Right, we are out of Carabao Cup and FA Cup, but not everything is lost. We are 11 points clear of Man City in Premier League and we can take that lead to 12 points if we beat Bournemouth today. City do have 2 games in hand, but if they win both, we will still have a 6 point lead with only 6 games left for the season. In Champions League, we have a 1-0 advantage against Sporting and the second leg is at home. If we managed to get at least a draw, we will be playing Atletico (most likely) in the semi finals. I would rather play Atletico than Flick’s Barcelona.
The chance of lifting a trophy is still a possibility. And a win today will improve that possibility even more. Bournemouth are sitting in the bottom half of the table, and I hope we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot today.
Playing XI is out and I still don’t understand what has gotten into Arteta’s mind.
Why is Martinelli in the playing XI when you have Hincapie available. It’s not the time to be concerned about the injuries, because a loss in any of the games could mean a title. I’m OK with rest of the selection, Eze could have played ahead of Havertz but I’m not sure how much of his fitness is back.
I don’t understand the fact that we spend more than 250m on midfielders (Rice, Zubimendi, Norgaard, Havertz, Odegaard) and yet, we always have 2 DM-profile players and an option to choose from a non-performing Odegaard with a out-of-form Havertz. Anyway, that shouldn’t be a problem for a team sitting on 1st, playing against a bottom half team I suppose.
We need to win today. Man City has to visit Chelsea tomorrow and though I don’t have much confidence in Chelsea beating them, anything can happen. In last 3 seasons, we have always been the favorites going into last 7-8 games but have given it away. There are 7 games left, and 7 test of whether we have learned something over the years.
Right, game starts in an hour. See ya.

Oliver is fucking useless – a good day for him is only making 6 major fuck ups!
That was not a free kick.
The only question is will Eze be straight on or will Captain Cunt give it 10 – 15 minutes.
Second half. Initiative handed back to Bournemouth. Fucking Arteta masterclass.
Need subs on early today. Team looks leggy.
Dowman, Eze and Trossard on the pitch. Some positive changes, with 40 min to play.
Lets see how this turns out now.
Stupid foul by Dowboy
Is Reiss Nelson on the bench by any chance?
This is sooooo fucking poor and sooooo fucking Arteta.
Clear offside
How White become so poor ?
They are routing via that side.
Earlier Havertz was miserable and fortunately been pulled out
Play more the back passes you cunts.
That’s 3 points dropped when it matters the most.
Fucking shit show. I think that’s it for another year.
I cannot tolerate his over emotional piss poor leadership any longer. He’s ruining these players and the club. Get fucking rid of this prick.
Too late to get Mourinho IN for rest of the season?
Don’t give this cunt another penny
Kroenke
The rumours are if Arteta doesn’t win a major trophy this season (the League Cup and FA Cup weren’t considered to be one of them) then he’s gone.
Pray for Enrique.
Marc
If we cant get Enrique then Bournemouth’s manager should be considered – loses his players to keep the club afloat and comes back with a new side that is equally as good.
Woeful. Really embarrassing. I think it’s all over. Fuck Arteta.
THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY WARNING
BEAWARE OF INCOMING EXCUSES
REPEAT BEWARE OF INCOMING EXCUSES
Over to you Art – what word best describes our Manager?
NORG
Spot on. They didn’t look like they were missing Semenyo did they? We’ve been fucking terrible now for weeks. The little cunt manages to make it happen every season.
