Alawys said this. He knew exactly what he was doing that day.

They’ll target cherki on Sunday

Need a strong ref who will stand up to Arsenal shithousing.

We get the one **** that will allow it then book Bernie for his first foul.

 

[Blue Theatre]

Hopefully we can grab an earlyish goal & then they start to panic & be unsure whether they can afford to waste time & sit back.

For me the ideal situation midweek for them is a win after ET. Yes it might give them a boost but physically it fucks them and it means a tough semi final with Atletico or Barca which takes more out of them and could cost them further points in the league.

As for the game itself, just got to pile the pressure on them and make sure they suffer so the 3pts are ours.

my mother, a lifelong blue, will be 82 on sunday.
what a gift it will be if we win.

 

[Father Paul]

Never wish this on opposition players. Remember when Pogba said it about us then got injured himself?

Nah. A muscle strain that causes someone to miss a match is fine. But one should not wish a bad injury on anyone although I am sure there are one or two exceptions to this rule.

Exactly my belief after he took the piss during the Final.

 

[Bay Area Blue 93]

A huge game.

I expect them to play dirty and try to put us off our game, as usual.

We still owe that c**t Havertz for his cheap shot on Rodri last season, so i hope someone gives him a hard hello!

We're coming into form at just the right time though, are at home and are the better team, so i think we'll win comfortably.

3-1 to us.

Thought it was the accused rapist Thomas Partey (who shouldn't really have even been playing, like Mendy when he was accused) that injured Rodri?

I'm talking about when Havertz threw his shoulder into Rodri's face in the first 10 seconds. He should've walked for that! A horrible c**t!

I’m sure that was pre planned, says a lot about that club and manager

Who is any better? They are all as bad as each other

 

[man on the moon]

I'm think most of us agree that they will come for the draw,it's up to the team to be at them from the 1st whistle and batter their defense and score 1st,if we achieve that they will have to come out and that's when we can get the job done

 

[lasereyes]

Officially, but to all intents and purposes it's the Burnley game, isn't it?

After all, that's what's going to bring us back in line in terms of games played.

We play Palace at home not away. Arse have to go to Selhurst. But objectively our remaining games are materially harder than Arse's. That may not mean much given they are playing of course.

Disagree. I think Arsenal are shaky right now in terms of belief. One of the things I've been hearing more and more is that Arsenal are lacking imagination and any creativity on offense. They're relying on set pieces and corners. I think they got a bit lucky against Sporting. If they bag an early goal, i think their belief will start to crumble. If they lose - oh boy. I think the locker room starts to self-destruct. But i do agree that if they get pushed to extra time, that will help us regardless of the outcome.

Arteta will deffo be content with a point and keeping the goal difference intact. Hope we bum them 6-0.
Expecting a horrible game from them and even worse officiating - I'tll be like playing a Spanish team away in the CL.

Fuck me they’ve gone full on avengers to stop us here haven’t they!

I agree with you, it was. I think Havertz tried it on immediately after KO, Partey was in the box when he did the damage. Absolute cnut who should not have been anywhere near a football pitch, let alone out on the streets imo.

Indeed. I also thought we got away with some leniency on Sunday, that said I always expect evety goal of ours to be disallowed. The pigmob and betting cartels will really ramp it up now to do everything they can to influence games and stop us.

82-0 would sort the goal difference out as well.
