Arsenal (H) - Sat 28 Aug 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Not sure whether I want Arsenal to beat Chelsea today or not. if they beat Chelsea that could set them up for our game. They are a strange side. They have some top quality players and yet still the sum is much less than the parts. I like Arteta but I don't think the Arsenal fanbase has much patience. I don't think their owners will have much patience either. They have spent £260m net over 3 seasons which is more than City and yet City's revenue must by now dwarf Arsenal.

going to be very tight at end of season,we need chelsea to drop as many points as possible

A bit daft doing this so early, they could have bought 2 or 3 more average players at £50m a pop by then.

There's been such a turnaround in our results against Arsenal in recent years: we've gone from winning once in 9 meetings, to winning 10 of the last 11 games against them.

1 nil to the Arsenal it is then!

Torres is not good enough v mobile CBs. If Kane does turn up, I want him playing, not sat on the bench.

Hope there's no covid outbreak at Arsenal, next week's game could be in doubt

Peps first dilemma of the season. Jesus or mahrez? Sterling or grealish?
dont see how you can drop jesus after yesterday. Maybe we go false 9 to fit 3 of them in.

Agreed, He did make some runs, but when it mattered, he was found making the wrong choices.
The goal that was disallowed was a smart finish, he just needs to stop overthinking his game.

If we don’t beat Gunners after just seeing their comedy v Rentboys, then we really need to stop wasting golden chances. Yes, we did put 5 away last game, however, Arsenal won’t give us as much space as Norwich do.

Standby for a 30 yard thunderbastard by Xhaka with their first shot.
