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

Makes me laugh when people say he never played for a draw. Bullshit. I'm sure they didn't even have a shot on target that game did they? Kompany pocketed Rooney.

Correct.

Not one shot on target all game.

And when we scored, the bully didn’t have a plan B to get the rags back into the match.

Look at our full back, then look at theirs.

corrected...

Indeed. Bedwetterblue more approriate

He's much faster and much more comfortable going out wide than Laporte.

Hopefully it won't matter because we'll be in possession down the other end 90% of the time ;-)

Ake slander needs to stop. He's quicker than Laporte and a way better 1v1 defender, which with Bernie on left he'll be doing.

We give Akanji shit but lost count how many times he had to get across and defend behind Laporte in 2nd half vs Villa.

 

[heslops barnet]

Last seven a their place: DWWWWWW

Not lost since December 2015 in the league: Won 11 Drawn 2

Somethings gotta give.

We're not scoring many away from home.

Going for: 3-0 to le arse

;)
;)

Fuck me, you’re a bundle of laughs…..

 

[Frankie lad]

Just put a small wager on 0-5 at 175/1.
It seemed only right to do so.

 

[Silva&Silva]

City tv is like arsenal fan tv.
Showing loads of arsenal goals and us getting dicked.

Had to turn it off.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Great line up. Trust in Pep.

Doesn’t sound like there’s any point tuning in as the outcome has already been decided going off what’s written on here.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Looks a risky defensive set up on paper imo.

Looks like Pep is going for a “we’ll score more than you” type of vibe.

Could be a 3-4 type of game.

 

[Lemon7277]

I feel a draw tonight wouldn't be that bad a result

Would mean they will of gone 3 without a win and mentally that's gunna start casting the seeds of doubt and a bit of panic

Where I think with us being there before and hunting teams back we are mentally stronger when the chips are down

There is some light amongst all the darkness but getting harder to find now
COME ON CITY..

Yup zi just popped in here and looks like that .

 

[tregyblue61]

Fuck me, you’re a bundle of laughs…..

Have a look at the last 2 lines.

I'm taking the piss. A bit of reverse psychology.

 

[Crouchinho]

Tear them a new Arsenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll miss some of the first half but I'll be watching. Anticipating some antics from the Lego man and Arsenal TV going mentalist

 

[Ashleymcduff]

They look there for the taking tonight .

Martennli is burnt out and midfield looks weak.

Let’s smash them !!!

Could be a 3-4 type of game.

Cheers for that. I'm popping off now to back 0-0 ;)

 

[Mr Edward's shoe mirror]

I think this game will be won or lost on attitude. Arsenal will be fired up and come out like a steam train, and their fans will be going potty, but one thing that they haven't had to do all season, is chase the ball.

And if there's one thing that Pep knows how to do, is to keep the ball. De Bruyne will be pivotal, because he has that extra gear to go up. Especially when it really matters in games like this. Odegaard will be redundant.

Only let them touch it when they are picking it out of their own net.

Fuck going for a draw, smash them to bits. Leave them spinning for the rest of the season.
