop points on Sunday after losing tonight it could derail them. Fingers crossed.

This loss will have done more damage than the extra games would.

Have`nt Crystal Palace had a week off and Arsenal just play 120 minutes and lost.

On paper they should win both but lets see what happen now the screw is being turned, CP and LU will be fighting for their prem survival. Their real test is the 9 games after

There is that, hopefully Zaha and Essie run a tired defence ragged.

 

[samuelyeboah]

didn't see the game but apparently saliba and tomiyasu got injured?

 

[freshie]

I think its all yours even if you drop points v us. We will drop more..we have made up a total 0 points on you in last 12 games can't see a 5 point swing in next 12. Deserved winners re consistencyvand effort, we may beat you three times this season mind you! Which will be a bitter pill for us as we have been weak a fair bit this year..and trying to accomodate a trad CF for me has not suited us. Not convinced itcwas solely Pep's idea..we all think he has a free reign but he does have a paymaster

Get a fucking room you two

No. Palace played their biggest game of the year (v. Brighton) on Wednesday.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Arsenal now have 11 games left to play. Once a week almost.
City potentially have 19 games to play.

Yep. Can go two ways of course. They may be fresher in the legs, but the doubts can begin to build up and they may not be so fresh in their heads. A couple of results that aren't wins may be all it takes. Same for us of course. We will see. Should be fun.

I still had us as slight favourites before last night, but now .... it's a toss up, imho, so game by game is the only way to look at it, really......

 

[FantasyIreland]

Bitter sweet......Glad they got beat,glad their squad is finally getting stretched,and especially glad it was that cheating **** Martinelli that missed a penalty......not at all glad that they have half the games left that we do,and their entire focus is on the Prem,and even less glad that the Rags now have a great opportunity to secure another trophy (however 2nd rate it may be).

 

[Father Paul]

There is that, hopefully Zaha and Essie run a tired defence ragged.

Let's hope they also figure out how to put the ball in the net.

 

[kupest]

What the fuck, I'd want them in that competition to beat the Rags if nothing else.

 

[dickie davies]

City are better suited to regular weekend/midweek churn

Isn't that what I said!

 

[Woody135]

I dont care about more/less games left.
Buzzing they are out
Buzzing they lost so late on pens and had to watch and listen to the sporting players celebrate at their ground
Buzzing their players will be gutted

For “the best team in europe this season” to have 1 chance left of a trophy with 11 league games left, theyre clearly not what they think they are. Hopefully doubt creeps in.

Their recent “blip” came after we knocked them out of fa cup. Hopefully this results in the same.

The pressure (from within) will now be immense. These players will have been thinking about trophies earlier in the season no doubt. 1 chance left and they have city to contend with.

We obviously have to win our home game against them. But assuming we do, they must match our run in to win the league. 1 additional draw and its ours on GD.

The 5 points gap could be lost in 2 games and theres 11 left.
They still have away at liverpool, away at city, away at newcastle, home to chelsea, home to brighton.

Points will be dropped, we just need to be in a position to take advantage.

… and if we dont, hopefully we can still win an fa cup or CL. Options are good!

If we wore red shirts, the media would be talking about a treble every bloody day now.
