Who says we aren't expecting to lose at the Etihad? That's 100% our toughest game all season. I know Ratboy said we'd win there but we all know how Arteta will set up for that game, unless we need to win.Things are going their way too ..... eight own goals have been scored by their opponents in the last 21 games .. today's game was inexplicably thrown Arsenals way by that useless goalkeeping lunatic guarding the Chelsea goals, just when Chelsea were lookin' good for a draw .. Arsenal are NOT expecting to lose at the Etihad ..... we need to hang in there, force the issue, and take them down when we get the chance, or it's not gonna happen.
Statistics, rankings & and damn lies etc etc.I'm a Gooner and I think it's bollocks but according to ELO rankings this season's Arsenal side is the 8th best team in history, better than both the Centurions and the Invincibles.
Again, I'll reiterate I think it's bollocks but here it is;

ELO ELO ELO.Why would Jeff Lynne get involved?
Brighton.This is where I stand as well. They’re not a great side but outside of coming to us I don’t see where they drop points.
Your lot have got form for not thinking you need to win a match whilst believing that you'll still be able to win the league. It bit you on the arse then and it'll bite you on the arse again at the end of the season IMO.Who says we aren't expecting to lose at the Etihad? That's 100% our toughest game all season.

Thing is our defence isn't anywhere as solid as it was earlier in the season so I think to get a point we'll need at least 2 goals and Donnarumma has a hex on us.
I think we need you guys to drop points in 2 more games for us to win the league.
They are dire. Like a lower league team. If they do it they will be the worst ever team to win the English title. Just wrestling and lumping the ball into the box. They foul or obstruct at every single set piece. The referees are facilitating it.Stoke City 2
Chelsea 1
Such a poor advert for the PL. We really have set the footballing standard over the Pep years, and these pretenders from Islington are taking football back to the stone age. Shit cunts.
Definitely don't agree on Spurs (!) but agree the current Arsenal outfit are maybe better than Leicester and one of the Rags teams that won the league with 79 points or whatever but that's it.Statistics, rankings & and damn lies etc etc.
As you say, a load of bollocks. I can think of a lot more than 8 teams in my lifetime better than this Arsenal side. Anyone with a half decent knowledge of the game would say the same, I reckon. If you end up winning the PL then fair do's, but you'll still be a long way off the top all-time 8 IMHO. Apart from City there have been various Rags, Dippers and earlier Arse teams better than this lot. Even the Bill Nicholson era Spuds team were streets ahead. You may not agree on that one though. LOL. :-)
Well I can't disagree with that.Your lot have got form for not thinking you need to win a match whilst believing that you'll still be able to win the league. It bit you on the arse then and it'll bite you on the arse again at the end of the season IMO.
The weird looking little lego man never seems to learn from his mistakes, does he?!?
Mate, do you honestly not see what you do at corners as against the laws and fouling?What we are able to do is play shit and win with set pieces so I'd say we might be the best ever PL side at taking them
Mate, this is the message of the season about arse anal , the cheating, crying, diving, time wasting, thug cheating bastards... We now don't play the best football but when the referees judged their games fairly, they should be now minimum 10 points behind us !!!Mate, do you honestly not see what you do at corners as against the laws and fouling?
If you believe what you've written above I think you might actually be delusional.
You're not the best at taking corners, you're (for some "unknown" reason) being allowed to foul, at both ends of the pitch, with impunity at them. Do you not see, perhaps, that that's how you're scoring so many goals from them? Taking all the defenders out by grappling them to the point of not being able to move often helps your one free man get a bit of an advantage. Decent delivery, but not so decent that a defender who'd not been taken out wouldn't be able to deal with.
There should've been two penalties against you at the other end yesterday alone too; the handball by Rice as he bear-hugged the player he was "marking", and the bear-hug by Saliba (?) and missed punch which sort of landed to the head by Raya. Neither looked at properly, both swept under the carpet. Nothing to see here, just look at the arse "juggernaut" rumbling onwards! It's been going on all season.
You're not a great team, you're a very good team who are having a blind eye turned to certain aspects of their game by the officials.
For the sake of football I hope you fall short again this year. Not even that arsed if it's us that pips you to it, just so long as your cheating doesn't prosper.
Yeah they definitely don’t have the ability to slip up against a team like WolvesThis is where I stand as well. They’re not a great side but outside of coming to us I don’t see where they drop points.
Don’t forget after the recent Trossard concussion debacle you declared you were finally done with ArtetaWell I can't disagree with that.
Look at recent games (including today). Go 1-0 up and then play ultra conservatively instead of go for the kill and we get undone.
Tony Pulis says "Bugger off, I want my medal for inspiring them".Compare City’s sublime Semenyo goal with Arsenal’s set piece battles and who would you rather win the Premier League?
